TORONTO, ONTARIO ("Metalex"), WSR Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: WSR) ("WSR") and Arctic Star Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ADD) ("Arctic Star") announced today that they have executed the definitive agreement pursuant to their press release dated November 26, 2007, on their James Bay Lowland Claims ("Claims") whereby WSR can earn up to a 50% beneficial interest in the Claims by spending up to $20 million over 4 years on the Claims.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, WSR has the right to earn up to a 50% interest in the Claims by funding CDN$20.0 million in expenditures on the Property over a 4 year period. For each CDN$5.0 million in expenditures incurred by WSR on the Claims, WSR will acquire a 12.5% interest in the Claims, up to a maximum 50% interest. Currently the claims are owned by a 91.5% Metalex: 8.5% Arctic Star joint venture. Upon the exercise by WSR of its option to acquire its first 12.5% interest in the Claims, the parties shall form a joint venture, during which period a management committee will be formed to approve programs and budgets concerning the Claims. Once WSR has earned its 50% interest, or has elected to no longer sole fund exploration then the joint venture partners will fund the approved budgets pro rata in accordance with their respective interests, or be subject to dilution.

The Claims are strategically located on and around the "Ring of Fire", James Bay, Ontario. Additional staking has taken place since the original press release (November 26, 2007) and the Claims now cover approximately 214.4 square kilometres (52,980 acres).

An airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey over the Claims is now underway. Preliminary results from a portion of the survey show several conductors in the vicinity of magnetic anomalies have been detected. These geophysical anomalies are similar to those of Noront's recent Eagle One and Eagle Two discoveries.

The transaction remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
