Blue Star Expands Land Position to Include

Copper Rich Critical Mineral Target at Sand

Lake

Historical Drill Results Include 21 Metres of 2.71% Cu and 15

Metres of 3.29% Cu

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 20, 2025) -

Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV:

BAU) (OTCQB: BAUFF) (FSE: 5WP0) ("Blue Star" or the "Company")

, a leading explorer in

Canada's North, announces the expansion of its Roma Project to include additional ground covering the

Sand Lake prospect, a high potential, copper rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) target that has

significant historical drill results and excellent infrastructure potential (Figure 1).

Highlights

Newly acquired ground covers the Sand Lake prospect, where historical drilling intersected 21

metres (m) averaging 2.71% copper (Cu), and 15 m of 3.29% Cu in stringer-style mineralization

typical of VMS feeder zones

Located 5 kilometres (km) east of Blue Star's recent Ataani VMS lens discovery, and 15 km north

of the High Lake VMS deposit, Sand Lake may represent part of the broader High Lake VMS

camp or a new mineralized centre within the same trend

The expanded Sand Lake tenure includes an existing esker airstrip and flat terrain ideal for future

infrastructure, and lies approximately one km from the proposed Grays Bay Road

About the Sand Lake Prospect

The newly acquired ground is within an expanded Roma Mineral Exploration Agreement (MEA) covering

the Sand Lake prospect. Work by previous operators outlined a shallow zone which includes intercepts

of 21 m averaging 2.71% Cu and 15 m of 3.29% Cu (AR030105; Robertson, 2006;) within a zone of

stringer style, copper rich mineralization accompanied by chlorite alteration and dalmatianite,

characteristics typical of the stringer or feeder zone of a volcanogenic massive sulphide system.

Previous operators also noted a greater than 10 m wide zinc rich zone on the northern most Sand Lake

drill section (CMJ, 2006).

VMS deposits commonly occur in camps or clusters, representing multiple mineralizing centres formed

within favourable volcanic belts. The Sand Lake prospect lies only 5 km east of Blue Star's recent 2024

Ataani VMS discovery, and together these zones may form part of the broader High Lake VMS camp or

represent a new, emerging area of mineralization within the same geological trend (Figure 2).

The expanded Sand Lake tenure includes an existing ~400 m sand airstrip situated on a flat glaciofluvial

plain, providing an ideal foundation for future exploration support and infrastructure development. The

Sand Lake acquisition complements Blue Star's existing northern infrastructure which includes the 40-

person Ulu camp and a ~1,350 m long gravel airstrip, suitable for landing C-130 Hercules aircraft,

located approximately 75 km south of Sand Lake. Both airstrips are located within 2 km of the proposed

Grays Bay Road. Collectively, these facilities establish a strong operational base for future exploration

and potential development.

"Adding the Sand Lake prospect is a strategic step that strengthens both our critical mineral portfolio

and our logistical footprint in the region,"

stated Grant Ewing, CEO of Blue Star Gold.

"The

combination of high-grade copper results, excellent geological potential, and existing infrastructure

gives us a strong foundation to advance exploration and evaluate the broader mineral potential of the

area."

Blue Star plans to incorporate the Sand Lake prospect into its 2026 exploration program, which will

include geological mapping and prospecting, ground geophysics, and target refinement in preparation

for potential follow-up drilling. The Company's team is currently working on recovering and compiling the

historical data. Noted drill intervals and related quality control programs have not been reviewed by Blue

Star's qualified person.

About Blue Star Gold Corp.

Blue Star is a mineral exploration and development company focused in Nunavut, Canada. Blue Star's

landholdings total over 300 square kilometres of highly prospective and underexplored mineral

properties in the High Lake Greenstone Belt. The Company owns the Ulu Gold Project, comprised of the

Ulu Mining Lease and Hood River Property, and the Roma Project. A significant high-grade gold

resource exists at the Flood Zone deposit (Ulu Mining Lease), and numerous high-potential exploration

targets (gold and critical minerals) occur throughout the Company's extensive landholdings, providing

Blue Star with excellent resource growth potential. 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 close by the Roma and Ulu Gold Projects.

Blue Star is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol: BAU, the U.S. OTCQB Venture

Market under the symbol: BAUFF, and on the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol: 5WP0. For
