December 18, 2012 BARRICK'S TOP SOUTH AMERICAN EXECUTIVE POINTS HIS FINGER AT ABX CANADA EXECUTIVES FOR THE FALSIFICATION OF THE PASCUA LAMA PROTOCOL Mountainstar Gold Inc. (the Company) announces the following with regard to its joint venture with Mr. Jorge Lopehandia in Chile. The following was reported by El Ciudadano, in Chile, on December 6, 2012 from information given by the Company's jurist, Mr. Juan Guillermo Torres. The Company's lawyer, Juan Guillermo Torres, in Chile, filed for an international warrant via the Fiscalia Central Norte of Santiago, to be presented to corporate management of Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX ), accused in Chile of falsification of the Pascua Lama Protocol, subscribed between the nations of Chile and Argentina, extending to the misuse of the Pascua Lama Protocol in Canada and worldwide financial markets. "The Canadian mining giant Barrick, is involved in a fictional project, to include mining claims over which they have no title, referring to specific Tesoros concessions," expressed Torres. "Mining properties," stated Torres, "were registered in the name of Don Hector Unda Llanos and therefore belonged neither to Barrick Gold Corporation, Minera Nevada SpA, or any of the subsidiaries of the company in our country. Similarly, the inclusion in the Pascua Lama Protocol means a flagrant violation of the judgment given in the case Docket No. C-1912-2001 by the 14th Civil Court of Santiago, which granted an injunction from June 2001 to date, prohibiting the celebration of acts and contracts regarding these same territories protecting Mina Pascua areas of Chile, namely TESOROS UNO 1 al 30 through to TESOROS DOCE 1 al 5, superposed over titles duly registered in 1996 as "Amarillos Sur" and "Amarillos Norte" by Chilean-Canadian Mr. Jorge Lopehandia Cortes." According to legal documents filed with Fiscalia Centro Norte, it was requested that specific managers and directors of Barrick testify regarding the crime of "falsification of public deed and / or malicious use of the International Protocol Pascua Lama." This treaty was approved by Ricardo Lagos Escobar and authorized by Soledad Alvear, serving President of Chile and Foreign Affairs Minister at the time, respectively. Neither the Canadian National Stock Exchange nor the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
