Abbastar Resources Corp. ("Abbastar" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:ABA) is
pleased to announce the results from further drilling on the Talbot Lake gold
project located in northern Ontario, approximately 50km northeast of Pickle
Lake.


On March 30, 2010 the Company announced the results from the first two holes of
the current drill program and is now announcing the results of an additional
seven holes now completed.


Hole # 3, drilled into the Main gold Zone, intersected 9.8 g/t Au over 4.7m from
233.8 to 238.5m within silicified mafic volcanics with 80% quartz veining, and
locally 15 to 20% pyrrhotite, 6 to 8% pyrite and 2 to 3% chalcopyrite. Also,
prior to intersecting this Main Zone in Hole # 3, several samples contained
significant gold values and would give a wider weighted average of 2.8 g/t Au
over 21.0m from 217.5 to 238.5m.


"Drill results from the Talbot Lake project continue to show significant gold
grades and correlate well with previous drilling conducted by Placer Dome,"
commented Donald Gordon, President and CEO. "As the drill program took a pause
for spring break-up, we are looking forward to resuming the program next week to
drill the remaining five or six planned holes".


Holes # 4-8 were drilled between the Main and East Zones to test for continuity
between the two gold zones and at the East Zone. Although mineralized quartz
veining was intersected, only anomalous gold values up to 0.3 g/t were
intersected.


Hole # 9 was drilled to test a favourable exploration target consisting of an IP
anomaly and a magnetic low south of the known Main and East gold zones near the
fold nose of a Banded Iron Formation (BIF). Most known BIF hosted gold deposits,
such as the nearby Musselwhite Mine owned by Goldcorp, display folding as the
dominant gold bearing structural style. Significantly, Hole # 9, discovered a
new area of gold mineralization consisting of strongly altered volcanics with
quartz stringers containing 3-6% pyrite and 1-2% pyrite over a wide area of
anomalous gold values. A total of 38 samples were analyzed from this drill hole
with 25 assaying greater than 100 ppb Au. The highest grade sample yielded 2.5
g/t Au over 1.0m. Additional drilling will be carried out in this area to
determine the full extent of the gold mineralization identified in this Hole #
9.


As announced previously, Hole # 1 intersected the Main Zone from 67.3 to 76.4m
yielding 2.7 g/t Au over 9.1m, including 11.3 g/t Au over 0.5m and Hole # 2
intersected 3.6 g/t Au over 1.5m from 173.1 to 174.6m.


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. 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. (source: Resident Geologist, Ministry of Northern
Development and Mines, Thunder Bay). The historical assays have not been
