(TSX-V: DSR) (\"Desert Star\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling at its Copper King project in the Superior district of Pinal County, Arizona. Desert Star is conducting a diamond drill program (approximately 2100 meters) targeting a significant porphyry-style alteration footprint that coincides with historic copper workings and an IP geophysical anomaly, approximately 5km from the Resolution Copper Project (Fig. 1). \n\nCopper King is situated in a prolific, high-grade copper camp, and the drill target is characterized by local high-temperature alteration of porphyry dikes and diabase intrusions, in addition to evidence of telescoping, similar to that documented at other deposits in the district. The Copper King project is underlain by favorable host rocks and has no post mineral cover (as at the Resolution Copper Project), as porphyry-style alteration exists at surface. Additional technical information regarding the Copper King project is available on the Desert Star website at: www.desertstar.ca.\n\nCopper King Exploration Highlights\n\nField work conducted by Desert Star Resources at the Copper King Project has consisted of 1:5000 scale geological mapping, clay alteration studies (short wave infrared measured by Terraspec), and a 3D Volterra IP study by SJ Geophysics.  This work has defined a 4 x 5 kilometer anomaly that is prospective for porphyry copper mineralization, located approximately 5 kilometers away from the Resolution Copper Deposit.  High grade copper is found in small-scale historic workings on the property, and geological mapping and sampling have accurately mapped the distribution of diabase, limestone/marble and quartz diorite units which are favorable host rocks, and have the capacity to ho...
