NEWS RELEASE

South Star Mining Announces DTC Eligibility

To Activate Trading On The OTCQB

December 17th, 2018 – Vancouver, B.C. - South Star Mining Corp. (“South Star” or the

“Company”) (TSXV: STS) (OTCQB: STSBF) is pleased to announce that the Company has

secured eligibility by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for its shares on the OTCQB.

DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. that manages the electronic clearing

and settlement of publicly traded companies in the United States. DTC eligibility will simplify

the process of trading and is expected to enhance liquidity of the Company's common shares on

the OTC marketplace where South Star now trades under the symbol “STSBF”.

The OTCQB is the premier marketplace for entrepreneurial and development stage US and

international companies that are committed to providing a high-quality trading and information

experience for their US investors. To be eligible, companies must be curren t in their financial

reporting, pass a minimum bid price test, and undergo an annual company verification and

management certification process. The OTCQB quality standards provide a strong baseline of

transparency, as well as the technology and regulation to improve the information and trading

experience for investors.

The ability to have the Company's shares electronically transferred between brokerages in the US

is significantly more convenient and reduces the costs incurred in trading shares. When shares are

able to trade electronically, existing investors benefit from greater liquidity and execution speeds,

while opening the door to new investors that may have been previously restricted from the

Company's shares.
