to assist in the exploration and development of the Company's "Albany South
East" Hydrothermal Graphite Property, Ontario ("the Property"). APEX, based in
Vancouver, BC, is a leading mineral geological consulting services firm focused
on the mineral and energy sectors.


APEX has initiated compiling regional airborne geophysical data, historic

Recently, Weststar received TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") approval for
acquisition of the Property, which allows the Company to initiate a work program

ground where they have recently made a significant graphite discovery. 


"We are pleased to have engaged APEX to assist us in the work program at Albany
South East," said William Rascan, President of Weststar. "We feel fortunate to
have one of the only parcels of land with a significant magnetic low in addition
to being proximate to roads, thus eliminating the need for costly helicopter
support."
