VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 20, 2012) - Redstar Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RGC) ("Redstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional high-grade gold results from the 2012 diamond drill program at the Newman Todd property in Red Lake, Ontario.

Discussion of Results:

The 2012 drill program has seen 7745 metres of drilling and has focused on detailed drilling of the Hinge Zone. Drilling within this 200 metre long section of the Newman Todd Structure ("NTS") has identified a potential fold relationship in the hanging wall contact which is defined by the margin of the large scale hydrothermal alteration of the NTS with overlying less altered rocks (see cross at www.redstargold.com). This style of folding would make an excellent control to the gold mineralization intersected along the entire strike of the NTS. Gold mineralization occurs as silica-sulphide and magnetite replacement zones within the structure along with multi-phase brecciation and iron-carbonate veining.

Drill Highlights: (see Table 1 for a complete list of significant results)

• Hole NT-123 intersects 2.5 metres of 32.65 g/t gold including 158 g/t gold over 0.5 metres
• Hole NT-124 intersects 8.0 metres of 3.80 g/t gold including 18.0 g/t gold over 1.0 metre
• Hole NT-125 intersects 10.0 metres of 9.0 g/t gold including 60.70 g/t gold over 1.0 metre

Exploration Plans: (From Confederation Minerals Ltd. News Release)

"Confederation, through its contractor Pamicon Developments Ltd., has retained Chibougamau Drilling Ltd. of Chibougamau, Quebec, to complete 3,000 metres of drilling in the 2012 program. The Company anticipates that up to an additional 5,000 metres will be contracted, and believes this will provide sufficient geological and geochemical data to form the basis for a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). The Company believes the PEA is critical towards the evolution of the business plan for the Newman Todd property."

R. Bob Singh P.Geo, President of Redstar states, "We are very pleased that our partner is completing the work necessary to produce a PEA. A positive PEA on this project will be a significant step forward in advancing this new high-grade gold discovery. These latest results from within the Hinge Zone area have shown remarkable continuity to the gold system. We look forward to continued excellent results from drilling on this project and are excited to see it taken to the next level."

Exploration work at the Newman Todd project is funded by the operator, Confederation Minerals Ltd. ("Confederation"). Pursuant to an option agreement with Redstar, Confederation can earn a 50% interest in the project by spending $5.0 million on exploration, paying Redstar a total of $250,000, and issuing Redstar 500,000 shares by November 2013. To date Confederation has spent in excess of $5.0 million on exploration on the project, paid Redstar $175,000 and issued Redstar 350,000 shares. Confederation can earn an additional 20% interest by producing a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) by November 2016.

Andrea Diakow P.Geo is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed the technical content of this news release. Core samples from the program were cut in half using a diamond cutting saw and were sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Red Lake, Ontario, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory. All samples were analyzed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 3.0 g/t gold were analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates were routinely inserted into the sample stream as part of Confederation's quality control/quality assurance program.

About Redstar

Redstar has eleven gold projects in Nevada, the Unga project in Alaska and the Newman Todd project in the Red Lake District, Ontario. In Nevada, several projects are undergoing active exploration by partners including Newmont Mining and others. The Unga project in Alaska includes the high-grade Shumagin gold deposit, the Centennial disseminated bulk-tonnage gold deposit and the Apollo-Sitka high-grade gold vein system, which produced approximately 150,000 oz. of gold in the early 20th century. The Newman Todd project contains a 2 km-long corridor of high-grade gold mineralization that is similar to that at the nearby world-class Red Lake Mine and has been the focus of an aggressive drilling campaign in 2012.
