The Steller Project is a cornerstone addition to Blue Jay Gold's portfolio, anchoring our growth with a high-grade, infrastructure-rich asset in one of Canada's most long-lived mining jurisdictions. Located just 55 km south of Whitehorse, Yukon, the 170 km² Steller property blends a legacy of past production with modern exploration upside, offering a rare opportunity to advance a historically fertile project hosted in an underexplored district.
Originally brought into production in the 1980s, the Mt. Steller Mine produced nearly 80,000 ounces of gold at an average recovered grade of 13 g/t Au. That early phase of mining left behind a strong infrastructure base — including a 50-person camp, technical services workshop and office, and a network of access roads — offering Blue Jay a significant head start toward reactivation of exploration.
Today, the project hosts NI 43-101 compliant high-grade gold-silver resources. The most recent mineral resource estimate (October 2026) outlines 400,000 oz AuEq in the Indicated category and 449,000 oz AuEq Inferred, grading 9.06 g/t and 6.45 g/t AuEq, respectively. The system remains wide open at depth and along strike.
Steller's geological setting is compelling because of the sheer scale and diversity of enriched metals within mineralized corridors across the ~25 km wide project. Gold and silver mineralization is structurally controlled and exhibits a clear association with an Eocene-age volcanic-magmatic centre interpreted to have formed a range of epithermal-related, high-grade gold and gold-silver systems.
Notable example drilling from the Rainbow Zone at Steller Creek returned intercepts such as 10.5 metres of 8.1 g/t Au and 175 g/t Ag, while Mt. Steller has yielded bonanza grades near surface, including 7.7 metres at 15.7 g/t Au. The broader land package also holds high-priority targets such as the Charleston and Raca zones, many untested by modern drilling.
Beyond grade and scale, Steller stands apart due to its infrastructure leverage and road accessibility, allowing for more cost-effective exploration than typical remote grass-roots approaches. Blue Jay's near-term focus includes targeted step-out drilling to grow and upgrade the resource base, testing new high-grade targets, and concurrently addressing legacy reclamation — in line with our commitment to modern, responsible exploration.
