WestStar Completes the First Phase Exploration Program on the La Paloma Property, Mexico

WestStar Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WER) (the "Company", "WestStar") is
pleased to report that it has completed the first phase of work on its La Paloma
property (the "Property"). The Property is located approximately 70 kilometers
west of the city of Guadalajara in the State of Jalisco, Mexico. The Property
lies at the very southern end of the Sierra Madre Occidental physiographic
province which is well known for gold and silver mineralization and mining. 


The focus of this first phase of exploration was to both verify the historical
information and define drill targets for the second phase of work on the
Property. The Company is pleased to announce this first phase of work on the
Property was a success on both fronts. Assays are pending but the mineralized
structures were clearly seen, sampled and mapped. Assays will provide the final
information needed to refine and plan the upcoming drill program. The Company
plans on drilling the structures hosting historical non NI 43-101 compliant gold
and silver resources as well as expanding these structures along strike and
depth. The mineralized structure appears to strike for approximately 1,300
metres and run through three (3) mountains on the Property. Drilling and
additional work will be conducted to prove the full strike length of the
mineralized zones. The goal of the entire program is to define the first ever NI
43-101 compliant gold and silver resource for the Property.


Of great interest to the Company is the presence of a second parallel zone and
drill target of which there are no reports documenting historical mining. This
second parallel zone ("Eastern Structure") is located approximately 195 metres
northeast of the primary zone ("Primary Structure"). The Primary Structure was
mined until a workers' strike led to cessation of mining in 1928. The Company
plans to examine the relationship between the Primary and Eastern Structures.
The Eastern Structure has been named adit number three (3) on the northern side
of the valley and adit number four (4) on the southern side. Both adits three
(3) and four (4) line up across the valley and combine to form the Eastern
Structure. 


Mitchell Adam, President, states "WestStar is pleased the first phase of work
has identified numerous drill targets on the La Paloma property. A bonus was
recognizing a second parallel zone to integrate into our upcoming drill program
on the Property."


A local Mexican company, Minera Sierra de Oro ("Minera") has sampled the Eastern
Structure for gold and silver. This non NI 43-101 compliant sampling of the
Eastern Structure by the Minera revealed gold grades ranging from 0.20 to 12.0
g/t gold and 10.0 to 321.0 g/t silver. Recent sampling by APEX includes all
mineralized trends and historical workings on the Property. The Company plans on
using all sample data and the magnetic survey to guide future exploration on the
Property, including diamond drilling the mineralized structures.


All of the first phase of work was completed by APEX Geoscience Ltd. ("APEX") as
recommended by Snowden Industry Mining Consultants Ltd. ("Snowden"). The work
program consisted of geological mapping, reading 16.0 line kilometres of
ground-based magnetics and a collection of 1028 samples from the Property. These
1028 samples are made up of 193 rock chip samples, 660 soil samples and 175
stream samples. All samples will be integrated into the 3D model for the
Property. 


The Company is submitting all of the samples to ALS Laboratories ("ALS") in
Guadalajara, Mexico for sample preparation. Once the sample preparation is
completed all samples will be sent to Canada to be analyzed for gold and silver.


History of the La Paloma Property

The Property was, at one time, owned by Penoles who relinquished it in 1980. In
1983 and 1984 the Consejo de Recursos Minerales ("CRM"), a government agency,
drained and entered the northern end of the main tunnel of the Veta Ancha
workings and sampled an exploration drift approximately 100 metres from the 1928
planned mining to the northwest. Based on this work CRM reported a "potential
reserve" of 750,000 tonnes grading 4.19 g/t Au and 123 g/t Ag from the CRM. This
estimate must be considered a historical resource and does not meet the National
Instrument 43-101 definitions for a resource or reserve as stated in sections
1.2 and 1.3. There has been no opportunity to verify either the grade or size of
the reported "reserve" and therefore the estimate cannot be considered to comply
with NI 43-101. At this time, Snowden has not completed sufficient work to
classify the historical reserve estimate as either a current mineral resource or
mineral reserve. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a
current mineral resource or mineral reserve as defined in NI 43-101, and
therefore the historical estimate should not be relied upon.
