WestStar Resources Corp.: Phase One Exploration Underway at La Paloma

WestStar Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WER) (the "Company" or "West Star") is
pleased to announce that field crews from APEX Geoscience Ltd. ("APEX") have
commenced phase one of exploration work on the La Paloma property (the
"Property"). APEX is conducting the first phase of exploration as recommended by
Snowden Industry Mining Consultants Ltd. ("Snowden"). The work program covers
the entire Property. 


The work program consists of geological mapping, ground based magnetic and
induced-polarization ("IP") geophysics as well as rock, soil and stream
sampling. Geological mapping has revealed a number of areas immediately to the
north and south of main mine adits where the vein zone has been historically
exposed in open cuts. These targets are being channel and chip sampled. It is
hoped these outcrops will provide WestStar with true widths of the vein zone.
Field crews have also mapped and sampled historical workings without any
evidence of previous sampling. 


Work also includes a full compilation of the historical mine plans and
acquisition of high resolution satellite imagery to aid in the production of a
digital elevation model (DEM). At the end of this work program the Company will
have a 3D model developed to integrate the old mine workings, geophysical
surveys, sampling as well as the results of a thorough geological mapping
campaign. This 3D model will guide the Company in next phase of work, a 3,000
metre diamond drilling program. 


The Property concessions are located approximately 70 kilometers west of the
city of Guadalajara in the State of Jalisco, Mexico and comprise 160 hectares.
The Property lies at the very southern end of the Sierra Madre Occidental
physiographic province. 


History of the La Paloma Property 

A preliminary engineering assessment of underground tunnel stability will be
completed concurrently with the surface exploration. 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.

on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those
in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include unsuccessful
exploration results, changes in metals prices, changes in the availability of
funding for mineral exploration, unanticipated changes in key management
personnel and general economic conditions. Mining is an inherently risky
business. Accordingly the actual events may differ materially from those
