VANCOUVER, Jan. 3 /CNW/ - Megastar Development Corp. (TSX-V: MDV) is
pleased to announce that it has completed the flow-through share portion of
the non-brokered private placement announced on December 23, 2005.
Subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, the company will issue 794,000
flow-through units at a price of 15 cents per unit for gross proceeds of
$119,100, being an increase from the $90,000 previously announced on
December 23, 2005. Each unit will consist of one share and one share purchase
warrant; two warrants will entitle the holder to purchase one additional   
non-flow-through common share of the company at a price of 20 cents for a
period of one year. The shares issued under the private placement will be
subject to a four-month hold period from the date of TSX Venture Exchange
approval.
The proceeds from the private placement will be used by Megastar for
exploration purposes primarily on its 100% owned RALLEAU property located in
Ralleau Township, approximately 40km east of QuDevillon, Quebec. The project
area consists of 12 designated cells covering an area of 676 hectares
accessible via a series of forestry roads emanating from the Val d'Or-
Chibougamau provincial road and is situated about 20km southeast of the
Langlois mine, currently being developed by Breakwater (TSX: BWR). For a map
of the project area, refer to

of the proceeds may be incurred on other Quebec mineral properties in which
the Company holds an interest.
The second tranche of the non-brokered private placement is anticipated
to close on or about January 20, 2006.
