[{"type":"text","content":"Blue Star Gold's Ataani Discovery Returns 7.20 Metres of 1.145% CuEq within 26.9 Metres of 0.576% CuEq Massive Sulphide ZoneVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 24, 2024) - Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAU) (OTCQB: BAUFF) (FSE: 5WP0) (\"Blue Star\" or the \"Company\") provides an update on the critical mineral component of its 2024 exploration program on the Roma Project in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut (Figure 1). This news release provides additional details from follow-up drilling on the Ataani discovery, with results from the second and third drill holes of a 1,365 metre program. Highlights Second Ataani drill hole, DD24-HI01-002, returns 7.20 metres of 1.145% copper equivalent (\"CuEq\")Or 7.20 metres of 0.906% Cu, 0.027% Zn, 0.002% Pb, 0.125 g/t Au and 20.066 g/t AgWithin 26.9 metres of 0.413% Cu, 0.035% Zn, 0.004% Pb, 0.104 g/t Au and 10.929 g/t Ag in stringer to massive sulphide zone (or 0.576% CuEq over 26.9 metres)DD24-HI01-003 intersected 1.7 metres of 0.880% CuEq Or 1.7 metres of 0.676% Cu, 0.223% Zn, 0.107 g/t Au and 8.127 g/t AgGrant Ewing, CEO of Blue Star, stated, \"The wide section of stringer to massive sulphide mineralization intersected in the second Ataani hole downdip from the first hole is encouraging and suggests the potential for a large system in the area. These types of deposits tend to have multiple lenses and occur in clusters and only a small portion of the property has been assessed to date. Being proximal to the proposed Grays Bay Road (within ~6 km) and the High Lake VMS Deposit (~12 km) is another excellent attribute of the Ataani discovery.\"Discussion of Results An initial program of Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (\"EM\") surveying was completed in the northern portion of the HI01 claim (Figure 1) resulting in a 320 metre by 100 metre EM plate representing a zone of strong conductivity located 180 metres below surface (Figure 2). A drill program of five holes for 1,365 metres was undertaken with the first hole intersecting 17.1 metres of 0.973% copper equivalent from a zone of stringer to massive sulphides as previously released (Newsfile Corp. - September 5, 2024). The second and third holes into the Ataani Target were drilled from the same drill set up as the first hole, testing down dip from the initial massive sulphide discovery. Both holes intersected stringer to massive...
