Despite extensive representation by Stellar, nearly 25% of the results are still outstanding. Also, for an unknown reason, an upper-detection limit of 1,000 PPB (1.0 gr Au/t) was applied by the SGS laboratory to all analyses; it is therefore not possible at this stage to calculate a gold average grade for the mineralized core section received so far showing grades higher than 1.0 gr Au/t.

QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)

Moreover, the SGS grades calculated for the Quality Control witness mineralized and blanks samples inserted by Stellar within core samples are not satisfactory according to industry standard. Current consultation on this issue with Ultragold and SGS laboratory might entail the re-analysis of all samples. The QC applied by Stellar consists of inserting 10% of witness mineralized and blanks samples within all batches of samples sent to the laboratory. The comparison between the grades calculated by the laboratory and the mineralized standards’ grade will ensure the accuracy of laboratory results.

Mr. Maurice Giroux, CEO of Stellar and Qualified Person, declared: “The Company is very sorry about this inconvenience and wishes to reassure all shareholders that this situation is attributable to the Company’s high quality assurance and control standards. Stellar also wishes to confirm that according to drill core observations and the partial results obtained so far, the targeted mineralized zones were hit at depth and that gold mineralization is also present in the zones intercepted.

These unfortunate issues should be settled shortly and results will be published once they are deemed satisfactory by the Company’s geologists and representatives. Always for reasons of Ac/Qc, the Company urged its geologist and technical crew to the drill site to re-sample the entire mineralized core section where results received so far shows substantial gold mineralisation. The new results will be compared to current results for accuracy purposes.”

ABOUT THE BALANDOUGOU PROPERTY

The Balandougou project in Guinea is a 49% / 51% joint venture between Stellar Pacific Ventures and its partner Ultragold Holding based in Denver. Colorado. The Balandougou property is located 100 kilometres north of Siguiri in Upper Guinea at the Mali border. It is comprised of four contiguous exploration licences that cover an extensive area of 606 km².

To date, on the basis of adequate geochemistry coverage and extensive geological observations of numerous artisan digging sites and on the basis of a full magnetic and radiometric coverage of the whole 606 km² of the Balandougou property, 16,000 metres of core and RC drilling were done on the property. This work led to the discovery of three extensive gold mineralized structures, namely, the Solotomo, B3 and B1 zones. Those three structures total 2,000 linear metres of gold mineralization and all three of them remain open in all directions.

STELLAR’S SOCIAL COMMUNITY INVOLVMENT

As part of its continued commitment in the local community benefit, this year, the Company is proud to have provided school uniforms and school supplies to all 316 students of the Balandougou village elementary school. The uniforms and school supplies were delivered at the start of the school year as promised.
