Blue Star Gold Corp. announced that it has commenced the drilling component of its active exploration program at the Ulu and Roma Projects in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut. Highlights: Two diamond drills have arrived on site and have been mobilized to the first drill targets Ulu Gold Project.

Target refinement of priority gold drill targets: Final inversion of the Mikigon induced polarization data have been received for all pole-dipole lines indicating the coincident magnetics, geochemical and IP anomaly continues under glacial-fluvial cover to the north-northwest of the mapped and sampled target. Mikigon lies 3.5 km NE of the high-grade Flood Zone deposit. Final IP inversion and model received for the Nutaaq Trend indicating known mineralization is associated with edges of chargeability anomalies supporting targeting to the SE and NW of the known Gnu deposit.

Roma Project. Field sampling results: Auma Prospect: 31.7, 30.4 and 20.1 gram per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") from historical Zone 3. Zone 1 was extended to over 250 metres in length with samples returning 20.1 g/t Au and 6.22 g/t Au; numerous additional multi-gram samples were returned from unsampled alteration trends including a 7.7 g/t Au sample on a parallel trend to Zone 1. Depth to the top of the modeled plate is 180 metres. This modelled conductor is located down dip and down plunge of historical drilling and known massive sulphide intersections.

Exploration Program Progress and Next Steps. The 2024 exploration program is now transitioning from surface work to drilling. One drill will initially be allocated to testing the Mikigon target with the second drill allocated to evaluating high priority critical mineral targets.

Numerous targets will be drill tested during the 4,000 metre program, including: Discovery focused drilling on key high potential targets (i.e. Mikigon, HI01, Central) Evaluation of targets within the Nutaaq Zone corridor (host to Gnu deposit) to expand resources; Select infill and expansion drilling of known resources (Flood Zone deposit area); A total of 31 line-kilometres ("kms") of IP surveying was completed by Aurora Geosciences Ltd. of Yellowknife, 40 line-kms of Loupe Time-Domain EM ("TDEM") surveying was completed by Apex Geoscience Consultants Ltd. of Edmonton, and six fixed-loops with 55 line-kms of fixed-loop EM surveying were completed by Initial Exploration Services of Yellowknife. Final data for the Mikigon IP survey and preliminary data from the Nutaaq IP survey have been received and are being used to finalise drill targets. Final processing of the HI01 fixed-loop EM grid has been received with the drill targets now finalised.

Also, the third chargeability anomaly has not been previously tested and occurs down dip from the surface exposure of the Alone vein, a 250metre-long structure locally hosting polymetallic vein mineralisation. The new geophysical model will be utilized to further refine drill targets to evaluate this highly prospective corridor. Chill-Juno (Roma): Additional samples are pending.

This is a new discovery and will require additional field work including detailed mapping and geophysics to bring it to drill readiness.oma Main (Roma): This is a historical showing with ten short gopher holes, nine of which intersected gold mineralisation with a standout intercept in the northern most hole of 12.38 g/t Au over 2.31 metres (BHP 91MD-01). The QAQC program for prospecting consists of regular insertion of certified reference materials (CRMs) resulting in a 20% insertion rate.
