Blue Star Gold Provides Additional Exploration Results
showings in the 'target pipeline' were reviewed, prospected, and mapped. Approximately 50% of the program samples are pending laboratory results, most of which are rock and soil samples. The Central Zone target area is comprised of three inferred sub-parallel calc-silicate altered and locally mineralised structures traced intermittently on surface for up to 2,000 metres. One zone, Central-C, was chosen for additional drilling this season due to its proximity to the Flood Zone, the strong alteration present, and the down dip continuity determined from previous drilling. Drilling indicates a potential change in orientation of the structure parallel to the Flood Zone, a more favourable orientation for mineral development. A final drill hole at the Gnu (Nutaaq) Zone, DD22-IGU-001A is reported that was evaluating a blind vein intersected in DD22-MIQ-001 earlier in the season which returned 0.68 m of 1.06 g/t gold. DD22-CEN-001 returned no significant intercepts although the target was intersected as an 11-metre- wide section of calc-silicate alteration with intervals of silicification and low abundances of acicular
arsenopyrite. The drillhole cut a series of basalt flows with a significant fault that was logged above the target horizon. DD22-CEN-002, returned an open 40.24 m wide moderately to strongly altered interval containing 0.73 g/t gold starting at 126.76 metres downhole, including 2.49 m of 2.70 g/t gold and 5.42 m of 1.35 g/t gold. The drill hole intersected basalt flows with an interval of interflow sediment located between 105.48 to 109.76 m. Two sections of weak irregular calc-silicate alteration were logged, with both returning anomalous levels of gold mineralisation associated with sections of stronger alteration, silicification and abundances of fine acicular arsenopyrite up to 2-3%. DD22-CEN-003 intersected 4.24 g/t gold over 2.5 m, including 5.59 g/t over 1.59 m starting at 112.29 m
downhole. The hole was drilled through basalt flows and gabbro. A 6 cm wide interval of strong fault gouge was noted in the drillhole at approximately 52 m. The targeted acicular arsenopyrite zone (107 - 115 m) contains two sections of strongly strained, altered and silicified basalt hosting pyrite and pyrrhotite and 1% acicular arsenopyrite at the start of the interval and up to 7% acicular arsenopyrite in the lower portion of the interval, which returned the best gold values.
DD22-CEN-004 was drilled to test a historical drill hole (90VD83; 1.09 m of 27.49 g/t gold). The hole intersected basalt flows and two quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes. Two fault gouge zones were also intersected. Two intercepts of interest, 0.39 m of 1.31 g/t gold and 0.99 m of 1.26 g/t gold, are associated with silicified sections of calc-silicate altered rock with trace to 2% pyrite and pyrrhotite and small clusters of fine acicular arsenopyrite.
