Overview
PROPERTIES & BELTS
- Combining innovation and consistency, with sustained exploration efforts that ensure steady progress and allow for the identification of new opportunities.
- Strong in-house geological expertise has dramatically improved the understanding of the Ulu gold deposit and provided a solid foundation for strategic exploration proximal to the deposit.
- Recognition of the value that exists in historical work, Blue Star has created GIS databases of digitized historical work at the project and belt scale for the first time, creating a robust pipeline of targets.
- Identification and acquisition of prospective claims within the underexplored High Lake Belt, resulting in new discoveries such as the Ataani massive sulphide target.
Proposed Grays Bay Road
The proposed route corridor for the all-weather Grays Bay Road passes close by Blue Star’s Ulu-Hood River and Roma projects. The proposed Grays Bay Road will provide access to the deepwater Grays Bay Port located 40 km north of Blue Star’s Roma Claims, connecting southern Canada with the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as part of the Arctic Security Corridor. The proposed route was planned to increase connectivity in the mineral-rich Slave Province and strengthen continental defense of the northern border of North America.
Regulatory
Nunavut is a politically stable and mining-friendly region, with a government that recognizes the industry’s contributions to the provincial economy and infrastructure development. Blue Star’s claims are a combination of mineral exploration agreements on Inuit Owned Land, crown claims, and the renewable 21-year Ulu mining lease, all of which allow for surface and underground exploration. Blue Star prioritizes employment of local workers, utilization of northern contractors and working with local governments to fulfill all regulatory and environmental requirements. Blue Star’s work in has been recognized with the 2023 Nunavut Mining Symposium Corporate Award, which is granted to a corporation who has displayed outstanding
