Canstar Resources Inc. TSX VENTURE: ROX

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 24, 2008) - The Directors of CANSTAR RESOURCES INC. (TSX VENTURE:ROX) ("Canstar") are pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on the Company's CBS base and precious metal project on the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland. The program is designed to test a number of airborne conductors identified in the recently completed VTEM survey. Drilling will focus on selected airborne conductors as well as the Pastureland base and precious metal showing located on the property. The project covers a belt of volcanic rocks of Proterozoic age which are known to host Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) type mineralization containing economically significant values in copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver. Grab samples from the Pastureland showing assayed 8.9 % zinc, 5.2 % lead, 0.8 % copper, 0.3 g/t gold and 1.4 g/t silver.

Mary March

The adjudication hearing for the Mary March property dispute begins today in St. John's, Newfoundland. Harry J. Hodge, Chairman of Canstar, and David Palmer, President, will be in attendance. The adjudication hearing represents what is expected to be the final step in resolving this longstanding dispute, and a decision is expected early in the New Year. The Company is confident of a favourable outcome to the hearing and is looking forward to resuming work on this flagship property. The discovery of the Mary March deposit by Phelps Dodge in 1999 produced some of the highest-grade base and precious metal diamond drill intersections (9.2m @ 10.33% Zn, 1.62% Pb, 0.66% Cu, 118.1g/t Ag and 4.1 g/t Au) ever achieved in the area surrounding the Buchans mine.
