Redstar Intersects New Bulk Tonnage Gold System in Nevada

51.8 Metres Grading 2.02 g/t Gold

08:01 EDT Monday, April 14, 2008

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 14, 2008) - Redstar Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RGC) and International Tower Hill Mines are pleased to announce initial results from drilling at the North Bullfrog Project in southwestern Nevada. Drilling on the Mayflower target has returned broad zones with significant gold mineralization, including 51.8 metres grading 2.02 g/t gold (including 9.1 m grading 7.18 g/t) and 29 metres grading 1.70 g/t gold (including 15.2 m grading 2.87 g/t). These two intervals contain high-grade cores of 1.52 m grading 22.90 g/t and 14.20 g/t, respectively.

Scott Weekes, President of Redstar, stated: "We are very pleased with the results of our first drill program at Mayflower and the initial results indicate the potential to develop a significant, near surface bulk-tonnage resource. A total of six high priority target areas have been identified on the North Bullfrog property and the results to date indicate the potential for the development of a series of deposits within this extensive gold system. At Mayflower, broad, steeply dipping zones of gold mineralization near surface highlight the potential to develop an open pit, bulk tonnage resource. Our partners, International Tower Hill Mines, have taken a very aggressive approach to exploration on the North Bullfrog property and have completed approximately half of the work commitment required to earn their initial 60% interest. Gold Fields has begun work on our two Carlin Trend properties and details of the programs will be announced shortly. The new discovery at North Bullfrog and the joint venture with Gold Fields are important milestones for our Nevada gold exploration goals."

Dr. Jacob Margolis, U.S. Exploration Manager for Redstar, states: "The excellent results on the Mayflower vein system are certainly demonstrating the potential to yield a new Nevada gold resource. This is only 1 of 6 distinct mineralized areas in the large North Bullfrog project, and we are hopeful that other targets will also yield encouraging results. Preliminary work by our joint-venture partner, ITH, indicates that certain units within the volcanic sequence may be preferential hosts to thicker mineralized zones at Mayflower, and we need to continue to follow these ideas. Once all the data from the drilling program are compiled, we look forward to working with ITH in continuing to advance the Mayflower target."

The 2008 drilling program completed 8,422 metres of reverse-circulation drilling in 35 holes. Twenty-four holes totaling 5,953 m have been completed at the Mayflower target, with 11 holes completed at the Air Track Hill target about 3.5 km northwest of Mayflower. Assays have been received for the first 12 Mayflower holes (Table 1). Assays when received from Air Track Hill will be reviewed and announced in the near future.

Results were affected by poor recoveries in a number of holes including holes 7, 8 and 16 that intersected old mine workings and therefore did not test the high grade Mayflower structure. Poor recoveries in hole 11 adjacent to mineralized intervals may have adversely effected the results. The attached section shows the orientation of the drilling and mineralized zone and highlights the near surface open pit potential of the Mayflower system (a high resolution version will be available on Redstar's web site - www.redstargold.com).

The results to date demonstrate the potential for development of a bulk tonnage near surface resource along the Mayflower vein system cored by higher grades (greater than 3 g/t) in a stockwork of steeply-dipping quartz-calcite veins with a broad halo of lower-grade replacement zones. Gold mineralization has been traced historically over 700 m of strike and to 200 m below surface and remains open along strike and at depth. The 2008 drilling program tests the Mayflower system over a strike length of 850 m to a maximum depth of 330 m. The bulk of the vein system is tested to only 150 m below surface. Once assays for all 24 holes are received, work will commence on assessing Mayflower's resource potential and advancing an understanding of the geologic controls to grade distribution. ITH is planning additional drilling in 2008 at Mayflower and other district targets.

The North Bullfrog Project is a joint venture with International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (ITH) in which ITH can earn up to a 70% interest in the project under terms announced in March, 2007. The Project covers approximately 13.5 square km (5.2 square miles) of unpatented and leased patented claims about 10 km (6 miles) north of the open-pit Bullfrog Mine, where Barrick Gold Corporation recovered about 2.3 Moz of gold from 1989 to 1999.

The work program at North Bullfrog was designed by Dr. Jacob Margolis, U.S. Exploration Manager for Redstar Gold Corp., and designed and supervised by Dr. Russell Myers, Vice President of Exploration, Talon Gold (US) LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of ITH responsible for carrying out the Company's exploration programs). Dr. Myers is responsible for the quality control/quality assurance program. Assays reported here are by ALS Chemex, whose quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025:1999. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. Quality control is further assured by the use of international and in-house standards. Finally, representative blind duplicate samples are forwarded to ALS Chemex and an ISO compliant third party laboratory for additional quality control.

On Behalf of the Board,

completed;      strict 250 ppb gold (0.250 g/t) cutoff; some assays are      pending for holes NB-08-13 and 29 but are not expected to      significantly change the results listed and will be posted in      a later news release; holes 8, 9 and 16 passed through historic      workings.  Intervals marked with (i) are separated by or adjacent to intervals with no sample recovered, either due to poor recovery or workings; mineralized intervals are not necessarily true widths, but most holes were drilled to cross mineralization at a high angle.
