East Star Resources Plc
("East Star" or the "Company")
Two New Porphyry Licences Awarded
East Star Resources Plc (LSE:EST), the Kazakhstan-focused gold and base metals
explorer, is pleased to announce it has been awarded two new licences in the
Balkash-Ili Arc in Kazakhstan. The new licences comprise the Piket and Judzha
projects. The licences were acquired under the first-come-first-serve system
in Kazakhstan as a result of desktop and field studies targeting copper
porphyry deposits.
Highlights:
· Two licences, prospective for Cu-Au porphyry and related systems have
been granted to East Star
· Very large 8km x 3km alteration system in the Piket licence,
dominated by Advanced Argillic Alteration; similar age and setting to the
Macquarie Arc in Australia which is host to world class Cu-Au porphyry and
epithermal deposits
· Anomalous gold up to 0.27g/t recorded in rock chips from Piket
Project
· Anomalous silver up to 4.56g/t recorded in breccias from the Judzha
Project
Alex Walker, CEO of East Star Resources, commented:
"The East Star team has worked hard over the last two field seasons to
generate and assess more than 20 areas prospective for porphyry and epithermal
gold deposits. As a result, we are excited to announce the grant of the next
two licences in the portfolio prospective for copper porphyry deposits. Since
applying for the licences, the team has mapped the prospects, laying the
foundation for the next season's fieldwork. While the Licences are situated
within the joint venture area of interest with Endeavour Mining, the targeting
was focussed on copper porphyry deposits and so have been excluded from the
joint venture."
Next Steps
Data collection and compilation from the state archives is ongoing and will be
completed over the Kazakh winter season. The key focus of this work is to
understand what work was completed by the Soviets and to compile the
historical assay results from the multiple trenches, which have been
identified through mapping at the two projects. Additionally, rock chips from
recent mapping will be submitted for assay once the data compilation is
completed, in time to inform the work programme for the 2026 field season.
The Piket Project
The Piket Project ("Piket") is located approximately 80km south of the city of
Karaganada and approximately 20km west of the town of Shopa on the main
Astana-Almaty highway, with excellent access to the project area via a network
of farm tracks. The project appears as a large volcanic edifice composed of a
central core of variably altered andesitic volcanic rocks, which has been
intruded by a monzonite in the south. Figures 1 and 2 below illustrate the
results of the recently completed Piket mapping.
The project displays the following key attributes, which demonstrate its
potential fertility:
1. Anomalous geochemistry: Initial rock chip samples returned up to
0.269 g/t gold in quartz veins along the eastern margin of the intrusive. This
highly anomalous gold is regarded as a strong indicator of system fertility.
Additionally, epithermal veins, which were trenched in Soviet times, have been
identified around 5km to the east of Piket. These veins demonstrate the
preservation of the epithermal environment.
2. Extensive alteration: Piket displays extensive argillic alteration in
the north and the south and at least two areas of extensive alunite veining
have been observed through the mapping. Alteration is strongest in the
southern part of the license area with extensive quartz-pyrophyllite
alteration observed at surface. Pyrophyllite is diagnostic of the higher
temperature parts of the porphyry lithocap environment and is used a key
vector to the hottest and therefore most prospective parts of the system.
3. Alkaline affinity: The monzonitic rocks in the project area display
alkalic alteration, which is a key feature of other prospective porphyry
belts, such as the Macquarie Arc in Australia. The arc has produced world
class Cu and Au bearing porphyry systems, such as Cadia-Ridgeway and North
Parkes. Recognition of this alkalic intrusive event supports the potential for
exploration for this style of mineralisation, which has been hitherto
unrecognised in Kazakhstan.

The Judzha Project
The Judzha Project ("Judzha") is located approximately 100km northwest of the
city of Balkhash and approximately 40km west of the main Astana-Almaty
highway, with good access to the project area via a network of dirt roads.
Judzha hosts a large lithocap composed of a central core of hematitic breccias
surrounded by intermediate volcanic rocks that intrude the granitic basement.
Figures 3 and 4 below show the results of the recently completed Judzha
mapping.
The prospect displays the following attributes which demonstrate its potential
fertility:
1. Multiple breccia events: Judzha was clearly a very active
hydrothermal system with multiple overprinting breccia events, including
intrusive breccias, hydrothermal breccias, and phreatomagmatic breccias.
2. Extensive evidence of sulfides with pyrite preserved on the margins
of the system and relic sulfides now overprinted by hematite throughout the
core of the system.
3. Epithermal textures observed in places with examples of vugs
containing comb quartz, characteristic of the epithermal environment.
4. High-level geochemical anomalism including a peak result of up to
4.56g/t Ag in rock chips.
