Blue Star Gold's Ataani Discovery Returns 7.20 Metres of 1.145% CuEq within 26.9 Metres of 0.576% CuEq Massive Sulphide Zone
24 September 2024
Vancouver, 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 Ag
- Within 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 Ag
Grant 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."
