STOCKS GOOD AND BAD

[Lazytncajun41]

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, Oct 30, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- TRI-STAR HOLDINGS,
INC. (PINKSHEETS: TSHL), a publicly traded company currently on the Over the
Counter, announces Anthony Mellone's visit to COS #1 & #2 with Gordon Graham to
inspect area for security implementation. Scott Spooner, company Geologist,
accompanied Mr. Mellone on their visit to the site. Samples were extracted and
as we speak are being sent to Tucson, where an analyst will determine the
quality and the amount of reserves in the property. Samples that were taken
clearly illustrated fantastic contents of gold, silver, lead and turquoise.

Tri-Star CEO Anthony Mellone stated, "We have now begun operations in Arizona.
This was extremely exciting to watch Mr. Spooner reconfirm what was already
confirmed, but also to have first hand confirmation that everything was
correctly in place for continuous excavation. I was also given a crash course in
mining samples from Mr. Spooner, allowing myself to be much more knowledgeable
when determining the content of the samples. We are also now finalizing the
agreement with Wickenberg and will be testing the property's ore samples soon.
At that point we shall decide which location shows the pr omising sample results,
in which we will ramp up to full scale operation in order to increase revenue
placement for the company. This will add a tremendous value for our shareholder
base and we will continue our pledge to extract and refine gold and other
precious metals as fast as we can."

The Salome Claims COS #1 & #2 are located adjacent to the historic Bunker Hill
and Hercules mines and are estimated to contain over $500,000,000.00 in gold
ore. Management stated last week that samples have already been collected from
both of the properties and are currently being delivered to the assay office in
Tucson, Arizona. In addition to a high concentration gold vein, the properties
are known to have large amounts of silver, copper, and lead, further
diversifying the company's metal interests in line with management's vision of
growth for its metals industry division. New details about the COS mineral
rights claims, including pictures and reports will be updated on the company's
websites www.tristarcorporate.com and www.tristargold.com.
