Ongoing Field Activities

  • Detailed mapping and sampling of targets within 1,000 metres of the Flood Zone deposit including
    • The Flood Zone near surface, the North Flood Zone, the Central South target, Nutaaq and Nutaaq North targets, South-Twilight target and Axis target
  • Exposure of surface Flood Zone mineralisation for detailed structural mapping and sampling
  • Supports potential extension of the current mineral resource to surface
  • Ground-based electromagnetic surveying using the Loupe-EM system (East Limb, Gabbro Breccia, West Lake, Contact, Bizen, and North Fold Nose)
  • Lithogeochemical surveys to further define detailed stratigraphy and potential structural controls in key target areas
  • Visible gold observed in untested veins at the Nutaaq target (Plate 1)

"The field team has been deployed to build additional confidence on our drill-ready targets as well as to advance additional targets to the drill-ready stage," said Grant Ewing, CEO of Blue Star. "The initial focus will be on the high-impact gold targets in the vicinity of the Flood Zone deposit, and will then move outwards to high-impact gold and critical mineral targets within Blue Star's land package and along the proposed Grays Bay road corridor. Detailed planning for Phase 2 of the exploration program is underway. We are looking forward to continuing to advance our highly prospective properties to evaluate their full potential."
