Archean Star Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ASP) ("Archean" or the "Company")
announces that the first diamond drill hole has been completed, and the second
diamond drill hole in the current diamond drill program, TB007, is now underway
on the Turnberry zone at the Gnaweeda Gold Project ("Gnaweeda") at Meekatharra
in the Murchison Gold District, Western Australia.


Drill hole TB006 was completed to a depth of 326.9 meters and is an
approximately 50 meter step out hole from diamond drill hole TB003 where the
Company intersected 3 meters grading 8.27 g/t Au and 16 meters grading 2.34 g/t
Au and Teck Australia Pty, Ltd, ("Teck") hole GNRC009 that intersected 4 meters
at 17.77 g/t Au. Hole TB007 is collared 50 meters east of TB003 and is targeting
down dip of the supergene enriched zone of 16 meters at 2.34 g/t Au encountered
in TB003. The collar of the third diamond drill hole, TB008 is located
approximately 50 meters north of TB006.


In diamond drill hole TB006, mineralization begins approximately 150 meters down
hole and consists of significant quartz veining along with pyrite that is
present over much of the same interval, locally up to 5%, and is notably
abundant in the lower parts of the hole. Gold intersections in both TB003 and
GNRC009 are associated with pyrite.


The current drill program is on the southernmost of the three earlier identified
higher grade gold zones within the main 2.5 km x 750 m Turnberry zone.


The TB006 drill core is currently being logged, split, and sampled, after which
the samples are to be submitted for assay to the ALS Chemex laboratory in Perth,
Western Australia. Assay results will be released as received.
