July 27, 2012 – VANCOUVER, Canada – Urastar Gold Corp. (“Urastar” or the “Company”) (TSX‑V:URS) (FSE: 3U3) (OTCQX: URNRF) is pleased to announce further results from RC drilling at its El Antimonio Property. Urastar has completed over 8000m in 37 holes of reverse circulation (RC) drilling at El Antimonio and plans to complete 10,000m of RC drilling as the major component of phase 1 exploration at El Antimonio. To date results have returned several wide gold bearing intercepts.  Recent results are summarized in the table below.

Urastar President Adrian Robertson, P.Eng., comments “We’re extremely pleased with the results of the phase 1 exploration at El Antimonio this year. Taken in the context of the low cutoff grades of the producing mines in the area – in the neighborhood of 0.15g/t gold, and the fact there was virtually no prior exploration on Urastar’s claims at El Antimonio, the program has been a great success. We plan on using the remaining 2000 metres budgeted for phase 1 exploration to revisit the areas of the deposit that have returned the best results. That gives us an excellent chance for further success with the drill bit as well as the opportunity to expand on the known mineralization in those zones, which is currently open in all directions and at depth.”

Note: The above results are based on drill cutting samples that were submitted to ALS Minerals in Hermosillo for preparation.  Sample analysis was done at ALS Minerals inNorth Vancouver,Canadafor gold by the Fire Assay method on 30 gram subsamples with AAS finish.  ALS is an independent ISO certified commercial laboratory.  Quality control included monitoring results of certified reference standards, duplicates and blank samples submitted with the samples.  Intervals are measured down the hole and may not represent true thickness.
