    In the Heart of Two Giants

    The Bale: Why two major gold producers may

    bid for this gold explorer

    Surrounded by two large gold producers, Urastar Gold Corp. owns the last properes within

    a special gold district in Mexico that are not controlled by major mining companies. The well-

    known miners Agnico-Eagle and Alamos Gold have secured all properes around the Mulatos

    Gold Mine - solely Urastar is le operang prospecve projects in that district and even in theheart of those two majors. How valuable properes near the Mulatos Mine can be demonstra-

    ted Grayd Resources in 2011 which company was taken over by Alamos for around $255 milli-

    on thus paying more than $200 per ounce in the ground - a record price for this part of Mexico

    Why this high price? Well, the Mulatos Mine is among the world`s gold mines with the highest

    prot margins. The producon costs are below $400 per ounce, whereas the industry average

    is geng close to $1,000. Hence, a potenal take-over or property acquision may be around

    the corner, especially when considering the latest press-release dated August 3: Urastar is

    exploring strategic alternaves available to the Company, including a potenal sale. The

    Board of Directors intends to consider the full range of available opons. Also, the Companyis pleased to announce that it has engaged the services of Dahlman Rose & Company, LLC

    of New York, as its exclusive nancial advisor to assist in the evaluaon of these opons.

    Evaluaon & Prognosis

    Vancouver-based Urastar Gold Corp.

    (URS) is a resource exploraon com-pany with 3 gold exploraon projects

    (El Anminio, El Jabali and La Juliana)

    in Mexicos Sierra Madre Gold Belt,

    which is one of the richest gold belts

    in the world with several major mines

    and discoveries within the last few ye-

    ars. Another asset is the Black Point

    property in the prolic Bale Moun-

    tain-Eureka District (Nevada, USA). All

    4 properes have records of past pro-

    ducon and are located in world-class

    mining camps.

    Formerly, URS was a capital pool com-

    pany compleng its qualifying transac-

    on on June 30, 2009.

    Aer detailed review of all public

    available informaon, we rate the

    stock of Urastar Gold Corp. as underva-

    lued. The reasons are simple.

    First of all, a management team was installed that is highly experienced

    in terms of Mexico. Chief geologist Bill Reed has more than 40 years of

    experience in the mining industry, especially Mexico, where he was co-

    founder and chief geologist of Paramount Gold & Silver Corp. (TSX, NYSE:

    PZG; market cap: C$360 million) today developing more than 7 million

    gold ounces equivalents. Prior to that, he was the chief geologist (Me-

    xico) for Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL; market cap: $1.3 billion). Adrian Ro-

    bertson (President & CEO of URS) is a professional engineer and worked,

    among others, for Vale and Teck.

    Hence, it does not surprise that such a Mexico-experienced manage-

    ment team has secured such prospecve exploraon properes in the

    prolic Sierra Madre Gold Belt.

    Notably, there exist market rumors that senior mining companies may

    have an interest in taking over URS or forming a joint-venture. The readeris cauoned that the exploraon results of the company along with the

    respecve analysis of the author are solely preliminary in nature (ini-

    ang coverage) and are not conclusive evidence of the likelihood of the

    occurrence of an economic/mineable deposit at this stage as further ex-

    ploraon is required by the company for a more in-depth interpretaon

    by the analyst during the next months. However, the recent drilling suc-

    cess made by URS may already lead to a take-over or property acquisi-

    on by a senior mining company as the El Jabali and La Juliana properes

    are situated within mining claims of Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI; market

    cap.: C$1.9 billion) and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX: AEM; market cap.:

    C$7.4 billion). Furthermore, URS has a market value of solely C$14 milli

    on which may be considered a bargain by one (or both) of those neigh-

    bors entering the bidding that may have already started or may start in

    the near future as the latest press-release (08/03/12) has demonstrated

    as having engaged Dahlman Rose as exclusive nancial consultant.

    Last year, Alamos took over Grayd Resources for around C$250 as also

    operang a prospecve project close to the Mulatos Mine.

    The largest Mexican gold mine, La Herradura, is located only 50 km from

    the El Anmonio property and where gold is mined with an average mi

    neralizaon of only 0.78 g/t gold (cut-o: 0.33 g/t). Thanks to the possi

    bility of heap leaching, La Herradura is one of the most cost-eecve and

    thus most protable gold mines in the world. Close to La Herradura are

    3 other gold mines that operate with average mineralizaons of around

    0.6 g/t. Since El Anmonio is located next to a highway and close to bes

    mining infrastructure, the chances seem good that a cost-eecve openpit operaon may start here as well, especially when considering that the

    deposit is strongly oxidized making possible heap leaching.

    We set our price target for the next 6 months at a minimum of C$0.55

    (+38%) thus giving the company a market cap of around C$20 million

    with 34.5 million shares issued and outstanding. Should the current

    drilling successes be even improved over the next weeks and months

    a much higher market valuaon is seen to be not unlikely, especially if

    market prices for gold and silver stabilize.

    The Gold Report Interview with Jay Taylor (7/18/12):

    There are four factors that lead me to consider Urastar Gold Corp. to

    be a very worthy speculaon for investors who can aord to e up ca-pital for an undetermined length of me and who understand the risk/

    reward tradeo for junior exploraon stocks. First, key personnel form

    the foundaon for a strong management team. Secondly, I believe there

    is a fairly high likelihood that the companys Anmonio property in Me-

    xico can host a near-surface, mulmillion-ounce gold deposit. Thirdly,

    I believe that various people who informally stand behind this project

    have deep pockets and as such increase the probability that the lights

    will be kept on even if market condions become even more strained.

    Lastly, the current market cap makes this a very low-cost speculaon.

    . .the upside could be a factor of 10, 20, or 30 mes the downside risk

    with exploraon success and a turn in the markets. Its dicult to nd

    beer A-4 risk/reward opportunies than Urastar Gold at this me.

    Jay Taylor in Gold, Energy & Tech Stocks (6/29/12):

    Urastar Gold Corp. is in the midst of a 10,000-m drill program and

    results reported thus far have been very encouraging, given the fact

    that sub-1 g/t deposits can be highly protable at this point in me,

    especially for projects like the El Anmonio that are located with good

    infrastructure and easy access. The potenal for the El Anmonio

    property to become another mulmillion-ounce deposit within the

    Mojave-Sonora megashear appears to be good, given the widespread,

    near-surface mineralizaon on this 12,500-ha property...the presence

    of extensive zones of alteraon and fracturing, as well as mineralized

    veins over a large area, could provide the kind of massive tonnage that

    could make for a very protable open-pit gold mine. Also, on a posive

    note, there is evidence that this deposit would be largely oxidized and

    thus most likely amenable to heap-leach extracon.

    Morning Coee (6/14/12):

    Urastar Gold Corp. released results for its reverse-circulaon drill pro

    gram on the El Jabali property in Mexico, including several intercepts

    of near-surface, high-grade gold. The highlight holes include: LJB-12

    03, 59m grading 1.462 g/t Au from 7.667.1m, including 24m at 3.324

    g/t Au from 13.738.1m and 112.8m grading 0.432 g/t Au and from

    0112.8m; and LJB-12-04, 13.7m grading 1.173 g/t Au from 19.833.5m

    and 53.3m grading 0.396 g/t Au and from 4.657.9m.

    Jordan Roy-Byrne, The Daily Gold Premium (4/22/12):

    Urastar Gold Corp. is just geng things started, so expect to hear a lo

    more in the coming months. . .the backdrop is compelling; the company

    was founded by a group that has had previous success and has con

    sistently been able to raise money. El Anmonio is located in a highly

    prospecve area and region. . .obviously, the mineralizaon is there

    (old workings, extensive occurrences of oxidized rock); Urastar needs

    to discover the best areas and expand from there.

    EL JABILA & LA JULIANA

    El Jabali and La Juliana are highly prospecve gold exploraon properes

    in the largest epithermal precious metals region of the world - the Sierra

    Madre Gold Belt. Over the last 400 years, some 40 million ounces of gold

    and 2 billion ounces of silver were mined in the Sierra Madre Occidental

    Range. Over the last few years, this district has become an area of global

    focus and immense opportunity in the search for new precious metal

    deposits.

    Both properes are located only approx. 7 km from Alamos Golds ag-ship Mulatos Mine which, in 2010, reported reserves of 2.4 million oun-

    ces gold (proven + probable) and is one of the lowest cost heap-leach

    gold mines in the world. Gold mineralizaon at El Jabali and La Juliana is

    similar to that found at the Mulatos Mine.

    El Jabali consists of a single exploraon concession covering an area of

    approx. 70 ha, contains several past producing mines including La Dura

    and Zaragosa and is located only 2 km from La Juliana (704 ha), which is

    also oponed by URS and where small-scale surface mining took place

    in the past.

    Current Exploraon

    EL JABALI:

    Mapping and sampling work carried out in 2011 idened numerous tar-

    gets in addion to the potenal extension of the historic mineral zones

    of the La Dura Mine. Preliminary exploraon by URS has returned values

    from trace to 30 g/t gold in grab samples. Nave gold has also been iden-

    ed in outcrop on the southern extension of the La Dura Mine Trend.

    URS completed an 805 m reverse circulaon (RC) drill program in May

    2012 with a total of 10 drill holes, 2 of which were abandoned and twin-

    ned in order to reach the target depth. The inial holes were drilled to

    test for extensions of mineralizaon to the north (north of the open-pit)

    and south on the El Jabali Mine Trend. While dicult ground condions

    prevented half of the drill holes from reaching their target depth, only 2

    of the 8 holes failed to intersect signicant gold mineralizaon. On June

    13, URS released assays (see table on next page with best holes).

    LA JULIANA:

    URS has reviewed the results of past work and has completed conrma-

    on eld work and construcon of a geological model.

    An 850 m RC drill program was completed in early 2012 resulng in si-

    gnicant new gold intersecons on the La Juliana deposit. This program

    focused on historic areas of gold producon, interpreng historic drilling

    and vectoring in on possible mineralized conduits. New assay highlights

    include 6 m grading 1.9 g/t gold.

    Previous drill programs employed convenonal RC and core drilling tech-

    nics. These technics have proven to be ineecve for capturing the high

    grade gold mineralizaon in the Mulatos district.

    URS is employing modern centre-face sampling RC drilling at El Jabali

    and La Juliana. Centre face sample RC has been proven very eecve in

    the Mulatos district by Agnico Eagle (formerly Grady) and Alamos Gold.

    Past Exploraon & Mining

    EL JABALI:

    In 1994, Francisco Gold Corp. undertook a campaign of mapping, soil and

    rock geochemistry, geophysics, and drilling.

    This work shows the presence of large areas of silica altered and brec-

    ciated rhyodacite with associated coincident gold, anmony and lead

    geochemical anomalies.

    Drilling consisted of 1,218 m with 12 holes. The area of historic workings,

    anomalies and gold showings is 1 km in strike length.

    LA JULIANA:

    Modern exploraon at the La Juliana property includes previous pro-

    grams of mapping, soil and rock geochemistry, geophysics and drilling

    by Chesapeake Gold Corp. (2002-2003), Dasher Exploraon Ltd. (2004

    2005) and Pediment Exploraon (2007). This work shows the presence

    of large areas of silica altered and brecciated rhyodacite with associated

    coincident gold, anmony and lead geochemical anomalies.

    Total drilling to date amounts to 3,668 m with 32 holes, of which 5 holes

    (515 m) were cored. The area of anomalies and gold showings is 2 km in

    strike length.

    HistoryEL JABALI:

    El Jabali has produced gold from small scale operaons since rst being

    discovered by Jesuit priests in 1635.

    Between 1990-2003, the property changed hands a number of mes

    Previous owners included Kenneco and Placer Dome.

    In 2003, Alamos and Naonal Gold merged to form Alamos Gold Inc.

    (AGI). AGI, through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary MON, owns

    100% interest in the Salamandra property. The Salamandra property sur-

    rounds the El Jabali property, which in turn covers the La Dura satellite

    gold system.

    In total, Alamos Salamandra property consists of the Mulatos deposit

    (145,000160,000 oz gold producon expected in 2011) and 8 satellite

    gold systems known as El Halcon, La Yaqui, Los Bajios, El Jaspe, La Dura

    (covered by the El Jabali property), Cerro Pelon, El Victor/San Carlos and

    El Carricito. Alamos connues to very successfully explore and develop

    these addional gold resources throughout these claims.

    The El Jabali property was acquired by loery. An exploraon program

    of rock chip sampling and limited drilling was done on the property prior

    to the loery. Rock chip sample results from this program are signicant

    with gold values ranging up to 28 g/t Au.

    LA JULIANA:

    Since colonial mes, this area has been aracve for gold mineraliza-

    on. Gold mineralizaon is hosted by all the sequences of volcanic and

    volcano-sedimentary rocks correlated with the Tarahumara Formaon.

    The historic mines on the La Juliana property are of signicant interes

    for gold exploraon. Historic small scale mining has occurred in severa

    small open-pits which focused on high-grade nave gold in the late stage

    silica veinlets, as well as bulk mining of the silicied rhyodacites in relaon to local and regional fault systems.

    Modern exploraon at the La Juliana prospect includes previous explo-

    raon programs of mapping, soil and rock geochemistry, geophysics, and

    drilling by Chesapeake Gold Corp. (2002-2003), Dasher Exploraon Ltd

    (2004-2005) and Pediment Exploraon (2007).

    The Juliana property consists of 3 concessions and covers an area of ap

    prox. 704 hectares. An area of 300 hectares has been covered by detailed

    exploraon including trenching, geological mapping, soil and rock geo-

    chemistry, IP/Resisvity geophysics and drilling.

    Property Interests

    EL JABALI:

    On November 18, 2010, the Company entered into a Leer of Intent to

    acquire a 100% interest in the El Jabali property. To earn its interest, UR

    is required to make cash payments of $2 million over a 5 year period as

    follows:

    $10,000 upon signing of the leer agreement; (paid)

    Local & Regional Geology

    EL JABALI:

    The property lies within the Sierra

    Madre Occidental Terary volcanic

    terrain and within the Mulatos Mi-

    ning District, which is part of the Si-

    erra Madre Gold Belt.

    Gold mineralizaon is hosted by fractured rhyodacites on the south side

    of a locally dominant rhyolite dome and is similar in habit to that found

    at the Mulatos Mine.

    Alteraon assemblages at Mulatos are typical of high suldaon depo-

    sits with zonaon from distal propylic alteraon to illite to kaolinite to

    dickite/pyrophyllite to pervasive and vuggy silica alteraon. Gold is pre-

    dominantly hosted within silicic alteraon.

    Gold mineralizaon controls are both structural and stragraphic; struc-

    tural zones control silica alteraon and higher-grade gold concentraons,

    and secondary stragraphic control is along ow boundaries and within

    coarse grained volcaniclasc fragmental units.

    The El Jabali property covers a massive, cli-forming, silica-hemate

    altered rhyolite. Massive to banded rhyolite is exposed in the area of

    mineralizaon, on clis to the east of the claim and extending north and

    south of the claim.

    The La Dura (Jabali) hydrothermal system is conguous with another pro-

    spect to the south that is described in the Alamos 2003 Annual Reportas Los Bajios.

    The La Dura satellite gold system is covered by the Jabali claim. In other

    words, the Jabali project is actually a part of Alamos La Dura prospect,

    which was described in their 2003 Annual report as follows:

    The La Dura prospect contains a large area of intense silicic alteraon

    of over 3.5 kilometres in length with several historic gold workings. A

    core concession is not controlled by Alamos. (The core concession is

    the Jabali project).

    The Los Bajios area may be the central part of one large, regional hyd

    rothermal system, with Halcon located in the western poron, La Dura

    to the north, and La Yaqui on the south as lateral, distal equivalents

    The size of the airborne resisvity anomalies and extent of alteraon

    indicates potenal for at least one Mulatos-size deposit within the

    zone.

    LA JULIANA:

    The La Juliana claim lies within the Sierra Madre volcanic province. It co

    vers historic mine workings of interest for gold exploraon. Mineralized

    structures at the La Juliana pit are exposed and consist of silicied vein

    breccias with abundant iron oxide (hemate) and with nave gold lling

    late stage veinlets in the breccias.

    Stragraphic rock units that outcrop in the region range from Cretace-

    ous to Quaternary in age and include sedimentary, volcano-sedimentary

    and volcanic sequences with intrusive bodies of granodioric composi

    on and rhyolite emplaced during the Oligocene. Extensive hydrotherma

    alteraon zones and gold mineralizaon in the area is associated with

    the youngest intrusive bodies. These strata overlie the northern edge ofthe Cortez basement terrane.

    Structurally, the area is aected by 2 major fault systems: an older NW-

    SE direcon and a younger NE-SW direcon. In general, the faults can

    be aributed to tectonic basin and range extension. Curvilinear feature

    oen reect intrusions emplaced during the laramide orogeny.

    La Julianna hosts large areas of silica altered and brecciated rhyoda-

    cite with associated coincident gold, anmony and lead geochemical

    anomalies in both sill and fault bound environments. Silica alteraon

    associated with hemac silica brecciasdeveloped along faults oriented.

    Mineralizaon

    Mineralizaon on the El Jabali property is

    associated with iron-stained outcrops of

    silicied volcanic rocks. Mineralized areas

    are disnguished by yellowish limonite-

    jarosite or blood-red hemate staining,

    vuggy silica or grey silicicaon and zones

    of crackle breccia.

    Above: Cli forming rhyolite on the El Ja-

    bali property. The view to the northeast

    at mid-cli level shows strong blood red

    hemate stain.

    The main mineralized zone is marked by

    a glory hole that exposes highly fractured

    and jarosite-stained silicied and breccia-

    ted rhyolite. An adit located just south

    and downhill from the glory hole leads to

    a honeycomb of old underground mine

    workings. Several fault and fault brec-

    cia structures are evident in the under-

    ground exposures.

    Gold was observed by URS geologists du-

    ring the site examinaon just west of the

    old mine. The gold is very ne and occurs

    on fractures in a vuggy silica altered rhy-

    olite. There are also physical remains of

    a crude slucing operaon which indicates

    that free gold is present.

    The following text and pictures are taken from the website of Alamos

    Gold Corp. (www.alamosgold.com) and give an overview of their ag-

    ship property Mulatos:

    Alamos owns and operates the Mulatos Mine, which is located in the Si-

    erra Madre Occidental mountain range in the east-central poron of the

    State of Sonora, Mexico. The mine is approximately 220 km by air east

    of the City of Hermosillo, and 300 km south of the border between theUSA and Mexico. The Salamandra group of concessions covers an area

    of more than 30,000 hectares, which contains the Mulatos Deposit plus

    several signicant satellite gold systems, including Puerto del Aire, El Hal-

    con, La Yaqui, Los Bajios, Cerro Pelon, El Victor, San Carlos, El Carricito,

    and El Realito. An advanced exploraon program to develop addional

    mineral resources for inclusion into an expanded Mulatos Pit is ongoing.

    In addion to increasing resources near current mining operaons, Ala-

    mos has a regional exploraon program that is focused on other targets

    within the Mulatos District.

    The Mulatos Mine operates 365 days a year and produces gold on-site as

    dore containing approx. 60 to 80% gold by weight, which is sent to a re-

    nery for nal processing prior to sale. Construcon of the mine began in

    the third quarter of 2004, and the mine was completed in January 2006at a cost of approx. $74 million. Commercial producon was declared on

    April 1, 2006.

    Although the 2004 Feasibility Study called for only a 10,000-tonnes-per-

    day ore crushing operaon, Alamos sized the major components of the

    Mulatos Mine, including the crusher, conveyor, and gold recovery plant,

    to handle a mining and processing operaon with a capacity of up to

    15,000 tonnes per day. In 2005, an expansion budget of $20 million was

    approved to increase the scale of mining operaons from the 2004 Feasi-

    bility Study level of 10,000 tonnes of ore per day.

    At the start of 2010, Alamos commissioned a closed circuit crushing sys-

    tem designed to improve the size consistency of stacked ore. In October

    2010, the company added a scalping screen plant to the crushing circuit

    designed to increase throughput. Actual average daily crusher through-

    put for 2010 was 13,000 tonnes per day.

    Based on current proven and probable mineral reserves and current

    throughput rates, Mulatos has an expected mine life of approx. nine

    years. Inial capital costs incurred to construct the mine have been re-

    covered, however, the company is invesng further in its current heap

    leach operaons to improve recoveries and throughput, and in a planned

    mill expansion in order to increase global producon.

    In 2011, the company started to construct a gravity mill in order to incre

    ase global producon. The mill has been designed to process high-grade

    ores, such as those found within the Escondida zone.

    In the year-ended December 31, 2010, the company produced 156,000

    ounces of gold at a cash operang cost of $302 per ounce. In 2011, the

    Company is forecasng gold pro

    ducon of 145,000 to 160,000

    ounces from the Mulatos Mine a

    a cash operang cost of $365 to

    $390 per ounce of gold sold, which

    is exclusive of the 5% royalty. Inclu

    sive of the 5% royalty and assuming

    an average realized gold price o

    $1,500 per ounce, this would equa

    te to a total cash cost range of $440

    to $465 per ounce of gold sold.

    2012 Producon Guidance

    The Company is forecasng strong producon growth in 2012, between

    200,000 and 220,000 ounces of gold at a cash operang cost of $365 to

    $390 per ounce of gold sold, exclusive of a 5% royalty.

    Including the 5% royalty and assuming a $1,600 gold price, this equates

    to a total cash cost range of $445 to $470 per ounce of gold sold.

    The Company expects gold produced from the gravity mill, which wil

    process high-grade ore from Escondida, will add a minimum of 67,000

    ounces of producon in 2012 at a grade of 13.4 g/t Au. Based on bulk

    sample tesng conducted in 2007, the Company believes that there is

    the potenal for higher producon from the gravity mill as a result of

    realizing posive grade reconciliaon to the reserve grade.

    Current ExploraonOn July 11, URS announced having entered into a contract for 1,500 m

    of core drilling (3 holes with 500 m each) at its agship property El An-

    minio (12,500 ha) in northwest Sonora, Mexico. Simultaneously, URS iscompleng its 10,000 m reverse circulaon (RC) drill ing program, where-

    as some 8,000 m have been drilled with 37 holes already. Assay results

    have been announced up to hole 30 (lastly on July 27) and have returned

    several wide gold bearing intercepts including those summarized in the

    table below. We consider the preliminary results from these holes to be

    highly signicant and indicave of the potenal for a bulk tonnage gold

    deposit to be mined via open-pit(s).

    The exploraon target is a bulk mineable gold deposit centered on previ-

    ously mined veins and new areas discovered through eld work.

    So far, 6 main and 10 minor areas with gold values or mining workings

    have been dened and the current 10,000 meter RC drilling program is

    expected to test these dened targets in 2012.

    Given the locaon in the Mojave-Sonora Megashear, the geology, and

    the extensive historical workings on the property, we knew there was

    potenal for widespread gold mineralizaon at El Anmono. I think

    the results of the rst few thousand meters of drilling on the propertyshow that we may be onto something very signicant here. Based on

    these results, were planning to connue to aggressively explore at E

    Anmonio and expand on some of these intercepts. (Adrian Robert

    son, P.Eng., President of Urastar Gold Corp.)

    Past Exploraon & MiningSeveral clusters of veins have been previously mined for anmony within

    an area extending over 6 x 4 km on the El Anmonio property. In each

    cluster, one or more veins have been excavated by pits, or stoped along

    the structure and accessed by shas or adits. Historically, there has been

    producon of anmony and gold from placer workings of gravel. The

    overall amount mined appears to be relavely small (below 250,000 t).

    Today, arsanal miners are recovering small amounts of gold nuggets

    from gravel using metal detectors. The nuggets do not appear to have

    been transported very far as they are fairly coarse and not rounded or

    aened.

    In 2009, a total of 42 samples were collected from historic workings and

    altered outcrops over an area of over 4 x 2 km on El Anmonio. The-

    se workings are sited on vein swarms, with each swarm localized within

    areas approx. 0.5 km square. Further sampling was done in October of2010, following acquision of addional ground. Several samples from

    the 2009 campaign returned elevated gold values ranging up to 2.2 g/t

    Au, with the average of all 42 samples collected being 0.32 g/t Au. Silver

    results are elevated and range up to 69 g/t Ag, and anmony is high (over

    10,000 ppm). Elevated values for several other metals were obtained

    including As, Ba, Mn and locally Pb and Zn.

    We consider these results to be highly signicant, because most of the

    samples are of altered and weakly mineralized material that was le be-

    hind - hence, the ore grade material that was mined at surface is not in-

    cluded in the sampling average made by URS. The best sample (in terms

    of grade x width) is 1.23 g/t Au over 5.2 m, which was a chip sample

    across a ferruginous siltstone containing 10-20% quartz stringers. This

    sample demonstrates the presence of open-pit ore-grade material in al-

    tered sedimentary rocks that were not previously mined.

    HistoryThe rst recorded date of mining acvies in the district is 1722. In the

    early 1800s, explorers panning for gold mistook anmony for nave sil-

    ver. The rst underground workings were developed in 1882 by a Boston

    company in the central part of the district. In 1942-1943, Rafael Ruiz,

    Charlie Thompson and Roberto Moreno exploited several veins, deve-

    loped new areas, and installed a 100 tons per day (tpd) otaon mill.

    Producon never reached full capacity.

    The main mines in producon during the 1960s were La Piedra Azul, La

    Argenna, San Miguel, San Jos, La Montaa, El Promontorio, San Fran-

    cisco, Palo Verde, La Limea, El Pensamiento and La Fortuna. Esmated

    total producon was 25,000 t of anmony.

    The Mexican company Vitro developed an exploraon program in 1982

    cung 18 trenches that were 100-400 m long and drilled 18 core and

    6 RC holes. From 1994 to 1997, Minorco and IMC developed another

    extensive exploraon program that included mapping, sampling and

    geophysics (VLF-EM and 4 IP-Mag lines). The drilling campaign of 1996-

    1997 by Minorco reported several low-grade intersecons in the collared

    RC holes. From 2005 to date, Peoles, thru the subsidiary Exploraciones

    Mineras Parrea S.A de C.V., consolidated their land posion with inter-mient acvies in the central poron of the district. From 2007 to date,

    Lic Benjamin Lagarda began to stake claims at El Anmonio, and in 2009,

    URS oponed the claims from Lagarda.

    ded on December 22, 2011, URS has acquired an opon agreement to

    purchase a 100% interest in the El Anmonio property. To earn its inte-

    Local GeologyThe El Anmonio property consists of 12,500 hectares and is located 40

    km west of Caborca, Sonora, in the heart of the Mojave-Sonora Megas-

    hear.

    The host rocks are various sedimentary rocks including Permo-Triassic

    limestone, Jurassic arenite, and Cretaceous arenite - all intruded by up

    per Cretaceous-lower Terary diorite, Terary rhyolite and rhyodacite

    Highly ferruginous argillaceous sedimentary units, that host low-grade

    gold, are present. The mineralizaon is low sulphidaon Sb, Ag, Au veins

    mesothermal style with a late-stage epitheral overprint. Quartz veins

    vein breccia, quartz veinlets and silicicaon associated with faults and

    shear zones cut sedimentary rocks including siltstone, greywacke and lo

    cal limestone.

    The vein quartz is of 2 types:

    1. The main type is white, medium-grained, and cockscomb-textured to

    massive white quartz of probable mesothermal style.

    2. The second type consists of microcrystalline white chalcedonic quartz

    of low temperature epithermal style.

    The 2 types occur together in fault zones that are associated with purple

    hemac altered wall rocks. The hemate iron oxide is a supergene wea

    thering product of original sulphides presumed to be pyrite. Sulphide

    mineralizaon is rare within the vein quartz and consists of patches and

    small seams of black-grey ne-grained sulphide.

    Alteraon is generally widespread and consists of argillizaon with li-monite and/or hemac iron oxide staining that extends a few hund

    red meters around the mined fault/vein structures. The altered zones

    commonly contain quartz stringers (10% quartz). There are large areas o

    alteraon and some quartz veins that have never been pied or mined.

    All of the historical workings are located on disconnuous quartz veins

    and quartz stringer zones associated with faults. Several orientaons o

    vein/fault structures are developed. The deposit is characterized by large

    areas of altered rocks containing intense fracture networks and crackle

    breccias, with hemate and/or limonite coangs on fractures.

    Regional Geology of La HerraduraFrom the guidebook of the ore geology eld trip to NW-Mexico by the

    University of Geneva (2009):

    In terms of crustal provinces, this region corresponds to the Caborca

    block (Dickinson & Lawton, 2001) which is a Laurenan ane terrane

    with an underlying Proterozoic basement ~1.7-1.8 Ga years old. How

    ever, its proximity to the proposed Mojave-Sonora megashear in thenortheast, the structure that sutures the Caborca block and the North

    American Block, results in pervasive deformaon and complex faulng in

    the mine area. As would be expected in this tectonic seng, the deposit

    exhibits a strong structural control. The mineralizaon is conned to a

    NW-SE trending slice of amphibolite-facies Proterozoic gneisses that is

    bounded to the NE by the Victoria fault and to the SW by the Ocollo

    fault. These shear zones separate the Proterozoic rocks from a low-grade

    metavolcanic/metasedimentaryurassic sequence to the east and an inci

    piently metamorphosed sequence of limestones and quartzites of uppe

    Paleozoic age to the west...

    La Herradura Mineralizaon & Mining...Gold rich veins are restricted to the

    Proterozoic rocks which consist of bio-

    te-feldspar-quartz and quartz-feldspar

    gneisses of sedimentary and plutonic

    origin. The hydrothermal system is struc-

    turally controlled and the higher grade

    mineralizaon occurs in quartz-sulde

    veins lling tensional fractures. Quartz-

    sericite-albite alteraon is widespread

    in the core of the deposit and grades to

    propylic in the outer parts where the

    gneisses are more biote rich. Geochro-

    nological results indicate that the age of

    the mineralizaon is lower Terary, con-

    rming its Laramidic origin. The averagegrade is calculated to 1 g/t of Au with

    a cut-o of 0.33 g/t. Mining of the mi-

    neralized body is being conducted in 2

    adjacent open pits, the Centauro and the

    Yaqui pits. The principal pit (Centauro)

    is approx. 1km long and 0.65 km wide,

    but the projected megapit will join the 2

    smaller ones and will extend another 1.2

    km to the NW following the gneissic host

    rocks along strike.

    Above: Simplied geological map of the mine area (from Quintanar-Ruiz

    2008). The host rocks of the mineralizaon, the Proterozoic gneisses, are

    shown in orange. These rocks dene a NW-SE trending belt, bounded by

    the Victoria and Ocollo faults to the NE and SW respecvely. Topogra-

    The La Herradura Mine (Centauro Pit); Picture above from Chema Goi-

    ricelaya, Februar 2009, Flickr.com; Picture below from googlemaps.com

    The Mojave-Sonora Megashear hosts millions of ounces of gold produc-

    on, reserves, and resources. The most signicant gold mine along this

    structure is La Herradura. It is the largest producing gold mine in Mexico

    with resources of more than 8 million ounces, and is located only 50 km

    from El Anmonio.

    The district around Herradura is experiencing a major exploraon boom

    which started just few years ago thanks to new discoveries, La Herraduraincreasing their mined reserves due to their exploraon success, and the

    price increase of gold and silver.

    Many of the mines in the district currently in producon started with

    small mining prospects that underwent new geological interpretaons

    or were explored in several stages. The mining of anmony with gold

    and silver, along with the 50 veins in the El Alamo Range district, presents

    a prospecve opportunity to explore for a mineable gold deposit at El

    Anmonio.

    Technical Analysis

    In October 2009, the stock price of Urastar Gold Corp.

    (URS) on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) rosefrom approx. C$0.05 to C$0.35, whereaer a consoli-

    daon beneath the blue resistance took place - which

    together with the green support line was forming a

    (blue-green) triangle.

    In April 2010, the price managed to break above the

    blue resistance and undertook a so-called breakout

    to $0.55, whereaer a consolidaon beneath the red

    resistance took place - which is called a pullback (to

    the blue-green triangle).

    In late 2010, the price managed to break above the red

    resistance at approx. C$0.30, whereaer the so-called

    thrust started (highlighted in light-green) reaching

    approx. C$0.90 in mid-2011.

    Aer this thrust, a consolidaon back to the green

    support at approx. $0.20 occured, whereaer the pri-

    ce consolidated sideways beneath the blue resistance

    at approx. $0.30.

    In early 2012, the price managed to break above the

    blue resistance and undertook a breakout to approx.

    C$0.55, whereaer a pullback beneath the red resis-

    tance took place.

    Recently, the price managed to break above the red

    resistance at approx. C$0.30 - hence, we expect ano-

    ther thrust to have just started.

    Furthermore and in general, a strong buy-signal is ge-

    nerated when a price succeeds in rising above the 260-

    day Exponenal Moving Average (EMA) curve, which

    currently runs at C$0.34. As the price currently tra-

    des at C$0.40, a strong buy-signal is acve (sell-signal

    when breaching this support).

    Relavely to the HUI mining index, URS has a beerperformance since mid-2009 (green upward-trend).

    The next strong buy-signal is generated when brea-

    king above the red resistance. The MACD just rose

    above the red resistance giving another buy-signal.

    The PPO indicator generates a strong buy-signal when

    rising above the red resistance. The ROC broke above

    the red resistance recently and undertook a pullback.

    A strong up-move (thrust) is ancipated when rising

    above the red resistance again.
