Canstar Announces Matthieu Lapointe as VP, Exploration,

and Provides an Exploration Update

Toronto, Ontario – September 2 1, 20 21 – CANSTAR RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: ROX &

OTCPK: CSRNF) (“Canstar” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has hired Matthieu

(Matt) Lapointe, P.Geo, as Vice President, Exploration, effective immediately.

Mr. Lapointe, P.Geo. has over 15 years of greenfield and brownfield precious metal exploration

throughout Canada and internationally. Most r ecently Mr. Lapointe was VP Exploration at

Labrador Gold Corp., where he led the team that discovered the Big Vein on the Kingsway

property in Newfoundland. Mr. Lapointe’s previous experience includes being Chief Geologist at

TMAC Resources (“TMAC”), Senior Project Geologist at IAMGOLD, and Geologist at Sabina Gold

& Silver. At TMAC, Mr. Lapointe developed exploration strategy and managed regional

exploration of the 1,600 km 2 Hope Bay Project in Nunavut , including brownfield targeting at the

active Doris gold mine and two advanced stage gold deposits.

Rob Bruggeman, President & CEO of Canstar, commented: “I am delighted to have Matt Lapointe

join Canstar to lead our growing exploration team . Our Golden Baie project has gold showings

over a considerable distance. With his extensive gold exploration experience, Mr. Lapointe is well

suited to lead the exploration efforts to turn some of these gold occurrences to new discoveries.”

Matt Lapointe stated: “The Golden Baie project is a large, prospective land package that is largely

underexplored for orogenic gold mineralization despite the favorably -aged tectonostratigraphy,

regional-scale structures and abundant gold occurrences. I am very excited to be a member of

the Canstar team and look forward to working with the company to advance its current prospects

and develop a robust pipeline of exploration targets.”

Dawn Evans-Lamswood, previous Vice President, Exploration, is no longer with the Company.

Canstar thanks Ms. E vans-Lamswood for her contributions and wishes her well in her future

endeavours.

Golden Baie Exploration Update

The Company is pleased to announce that the initial diamond drill program on the Golden Baie

drill holes were drilled on the Kendell Target and the remainde r were drilled on the Blow Out

Target and other targets on trend to the southwest of Blow Out.

Initial assays from the drill program included 9.64 g/t Au over 7.75 metres in hole GB -21-01

(reported on August 19, 2021 ). Assays for the remaining holes , as well as numerous grab

samples from ongoing prospecting activity , are pending. The Company will be announc ing the

assay results from the drill program over the next several months.

Canstar is also pleased to announce that an airborne LiDAR survey has been completed on the

interpretation and target generation on the Golden Baie property, especially in areas with thicker

till cover.

The Company is currently reviewing the preliminary drill results and LiDAR data in order to design

the next phase of the exploratio n program on Golden Baie , which is expected to include some

additional drilling.
