WSR Gold Inc. Announces Proposal to Consolidate Its Common Shares and Change Name

  The board of directors of WSR Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: WSR) ("WSR" or the "Company") announces a proposal to consolidate the common shares of the Company on the basis of one (1) "new" common share for ten (10) "old" common shares and to change its name to "White Pine Resources Inc." This proposal will be put forward for approval at the Company's special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on December 16, 2008.

There are currently outstanding approximately 113.1 million common shares. If approved, the consolidation will reduce the number of common shares outstanding to approximately 11.3 million. WSR believes that a reduced number of shares will have numerous benefits, including facilitating corporate finance transactions. WSR proposes to change its name to better reflect its current and ongoing exploration plans.

Further information regarding the proposed share consolidation and name change will be available in the Company's meting materials, including the Management Information Circular and letter of transmittal, which will be mailed to shareholders on November 25, 2008.
