Drillers selected for Phase 6 diamond exploration program

2005-08-23 09:00 ET - News Release

BELLINGHAM, WA, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - North Star Diamonds, Inc.(NQB Pink Sheets: NSDM) is pleased to announce that an agreement for drilling Phase 6 has been reached with Friesen Drillers Ltd. (www.friesendrillers.com).

Friesen Drillers Ltd. is a Manitoba company which has been in business since 1892 and employs the latest technology in drilling. The drilling program will employ a technology similar to RC drilling (Reverse Circulation). The main advantages of this drilling technology is the speed by which the hole can be drilled and a greater amount of material which can be brought to the surface. Friesen Drillers Ltd. is less than 50 miles from the drill site, therefore mobilization and demobilization of the drill is quicker and less costly.

The previously announced geophysicist and drillers are presently contracted on other projects and are unable to work on this project at this time.

Walter Stunder will be traveling to the drill site in about two weeks to begin drilling.
