Alaska Drilling program targeting completion early October

(OTCBB: FSRFF) (Frankfurt: FU2)

VANCOUVER, Oct. 1 /CNW/ - First Star Resources Inc. (TSX-V: FS) ("First Star") is pleased to provide a overall corporate update, as well as the progress being made, on its current drilling program targeting the high grade gold zones, within the LMS property, recently joint ventured from International Tower Hill Mines, (ITH-TSX).

The company's diamond core drilling program that commenced early September on the LMS claim block located in the Goodpaster Mining district, has successfully completed two of the holes planed in the program. The first hole was successfully drilled to a depth of approximately 1,160 feet. The second hole was recently completed and was drilled to its target depth of 1500 feet. The core from both hole 1 and 2 is currently being processed by ALS Chemex Labs in Fairbanks for assaying. The third hole has been drilled to a depth of approximately 670 feet to date and is expected to be completed in early October. The objectives of the program was to use oriented diamond core drilling to assess the existing Camp Zone on LMS in an effort to 1) expand the existing NI 43-101 inferred resource of 167,000 oz Au, calculated for the gold-bearing graphitic quartzite breccia, and 2) to complete additional definition drilling on the known high grade gold vein zones in the lower gneiss unit. Along with the high-grade veins, this area is known as the Camp Zone which is situated at the southeast end of a 6 km long, northwest-trending zone of aligned surface geochemical samples containing anomalous gold and lesser silver and copper.

The LMS claim block currently being drilled is located in the Goodpaster Mining District of Alaska and consists of 92 State of Alaska mining claims covering 61 square kilometres. Gold mineralization is believed to be intrusive related, similar to the Pogo Gold Mine (+ 5 million ounces) operated by Sumitomo Metal Mining Pogo LLC, located 40 kilometres to the northeast.

The technical information in this news release was reviewed by Dr. Karsten Eden, Vice President Exploration First Star Resources, who is a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.

In addition First Star has completed the definitive agreement regarding the joint venture with International Tower Hill, on two known gold bearing properties located in the Tintina Gold belt of Alaska.

The two properties, the WP and LMS, joint ventured from International Tower Hill Mines have had several millions of dollars spent on them to date successfully defining a NI 43-101 resource and a very promising high grade Gold bear zone, which is the focus of the current drilling program. Assays are expected later in the 4th quarter of 2010.

The Tintina Gold belt hosts major gold deposits and several mines, such as; Fort Knox Mine-3.7 million oz gold, the Donlin Creek deposit 33.5 million oz. gold , the Livengood deposit, 8.1 million oz gold, White Gold deposit 1.4 million oz gold (Recently taken over by Kinross Gold Corp), and the Pogo Mine 5.6 million oz gold deposit, which is adjacent to First Stars West Pogo property, The LMS hosts this year's main drilling targets expected to be completed by October of this year.
