VANCOUVER, Aug. 28  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gold Star Resources Corp. (TSX-V; GXX; OTC Bulletin Board: GXXFF; http://www.goldstarresources.com/) today announced the appointment of James W. Dick to its Board of Directors.  Mr. Dick is a professional geologist with 46 years of petroleum industry experience.

Not only is Jim a seasoned geologist, but he was also the lead geologist for Katana Resources, a Canadian public company, which was the last company to explore for oil and gas in Liberia.   Exploration was abandoned due to civil unrest in the 1980's.
