Canstar Resources Inc. (Canstar) (TSX VENTURE:ROX) announces the retirement of
Harry J. Hodge as Chairman and Director and the subsequent appointment of Dennis
H. Peterson as the new Chairman of Canstar's Board of Directors.


Mr. Hodge retired as Chairman of Canstar's Board of Directors and Mr. Peterson
was immediately appointed to replace him. Mr. Hodge will continue on as a valued
advisor to the Company.


Mr. Peterson has 20 years of experience as a corporate securities lawyer
specializing in corporate finance matters for small cap companies, and has
served as a director with a number of public companies, including Probe Mines
Limited. Dennis is a securities lawyer and the principal of Peterson Law
Professional Corporation, a Toronto-based securities law boutique focusing on

Danniel Oosterman, President and CEO of Canstar, stated, "Harry has been an
integral part of Canstar since 2005 as a past president, director and Chairman
of the Company. His steady hand at the helm helped to guide the Company to
victory over the protracted legal battle fought over the Company's flagship Mary
March property located near the prolific, formerly producing Buchans Mine in
Central Newfoundland. His wisdom and keen sense of the industry will be missed.
On behalf of the Board, we wish to thank him for his many contributions and wish
him well in his retirement." 


"We would also like to welcome Dennis aboard as Canstar's new Chairman. His
corporate knowledge and experience will be instrumental in assisting the Company
as it embarks on a new phase of growth and development."


On behalf of myself and the Board of Directors,
