Blue Star Gold Corp. announced that Mr. Darren Lindsay has been appointed as Vice President Exploration effective January 18, 2021. Darren is a professional geologist with over 25 years of experience in mineral exploration across four continents with a focus on orogenic gold systems. He graduated from the University of British Columbia with a B.Sc. honours degree in geology and before that earned a B.Sc. honours degree in biochemistry from Carleton University. In addition to over 15 years working in the Slave Structural Province with BHP Minerals, Inmet Mining, Miramar Hope Bay, Newmont and NxGold, Darren has also worked on orogenic gold deposits in Ontario, Guyana, Ghana and western Australia. Darren was directly involved with and led teams for belt-scale exploration, resource expansions, and feasibility level studies of gold deposits in the Hope Bay Belt, Nunavut, the Beardmore-Geraldton Belt and the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt, Ontario. He was a key member of the team that defined prospective stratigraphy hosting the northern deposits of the Hope Bay Belt that led to the targeting and substantial expansion of the mineral resources leading to the purchase of Miramar Hope Bay by Newmont. His team at Kodiak Exploration defined the resources of the Hercules deposit, discovered a large lower grade gold system at Adel Lake and recognised the potential of the Magino mine to become a core multi-million ounce asset for Kodiak Exploration which went on to rebrand and ultimately be acquired by Argonaut Gold.
