VANCOUVER, March 25 /CNW/ - First Star Resources Inc. (TSXV: FS) (the “Company“) announces that the letter agreement with Q-Gold (Ontario) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Q-Gold Resources Ltd., previously announced on February 11, 2011 has been terminated. In reviewing the terms of the proposed acquisition, the Company determined that the transaction did not fit within its current business objectives.

Additionally, the Company announces that it has arranged for a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,000,000 units (the “Offering“) at a price of $0.15 per unit (“Unit“) for a total of $900,000. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (“Common Share“) and one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (“Warrant“). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share (a “Warrant Share“) for a period of 24 months from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant Share, subject to the Company's right of acceleration described below.

The Company may, in its sole discretion but only in the event that the average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange has been $0.45 per share or greater for a period of 10 days, accelerate the expiry period of the Warrant by providing written notice of such acceleration by way of news release (the “Acceleration Notice“), such that the exercise period of the Warrant will expire on that day which is 30 days from date of the Company's Acceleration Notice.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, pay a finder's fee to agents of the Company consisting of a cash fee in an amount of up to 7% of the proceeds raised by such agent as part of this Offering. The proceeds raised will be used for general working capital.

This Agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. First Star and Q-Gold share common directors.
