SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN, Sep 28, 2006
(CCNMatthews via COMTEX News Network) -- Star Uranium Corp.
(TSX VENTURE:SUV) is pleased to provide the following update as to its ongoing litigation with Shore Gold (TSX:SGF) with respect to 25 mineral claims totaling 33,196 hectares. The claims in question are situated in and around the Fort a la Corne area of Saskatchewan and all have magnetic anomalies on them that could be caused by kimberlites. The largest and at this time the most important claim involved, is a 60 square kilometre block which is about eight kilometers from Shore Gold's Star kimberlite pipe and adjoins the Shore/Newmont Mining joint venture on the east. Previous work on this property by Star Uranium and its 50/50 partner United Carina Resources Corp. (TSX:UCA) consisted of an airborne survey and ground geophysics, resulting in outlining several drill-ready targets. The Saskatchewan government was in the process of awarding the above noted claims to Star Uranium and its 50/50 partner United Carina Resources in June of 2003. Prior to the final certificates being issued, Shore Gold protested to the Saskatchewan Department of Industry and Resources and to the Minister of Mines. Both protests were rejected by the government agencies and subsequently Shore Gold initiated a civil action to try and prevent the government from issuing title to Star Uranium and United Carina. Saskatchewan Industry and Resources is now awaiting the outcome of the civil litigation prior to issuing title. The case was originally scheduled to be heard on September 25, 2006. Shore Gold requested an adjournment until November 20, 2006, which the court has agreed to. Several attempts at arbitration have failed to resolve the issues. Star Uranium is satisfied that it acted properly and fairly at the time and is confident that the court will rule in its favor in November. Subsequent to a favorable ruling, it is the company's intention to initiate an aggressive exploration program on the properties in question and explore its own civil options through the court system for compensation.
