November 10, 2020 – VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Bluestone Resources Inc. (TSXV:BSR | OTCQB:BBSRF) ("Bluestone" or the "Company") is pleased to report additional high grade drill assays received from the drilling program currently underway in the South Zone of the Cerro Blanco gold project, where five drill rigs are operational both in the underground workings and on surface. Results continue to confirm the continuity and high grade of the vein style mineralization within and outside of the current reserve envelope, including bonanza grades recently intersected of 674.8 g/t Au and 2,863 g/t Ag over 1.1 meter (true thickness).   

Results from four underground and three surface holes are reported in this press release. Highlights include the following uncapped intercepts representing true widths of the veins.

Underground holes

• 11.0 meters grading 86.3 g/t Au and 365 g/t Ag including 1.1 meters grading 674.8 g/t Au and 2,863 g/t Ag(UGCB20-179)
• 13.3 meters grading 24.9 g/t Au and 38.6 g/t Ag including 8.1 meters grading 31.0 g/t Au and 33.5 g/t Ag(UGCB20-176)
• 13.5 meters grading 4.4 g/t Au and 23.6 g/t Ag (UGCB20-176)
• 1.2 meters grading 23.6 g/t Au and 91 g/t Ag (UGCB20-179)

Surface Holes 

• 1.5 meters grading 26.5 g/t Au and 374 g/t Ag (CB20-424)
• 4.3 meters grading 11.6 g/t Au and 35.7 g/t Ag (CB20-424)
• 3.0 meters grading 19.1 g/t Au and 15 g/t Ag (CB20-427)

David Cass, Vice President of Exploration, commented, "These latest results continue to highlight the consistency and continuity of the high-grade veins at Cerro Blanco. Results from hole UGCB20-179 represent one of the highest-grade intercepts ever drilled, including the highest-ever gold assay received to date of 675 g/t Au and 2,864 g/t Ag over 1.2 meters. Importantly, this high-grade zone is situated in the upper reaches of the South Zone orebody above the current underground mine infrastructure, and confirms extensions to several veins outside of the current feasibility study mine plan and therefore indicates excellent potential for further growth in that area of the deposit.”

The focus of the drill program is to improve the definition of key veins in parallel to expanding the high-grade mineralization for known veins outside of the current resource envelope. The work is expected to build on the infill drill program completed in the North Zone of the deposit in 2019 which resulted in an updated resource estimate of 1.41 million ounces of gold averaging 10.3 g/t in Measured and Indicated categories (see Technical Report dated January 29, 2019 and updated in the press release dated November 6, 2019).  

Jack Lundin, CEO, commented, "The team has done an excellent job navigating through this drill program and delivering exceptional intercepts in the South Zone of the Cerro Blanco orebody. Our understanding of the geology in both the North and South Zone continues to improve and we see further upside potential for additional high-grade resources. As we add value through the drill bit, we will look to capture the details in future mine plan optimizations.”

Drill hole Summary 
Drill holes UGCB20-175, UGCB20-176, UGCB20-178 were drilled at steep angles from the underground workings with the main objective to infill drill the high-grade portion of the principal feeder vein VS_01 and associated sub-parallel splay VS_21. All three holes were successful in intercepting the target, with a wide zone of high grade mineralization drilled in UGCB20-176 of 13.3 meters true width associated with a thick vein and hanging wall stockworks that assayed 24.9 g/t Au and 39 g/t Ag including 8.1 meters grading 31 g/t Au (VS_01). Several new and wide steeply dipping veins were identified to the east of the main deposit in hole UGCB20-178 (13.5 meters @ 4.4 g/t Au) confirming the potential of this poorly drilled portion of the South Zone for additional resources.

Drill hole UGCB20-179 was a step-out hole drilled +14 degrees (upwards) from the underground workings targeting extensions of several veins in the upper north-east portion of the South Zone. A 11.9 meter intercept grading 86.3 g/t Au and 365 g/t Ag was drilled including vein VS_07 and VS-08, with VS_08 assaying 194 g/t Au and 40.2 g/t Ag over 4.5 meters, which included the highest gold assay ever received at Cerro Blanco of 674.8 g/t Au over 1.2m. The high-grade veins are separated by lower grade middling characterized by stockworks and weak silicification in Mbt sandstones.

Drill holes CB20-424, CB20-426, CB20-427 were drilled from surface as infill and to test extensions to several vein swarms in the north-eastern part of the South Zone, with several new veins intersected, including 3 meters assaying 19.1 g/t Au and 15 g/t Ag in CB20-427 from 215.8 meters.

Precious metal mineralization at Cerro Blanco is associated with classic low sulphidation quartz - adularia epithermal veins and vein swarms hosted in altered sequence of volcanoclastic and sedimentary rocks. Higher grades (>20 g/t Au and >60 g/t Ag) are associated with visible gold, electrum and silver sulphides in ginguro-style colloform-banded veins.

Quality Analysis and Quality Control
Assay results listed within this release were performed by Inspectorate Laboratories (“Inspectorate”), a division of Bureau Veritas, which are ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. Logging and sampling are undertaken on site at Cerro Blanco by Company personnel under a QA/QC protocol developed by Bluestone. Samples are transported in security-sealed bags to Inspectorate Labs in Managua, Nicaragua for sample preparation.  Sample pulps are then shipped to Inspectorate Laboratories in Reno, NV, USA, and assayed using industry-standard assay techniques for gold and silver. Gold and silver were analysed by a 30-gram charge with atomic absorption and/or gravimetric finish for values exceeding 5 g/t Au and 100 g/t Ag. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material, and replicate samples. Quality control is further assured by Bluestone’s QA/QC program, which involves the insertion of blind certified reference materials (standards) and field duplicates into the sample stream to independently assess analytical precision and accuracy of each batch of samples as they are received from the laboratory.  A selection of samples is submitted to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Vancouver for check analysis and additional quality control.

Although Bluestone believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to their inherent uncertainty.  There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

The Company has included certain non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) measures in this news release. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company and to compare it to information reported by other companies. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

All-in sustaining costs

The Company believes that all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold.

The Company calculates AISC as the sum of refining costs, third party royalties, site operating costs, sustaining capital costs and closure capital costs all divided by the gold ounces sold to arrive at a per ounce amount. Other companies may calculate this measure differently as a result of differences in underlying principles and policies applied. Differences may also arise due to a different definition of sustaining versus non-sustaining capital.

AISC reconciliation

AISC and costs are calculated based on the definitions published by the World Gold Council (“WGC”) (a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by 18 gold mining companies from around the world). The WGC is not a regulatory organization.
