Weststar Resources Corp. ("Weststar") (TSX VENTURE:WER) is pleased to report the
commencement of exploration work on the Axe Porphyry Copper-Gold Property (the
"Property") by Xstrata Copper Canada ("Xstrata"). The Property is located
approximately 20 kilometers north of Princeton, British Columbia. The Property
is a copper-gold porphyry system which Weststar optioned to Xstrata earlier this
year.


Xstrata is conducting the phase one work program on the Property. This first
phase of work is to get the Property drill ready with the goal of expanding the
known mineralized zones. Xstrata crews are conducting geological mapping, soil
sampling and line cutting. The lines will be used to conduct a future induced
polarity ("IP") survey on the numerous copper-gold targets which were identified
during previous drilling and geophysics by Weststar . Once this first phase of
work has been completed and the results analyzed, it is expected Xstrata will
then commence a drilling campaign.


"Weststar is very enthusiastic to see the work programs start on the Axe
project", said William Rascan, President. "Xstrata is a major copper producer
with a world class portfolio of copper development projects."


In addition, the Company has granted an aggregate of 2,000,000 stock options to
directors and consultants exercisable until July 9, 2017 at a price of $0.15 per
common share. The granting of these stock options is subject to acceptance by
the TSX Venture Exchange.


The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and accepted by
Thomas Clarke Pr.Sci.Nat., a qualified person and a Director of the Company.
