             Tri-Star Resources plc ("Tri-Star" or the "Company") 
                            SPMP Operational Update 
 
 
Tri-Star (AIM: TSTR), the mining and minerals processing company, announces 
that it has received an operational update from Strategic & Precious Metals 
Processing LLC ("SPMP") in Oman, in which Tri-Star has a 40% shareholding. 
 
The Company has been informed that liquid metal has been produced in the 
reduction furnace at SPMP's antimony and gold facility.  However, due to a 
technical issue with the refractory lining it has not been possible to tap 
metal from the furnace. SPMP management is investigating possible improvements 
to the design which is expected to take several weeks to implement.
