[{"type":"text","content":"Blue Star Announces Exploration Results, Advances Pipeline ShowingsVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2024) - Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAU) (OTCQB: BAUFF) (FSE: 5WP0) (\"Blue Star\" or the \"Company\") provides an update on the 2024 exploration program at its Ulu Gold Project and Roma Project in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut (Figure 1). Approximately 4,000 metres of drilling have been completed with initial assays expected in the coming weeks. Sample results from the early season field-based prospecting program are presented below.Highlights16 diamond drill holes for ~4,000 metres across five main target areas have been completed, including:HI, Mikigon, Penthouse, Gnu Zone (Nutaaq), and the Flood ZoneAssays pendingPipeline showing evaluation results from Cygnet (Roma) returned strong gold values including 13.5 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\") and 56.5 g/t AuSampling at Gabbro Breccia (Ulu Gold Project) returned 16.0 g/t Au and 8.49 g/t AuRoma Main zone extended another 300 metres to the southeast to over 800 metres of strike lengthPipeline showings along Snofield Lake (Roma) returned 6.21 g/t Au, 3.67 g/t Au, 497 g/t silver and 5.3% leadHighlights of the Prospecting ProgramA review of the Cygnet Target (Roma Project) focussed on the NE geological trend where inferred cross structures from geophysical interpretation complicated the geology. The best samples occurred within the mafic volcanic rock package immediately below the contact with sedimentary rock units; small volume intrusions may play a role in the mineralisation in this area. Of the 38 samples collected two samples were > 10 g/t Au, five samples > 5 g/t Au, and seven samples were > 1 g/t Au. The next steps for this target will include more detailed mapping and sampling along the trend to potentially advance to drill-ready status.Prospecting along the Roma Main Target (Roma Project) extended the known mineralised trend 300 metres to the southeast. Highlights of the sampling program from parallel vein structures to the main zone returned 40.9 g/t Au, 15.7 g/t Au, and 6.5 g/t Au. Roma Main is now a high-priority target for drill testing in future programs.An initial review of the Snofield Lake Target included collecting 14 samples over a 5.5-kilometre trend. Highlights of the sampling program include 4.87% zinc (\"Zn\") and 8.6 g/t si...
