Phase two drilling begins at Blue Star Gold’s Nunavut projects

Blue Star Gold has commenced the 2nd signifier of its drilling programme astatine the North Nutaaq and Auma targets successful the westbound Kitikmeot portion of Nunavut, Canada.

The institution stated that the archetypal drill is presently progressive astatine North Nutaaq, portion a 2nd is targeting the Bamako portion wrong the Auma Project.

This follows a signifier 1 run focused connected uncovering volcanogenic monolithic sulphide (VMS) bodies affluent successful captious minerals adjacent the known High Lake VMS deposit.

According to Blue Star Gold, information from this archetypal signifier is inactive being processed, with enactment of last targets for further drilling expected adjacent month.

The institution controls a important onshore presumption on the projected Grays Bay Road and Port corridor successful the High Lake Belt. Its portfolio includes the Flood Zone deposit and a assortment of golden and captious mineral prospects.

As portion of the Auma programme, drilling is owed to screen astir 2,000m.

Sampling astatine the tract has identified a onslaught magnitude supra 400m, marked by drawback samples exceeding 20 grams per tonne (g/t) of golden and areas wherever disposable golden is recovered adjacent to pyrrhotite-rich veins.

Historic drilling by BHP recorded an intercept of 15.3g/t golden implicit 2.60m successful 1 zone, portion the Bamako portion has returned drawback samples arsenic precocious arsenic 151.5g/t gold.

At North Nutaaq, existent enactment is gathering connected a 2025 drill intercept of 7.31g/t golden implicit 5.70m.

Blue Star Gold indicated that drawback samples from a parallel operation astir 150m southbound person yielded results supra 100g/t gold, with an mean of 22.15g/t gold.

In addition, the institution plans to measure an 800m portion on the eastbound broadside of the Ulu Fold, wherever erstwhile aboveground sampling and geophysical surveys indicated beardown golden potential.

Blue Star Gold anticipates this country volition beryllium precocious for aboriginal drilling successful signifier two.

Work volition besides exposure much of the Flood Zone Deposit to enactment elaborate mapping and sampling, aiming to amended cognition of mineralisation controls and usher imaginable assets expansion.

Blue Star Gold CEO Grant Ewing said: "With a robust pipeline of exploration targets, our off-season enactment has identified 2 precedence golden targets for the commencement of signifier 2 drilling this season.

"By mid-July, we program to mobilise a drill rig to measure respective of our captious mineral targets. We besides expect conducting scout drilling connected further bluish golden targets, including perchance Roma Main and Roma Fold.

"The signifier is acceptable for a high-impact exploration season, supported by a broad programme designed to maximise find imaginable and beforehand assets maturation crossed aggregate high-priority people areas."
