Archean Star Samples 13.55% Copper and 15.30 g/t Gold at Monitor

Archean Star Resources Inc. ("Archean" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ASP)
reports that it has received High Grade copper and gold assay results from
samples taken at the historic Monitor Mine, located approximately 30 km (17 mi)
ESE from the town of Wallace, Idaho, in the historic and highly prolific Coeur
D'Alene Mining District. 


The Company has engaged Dr. G. E. Ray, P. Geol., to conduct a National
Instrument NI-43-101-Compliant Report on the Monitor Property. During a property
visit to the Monitor as part of the NI-43-101 Technical Report preparation,
fifteen mineralized samples were taken by Dr. Ray at random locations from the
historic (1910) mine waste dumps. Two samples were taken from the Upper Richmond
shaft waste dump, eight samples from the Monitor shaft waste dump, and five
samples from the Richmond adit portal waste dump. 


The most significant sample assay reported was 13.55% Cu, with two samples
assaying over 7% Cu, and two samples containing over 5% Cu. Of the fifteen
samples, only two assayed less than 1% Cu. The highest gold assays reported were
15.45 g/t Au, 9.67 g/t Au and 3.83 g/t Au from three samples taken from near the
Monitor shaft location. Anomalous gold and silver values were also reported in
fourteen of the fifteen samples taken with one sample assaying 57.70 g/t silver.
These assay results confirm the presence of high-grade copper-gold
mineralization at the Monitor. The complete assay information from all the
samples assayed are tabulated below. 


Subsequent to completing the sampling program, the Company commenced clearing
and making safe the portal to the Monitor adit, that is approximately 1,700 feet
lower in elevation than the Monitor shaft collar at 5,820 feet elevation. This
was done in order to commence an underground mapping and sampling program of the
adit. In a historic report published by the Montana Idaho Copper Company titled:
"To the Monitor Vein", it is stated that up to the late 1920s, 25 men worked on
developing the 10 foot wide and 10 foot high adit. About 3,865 feet in from the
adit portal a copper-gold bearing siderite vein between 10 to 30 feet wide was
reportedly intersected.(i) 


Historic production records from past underground exploration and development
work at the Monitor Mine reported that 1,561 tons were shipped to the Tacoma
smelter in the early 1900's with average reported smelter returns of 14.92%
copper, (298.3 lb/ton), 23.6 g/t silver (0.76 opt Ag) and 7.7 g/t Au (0.24
opt/Au).(i)
