TORONTO, ONTARIO ("Metalex"), WSR Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: WSR) ("WSR") and Arctic Star Diamond Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ADD) ("Arctic") announced today that they have entered into a letter of intent pursuant to which WSR has been granted the option to acquire a 50% interest in certain claims of Metalex's and Arctic's James Bay Properties, in the Province of Ontario. The joint venture does not include Metalex's properties contained within the Attawapiskat joint venture nor those claims in the T1 joint venture that contain the T1, U1, U2 and U2NW kimberlites. WSR, Metalex and Arctic are at arm's length.

The Properties are strategically located on and around the "Ring of Fire" and cover approximately 36 square kilometres (8,944 acres) of ground. Based on geophysical work completed by Metalex and Arctic, there are 33 High Priority Volcanic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") drill ready targets that have been identified and staked. Further flying on 100 meter spacings over the targets and other claim blocks will commence shortly and upon review of the flight data drilling will start.

Metalex has a complete exploration camp in the area with 2 drill rigs, and other required amenities to effectively operate and immediately commence an exploration program. John Tait, CEO of WSR said, "This turn key operation allows Metalex, Arctic and WSR an excellent opportunity immediately to implement Metalex's extensive exploration data and to explore these highly prospective properties." Metalex has extensive experience operating in the James Bay lowlands, having diamond exploration programs both at Attawapiskat and T1.

Under the terms of the letter of intent, WSR has the right to fund a maximum of CDN$20.0 million in expenditures on the Property over a 4 year period. For each CDN$5.0 million in expenditures, WSR will acquire a 12.5% interest in the Property, up to a maximum 50% interest. During the joint venture period, a management committee will be formed. Metalex has agreed to deal exclusively with WSR with respect to the Properties.

The letter of intent is subject to standard conditions including the completion of due diligence by WSR, the execution of a definitive agreement and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange with respect to each of WSR and Metalex. It is currently contemplated that the definitive agreement will be signed on or before January 7, 2008.
