Eagle Star Finds Up To 22% P2O5 At Ruth Project

EAGLE STAR MINERALS ADVANCES EXPLORATION PROGRAM ON AGROMINERAL RUTH PROJECT, PIAUI, BRAZIL

Eagle Star Minerals Corp. has advanced its agromineral exploration program on the southern portion of its Ruth project, in the state of Piaui, Brazil, known as the Paes Landim block. This southern portion was selected based on high concentrations of phosphate found during the initial reconnaissance campaign and due to good logistics. The Paes Landim block is also intersected by the right-of-way for the Transnordestina railway, which is currently under construction with a completion date of 2013.

The exploration areas selected have been subdivided into two targets: Brasilia to the North and Salvador to the South (Figure 1). The Company is currently focusing on the Salvador target but has also initiated work on the Brasilia target. So far, the first phase of trenching was completed on the Salvador target, which included 11 excavations, while 10 trenches are planned for Brasilia.

In the Brasilia target Eagle Star has identified different forms of phosphate occurrences within the target levels of siltstone. The first occurrence appears within centimetric layers of carbonate material with evidence of phosphates (P2O5) interspersed with purple siltstone. The second occurrence shows as purple siltstone with mineralized nodules in which the phosphate levels in nodules range from 15% to 22% P2O5. The third occurs gradually, corresponding to interspersed sandstones and siltstones containing mineralized nodules in P2O5. (Figure 2)

Salvador Target

Within the Salvador target, Eagle Star has identified 3 different levels of siltstone with inter nodules including thin layers of sandstones. The total area of the Salvador target covers 1,600 hectares (nearly 4000 acres), over which detailed mapping has been completed (Figure 3). Through this process, Eagle Star has identified the exact position of the best concentration of nodules, within the deep weathered siltstone. Grab sample results from the work completed have confirmed the values of the first campaign.
