Abbastar Resources Corp. ("Abbastar or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ABA) is pleased to announce the start of a first phase 5000 metre drill program on the Talbot Lake gold project located in northern Ontario. Abbastar has the right to earn a 100% interest from Denison Mines Corp, subject to a 2% NSR, upon expenditures of $7,000,000 over 8 years.

Over the last few weeks Abbastar has been engaged in positive communications and relationship building with the Eabametoong First Nation. From these meetings the Company and Chief and Council have committed to a mutually beneficial, co-operative and collaborative working relationship with respect to the first phase drill program at Talbot Lake. The Company is focused and committed to Northwestern Ontario and has always accepted responsibility for strong community relations.

"We agree to support the first phase drill program and wish them all the best in their exploration at Talbot Lake."

The Talbot Lake gold project hosts the "Main Zone" gold deposit which was discovered by Placer Dome in 1985 and acquired by Denison Mines in 1998. It consists of an East-West striking and vertically dipping quartz vein containing visible gold, pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Channel sampling by Denison yielded a weighted average grade of 13.8 g/t Au over a width of 3.3m. One channel over a width of 1.8m yielded a spectacular value of 120.0 g/t Au. The gold deposit extends for a depth of approximately 200m and remains open. The following are some significant drill hole intersections by Placer Dome from the "Main Zone"; 16.4 g/t Au over 7.6m, 37.2 g/t Au over 2.5m, 26.9 g/t Au over 2.9m, 7.5 g/t Au over 7.5m.
