Blue Star Gold's 2020 drill program entailed 7,621 metres over 38 holes at the Ulu and Hood River properties.
The company's most recent resource estimate shows 605,000 ounces of measured and indicated gold are believed to exist in the Flood Zone.
The company stated that a comprehensive geographic information system compilation of all technical data is ongoing. Upon completion, an updated resource estimate is expected to be undertaken.
Blue Star Gold is also planning for a 2021 exploration program to expand resources at the Flood and Gnu deposits and to test high-priority targets nearby. The Ulu property encompasses approximately 9.5 square km.
"There is excellent resource expansion potential at the Flood and Gnu Zone deposits, and strong potential for new discovery proximal to these deposits and regionally on the extensive landholdings held by the company," Blue Star Gold stated in a Jan. 14 news release.
The company also intends to further explore the 80-square-km Hood River property, "where numerous high-grade gold showings exist."
