Weststar Resources Corp. (WER: TSX-V) is focused on a advancing the high-grade, past-producing gold and silver mine, known as La Paloma, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.  The Company has the right to acquire an 80% interest in the 160-hectare property which includes the past producing mine, 1.3 km mineralization zone and newly discovered parallel zone.  Weststar also holds three gold properties in the Yukon (Klondike) and Northwestern Ontario.

La Paloma Property - Epithermal Gold and Silver Mineralization

In compliance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), Snowden Industry Mining Consultants Ltd. ("Snowden") completed a report after a site visit and sample collection to support the opinion of mineral occurrence. During its site visit, Snowden collected samples from outcrops and structures found on the Property. Representing the area being evaluated, samples were taken across structures with a conscious effort made to include the full width of the structure of interest.

Upon delivery of the results of the study, WestStar was optimistically pleased and further inclined to exercise its option upon receiving sample assays, which returned high-grade values of up to 49.20 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 385 g/t silver. ALS Chemex Laboratories located in North Vancouver, B.C. analyzed the samples collected by Snowden, and confirmed presence of gold and silver mineralization. This analysis was included in Snowden's report, which also concluded that the La Paloma concessions host epithermal style mineralization and importantly deemed the property as a "property of merit".

At the time of the report, Snowden deemed the property under-explored, and recommends that should it exercise its option to acquire 80% of the La Paloma property, WestStar undertake a phased exploration program of mapping, geophysics and drilling. The estimated cost to be in the order of $1.367 million over two phases, with Phase 1 at $495,000 and Phase 2 at $872,000, which would include 10 drill holes.

British Columbia Axe Property

The property was acquired in the 1960s by Adonis Mines Ltd., who commenced exploration for porphyry copper style of mineralization. Major exploration programs were completed by Adonis, Amax Exploration Inc., and Cominco Ltd. during the 1970s and early 1980s. In total, 185 holes, totalling some 14,000 meters were drilled during this period. Amax provided the initial resource estimate in 1971, followed by estimates of Adonis in 1972 and 1973. The resource area of the property has been continuously held under title since 1967. Cominco purchased the property in 1980 and abandoned and relocated the existing claims. Cominco sold the claims to a Vernon syndicate in 1994. The Vernon syndicate sold the claims to Bearclaw in 2003, who completed short drill hole testing in one of the zones for to study the potential of oxide copper in 2004.

Ontario - Sifton Property

The property is north of Rainy River's Richardson township in Northwestern Ontario, approximately 162 kilometres south of Kenora and 418 kilometres west of Thunder Bay. The property has tremendous infrastructure -- year-round road access and power lines in close proximity, and the railway is located 21 kilometres to the south of the property. Gold reserves on the Rainy River Resources property were reported in Stockwatch news dated March 2, 2010, as 56,833,000 tonnes at 1.3 grams per tonne gold indicated (2.37 million ounces), in addition to 68.93 million tonnes at 1.2 g/t gold inferred (2.66 million ounces). These resources were arrived at using a 0.4 g/t gold cut-off.
