2022-06-25 00:28:22 By : Ms. Anna Zou

Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAU) (FSE: 5WP0) (OTCQB: BAUFF) ("Blue Star" or the "Company") announces that its drill program has commenced, with the first drill hole on the Flood Zone now completed. The exploration program consists of a multi-prong approach including airborne and ground geophysics, regional geochemical sampling, prospecting, and mapping, and a focused diamond drilling program. The work program will be carried out across the Company's Ulu, Hood River, and Roma projects with two key focuses: infill and expansion drilling, and pipeline target review and development throughout the prospective landholdings.

Blue Star is the largest title holder in the highly prospective and underexplored High Lake Greenstone Belt in Nunavut, controlling +45 km of the Belt. The Company holds a 100% interest in three projects including the Ulu Gold project, the contiguous Hood River project, and the Roma project. The Ulu project hosts the Flood Zone deposit, where a significant high-grade gold resource has been outlined.

Blue Star's CEO, Grant Ewing, commented, "The launch of our 2022 exploration program has been executed very efficiently. The multi-prong program will entail drill testing several high priority targets close to the Flood Zone deposit and progressively advance the extensive pipeline of targets throughout our landholdings. The initial drill holes will test potential extensions to the Flood Zone deposit followed by testing targets in the Gnu Zone area where a new high-grade vein system was discovered by Blue Star in 2021."

Exploration Program Summary The first drill hole on the Flood Zone, DD22-FLO-001, has been completed following up on a shallow open intersection (96UL-28 graded 6.02 g/t over 8.35 m from 15 m downhole); the drill hole was shutdown in mineralisation. DD22-FLO-001 intersected variably mineralised zones between 4.65 m and 17.00 m. The drill is now collared on the second site that will evaluate the geometry of the basalt-sediment contact in an area hosting previous intercepts of 6.66 g/t over 5.09 m, 10.21 g/t over 11.11 m and 7.29 g/t over 9.28 m (04UL-02, 04UL-32 and 89VD-20 respectively, all intervals are true width). A minimum 2,500 metre drill program will be conducted during the exploration campaign focused on resource expansion and high priority target evaluation.

Ground geophysical surveying using a walking magnetics and VLF-EM system has covered the known vein structures at the Gnu Zone and extensions to prospective stratigraphy inferred to have potential to host similar structures. Targets are the recently discovered Gnu Zone polymetallic vein that returned 5.34 m of 3.7 g/t in drill hole 21BSG020 and 8.15 m of 20.8 g/t in drill hole 21BSG007, and similar blind mineralized structures. Additional geophysical grids are also planned as part of the target review process to determine if this type of survey can refine drill targeting at other showings.

Precision GeoSurveys Inc. ("Precision") has been engaged to undertake a comprehensive high resolution heli-borne geophysical survey utilizing Precision's proprietary four-sensor magnetic gradient system to refine the structure, lithology, and alteration prior to mapping and prospecting programs. The geophysical program for 2022 covers the entire Roma landholdings, and the entire Ulu lease and Hood River concession that had not been previously flown and is currently 90% complete (~2,750 km of 3,055-line kms).

Blue Star Gold's Projects The Company's properties are located approximately 525 km NNE of Yellowknife, NT in the Kitikmeot region of western Nunavut. Kugluktuk is approximately 210 km to the NW. The Roma property lies approximately 30 km north of the Ulu-Hood River property. The total area of Blue Star's projects cover +45 km of the highly prospective and underexplored High Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Ulu lease and the contiguous Hood River property together encompass greater than 12,000 hectares of highly prospective exploration ground. The recent acquisition of the prospective and underexplored Roma property that lies approximately 30 km north increased the Company's landholdings by more than 14,000 hectares in the High Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Ulu lease hosts the advanced stage Flood Zone gold deposit, where a significant high-grade gold resource has been outlined. Several additional gold prospects (including, but not limited to, Zebra, Contact, Central, Axis, and Gnu) are spatially related to the axis of the 5 km long Ulu Fold, which extends from the Ulu lease onto the northern part of the Hood River property and culminates at the North Fold Nose Zone. The recent expansion of the Hood River concession added several new target zones south of the Flood Zone gold deposit. The eastern side of the Hood River property is contiguous to the Ulu lease, and hosts over twenty known gold showings. The Hood River prospects have the same deformation history (including tight folding) as well as similar mineralization styles (acicular arsenopyrite and polymetallic quartz veins) and stratigraphic sequences as the Flood Zone. One of the most prospective target areas on the eastern Hood River property is the 4 km long Crown-Pro trend which has seen only limited drilling.

The Roma project lies in the northern section of the High Lake Greenstone Belt. The project covers high grade gold showings discovered by previous explorers, notably BHP Minerals from 1988 to 1994. Multiple significant gold showings are present within a 6.5 km x 2.4 km area on the historic Roma claim block. The original showing is a 0.30 to 3.0 m wide quartz vein exposed in outcrop and boulders for 2.0 km. In 1991, BHP drilled 10 shallow holes totalling 465 metres to test 1.72 km of strike of the vein. All drill holes intersected quartz veins from 15 m to 37 m vertically below surface. Visible gold was noted in three of the drillholes and the best results were 12.38 g/t Au over 2.31 m (including 64.0 g/t Au over 0.37 m) from DDH MD-01, and 8.69 g/t Au over 1.87 m from MD-03. No drilling was conducted downdip of the high-grade intersection in DDH MD-01 and no step out drilling to the north from this intercept was conducted. No follow up drilling is known to have been completed on this property since BHP's initial drill program in the 1990's. The Company has not verified the historical results from the Roma property and has presented information obtained from two assessment reports submitted by BHP Minerals Canada Ltd.; McMaster, G., (1995). Roma 3,4,5 and 6 Claims 1995 Geological and Geochemical Report, and Anonby, L. and Jopson, W., (1992). Geological, Geochemical, Geophysical and Drilling Report on the Roma 1 and 2 Claims.

The site of the future deep-water port at Grays Bay is 40 - 100 km to the north of the properties, and the proposed route corridor for the all-weather Grays Bay road passes in close proximity to the Roma, Ulu, and Hood River projects.

Nunavut, Canada's easternmost territory, was a marvel of natural resources and investment opportunities long before its split from the Northwest Territories in 1999. Since then, the territory has seen a mining and economic boom that many new, modern states rarely see. Mineral exploration investment has increased five-fold and Nunavut is now the northern leader in exploration investment.

On the global stage, Nunavut ranks within the best 30 jurisdictions worldwide based on the geologic attractiveness and government policies in support of exploration. The territory hosts a perfect storm of investor interest and several highly prospective precious minerals projects, including an operational diamond mine and permitting-stage gold projects.

Blue Star Gold (TSXV: BAU, FSE: 5WP0, OTCQB: BAUFF) is an exploration and development company focused on high-grade gold and silver projects in Nunavut. The company delivers a significant opportunity for value creation based on its highly prospective precious metal assets and resource growth potential. Blue Star's experienced and skilled team primes the company for success in mining endeavors and strong relationship formation with regulatory bodies and local communities.

Nunavut boasts a politically stable and mining-friendly jurisdiction. Over several decades, the territory has built significant investor relations in the natural resource sector and hosts some of the lowest capital, small business and corporate taxes in the country. These conditions strategically position Blue Star Gold for fast-tracked development and provide the excellent potential for resource expansion and future advanced drilling campaigns.

The company currently has two contiguous gold projects in operation, its flagship Ulu gold project and Hood River property. The Ulu gold project hosts an extensive high-grade gold resource that Blue Star intends on expanding in the future. New discoveries on this core asset also demonstrate high-quality mine transformation potential.

Ulu's main deposit called Flood Zone has approximately 605,000 ounces of gold measured and indicated at grades of 7.5 g/t gold over 2.5 million tonnes. Further inferred resources show an additional 226,000 ounces of gold at 5.57 g/t over 1.26 million tonnes.

The Hood River property is relatively unexplored but poses an exciting opportunity for precious metal discovery. Historic work from neighboring projects forecast promising gold yield, which has since been supported by high-grade surface samples on numerous showings on the property. Blue Star currently has over 20 gold drill targets identified for future resource growth.

When asked about immediate plans for the next 12 months, Blue Star Gold CEO Grant Ewing discussed advanced technological data collection and analysis. “We've had several generations of work, but no one has really put the data altogether. So that's the first step we've undertaken with this Ulu project." This foundational step would create an in-depth geological scaling model of the property compiled in a state-of-the-art GIS database.

Much of Blue Star's success can be attributed to its very supportive shareholder base and strong management team. Combining expertise from geological, exploration and financial sectors, the management and technical team primes the company for significant growth.

With a core gold asset and another very high-quality exploration project, the company has a clean focus that prioritizes development and stakeholder interests.

The Ulu property covers an area of 947 hectares approximately 523 kilometers north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and within the Kitikmeot Settlement Area of Nunavut. The project site is accessible via fixed-wing aircraft or seasonal ice road and benefits from local infrastructure, including telecommunications, administrative and housing structures.

The property's main deposit, the Flood Zone, is a northwest-trending, shear hosted anastomosing vein/alteration system. A 2020 exploration program reported gold assay results that measured 14.95 g/t gold over 13.8 meters (upper zone) and 9.65 g/t gold over 6.0 meters (lower zone). Additionally, the secondary Gnu Zone deposit has seen partial drilling exposure of its inferred 66,000 ounce gold resource and it is open for expansion with numerous proximal targets.

In 2020, Blue Star conducted a significant diamond drilling program at its Ulu and Hood River properties. The operation included 7,624 meters of drilling over 38 diamond drilling holes.

Future plans include an updated resource estimate, as well as exploration focused on expanding resources at the Flood and Gnu deposits. Past metallurgical tests indicate excellent gold recoveries, which poses exciting possible discoveries and economic prosperity in Blue Star Gold's future.

The Hood River property spans an 8,015 hectare area in Nunavut, Canada, and has a 20 year renewable Mineral Exploration Agreement (MEA) issued by Nunavut Tunngavik in June 2013. The property covers the southern portion of the High Lake Greenstone Belt, known for rich gold resources and structural characteristics similar to the prolific Red Lake Belt in Ontario.

Exploration of the property identified 26 mineralized showings spread across five main zones: North Fold Nose, Crown, Penthouse South, Penthouse North and Blackridge. A 2019 drilling and prospecting program reported significant mineral samples graded between 3.9 g/t gold and 31 g/t gold, the highest of which was at North Fold Nose.

The project's underexplored history presents investors with an entry-level opportunity for this high-quality project. Blue Star Gold plans to conduct further prospecting and sampling to identify and prioritize prospective gold targets.

Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAU) (FSE: 5WP0) (OTCQB: BAUFF) ("Blue Star" or the "Company") announces that it has mobilized its summer exploration program. The program will entail a multi-prong exploration effort across its Ulu, Hood River, and Roma projects with two key focuses: infill and expansion drilling, and pipeline target review and development throughout its highly prospective landholdings.

Blue Star's CEO, Grant Ewing, commented, "We are excited to launch our 2022 exploration campaign. Several high potential target areas will be assessed during the program as we work to make significant new discoveries throughout our prospective landholdings. The current program will build off the knowledge acquired in prior programs with respect to new mineralisation styles, potential geochemical and structural controls, as well as the systematic compilation of the targets in the historical dataset."

Blue Star has engaged Precision GeoSurveys Inc. ("Precision") of Langley, BC to undertake a comprehensive high resolution heli-borne geophysical survey utilizing Precision's proprietary four-sensor magnetic gradient system to refine the structure, lithology, and alteration prior to mapping and prospecting programs.

The geophysical program for 2022 is comprised of 1,690-line km at 50 - 100m line spacing over the entire Roma landholdings that were not covered in the 2021 survey, and 1,365-line km at 50 m line spacing over the entire Ulu lease and Hood River concession that was not previously flown in the 2021 survey.

In addition, the recently discovered Gnu zone polymetallic vein that returned 5.34 m of 3.7 g/t gold in drill hole 21BSG020 and 8.15 m of 20.8 g/t gold in drill hole 21BSG007 during the 2021 program will be evaluated further using a magnetics / VLF-EM system. Parallel structures within this 700 m x 150 m target area will also be assessed.

Blue Star has engaged NorthTech Drilling Ltd. ("NorthTech") of Yellowknife, NT to undertake the Company's drilling program focused on resource expansion and priority target evaluation. A balanced program of +3,000 m of infill, follow-up, and initial evaluation drilling is currently scheduled with opportunities to expand through the season.

Blue Star will also be undertaking a regional sampling program using Portable PPB Pty Ltd's detectORE™ patented low-level gold by pXRF technology in addition to traditional mapping and prospecting programs. These programs will focus on developing new targets on the Roma project and further defining high potential historical prospects from the target pipeline compilation on the Hood River concession and Ulu lease.

Blue Star Gold's Projects

The Company's properties are located approximately 525 km NNE of Yellowknife, NT in the Kitikmeot region of western Nunavut. Kugluktuk is approximately 210 km to the NW. The Roma property lies approximately 30 km north of the Ulu-Hood River property. The total area of Blue Star's projects cover +45 km of the highly prospective and underexplored High Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Ulu lease and the contiguous Hood River property together encompass greater than 12,000 hectares of high potential exploration ground. The recent acquisition of the prospective and underexplored Roma property that lies approximately 30 km north increased the Company's landholdings by more than 14,000 hectares in the High Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Ulu lease hosts the advanced stage Flood Zone gold deposit, where a significant high-grade gold resource has been outlined. Several additional gold prospects (including, but not limited to, Zebra, Contact, Central, Axis, and Gnu) are spatially related to the axis of the ~5 km long Ulu Fold, which extends from the Ulu lease onto the northern part of the Hood River property and culminates at the North Fold Nose Zone. The recent expansion of the Hood River concession added several new target zones south of the Flood Zone gold deposit. The eastern side of the Hood River property is contiguous to the Ulu lease, and hosts over twenty known gold showings. The Hood River prospects have the same deformation history (including tight folding) as well as similar mineralization styles (acicular arsenopyrite and polymetallic quartz veins) and stratigraphic sequences as the Flood Zone. One of the most prospective target areas on the eastern Hood River property is the 4 km long Crown-Pro trend which has seen only limited drilling.

The Roma project lies in the northern section of the High Lake Greenstone Belt. The project covers high grade gold showings discovered by previous explorers, notably BHP Minerals from 1988 to 1994. Multiple significant gold showings are present within a 6.5 km x 2.4 km area on the historic Roma claim block. The original showing is a 0.30 to 3.0 m wide quartz vein exposed in outcrop and boulders for 2.0 km. In 1991, BHP drilled ten shallow holes totalling 465 metres to test 1.72 km of the strike of the vein. All drill holes intersected quartz veins from 15 m to 37 m vertically below surface. Visible gold was noted in three of the drillholes and the best results were 12.38 g/t gold over 2.31 m (including 64.0 g/t gold over 0.37 m) from DDH MD-01, and 8.69 g/t gold over 1.87 m from MD-03. No drilling was conducted downdip of the high-grade intersection in DDH MD-01 and no step out drilling to the north from this intercept was conducted. No follow up drilling is known to have been completed on this property since BHP's initial drill program in the 1990's.

The site of the future deep-water port at Grays Bay is 40 - 100 km to the north of the properties, and the proposed route corridor for the all-weather Grays Bay road passes in close proximity to the Roma, Ulu, and Hood River projects.

Drill holes reported from 2021 had core samples cut by core saw with one half of the core retained and the other half sent for analysis. Samples were prepared by ALS Yellowknife-Geochemistry and analyzed at ALS Global, North Vancouver. Gold analysis was by fire assay using ALS code Au-AA26 and multielement analysis by code ME-MS61. Control samples include a crush duplicate every twenty samples; certified reference material was inserted once every ten samples. Reported assay intervals are uncapped, use a minimum 1 g/t gold assay cut off with the inclusion of up to 2 m of material below cut-off. True widths for all but the Flood Zone are not known due to lack of drilling and may range from 50% to 95% of drilled lengths. Historical intercepts reported from the Roma project have not yet been verified.

Based in Langley, B.C., Precision has the expertise and personnel to plan and execute a successful geophysical program. Precision has flown over five hundred surveys around the world since 2007 using innovative geophysical technologies.

Based in Yellowknife, NT, NorthTech is a family-owned and operated industrial drilling contractor specializing in providing reliable and professional diamond drilling services in the North. NorthTech has completed 150,000 meters of drilling since their inception in 2006.

Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAU) (FSE: 5WP0) (OTCQB: BAUFF) ("Blue Star" or the "Company") is pleased to provide all final outstanding results including surface samples, re-sampled historical drill core and drilling results from the 2021 exploration program at its Ulu Project located in the High Lake Greenstone Belt, Nunavut.

Highlights of the 2021 Drill Program:

CEO Grant Ewing commented, "Blue Star has numerous very prospective target zones throughout its extensive landholdings that have seen only limited modern-day exploration as most of the focus historically has been on delineating our high-grade Flood Zone gold deposit. The addition of the Roma project in 2021 and the discovery of a new vein system at the Gnu Zone, which represents a different style of gold mineralization from that of the Flood Zone deposit, adds to our potential for further new discoveries and resource growth. The 2021 exploration program successfully delivered several gold intersections in different zones on our projects and upgraded and expanded Blue Star's extensive target pipeline."

Mr. Ewing continued: "With the final release of the 2021 program assay data, we now have a better understanding of the geochemical and structural controls on our projects. We continue to unravel the structural architecture and develop improved targeting techniques, and the team is excited to test these concepts in our upcoming 2022 exploration program."

Blue Star initiated its 2021 exploration program in June with a geophysics campaign, followed by a drill campaign and a surface exploration program and successfully completed all phases of the program in September. The exploration campaign evaluated several high priority targets near the known high-grade Flood Zone gold deposit on the Ulu Project. Objectives of the 2021 program included better understanding the controls of higher-grade zones within the hosting structures, evaluating additional structures on and adjacent to the Ulu fold hinge, and defining additional targets for potential near-term discovery.

Summary The final results from the 2021 exploration program are summarized below. Drill results are from the Flood Zone, the NFN target, the Central Zone, and the Gnu area with a single aborted hole reported from the East Limb target. Also included are additional results from core sampling completed through alteration zones in historical core that were not sampled previously, and surface samples from the regional evaluation work.

The final drill hole testing the Flood Zone, 21BSG025, intersected the targeted near surface mineralization which returned 4.65 m of 5.80 g/t gold from 25 m. Additional samples were collected from historical drill core in the Flood Zone, including holes 04UL-02, 04UL-09, 92VD154, 92VD155, and 92VD165. The sampling in 04UL-02 was successful in expanding a mineralized interval by 6.15 m. The previously unsampled interval was between high-grade and low-grade lenses, and the sampling program resulted in a significant improvement in the overall interval. The revised continuous mineralized interval expanded to 26.35 m at 3.36 g/t gold including 7.45 m of 6.90 g/t gold. Sampling of 92VD165 expanded shoulder samples from a historic 12 g/t gold value; the previous interval was 5.8 m at 2.83 g/t gold. The revised interval is 8.80 m of 2.43 g/t gold including 1.55 m of 8.05 g/t gold.

Two drill holes were completed at the NFN Target to better model a section through the geology and mineralization. It appears the shallow dipping west limb of the folded target zone is thin and carries highly variable but generally lower gold grades than the more steeply dipping east limb and the inferred hinge zone. Hole 21BSG017 returned 2.05 m of 10.10 g/t gold.

Follow up drill holes to significant results in the Gnu Target Area included one hole to confirm the previously reported intercept in 21BSG007 (8.15 m of 20.8 g/t reported on Sept. 01, 2021). This drill hole, 21BSG020, returned an interval of multiphase veining with an assay result of 5.34 m of 3.72 g/t gold (approximate true with of 5 m) which includes an interval of polymetallic vein (1.60 m of 7.33 g/t gold) and an interval of quartz vein (1.94 m of 4.12 g/t gold). Two additional short holes evaluated a surface exposure of a multiphase, metre-scale quartz vein interpreted to be the possible extension of the vein in drillholes 21BSG007 and 21BSG020. Only one hole intersected the inferred structure with a narrow intercept of 0.95 m at 1.53 g/t gold. Hole 21BSG022 stepped eastward along the acicular target zone and returned a wide alteration zone of 5.18 m of 0.59 g/t gold containing an interval of interest of 1.00 m of 1.32 m g/t gold.

A single drill hole evaluated the inferred intersection of the Central and Axis zones; 21BSG018 returned no values of interest. One hole was set to evaluate the first target in the East Limb Zone but was aborted; drill hole 21BSG019 returned 0.94 m of 2.07 g/t gold in the hanging wall of the primary target zone before the hole was aborted due to mechanical problems with the drill rig.

Surface sampling from the Roma Project returned numerous anomalous grab samples from the Roma North, Roma Main and Roma Fold areas including 2.91 g/t and 12.60 g/t gold respectively (range of detection limit to 12.6 g/t gold). These are in addition to the previously reported till samples.

"Significant delays in laboratory turnaround times for all explorers impacted some "in the field" decisions; nonetheless, our 2021 results have clearly demonstrated some key areas to tighten up our drill spacing and the teams improving geological knowledge of the mineralizing system has added additional targets to our pipeline for the coming year. In addition, the expanded Hood River concession area pulls in solid targets like Twilight and the consolidation of Roma along the little explored Kennarctic Shear is expected to provide additional exciting news flow in 2022," commented Darren Lindsay, Vice President Exploration.

Hole 21BSG-025 is dominated by basalt, with several intervals of quartz-feldspar porphyry less than 1 m wide. Several anomalous gold intervals were intersected near the top of the hole (5.59 g/t gold from 18.00 - 19.44 m; 5.80 g/t gold over 4.65 m from 25.15 - 29.80 m; 9.18 g/t gold over 0.43 m from 38.35 - 38.78 m; 1.85 g/t gold over 0.87 m from 44.13 - 45.00 m) corresponding to mineralized planes within or slightly footwall to the Flood Zone. All zones correlate with increased As and variable Ti content of the basalt host rock (i.e. a change from high to low or low to high Ti across the interval that is anomalous in gold).

Several intervals in hole 04UL-02, which were not sampled when the hole was drilled 2004, were sent for assay based on modern sampling procedures. The intervals included the core between anomalously grading intervals. Samples that returned elevated gold have helped to define the continuous gold mineralization of the Flood Zone in this drillhole.

Broad alteration zones in 92VD154 and 92VD155 were sampled and returned weakly anomalous results. Unsampled material bracketing a 12 g/t gold interval in hole 92VD165 was sampled and resulted in an expansion of the anomalous interval from 5.8 m at 2.83 g/t gold to 8.80 m of 2.43 g/t gold. The gold found in these three drillholes lie in planes not currently modelled as part of the Flood Zone. This is encouraging as it indicates the potential for unrecognized, possibly subparallel planes of mineralization within and footwall to the existing modelled planes.

The polymetallic vein system at the Gnu zone is currently interpreted to consist of at least two subparallel north-northeast trending multiphase veins hosting gold +/- chalcopyrite +/- sphalerite +/- arsenopyrite. An unrelated acicular arsenopyrite-hosted gold system is oriented east-southeast.

The polymetallic vein system was tested with several drillholes throughout the 2021 drill program; results from 21BSG-020, 21BSG-021, 21BSG-023 and 21BSG-024 are reported here.

Hole 21BSG-020 intersected the easternmost polymetallic vein (quartz with 1% pyrrhotite and pyrite) at a depth of ~111 m (5.34 m at 3.72 g/t fold) which is ~30 m up-dip from the high-grade intercept reported previously in hole 21BSG-007 (8.15 m at 20.8 g/t gold), confirming the approximate true width of the zone. Visible gold was noted at 116.30 m. Hole 21BSG-021 intersected this plane 200 m along strike to the south, across a transition from gabbro to the north and mafic volcanics to the south. The moderately strained, strongly biotite and leucoxene altered gabbro hosts intervals of quartz veins and silicified rock with 1% blocky arsenopyrite, 2% pyrite and 2% pyrrhotite. 2 g/t gold is reported from 23.00 - 23.50 m.

Holes 21BSG-023 and 21BSG-024 returned weakly anomalous gold values and did not intersect the polymetallic veins but did contribute to understanding the geology of the area. Further drilling will focus on testing the strike extension of the known veins, while exploring for more subparallel veins in the system.

Hole 21BSG-022 tested the Gnu zone acicular arsenopyrite trend ~60 m to the east of the intersection at the bottom of hole 21BSG-007. A wide zone of alteration was intersected between ~124 m and 129 m, and returned an interval of 1.32 g/t gold over 1 m from 128.63 - 129.63 m. This interval is moderately strained, hosts quartz veinlets, and correlates with elevated arsenic and silicification.

North Fold Nose (NFN) Zone

Drillholes 21BSG-013 and 21BSG-017 tested the extent of mineralization hosted in the synformal, moderate south-plunging NFN zone, which is concentrated at the contact between mafic volcanic rock and sedimentary rock.

Hole 21BSG-013 targeted the west limb of the NFN zone. 2.33 g/t gold over 0.66 m was returned at the contact between basalt and sedimentary rock from 101.29 - 101.95 m. The core is altered to muscovite, carbonate, and chlorite-actinolite and contains 7% pyrite, 6% pyrrhotite and 2% blebby arsenopyrite. An additional small zone grading 0.12 g/t gold was intersected higher in the hole from 76.28 - 76.79 m, comprising a weakly silicified and amphibole-carbonate altered section sulphides.

Hole 21BSG-017 targeted the east limb of the NFN zone and intersected the contact between basalt and sedimentary rock at 171.26 m. Mineralization is concentrated at this contact with 10.10 g/t gold over 2.05 m from 171.26 - 173.39 m. The interval is sheared with intense pervasive silicification and quartz veining with visible gold noted at 171.80 m. 7% pyrite, 7% pyrrhotite, 2% blocky arsenopyrite, trace chalcopyrite and sphalerite are present.

Central - Axis - East Limb Zones

21BSG-018: Central Zone acicular trend near Axis trend intersection.

This drillhole targeted the Central Zone acicular arsenopyrite trend. The hole was collared in fine grained basalt which is present throughout the length of the hole except for a unit of gabbro intersected from 10.64 - 75.21 m. A brittle structure with fault gouge is present from 64.46 - 64.88 m. Additional work to better understand potential merging of the zones or offset of the zones is required to explain the lack of mineralized and altered sections in this drill hole.

21BSG-019: East Limb Zone acicular trend.

The East Limb Zone is likely the southern extension of the Central A and B mineralized planes. Hole 21BSG-019 intersected 2.07 g/t gold from 16.20 - 17.14 m in the hanging wall of the primary target zone before the hole was aborted due to mechanical problems with the drill rig. This intercept is ~200 m east along trend of the next nearest anomalous assay result hosted in the Central A plane. A second anomalous gold interval (1.27 g/t gold from 71.95 - 72.5 m) lies in the hanging wall of the Central B plane, and may represent another, new zone. There is a lack of drilling in this area, and more drillholes will enable a more robust interpretation.

A surface grab sample from the Roma Fold prospect returned 12.60 g/t gold from a massive acicular arsenopyrite boulder in a silicified vein zone with limited surface expression. The structure was traced in historical mapping for at least 300 m and historic sampling along this trend returned values of 4.51 and 5.58 g/t gold. The detailed heliborne magnetics survey completed in 2021 outlined a distinct magnetic anomaly over the mineralized trend. A surface grab sample from the Roma Main target returned 2.91 g/t gold from acicular arsenopyrite in the hanging wall of a quartz vein. The zone potentially extends 2,300 m along strike based on mapped surface oxidation of the structure. Samples at Roma ranged from detection limit to 12.60 g/t gold.

Initial proposals and planning are underway for the 2022 exploration program. Currently this is envisioned as a balanced program that targets:

The program is expected to include regional geophysical and geochemical surveys and select mapping and prospecting over areas that have been identified as highly prospective for new discovery.

Technical Disclosure Full collar tables and assay tables will be made available on the website in due course. Core samples were cut by core saw with one half of the core retained and the other half sent for analysis. Samples were prepared by ALS Yellowknife-Geochemistry and analyzed at ALS Global, North Vancouver. Gold analysis was by fire assay using ALS code Au-AA26 and multielement analysis by code ME-MS61. Control samples included a crush duplicate every 20 samples and certified reference material inserted once every ten samples. Reported assay intervals are uncapped, use a minimum 1 g/t gold assay cut off with the inclusion of up to 3 metres of material below cut-off. True widths for all but the Flood Zone are not known due to lack of drilling and may range from 90% to 95% of drilled lengths.

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - June 23, 2022 - Leocor Gold Inc. (the " Company " or " Leocor ") (CSE:LECR ) ( OTC:LECRF ) ; ( Frankfurt:LGO) is pleased to announce it has completed mobilization of a Rotary Air Blast ("RAB") drill and initiated drilling on the Company's Baie Verte project located near Anaconda Mining's Pine Cove Mine and Rambler Metal's Ming Mine in northwestern Newfoundland. The Phase 1 program will test at least 6 different target areas for gold andor copper mineralization with 25 30 RAB drill holes and is designed to follow up on previously announced soil and GT Probe results (1) ; evaluating the targets for potential follow up diamond drilling as warranted. The Company is also initiating work programs on it's Western Exploit and Gander District properties and details of those programs will be forthcoming in future news releases.

The Phase 1 RAB Drilling program will consist of 25-30 drill holes and test at least 6 target areas across the Baie Verte property including the Dorset, Gunshot, Dorset SW, Copper Creek SW, FMB, and Copper Creek target areas. The program will follow up on previously announced gold and copper soil and GT Probe results over a 7km trend across the property (1) and is designed to evaluate the targets for potential diamond drilling.

The RAB drilling will be completed by GroundTruth Exploration Inc. using their "GT RAB Drill," a Heli-Portable, wireless remote-controlled, rubber tracked platform with a hydraulic tilting mast assembly and rotary drill head. The GT RAB Drill is environmentally friendly with low-ground pressure and minimal surface disturbance. Individual drill holes will be up to 100m in depth and will be paired with onsite XRF analysis and optical televiewer surveys, allowing rapid evaluation of the target areas.

Figure 2 – Phase1 RAB Drill targets over copper in soils.

The Dorset trend consists of a 2.5 km gold in soil anomaly(s) located approximately 3km south of the Baie Verte townsite, extending from historic Dorset and Gunshot prospects (rock samples up to 57.2 g/t Au) to the southwest. RAB drilling on the trend will focus on the Dorset, Gunshot, and Dorset SW target areas. At Dorset and Gunshot, the drilling will test a series of NE striking, steeply west dipping quartz veins and breccia zones with sericite-ankerite alteration and pyrite, arsenopyrite, and, locally, visible gold mineralization. On the Dorset SW, the drilling with test a series of coincident soil and GT Probe anomalies (up to 1.19 g/t Au) over a 700m NE oriented trend.

The FMB Trend (Five Mile Brook Trend) is located 4km SSW of Baie Verte, less than 1km off of the main highway and consists of a 2km gold-arsenic soil anomaly associated with sheared and strongly contact of ultramafic and metavolcanic units with rock samples up to 1.31 g/t Au.

Copper Creek Southwest is located approximately 750m west kilometer of the Gunshot target and consists of a 1km NE trending soil anomaly with values up to 1135 ppb Au. The target was historically called the ‘Albatross Target' and was previously trenched and drilled by Noranda in the late 1980's. The historic work included grab samples of up to 30 g/t Au and drilling results of 1.0 g/t Au over 7 m (2) and is associated with a series of meter-scale quartz veins with pyrite-arsenopyrite.

(2) See NFLD Assessment GeoFile 012H/16/1127 by MacDougall dated April 1989.

Copper Creek Trend (Copper & Gold)

The Copper Creek Trend consists of 2 km northeast trending Cu-Au soil anomaly(s) with highs of 2860 ppb Cu and 867 ppb Au. The northern area of the trend is defined by a 500m x 1000m copper anomaly associated with anomalous zinc (+/-gold); indicative of VMS style mineralization similar to the historic Terra Nova Mine; located approximately 1.5km to the west. Initial RAB drilling on the target will focus on a series of NE trending semi-massive to massive sulfide (pyrite-chalcopyrite) identified during recent follow up exploration on the trend.

Assay Methodology and QA/QC

The soils samples for the program are prepared at Eastern Analytical Laboratories. Samples are dried at 60 degrees Celsius and sieved to -80 mesh. The pulps are air couriered shipped to Bureau Veritas Labs in Vancouver, British Columbia. The pulps are analyzed with the AQ201+U method, dissolving 15 grams in Aqua Regia and analyzed for 37 elements by ICP-MS technique.

All rock, GT Probe, and RAB samples will be prepared and analyzed by ALS Global Laboratories of Moncton, NB. The entire sample will be crushed to 70% passing -2 mm and then splitting off and pulverizing a 250-gram split to 85% passing -75 microns. A 0.5 gram cut of the pulp will be analyzed by ME-ICP41, an aqua regia digestion followed by ICP-AES analysis for 35 elements. Gold will be analyzed for by AA-AU23 using a 30-gram charge for a standard fire assay with an AA finish. If Au results were >10 g/t a second 30-gram charge will be used for a standard fire assay with a gravimetric finish.

The reported work will be completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC") program consisting of the insertion of certified standard, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream.

Figure 3 – Regional Setting of the Baie Verte Project

About Leocor's Baie Verte Project

The Baie Verte Peninsula represents one of the more productive and historical gold and base metal mining districts in Canada. The former Terra Nova base metal mine – one of several copper mines of the region, which operated during the late 1880's to early 1900's – lies 200 meters west of Leocor's Copper Creek claims. Former gold mining operations in the area include the Goldenville mine (of 1903-1906), located 8 km NE of the property, and the more recent Nugget Pond mine (1997-2000) of the eastern Baie Verte Peninsula area. Currently producing mines in the area include the Rambler base metal-gold mine (1961-present), located 14 km ESE of Baie Verte, and the Pine Cove and Stogertite mines (collectively, 2011-present) located 1.6 km and 5.4 km NE of the current property.

The Baie Verte project combines the Dorset, Dorset Extension, Five Mile Brook and Copper Creek projects consisting of fourteen mineral licenses, totalling 80 claims, and covering 1995 hectares (19.95 square km).

The Dorset Gold Project is a 275-ha gold exploration project, located south of the Pine Cove Gold Mine, and features multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralization. The Main Dorset Zone includes three historic showings, referred to as Dorset 1, 2 and 3 Showings. Grab samples from Dorset 1 returned 407.9, 349.2, 147.1, 143.9, 138.2, 108.0, 106.7, 72.4 and 30.0 g/t Au. Grab samples from Dorset 2 returned 167.0, 96.12, 84.3, 49.7, 23.8,4.33 and 1.33 g/t Au (MacDougall and Walker, 1988) and a "combined assay of 56.0 g/t Au over 2.5m" (MacDougall 1989) . Historic drilling includes DDH 87-1, which intersected 9.5 g/t Au over 1.3m (MacDougall and Walker, 1988).

Historic select sampling at the Braz Zone returned values of 314 g/t Au, 40 g/t Au, 31.4 g/t Au, 21.2 g/t Au, 19.2 g/t Au and 14.8 g/t Au. Historic channel sampling across the vein returned 9.5 g/t Au over 0.4m, 5.7 g/t Au over 0.5m and 1.2 g/t Au over 0.65m. Weighted averages of historic rock sampling encompassing vein and mineralized wall rock returned values of 5.8 g/t Au over 1.9m, 3.1 g/t Au over 2m and 2.5 g/t Au over 1.5m (MacDougall, 1990).

Other zones include The Albatross, where historic rock sampling of mineralized zones returned values up to 30.3 g/t Au. Assay results from three 1987 diamond drill holes include 1.0 g/t Au over 7.3m, 1.81 g/t over 4.3m and 1.02 g/t over 2.2m and the Gunshot Zone, where veins containing visible gold and pyrite returned grab samples that assayed up to 162 g/t Au and channel samples that assayed up to 18 g/t Au over 0.4m (MacDougall, 1989)

In the Phoenix Zone, "assays from initial grab samples returned 5.8 and 5.5 g/t within the gabbro. Quartz veins have returned 1.4, 0.6 and 0.5 g/t Au. Similar mineralization located 500m north east returned 3.3 g/t." (MacDougall, 1987). Diamond drilling hole intersected of 1.07 g/t Au over 5.45m (MacDougall, 1989).

Copper Creek (1,025-ha) hosts a number of gold prospects and copper occurrences associated with extensive alteration/shear zones developed within a thrust-faulted sequence of quartz-Fe-carbonate-fuchsite-altered gabbros, ultramafics and mafic volcanics, of the Advocate (ophiolite) Complex, and intermediate to silicic volcaniclastics & tuffs and microgabbroic dykes/sills, of the Flatwater Pond (cover sequence) Group. Historical results at Copper Creek – Biarritz zone include "values ranging from 1.3 to 16 g/t Au from grab samples and a combined assay of 3.9 g/t Au over 4.0m from detailed chip sampling." Additionally, "300m SW along strike exposed a 5-10m shear zone with similar alteration returned which returned sporadic values up to 9,2 g/t Au from grab samples" Noranda drilled several diamond holes in the area including A-88-7 which returned 0.66 g/t Au over 1.5 m and A-88-9 which returned 3.11 g/t Au over 0.5 m. (MacDougall, 1989).

Five Mile Brook (350-ha) has been subject to minimal exploration in the past but shows potentially important geological continuity to the Company's Dorset Gold Project, which lies directly contiguous to the northern boundary.

Falcon Gold Corp. (TSXV:FG)(GR:3FA)(OTCQB:FGLDF); ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to report it has entered into two separate arm's-length agreements, pursuant to which the company will acquire a 100-per-cent interest in two battery metals projects in the province of Ontario and Quebec, collectively known as the Timmins West and Outarde Nickel Project northwest of Baie Comeau, Quebec

The first purchase agreement covers 5 mining claims totaling 1,940 hectares within the Kamiskotia Gabbroic Complex (KGC) located 20 km northwest of Timmins, Ontario (Figure 1). The KGC is a gabbroic to anorthositic intrusive mafic to ultra-mafic body that has documented nickel-copper-cobalt (Ni-Cu-Co) mineralization. An outcrop grab sample in 2004 reported 0.44% Ni, 0.64% Cu and 0.033% Co hosted by 10% pyrrhotite. The Property lies 40 km southwest of the Crawford Ni-Co Project being developed by Canada Nickel (TSXV:CNC).

The KGC property shares many similarities to other well-known complexes such as the Bushveld Complex (South Africa), the Stillwater Complex (USA) and Bell River Dore Lake Complexes (Quebec) (Barrie, 2000). The Timmins West Ni-Cu-Co property has historically been explored for gold. However, it's mafic to ultra-mafic composition within the KGC makes it a prime target for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co mineralization. The regional government flown magnetic signature of the KGC suggests a possible layer within the KGC that has the potential to a host a pyrrhotite-rich cumulate layer host to Ni-Cu-Co mineralization. An outcrop grab sample in (AFRI 42A12SE2024, sample 185247) taken in 2004 reported 0.44% Ni, 0.645% Cu, 332 ppm Co, 0.053 g/t Au and 3 g/t Ag. This sample was associated with 10% pyrrhotite in a gabbroic mafic outcrop. Eight (8) additional samples within 15 m of the 185247 also reported anomalous Ni-Cu-Co values.

The second purchase agreement comprises of 93 claims covering 5, 138 hectares located 120 km northwest of Baie-Comeau, Quebec. The Outarde Property contains nickel-copper-cobalt style mineralization and was last explored by Falconbridge in 1997. The property is located at the folded nose of a gabbro-norite suite of mafic rocks, part of the large anorthositic-gabbro pluton of the De La Blache Mafic Plutonic Suite (Figure 2). The gabbro-norite body occupies the entire length of the property (about 30 km) and has only been intermittently explored. Nickel and copper-bearing sulphides are generally located in fracture or shear zones. Highlights of the best Ni and Cu assays are 1.28% Ni and 1.38% Cu and 700 ppm Co from a grab sample. The property has not been drilled. Recommended work includes a high-resolution airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey followed by ground truthing of detected anomalies. Grab samples are selected samples and not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

Mr. Karim Rayani, Falcon's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Falcon continues to build value for stakeholders and is pleased to add these ‘green metal' projects to our portfolio. The success of Canada Nickel in building the nearby Crawford Ni-Co Project to a zero-carbon producer of green metal provides impetus for the Timmins West acquisition. The Outarde Nickel Project acquisition adds to our green metal portfolio in an unexplored nickel-copper-cobalt suite of lithologies. The increasing demand for green metals and current supply deficits make projects like these very attractive long term in attracting new investments."

Falcon Gold purchased the Property from an individual (the "Vendor") for $10,500 in cash and the issuance of 100,000 common shares of the Company. The Vendor retains a 1% NSR which can be purchased by the Company for $300,000.

Falcon Gold purchased the property from an individual ("Vendor") for $12,000 in cash and the issuance of 150,000 shares. The vendor retains a 1% NSR that can be purchased by the Company for $300,000.

The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mike Kilbourne, P.Geo., who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

The QP and the Company has not completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the properties comprising the Timmins West, particularly regarding historical exploration, neighbouring companies, and government geological work.

Falcon is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on generating, acquiring, and exploring opportunities in the Americas. Falcon's flagship project, the Central Canada Gold Mine, is approximately 20km southeast of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Gold Deposit which has currently estimated 3.32 million ounces of gold (123.5 million tonnes grading 0.84 g/t gold) mineral reserves, and 2.3 million ounces of measured and indicated mineral resources (133.4 million tonnes grading 0.54 g/t gold). The Hammond Reef gold property lies on the Hammond shear zone, which is a northeast-trending splay off the Quetico Fault Zone ("QFZ") and may be the control for the gold deposit. The Central Gold property lies on a similar major northeast-trending splay of the QFZ.

The Company holds 9 additional projects: The Esperanza Gold/Silver/Copper mineral concessions located in La Rioja Province, Argentina, The Viernes Gold/Silver/Copper project in Antofagasta Chile, The Springpole West Property in the world-renowned Red Lake mining camp; a 49% interest in the Burton Gold property with Iamgold near Sudbury Ontario; and in B.C., the Spitfire-Sunny Boy, Gaspard Gold claims; and most recently the Great Burnt, Hope Brook, and Baie Verte acquisitions adjacent to First Mining, Matador, Benton-Sokoman's JV, and Marvel Discovery in Central Newfoundland.
