MEGASTAR’S EFFORTS IDENTIFY MULTIPLE HIGH POTENTIAL TARGETS AT YAUTEPEC
Property lies within the known Oaxaca Au-Ag epithermal trend
Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 16, 2019 – Megastar Development Corp. (“Megastar”, or the “Company”)
(TSX-V: MDV; Frankfurt: M5QN), an early stage mineral exploration company focused on its properties
in Oaxaca, Mexico, is pleased to report on the Company’s preliminary exploration activities at its
Yautepec project; one of three properties that the Company is currently earning a 100% ownership in.
Headed by David Jones, Megastar’s exploration manager, a team of geologists performed two rounds of
reconnaissance mapping and geochemical sampling that have revealed widespread metal anomalies in
multiple areas on its Yautepec project. The exploration efforts are being focused on a 22-kilometer zone
consisting of a geological structure similar to those known to host bonanza type epithermal systems at
the nearby producing San Jose (Fortuna Silver Mines Inc., TSX: FVI) and Arista -Switchback (Gold
Resource Corp., NYSE: GORO) mines.
“It is remarkable to have defined such highly prospective geology so soon after the start of our field
program.,” said David Jones, exploration manager and director of Megastar. “The work to date supports
our initial interpretation and looks as promising as the early stages of other exploration programs in the
region which are now producing mines. The goal now is to expand known areas and discover additional
new targets. We await pending results with great anticipation.”
Laboratory results have been received from the first 146 rock chip samples, the more significant results
of which are compiled in the following table:

Se 7.80 12> 2 ppm Carbonate veins w/sulfides
Te 1.06 3>0.20 ppm Quartz vein
Tl 2.75 9 > 1 ppm Breccia: silicified and veined
These highly anomalous results are from quartz veins, silicified breccias, and siliceous sinter deposits in
multiple areas that, to date, have seen little detailed evaluation. They are found in multiple distinct
centers along a north-northwest striking 8.4 km trend of prospective rocks that trace a volcanic caldera
margin.
An additional 175 rock samples are currently undergoing laboratory analysis, results for which will be
announced in a subsequent news release.
Company President & CEO, Dušan Berka commented: “I am very pleased with the results to date and
with the firming metal prices, these truly are exciting times for Megastar shareholders and investors.
Megastar will continue to be aggressive in exploring and advancing its land holdings, in order to
establish their potential quickly and efficiently.”
