Weststar Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WER) (the "Company" or "Weststar") is
pleased to announce that it and Bearclaw Capital Corp. ("Bearclaw") have entered
into an arms-length Letter of Intent dated August 23, 2013 (the "LOI") with
Copper Mountain Mining Corp. ("Copper Mountain") (TSX:CUM), a British Columbia
corporation, whereby Copper Mountain will, subject to due diligence, enter into
an exclusive option agreement to acquire up to 75% undivided interest in and to
25 mineral claims located in British Columbia, Canada, known as the Axe Property
(the "Property"). Weststar and Bearclaw currently hold the property as a joint
venture (the "Axe JV"), in which the parties hold 70% and 30% interests,
respectively. 


Under the terms of the LOI, Copper Mountain can earn a 51% interest in the Axe
Property by incurring CDN$3,000,000 of expenditures in exploration activities on
the Property by the end of the four year Earn-in Period and paying to the
Company and Bearclaw (collectively, in proportion to their Participating
Interests in the Axe JV): $5,000 immediately upon signing of LOI / 60 day due
diligence period; $25,000 on the Commencement Date; and $50,000, $100,000,
$150,000 and $200,000 on the succeeding anniversaries of the Commencement Date.


If Copper Mountain exercises the Option, a joint venture will be formed between
Copper Mountain, the Company and Bearclaw, with Copper Mountain holding a 51%
Participating Interest and the Company and Bearclaw holding 34.3% and 14.7%
Participating Interests, respectively. Upon exercise of the Option, Copper
Mountain will have the option to acquire an additional 24% undivided interest in
the Property (increasing its interest to 75%, absent other adjustments) by
either completing a feasibility study on the Property or incurring no less than
$12,000,000 in expenditures on the Property and providing the Company and
Bearclaw with evidence of such expenditures. In the event Copper Mountain
exercises the second option and acquires an undivided 75% interest in the
Property, then the Company will have a 17.5% and Bearclaw a 7.5% Participating
Interest in the Property respectively.


The Property

The Property is an advanced stage project with known porphyry copper
mineralization, which has been the subject of numerous drill programs since the
1960s. The Property consists of 25 mineral claims (4,983 hectares), located in
the Similkameen Mining Division, 20 km north of Princeton, British Columbia. The
Property was acquired in the 1960s by Adonis Mines Ltd., which commenced
exploration for porphyry copper style of mineralization. Major exploration
programs were completed by Adonis, Amax Exploration Inc. and Cominco Ltd. during
the 1970s and early 1980s. In total, 185 holes, comprising some 14,000 metres
were drilled during this period. Amax provided the initial historic resource
estimate in 1971, followed by estimates of Adonis in 1972 and 1973. The main
area of the Property has been continuously held under title since 1967. A
fourteen-hole diamond drill program was completed by Weststar in 2006 and 2007
totalling 3,401 metres. In 2012, Weststar had optioned the property to Xstrata
Copper Canada ("Xtrata"). Xstrata spent over $475,000 in 2012 expenditures
before terminating the agreement due to corporate restructuring. "Xstrata 2012
Axe Report" is available on Weststar's website.
