TriStar Gold is advancing Brazil’s premier gold development project, its 100% owned flagship property Castelo de Sonhos, in mining-friendly Pará State. Listed as TSG on the TSX Venture Exchange and TSGZF on the OTC, TriStar has completed a pre-feasibility study and anticipates receiving the LP permit early in 2024. This critical environmental permit on the 1.4 million ounce reserve will highlight CDS as one of the few large gold reserves in a good mining jurisdiction with an environmental permit in hand.
For Brazil, the world’s 5th largest country, mineral production contributed an estimated US$43.7B of gross value to Brazilian GDP in 2020. Gold in Brazil has a history back to the 1700s, when a gold rush in the then-Portuguese colony opened the country as a major gold-producing region.
The Castelo de Sonhos property encompasses a 15km by 12km plateau in the Tapajós region of Pará State. It has an average elevation above sea level of approximately 600m and stands around 350m above the surrounding plains.

Opportunity
2024 should be a transformational year as TriStar moves on from the critical but subdued work of permitting into the last phases of development and towards construction. This will also be the time when we consider all forms of offers to assist in getting this exciting project into production.
The 2021 PFS defined a simple open pit operation that returned a post-tax NPV5% of US$321 million at $1,550 gold and IRR of 28%. The project is in a farming region, adjacent to all the required infrastructure and with easy access to airports and ports, making it an ideal place to permit a mine. With strong community and local government support, the 2023 permitting milestones were achieved seamlessly.
TriStar has a Board of Directors ready to take this medium to large scale project through development and on the road to production. Tristar Gold is committed to a transparent approach to responsible development and mining while fostering a safe workplace for our employees and contractors. Beyond reflecting our values, this commitment to sustainability acknowledges the significant and growing desire within society to see companies focus on ESG. Minimizing environmental impacts and externalities is core to our approach, while maintaining open and respectful relationships with communities and regulators to ensure that benefits from our operations can flow through partnerships that are enduring and impactful.
Summary
The Castelo de Sonhos gold project in Pará State, Brazil, is approximately 20km from the town of Castelo de Sonhos. It is a paleoplacer gold deposit that is large, simple and in the right location.
The approximately 70,000m of drilling conducted at site has defined a mineral resource of:
Indicated: 53.1 million tonnes at 1.0 g/t gold for 1.8 million ounces, and
Inferred: 26 million tonnes at 0.9 g/t gold for 700,000 ounces.
The prefeasibility study completed in Q4 2021 returned compelling economics at US$1,550 gold:
- After-tax NPV5% of US$321 million
- After-tax IRR of 28%
- Phase 1: average annual gold production of 146,000 ounces
- Phase 2: average annual gold production of 91,000 ounces
- LOM: average annual gold production of 121,000 ounces
- AISC of US$900/oz
The project defined in the PFS has been used as the basis to advance permitting, with the main milestones of the SEMAS (Pará State government) site visit and townhall meeting both being completed successfully in 2023. The LP permit (main environmental permit in Brazil) is anticipated to be received in Q1 of 2024.

Risk Factors and Mitigation
Risks that are specific to TriStar gold and Castelo de Sonhos include:
Permitting Risk: The timely receipt of the LP permit. This is now mostly out of our hands and with the environmental authorities, and although we are highly optimistic, mine permitting is never guaranteed.
Technical Risk: TriStar envisages a 20,000m infill drill program as part of the feasibility study to confirm short range continuity, there is never a guarantee that drilling will return the results anticipated. The feasibility study itself will have a new result that is at this time unknown, but obvious risk factors will include price escalation and gold revenue factors.
Capital Market Risk: Whilst TriStar has sufficient funds for the short to medium term, additional funds will be required to complete the development plans. There is no guarantee that additional funds will be available or, if they are, what the terms may be.
