Blue Star Gold Announces Option Grants, Debt Settlements, Issuance of Bonus Shares and Closing of Non-Brokered Private Placement

Blue Star Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAU) (FSE: 5WP) (the "Company") announces that it has granted incentive stock options to purchase a total of 10,600,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.11 per common share for a period of 3 years to certain directors, officers and consultants in accordance with the provisions of its stock option plan.

The Company announces that it will issue an aggregate of 4,000,000 bonus shares (the "Bonus Shares") at a deemed price of $0.05 per Bonus Share pursuant to loan agreements (the "Loan Agreements") entered into with certain parties for an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the "Loans"). The Loans bear an annual simple interest rate of 7.5%. The aggregate number of Bonus Shares equals 20% of the principal amount of the Loans.

The Loan Agreements and issuance of Bonus Shares were previously approved by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") on June 22, 2020.

The Company also announces that, subject to the approval of the Exchange, it wishes to settle the Loans, as to $1,000,000 in principal amount plus $114,687.50 in interest owing on the Loans referred to above, by issuing a total of 20,324,444 common shares (the "Shares") of the Company at a deemed price of $0.055 per Share (the "Debt Settlement"). The parties have agreed to accept repayment of the principal amount of the Loans and the interest owing on the Loans in Shares in lieu of cash, as originally agreed to in the Loan Agreements. The Company will obtain Exchange approval on the Debt Settlement prior to issuing the Shares. The sale of stakes in the Company's projects announced previously (see news release dated July 29, 2019) have been cancelled as a result of this Debt Settlement. The Company currently holds a 100% interest in its Ulu and Hood River Properties.

Additionally, the Company announces that, subject to the approval of the Exchange, it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") raising gross proceeds of $1,760,800 through the issuance of 22,010,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.08 per Unit. The Private Placement was conditionally approved by the Exchange on November 30, 2020.

Each Unit consists of one Share and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") with each Warrant exercisable into Shares of the Company at a price of $0.11 per Share for one year from the date of closing of the Private Placement.

The Company paid finder's fees of $38,328 and 479,100 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") to Red Cloud Financial Services Inc. and Teresa Schmid. The Finder's Warrants are non-transferable and exercisable at $0.08 per Share for a period of two years from the closing date of the Private Placement.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for exploration and development of the Company's projects in Nunavut and for general working capital.

Dr. Georg Pollert, a director and controlling shareholder of the Company, received 3,000,000 Bonus Shares, 15,265,332 Shares pursuant to the Debt Settlement and 12,500,000 Units pursuant to the Private Placement. As a result, the issuance of these securities is a related party transaction (as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")). The Company relied upon the "Fair Market Value Not More Than $2,500,000" exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements, respectively, under MI 61-101.

All securities issued pursuant to Option grants, issuance of Bonus Shares, Debt Settlement and Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period pursuant to securities laws in Canada and the Exchange hold period pursuant to Exchange policies.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
