[{"type":"text","content":"Blue Star Acquires Historical Dataset and Confirms Cu-Rich VMS Mineralization at Sand Lake ProspectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 21, 2026) - Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAU) (OTCQB: BAUFF) (FSE: 5WP0) (\"Blue Star\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the acquisition of a substantial historical dataset covering the Sand Lake prospect within the Roma Project. The dataset includes ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys, borehole EM data, and geological information from historical drilling that intersected stringer to massive sulphide mineralization associated with a copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system.The Sand Lake target is located approximately 12 kilometres north of the High Lake VMS deposits within the same volcanic stratigraphy of the High Lake Belt, West Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut (Figure 1). The area is located less than one kilometre from the proposed road route of the Grays Bay Road and Port Project, part of the Arctic Security Corridor proposed to connect Yellowknife, NT to the Arctic coast. In March, Prime Minister Carney referred the proposed Project to the federal Major Projects Office (West Kitikmeot Resources news release dated March 12, 2026). The Office was created to fast-track infrastructure projects that are deemed to be of national importance.HighlightsAcquisition of extensive historical dataset includes five ground EM surveys (UTEM and PROTEM), borehole EM from 17 drill holes, and geological & geochemical data from 29 historical drill holes Best historical intercepts of 21 metres of 2.71% copper and 6.3 metres of 5.28% copper (Table 1) Mineralized horizon interpreted to extend ~530 metres along strike Reported mineralisation includes copper, zinc and precious metals 3D plate modelling of historical EM conductors to refine exploration targets is underway\"The Sand Lake dataset provides a strong foundation for advancing a copper-rich VMS system with clear indications of scale,\" said Grant Ewing, CEO of Blue Star. \"We are prioritizing the integration of electromagnetic and mineralization data through 3D modelling to better define the system's geometry and support targeted follow-up drilling. The Company believes the project has the potential to complement its existing high-grade gold resource while also indicating the presence of a broader, camp-scale VMS system...
