Gold-silver bearing quartz veins at Root Spring are hosted within a volcanic sequence believed to be equivalent to that hosting the mineralization at the nearby Rochester mine. Veins are exposed for at strike-length of 1.2km and are up to at least 4.5m thick. The mineralization occurs along a northwest-trending range-front fault zone, with the exposed veins surrounded by valley-fill alluvial cover. Recently-completed geophysics indicates that the veins extend well beyond outcrop under the alluvial cover. As reported on March 21, 2012, recent sampling by Brocade returned values reaching 1,420 g/t Ag and 7.91 g/t Au over 1.15 metres and grab samples of 635 g/t Ag and 8.8 g/t Au. Mineralization also locally occurs in the poorly-exposed wallrocks, which are silicified and contain quartz-vein stockworks.

Scott Weekes, President & CEO of Redstar, stated: “Redstar is very pleased with Brocade’s aggressive program at Root Spring, beginning with the surface sampling demonstrating the high quality of the gold-silver mineralization, through the geophysical program that has shown extensions under cover, and now with the drilling program. We look forward to their continued commitment to the project and the results of the drilling.”

Robert (Bob) Biagioni, President and CEO of Brocade stated: “We are extremely excited about this year’s Root Spring drill program as we are looking to build upon impressive surface rock sample results and test several resistivity anomalies identified during our 2011 program. Our drill program is designed to evaluate the vein system over 1.2 kilometres of its exposed trend. It will also investigate several high priority resistivity anomalies that suggest the system continues for hundreds of metres under alluvial cover to the northwest and southeast and that additional mineralized veins and silicified zones may occur to the southwest.”

Redstar Root Spring Property Option

Under terms of the option agreement between Brocade and Redstar, Brocade can earn a 70% interest in the Root Spring property by spending $3.5 million on exploration, issuing 500,000 shares and paying $200,000 to Redstar by Dec. 31, 2014. The property is subject to an underlying NSR agreement between Redstar and AngloGold Ashanti North America Inc.

About Redstar Gold Corp.

Redstar has fourteen gold projects in Nevada, the Unga project in Alaska and the Newman Todd project in the Red Lake district, Ontario. 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 20^th century. The Newman Todd project contains a 2 km-long corridor of high-grade gold vein 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 2011. In Nevada, several projects are undergoing active exploration by partners including Newmont Mining Corp.
