Blue Star Gold – Executive Summary
4
- Blue Star Gold (“Blue Star Gold” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage
company focused on high-grade gold projects in Nunavut Territory in northern Canada
- The Company owns the highly prospective Hood River Property
- The Company is in the process of exercising it option to acquire the high-grade Ulu
Gold Project
- Blue Star Gold has estimated the Ulu Gold Project hosts high-grade resources of
- ver 830,000 gold (“Au”) ounces (605,000 oz – Measured and Indicated) with
excellent potential for resource growth in multiple targets
Blue Star Gold – Property Location
5
- Hood and Ulu are located
approximately 530 kilometres (“km”) north-northeast of
- Yellowknife. The properties are
approximately 45 km north of the Arctic Circle.
- Principal gold zones hosted within
greenstones that are within the Archean-aged High Lake Volcanic Belt (HLVB) in the northern part of the Slave Structural Province.
- In addition, Hood and Ulu are
located directly on Phase 1 of the proposed Grays Bay Road Project.

Blue Star Gold – Geology
7
- The Hood and Ulu properties
cover folded mafic volcanic and sedimentary rocks and a leucogranite plug (the “Peanut Intrusion”).
- The 5 km-long Ulu fold runs
through the Ulu mining lease north into the Hood Property and terminates on North Fold Nose gold zone.
- North Fold Nose is our primary
drill target where BHP intersected 25.5 g/t Au over 1.54 m.
- Gold zones are high-grade and
commonly bonanza-grade.
- Very little drilling outside the
resource area of the Ulu’s Flood & Gnu gold deposits.
Blue Star Gold – Hood Property
8
- Contiguous with Ulu mining lease on
north and east boundaries
- 100% ownership acquired through
purchase of Inukshuk Exploration Inc.
- Excellent potential for gold deposits in a
well-known but under-explored belt -
- nly 33 drill holes recorded
- 22 gold-bearing showings have been
identified on the Hood property
- Regional exploration programs
facilitated by proximity to the existing Ulu infrastructure
- Working agreement with the Nunavut
Tunngavik Incorporated for relationship through to production
