Star Uranium Announces Exploration Update.

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan -- Star Uranium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SUV) Star Uranium Corp. is pleased to announce the following exploration update on its diamonds and metals properties.

Diamond Properties:

Peace River-Buffalo Head Hills, Alberta

The Peace River - Buffalo Head Hills Diamond Play is located 350 km north of the City of Edmonton, Alberta. Star Uranium/ United Carina Resource Corp.(TSX VENTURE:UCA) JV lands are located 70 km SW of the Ashton Mining JV holdings which hosts K252 kimberlite pipe and an additional 37 pipes of which 25 are diamondiferous. The SUV/UCA exploration program has consisted principally up until now of the collection of heavy mineral sampling for kimberlitic and diamond indicators supplemented by analysis of airborne geophysics. Recent sampling had been able to distinguish between at least two till sheets, which cover the property. The indicator mineral suite found to date is similar in composition to that found by Ashton, which is not comparable to the classical model for diamondiferous kimberlite with the associated G10 garnets. The kimberlitic indicator suite is dominated by other mantle derived indicators from within the diamond stability field. The craton, which underlies the Peace River - Buffalo Head Hills area, is obviously not the same as other more conventional plays but still hosts 25 diamondiferous kimberlitic pipes. The next planned stage of exploration is to follow up on kimberlitic indicators found in overburden near circular geophysical targets. The property is 320,000 acres, owned 50/50 by Star Uranium and United Carina. Ashton Mining Canada (TSX:ACA) is in the area but a large number of juniors also hold land in the area. The 2006 exploration program will consist of airborne surveys, groundwork leading up to drilling of potential targets.

Saskatchewan Diamond properties:

Star Uranium has been involved in the Saskatchewan diamond play for many years, having spent about $5 million to date on acquisition and exploration of properties.

In partnership with United Carina, the Company also owns a 50% interest in seven diamond claims in the Smeaton area of Saskatchewan, which is northeast of Fort a la Corne area of Saskatchewan. One of these claims hosts a kimberlite pipe on which the partners have drilled five holes. To date, only one hole had been tested for diamonds, yielding two micro diamonds. Samples are currently being shipped for testing to laboratory facilities in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for further testing.

The Company is a 10% partner with Entourage Mining Inc (OTCBB:ETGMF)in a number of claims which all host magnetic anomalies and are being currently explored by Entourage.

Additionally, Star Uranium and its 50% partner UCA applied to the government of Saskatchewan for mineral rights to 25 claims totaling 33,196 hectares. Presently Star Uranium and its partner UCA are litigating with Shore Gold Inc (TSX:SGF) as to ownership of these claims. The company anticipates a ruling in their favor in September of 2006, with the Department of Energy and Mines subsequently issuing certificates to Star and UCA. The properties in question are scattered throughout the Fort a la Corne area, and all have magnetic anomalies on them that could be caused by kimberlites. The largest and at this time, the most important claim involved is a 60km bloc which is about 8 km from Shore Gold's Star kimberlite pipe. Previous work on this property by Star Uranium and its partner United Carina Resources Corp. consisted of an airborne survey and ground geophysics, resulting in outlining several drill-ready targets. Immediately upon ownership of these properties being settled an aggressive drill program will be initiated.

Base and Precious Metals:

Star Uranium Corp. is in a 50/50 joint venture with United Carina Resources ("UCA") owns two mineral claims near La Ronge, Saskatchewan along strike about 3 kilometres from the former Anglo-Rouyn copper-gold mine. Surface work consisting of rock trenching and geophysics has indicated good potential for this property to host an economic copper-gold deposit. Diamond drilling is planned to test two areas of interest with the first phase consisting of about 1000 metres of drilling.

Star Uranium also owns a 100% interest in several other Base and Precious Metals properties in Saskatchewan that it plans to explore in 2006 and will update in future releases.

"The company is fully financed to execute its 2006 exploration programs and is currently considering new financing opportunities to be more aggressive in its future development," states Rick Walker, President Star Uranium Corp.

The board of directors is currently reviewing strategic initiatives to enhance shareholder value. These proposals include exploration of existing properties, the acquisition of additional properties, joint venturing of others, further equity financings and the possibility of splitting the Company into two entities, one for the purpose of uranium and base metals exploration and one for the purpose of diamond and precious metals exploration.
