Blue Star Gold (TSXV: BAU; OTCQB: BAUFF) has announced a new base metal discovery on its Roma project in Nunavut’s Kitikmeot region.
The exploration program highlights include Blue Star Gold’s first exploration program for critical minerals in the High Lake greenstone belt. The initial drill hole at the HI volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) target intercepted a 17.1-metre interval of semi-to-massive sulphide mineralization, with assay results pending. Follow-up drilling is underway to further explore the target zone.
“Due to the abundance of mineral showings throughout our prospective landholdings, the current exploration program is assessing both critical mineral and gold targets. The first drill hole on the HI target has potentially resulted in an exciting new base metal discovery. Our team is very encouraged by similarities in the drill core to MMG’s High Lake deposit, located about 12 km to the south,” said CEO of Blue Star Grant Ewing. “Follow up drilling is underway, and we look forward to assay results which are expected in August. The proposed Grays Bay road, a major infrastructure development in Nunavut that is currently undergoing permitting, is located only six kilometres to the east of the HI discovery.”
The 2024 drilling program continues at the HI discovery and gold targets on the Ulu project. Next steps include assessing targets in the Flood zone area, and the central and Zebra zones. So far, about 1,725 metres of the planned drilling have been completed.
The project includes a proposed deepwater port on Coronation Gulf and a road connecting Nunavut to the Northwest Territories.
