QUARTERLY REPORT – JUNE 2012

Introduction

Resource Star Ltd (‘Resource Star’, ‘RSL’ or ‘the Company’) ( ASX: RSL ) is pleased to provide its quarterly report for the period ended 30 June 2012.

Resource Star’s strategy is to grow shareholder wealth by identifying, acquiring and exploring uranium, rare earth and uranium-related specialty metals resources, in development friendly environments. Resource Star will also consider acquiring other resource projects where there are compelling reasons for shareholders to do so.

During the quarter, Resource Star has continued a disciplined focus on advancing its current portfolio of uranium, rare earth and uranium-related projects in regions of known prospectivity that present strong mineral development potential, namely Australia and Malawi in south eastern Africa. In light of the continuing challenging capital markets and global economic volatility, most notably in the European economies, RSL has continued to focus on expenditure restraint. This restraint obviously reduces exploration activity levels in the short term, but is necessary to ensure that RSL keeps all options available for the longer term benefit of all shareholders.

Resource Star’s projects during the quarter were:

  • Joint ventures with Globe Metals & Mining (“Globe”) on the Livingstonia Uranium Project and the Machinga Heavy Rare Earths Project in Malawi

  • A joint venture with Thundelarra Exploration on the Spinifex Uranium Project in Western Australia

  • The 100%-owned Edith River Uranium Project in the Northern Territory.

Operations

Livingstonia Uranium Project - Malawi

On 15 May 2012, RSL announced that it had agreed with its joint venture partner, Globe Metals and Mining Limited (“Globe”) to restructure their joint venture arrangements to enable both companies to better focus their resources towards future growth. RSL believes this restructure will greatly enhance the Company’s operational and strategic flexibility.

The restructure involves the effective swap of RSL’s remaining 80% interest in Machinga for the 80% interest in Livingstonia that RSL has not yet earned.

RSL will retain exposure to Machinga through a 0.7% gross production royalty and the Company will continue to pursue its other rare earth prospect in Malawi at Ilomba Hill and potentially elsewhere in Africa subject to the level of funding available.

The key benefits for RSL in acquiring 100% ownership of Livingstonia are:

  • a very low absolute cost acquisition of JORC-compliant Inferred U3O8 Resources and very prospective exploration ground;

  • a low cost acquisition relative to the earn in cost;

  • greater flexibility in determining the work program and the timing of expenditures in achallenging capital markets environment;

  • enhanced capacity to consider other transactions that could accelerate value creation at Livingstonia; and

  • improved clarity for investors.

Application has been made to the Malawi authorities to approve the transfer of the Livingstonia and Machinga licenses to give effect to the transaction. Discussions are continuing with the authorities.

During the last quarter, RSL developed plans for the next round of exploration at Livingstonia, including a potential drill program. Indicative pricing was sought from available drilling contractors. As a result of those indications and funding available, RSL has revised its plans and currently proposes to complete additional geological mapping and review of historic drill data during the current quarter to better define controls on mineralisation.

Corporate Development

During the last quarter RSL has actively seeking out opportunities to acquire new projects in both Australia and overseas. Several opportunities have been considered and a decision made not to proceed. Discussions are continuing with respect to other opportunities including under the terms of Confidentiality Agreements.

Given that the likely cost of any acquisition relative to RSL’s market capitalisation, RSL shareholders would be expected to have the opportunity to formally consider it, have access to comprehensive information and to eventually vote on any acquisition.

RSL will keep shareholders informed of any developments.

RSL is still considering opportunities to introduce additional parties to its Northern Territory projects to assist in realising value from those tenements.
