Executive Summary

  • Blue Star Gold Corp. reported high‑grade surface gold intercepts at the Auma prospect, including two samples of 151 g/t Au and 125 g/t Au, extending Zone 3 by 35 m to a total strike length of ~130 m.
  • 133 rock chip samples were collected; 33% returned >1 g/t Au and 14% returned >5 g/t Au, with notable copper‑gold mineralization at the “Penny Lane” prospect (7.64 g/t Au, 4.2 % Cu).
  • The company plans a 2026 drill program to test these targets, citing proximity to a proposed access road and pending SkyTEM EM/magnetic survey results.

Key Details

  • High‑grade surface samples:
  • Sample 1: 151 g/t Au

  • Sample 2: 125 g/t Au – together extend high‑grade Zone 3 by 35 m southward (total strike ≈130 m, undrilled).

  • Sampling statistics:

  • Total samples collected: 133
  • Samples >1 g/t Au: 44 (33%)

  • Samples >5 g/t Au: 18 (14%)

  • Penny Lane prospect:

  • Sample H504682: 7.64 g/t Au, 4.2 % Cu (also elevated Ag).

  • Additional high‑grade finds:

  • Gold grades up to 35.3 g/t Au detected as far as 1.4 km from the original showing.

  • Geophysical work:

  • SkyTEM heliborne EM & magnetic survey completed – 89 line‑km covering 614 ha; results pending.

  • Next steps / drill program:

  • Revised geological map and targeting model to be produced using chip sampling, lithogeochemical data, and SkyTEM results.

  • Auma prospect deemed “drill ready” for a robust 2026 exploration drilling campaign.

  • QA/QC procedures:

  • Samples chain‑of‑custody to ALS Geochemistry (Yellowknife) → ALS Canada Inc. (North Vancouver).

  • Analytical codes: PREP-31 (prep), Au‑AA26 (fire assay + AA finish), ME‑MS61 (ICP‑MS); >10 g/t Au re‑analyzed under Au‑GRA22.

  • Qualified person: Darren Lindsay, P.Geo., Vice‑President of Exploration, NI 43‑101 qualified.

Notable Quotes

“The expanded Auma prospect is a very encouraging addition to our exploration target pipeline… The high‑grade gold grabs at surface, along with visible gold and numerous untested geophysical anomalies, suggest that we may be on the verge of something significant.” – Grant Ewing, CEO, Blue Star Gold Corp.
