Vanstar Announces Drilling Results from Nelligan

The management of Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VSR) (the
"Company") announces the completion of a second drilling campaign on the
Nelligan project, located in the Chapais-Chibougamau area. This 700-meter
drilling program tested the lateral and in-depth extensions of historical drill
holes 94-13 and 95-01 located in zone B, 200 metres east of zone A of the
Nelligan showing.


Despite a constant occurence of gold in most drill holes, this drilling program
did not outline a sector with economical gold grades. The Nelligan showing,
comprised of zone A and B, is now known on more than 600 metres and remains open
in-depth and in its lateral extensions.


The management of the Company remains confident with this project. Depending on
available working capital, management plans to resume works on this project in
the course of the year. 


The best results from this drilling campaign follow :
