Blue Star Gold Corp. announced the mobilization date for the 2024 exploration program at its Ulu Gold Project and Roma Project in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut. Highlights: Mobilization of discovery drill program at Ulu and Roma Projects in May 2024; Gold focus, with a component of the program dedicated to discovery of critical mineral deposits; High-priority targets to be drilled based on potential for discovery, scale, and proximity to existing resources: Evaluation of higher-grade, larger targets within and near the Flood deposit; Initial drill test of the 2023 Mikigon surface discovery, a new style of mineralization at Ulu; Testing mineralized structures and targets in the trend that hosts the satellite Gnu deposit.

Several other high-potential targets will be evaluated (both gold and critical minerals); Geophysical and lithogeochemical surveys, and continued mapping and prospecting to refine and prioritize the substantial pipeline of targets. Blue Star plans to initiate its 2024 exploration program in May using mapping and prospecting along with geological and geophysical surveys to refine and prioritize targets from its abundant pipeline of prospects. Two drills will be deployed in July, with a minimum of 4,000 metres planned.

Numerous targets will be drill tested during the program including: Select infill and expansion drilling of known resources; Evaluation of mineralised structures within the Nutaaq Zone corridor (host to Gnu deposit); Discovery-focused drilling on key high potential targets. Mikigon: Exciting new field discovery in 2023; discovery drill test planned early in the program: Antiformal folded metasediments host to a +500 metre long and up to 4-metre-wide silicified structure with disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite halo around quartz-arsenopyrite vein; Grab samples grading up to 47.1 g/t gold; Under quaternary sediments to the north; work plan includes detailed geological mapping and prospecting on strike and on inferred parallel features; induced polarisation (IP) survey to determine potential signature and expand target; Drilling to test potential flat vein interpretations of hanging wall intercepts that are not in the current resource shells, and to evaluate a gap for continuity in high-grade resource shells. Nutaaq Trend: Drilling to expand satellite resource at Gnu deposit Gnu deposit resource occurs on the east Ulu Fold limb, less than 1 km from the Flood deposit.

The IP survey will be expanded to refine targets on the southern extension of the Gnu deposit. Drilling will follow up on these targets, and will also assess prospective areas to the north to confirm high-grade continuity of structures not yet in the current mineral resource. Central Zone: 3D IP survey to refine target followed by drilling: Structural interpretation is coincident with a long-mineralized interval in hole DD22-CEN-C-002 (40 metres of 0.73 g/t gold including 5.42 metres of 1.35 g/t gold).

The Flood deposit-style mineralization in this intercept is thought to dip parallel to the main deposit and is open at depth. Zebra: Large target area measuring 500 metres x 500 metres comprised of tightly folded gabbro, basalt and metasediments with alteration focussed in the fold hinge along high competency contacts: Previous intercepts in the area include 1.2 metres of 20.69 g/t gold, 2.5 metres of 8.31 g/t gold and 3.6 metres of 3.64 g/t gold, all of which were focused on the limb parallel features and not the prospective fold hinge areas. Roma HI01: Historical drilling (two holes) intercepted VMS alteration but did not test the best surface sampled area nor the north plunge vector: Drone magnetics to assist mapping and prospecting, and ground electromagnetics (EM) to define a conductor.

Drilling will assess the best conductor and the massive sphalerite zone sampled at surface. Roma North Zone: A prospecting/alteration sampling campaign along with ground-based EM survey will define a target located ~1500 metres north of and in the same stratigraphy as the High Lake VMS Deposit North Zone: A notable carbonate marker horizon is providing additional guidance. Drilling will be based on the geophysical survey results.

Roma Marble Fold: Southern extension of the same High Lake Deposit stratigraphy as the North Zone: Mapping, prospecting, and alteration sampling along a historical airborne EM conductor is planned. The carbonate marker horizon will provide guidance. Ground-based EM will be used to outline the conductor, with drilling to follow.
