Brian Thurston, President & CEO of Interra, commented: "Acquiring the Stars Property is transformative for Interra. The Company changes from a junior exploring to make a discovery, to a junior with a discovery that is looking to define a resource. The Star property has two complementary exploration upsides, with an established zone of higher-grade mineralization that Interra can grow and define, and a much broader under-explored area with high potential for new discovery. After evaluating the technical data our exploration team is highly motivated to apply this new exploration model to this exciting property."
