Blue Star expands Roma project

Executive Summary

• Blue Star Gold Corp. has expanded its Roma project land position to include the Sand Lake prospect, a copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) target.
• The acquisition adds ground with significant historical drill results, including high-grade copper intercepts, and provides existing infrastructure assets including an airstrip and proximity to the proposed Grays Bay Road.
• The company plans to incorporate Sand Lake into its 2026 exploration program, focusing on geological mapping, geophysics, and target refinement.

Key Details

• Acquisition Scope: The newly acquired ground covers the Sand Lake prospect, located approximately 5 km east of the Ataani VMS lens discovery and 15 km north of the High Lake VMS deposit.
• Historical Drill Results: Previous drilling intersected:
  • 21 metres averaging 2.71% copper (Cu).
  • 15 metres of 3.29% Cu in stringer-style mineralization typical of VMS feeder zones.
  • A greater than 10 metre wide zinc-rich zone on the northernmost Sand Lake drill section.
• Geological Context: The prospect is characterized by chlorite alteration and dalmatianite, typical of stringer or feeder zones in VMS systems. It may represent part of the broader High Lake VMS camp or a new mineralized centre.
• Infrastructure: The tenure includes an existing ~400 m sand airstrip on a flat glaciofluvial plain. It lies approximately 1 km from the proposed Grays Bay Road.
• Operational Plans: Sand Lake will be included in the 2026 exploration program, which entails geological mapping, prospecting, ground geophysics, and target refinement for potential follow-up drilling.
• Data Status: The company is currently recovering and compiling historical data; drill intervals and quality control programs have not yet been reviewed by a qualified person.

Notable Quotes

• "Adding the Sand Lake prospect is a strategic step that strengthens both our critical mineral portfolio and our logistical footprint in the region," stated Grant Ewing, chief executive officer of Blue Star Gold. "The combination of high-grade copper results, excellent geological potential and existing infrastructure gives us a strong foundation to advance exploration and evaluate the broader mineral potential of the area."
