On October 30th and 31st, 2013, International Star, Inc. appointed a new slate of Directors and Officers with the purpose of moving the Van Demeen gold claim into production.

The new Board and Management Team is led by Michael Shea, CEO & President, Howard Metzler, VP of Operations, Barbara Carroll, VP of Project Development and Donnell J. Vigil, Corporate Secretary.

Mr. Shea is a Wall Street veteran with over 30 years of finance experience, as well as, 5 years of mining experience.

Mrs. Vigil has considerable legal experience and has extensive knowledge with operating public companies.

Resigning as Directors and Officers are Virginia Shehee, Sterling Redfern and Jackie Wine. Mr. Shea commented, "The new management team wishes to thank the previous Directors/Officers for their substantial contribution to International Star. Under their leadership, the Van Demeen prospect was advanced to a state, where the new team can move it into production."

The Van Deemen Mine property consists of five unpatented lode mining claims totalling approximately 100 acres acquired through a lease agreement with La Cuesta International, Inc. in April of 2011. The Company has also located 18 unpatented lode claims in the area surrounding the Van Deemen Mine, which have been staked and recorded with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the Mohave County Recorder.

A check of the historic resource by Carroll and Metzler shows good agreement of the reported 34,000 ounces of near surface gold with grades ranging from 1-3 grams per ton. The purpose of the report was to demonstrate that the historical exploration data confirm that the project merits additional work to verify previous defined mineralization.

The next phase of the project involves reassay of existing pulps to confirm grade as well as representative samples to run column tests to determine leach characteristics of the ore types. Metzler and Carroll are actively working with Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") and other regulatory agencies to obtain the required permits.

The Company is excited to move the Van Demeen towards production and will be hosting a new website with substantial geological information, resumes on the new management team, and regular updates. The new website and updated financials filed on OTCMarkets will be accomplished shortly.
