Mary March Zone
Hole MM-12-23 was designed to twin the Phelps Dodge Discovery Hole MM-294-7, which had intersected high grade massive sulphides over 9.63m with an average grade of 10.1% Zn, 1.68% Pb, 0.64% Cu, 122.1 g/T Ag and 4.2 g/T Au. The hole was collared about one meter from the drill casing of MM-294-7 and was drilled at the same azimuth and inclination. When the Mary March horizon was encountered, downhole surveys indicated the hole had wandered approximately 40m northeast of the MM-294-7 high grade intersection. The geology of MM-12-23 is similar to MM-294-7 above the massive sulphides; but instead of duplicating the results, MM-12-23 intersected a lower grade interval of pyritic massive sulphide over 3.15m averaging 2.24% Zn, 0.48% Pb, 0.04% Cu, 21.02 g/T Ag,0.80 g/T Au. Below the massive sulphides, from 317.85m-341.16m, the Mary March Panel was intruded by numerous late dykes that separate several additional "screens" of strongly sericitic felsic volcanic containing low grade semi-massive pyrite. In every case, the "screens" of semi-massive sulphide is bounded at the upper and basal contacts by faults. Altered felsic volcanics with semi-massive sulphide zones occur at: a) 318.18-318.53m; b) 320.66-321.10m; c) 324.42-327.09m; and d) 331.8-341.16m.
Five exploration holes were located up dip from the Phelps Dodge Discovery Hole MM-294-7 and along strike for 500m to the southwest. Drill hole MM-12-25, a 500m step-out, was collared in the footwall below the Mary March horizon, in strongly altered felsic volcanics. All other holes (MM-12-24, MM-13-26, MM-13-27, MM-13-28) were collared in the hanging wall and intersected the Mary March horizon. In several cases, the high grade massive sulphide, was occluded by a later mafic (diabase gabbro) intrusion.
Hole MM-12-27 was drilled to test the Mary March Panel up-dip from hole MM-294-10 and included a mineralized interval of 19.40m averaging 0.82% Zn, 0.12% Pb, 0.08% Cu. Hole MM-13-28 intersected 6.1m of massive pyrite, up-dip of the high grade intersection in the original Discovery Hole.
The high grade intersection originally found in Discovery Hole MM-294-7 and the preliminary results from Canstar's program on the Mary March and Nancy April Zones are very similar to several satellite zones encountered at Buchans, which were indicative of a strong VMS alteration system and proximal to main ore lenses.
Harry Hodge, Chairman of Canstar Resources, commented, "After more than ten years since the discovery of the original high-grade intersection by Phelps Dodge, Canstar's first phase of exploration on the Mary March Project has been completed and has provided some very encouraging results. Still at the grass roots stage, the Mary March and Nancy April Zones represent a very complex geological system that has the potential to yield potentially economic base metal mineralization. The Company believes that additional comprehensive, systematic exploration programs are warranted for the property and will announce Second Phase exploration plans as soon as they are completed."

Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, project development, reclamation and capital costs of the Company's mineral properties, and the Company's financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as: changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; changes in demand and prices for minerals; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection with the activities of the Company; and other matters discussed in this news release. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements.
