Desert Star's Chief Geologist, Dr. Alan Wainwright Receives "Spud" Huestis Award

Desert Star Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DSR) ("Desert Star") would like to
congratulate Dr. Alan Wainwright, Desert Star's Chief Geologist, for his
achievements as a recipient of the 2014 "Spud" Huestis Award for excellence in
prospecting and mineral exploration. Dr. Wainwright is one of the individuals
recognized for his role in Kaminak Gold Corporation's exploration and
development of the Coffee Gold Project.


The Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia ("AME BC") has, over
the years, established seven awards which are primarily named in honour of
eminent persons who were recognized for their distinguished service, leadership,
and contribution to the mineral exploration industry. Once a year the awards
were held to celebrate and honour the important achievements and contributions
made by individuals and teams to the mining industry in BC and globally. The
first Award to be presented by AME BC was established in 1977 when the H.H.
"Spud" Huestis Award was awarded for "excellence in prospecting and mineral
exploration". It was most fitting that the Award consisted of a claim post
mounted on a block of porphyry copper ore from the Bethlehem Copper mine
(Highland Valley camp), which "Spud" explored and developed back in the 1950s.
