(TSXV: BAU) (OTCQB: BAUFF) (FSE: 5WP0) (\"Blue Star\" or the \"Company\") provides an update on drill holes evaluating a recently interpreted shallow dipping structure in the Flood Zone hanging wall and the initial drill evaluation of the Mikigon prospect from its 2024 exploration program on the Ulu Gold Project in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut (Figure 1). Highlights Targeted Flood Zone structure returns 3.66 metres of 8.46 g/t Au including 1.00 metre of 15.25 g/t AuExtended Flood Zone with drillhole intercepts of 9.61 metres of 1.83 g/t Au including 1.36 metres of 3.66 g/t Au, and 3.22 metres of 7.52 g/t Au including 2.01 metres of 10.38 g/t Au in a 30-metre step-out from the existing resource modelMikigon drilling indicates a pathfinder halo for the system that includes 1+ g/t Au intervals associated with quartz veining, arsenopyrite and elevated bismuth and tellurium valuesGrant Ewing, CEO of Blue Star, stated, \"New ideas targeting around the Flood Zone have resulted in some strong mineralization to add to our resource model with both the extension of the existing model and a new model for a hanging wall zone. The Company conducted its first pass limited drill program testing the Mikigon target that returned low grades however we now have drill core data to work with to potentially lead to a discovery at this intriguing target.\"Discussion of ResultsFlood Zone:Two drill holes were drilled to test an interpreted flat vein structure in the hanging wall of the Flood Zone identified by ALS-GoldSpot's 2023 review of the Ulu Gold Deposit. A total of 717 metres was completed in the two drill holes evaluating the inferred structure targeting an average depth of 263 metres. Both drill holes intercepted the inferred structure. These intercepts along with previous drill holes will define a new mineralization zone for the Flood Zone resource model.
