Blue Star’s CEO, Grant Ewing, commented,

“The current financing and restructuring is anticipated to be complete within the next 30 days, and following this Blue Star will be in the best shape in the Company’s history. We will have an attractive capital structure, a clean balance sheet, and be fully funded for our 2021 exploration program where multiple priority targets will be tested over our highly prospective properties. The current exploration program will benefit from the extensive review and compilation of the historic Ulu dataset that was conducted over the last several months and will be the first program led by the Company’s new technical team that has a long history of success in Nunavut.”
