Gold Star Receives Permits for Coronation Sulphur Project

Gold Star Resources Corp. (the \"Company\") (TSX-V: GXX) is pleased to announce that it has received Metallic and Industrial Mineral Permits numbered 9308080562 through 9308080564 from the government of Alberta, Energy Mineral Development and Strategic Resource Division. These permits allow the company to proceed with the necessary steps towards exploration and development of the recently acquired Coronation Sulphur Project. The cumulative area under permit consists of approximately 60,000 hectares located approximately 120 kms south of Edmonton, Alberta.

Updating the Company\'s July 17, 2008 news release, the company has received an update from Agapito Associates Inc. of Colorado, who advise that the preparation of the National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report on the Coronation Sulphur Project is near completion. Sulphur, an essential element, is primarily used to produce sulphuric acid. It is also an essential element used in the production of many basic global products including Diammonium Phosphate or DAP, a common fertilizer. As the demand for food production increases to meet the needs of growing economies in heavily populated portions of the world, in particular Asia, the use of fertilizers to strengthen plant growth and increase crop production is also growing. With the increased demand for fertilizer and components necessary for the production of fertilizer, Sulphur, long relegated to by-product status, is now gaining attention to meet today\'s increased demand. Following other agricultural product demands world wide, Sulphur has seen dramatic increases in both demand and pricing, having risen from $50 per tonne to $650 per tonne in the past 15 months.

The Company is a mineral exploration company based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
