Toronto, Ontario - CANSTAR RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: ROX & OTCPK: CSRNF) ('Canstar' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce final 2021 exploration results and the commencement of the 2022 field season on its Golden Baie and Hermitage properties in south-central Newfoundland. Highlights of the 2021 field program on Golden Baie are provided below.

Multiple new gold occurrences identified - 2021 prospecting included the collection of more than 1,600 grab samples, including outcrop samples grading up to 35.5 g/t gold*, located 300 metres ('m') northeast of the 97 West target, and float/boulder samples grading up to 289.4 g/t gold at Skidder, as previously announced. Sampling in new areas identified four new gold occurrences, including Train Hill discovery, an anomalous gold zone spanning 800 m by 50 m.

New drill target generated - Channel sampling from the 97 West target included 11.0 g/t gold over 1.8 m and 10.7 g/t gold over 0.6 m; the Company expects to drill this target in the fall.

Canstar commenced the 2022 field season in May as part of a fully-funded exploration program with a full-year budget of approximately $6 million. The primary objectives of the 2022 exploration program are to:

Expand high-grade gold mineralization at the Kendell prospect - Canstar drilled 36 diamond drill holes (2,920 m) in 2021. Notable near-surface intercepts included 9.6 g/t gold over 7.75 m (GB-21-01) and 11.8 g/t gold over 5.69 m (GB-21-50). An additional 29 diamond drill holes were completed this past winter with assay results pending. Gold mineralization remains open in several directions and additional drilling, aimed at extending gold mineralization, is planned for late summer.

Identify the source of the 289 g/t gold 'Skidder boulder' - An angular boulder containing visible gold and grading 289 g/t gold was discovered in 2021 approximately 1.2 kilometres ('km') north-northeast of the Kendell prospect (see news release dated November 11, 2021). Based on geophysical data, glaciation studies, and recent till sample results, the Company believes that this area likely hosts additional structurally-controlled gold prospects. Additional work is planned to vector in on the source of the Skidder boulder and other grab samples in order to define an area to be drilled later this summer.

Conduct maiden exploration on remote claims - The Golden Baie and Hermitage properties follow major crustal-scale faults and exhibit favourable geology along a strike length of over 150 km. The more remote claims in the southwest portion of the project have had little or no historical gold exploration. The Company has begun helicopter-supported grassroots exploration, which has the potential to extend the current 40 km strike length of anomalous gold at surface (Figure 1).

Note that rock grab samples are selective by nature and values reported may not represent the true grade or style of mineralization across the property.

Canstar's VP Exploration Matthieu Lapointe commented: 'The Canstar exploration team is very excited to be back out in the field to find more gold at Golden Baie. We have already drilled one significant gold prospect at Kendell, but we know from the preponderance of gold anomalies on the Golden Baie project that there are likely multiple sources of gold mineralization on our very large claim block. Our goal is to make additional gold discoveries with the drill bit this year while continuing to build our inventory of future drill targets.'

Drill Target Generation

In early July, the company intends to focus its exploration efforts on the prospective central Golden Baie area (Figure 6), which has excellent access due to the nearby Baie d'Espoir highway. Planned work includes follow up prospecting and potentially scout drilling with a power auger and trenching on the newly discovered SW Kendell target as well as the Skidder area. To advance its drill targets, the Company is planning to acquire up to 10 line-kilometres of Induced Polarization ('IP') on the Kendell, Skidder and 97 West targets. The IP/resistivity data are expected to aid in delineating zones of sulphide enrichment and silicification. The company also intends to acquire Optical and/or Acoustic Televiewer (ATV/OTV) data from select 2021 and 2022 drill holes to gain a better understanding of the veining orientations associated with the gold mineralized zones.

Reconnaissance Drilling in the Skidder Area

The Skidder target is located approximately 1.2 kilometres north-northeast of the Company's Kendell prospect and appears to have a similar style of orogenic gold mineralization. Rock sampling in the target area has defined a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly with outcrop samples containing up to 30.3 g/t gold. Multiple anomalous float rock samples were also found in this area, generally assaying between 1 g/t and 10 g/t gold, and visible gold was noted in two float rocks which assayed 21.7 g/t gold and 289.4 g/t gold. The latter sample is referred to as the 'Skidder boulder' and it is likely to have a nearby bedrock source, based on till analysis and an understanding of regional glaciation. The area is mostly covered by till, and systematic drilling is planned with the aim of locating the source of the Skidder boulder. The exact area to be drilled will be defined once the results of the additional till sampling and aforementioned IP survey have been received and analyzed.

About Canstar Resources Inc.

Canstar Resources has a very experienced technical team and board who are focused on new mineral discoveries in Newfoundland, Canada. Central Newfoundland has emerged as one of the most exciting gold exploration districts due to recent high-grade orogenic gold discoveries along crustal scale fault corridors. The Company's flagship Golden Baie project, comprised of 774 km2 of claims in south-central Newfoundland, has multiple high-grade gold anomalies at surface along 40 km of strike. The Company also holds the Buchans-Mary March project and other mineral exploration properties in Newfoundland. Canstar Resources is based in Toronto, Canada, and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ROX and trades on the OTCPK under the symbol CSRNF.
