Blue Star Gold Started Drilling on Its Nunavut Properties at the North Fold Nose Zone

Vancouver, July 13, 2020 - Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAU) (FSE: 5WP) (the "Company") announces that its 7,000m drill program started last Friday with the first planned DD hole at the North Fold Nose Zone.

The first of 2 drill crews set up and started drilling a series of shorter holes with the goal to extend the gold mineralization identified in 2019 in the northern part of the Robb Trend on the Hood River property.

The Ulu camp opening is under way. The second drill and crew are expected to arrive by the end of the week. The Ulu-based drill and crew focus on the Flood and Gnu zones at Ulu first before moving to new targets in the eastern part of the Hood River property.

Peter Kuhn, Interim CEO comments: "We are very pleased to have commenced our exploration program, especially given the COVID-19 related restrictions in place and associated precautions all of our workers must take during all aspects of the program. We are grateful for the ongoing work of the Chief Public Health Officer and his team. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our workers and communities."
