HENDERSON, Nev., June 6, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- International Star, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ILST) announces follow-up comments from Zereko Nevada regarding the recently completed assay test results from the Detrital Wash property.
MINING ENGINEER'S PERSPECTIVE
Transcript dated: June 2, 2005
"The detrital wash basin shows great promise. From a geological perspective the alluvial detritus appears to be derived from metamorphosed minerals of Precambrian origin (surrounding hills). Metamorphic minerals identified are of suites with which precious metals can be associated. Potassium feldspar is very favorable for association with gold while chlorite and serpentine alterations are a perfect match for platinum group elements. These minerals have been positively identified. In addition gold, silver, platinum and palladium have been identified, by assay, as reporting in the detritus. Sufficient work, with positive results, has been completed such that the project warrants moving forward, with confidence. It is anticipated to confirm a very substantial commercial and economic precious metals deposit. Such a find will, no doubt, bring about a 'next generation' impact to this historically famous mining district."
-Karel R. Pieterse, P. Eng., Zereko Nevada
NEXT PHASE UNDER CONSIDERATION
Encouraged by the recent results and Mr. Pieterse's perspective, the company is currently developing with Zereko Nevada plans for the continuation of the Detrital Wash Project.
ADDITIONAL FUNDING
International Star will continue to pursue means to expand its exploration activities on both its Detrital Wash and Wikieup properties, either by seeking additional capital through loans or private placements of its securities, or possibly entering joint venture arrangements with one or more other, more substantial companies. However, there are no arrangements now in place to further fund the company by any of these means, and the outcome of the discussions with other entities cannot be predicted. If the company raises capital by selling its equity stock, the proportionate ownership of existing shareholders will be diminished.
