Star Metro - Vulcan Minerals Inc. - Corporate Update

Highlights:

• McNeilly zone drilling of the Colchester Property - assays pending

• Marketing agreement - JAC Marketing

• Stock Options issued

The Company successfully completed a five hole drill program (715 meters) at the McNeilly zone (Colchester Project) last December to test new Induced Polarization (IP) anomalies related to the volcanic massive sulphide copper-gold deposit in central Newfoundland. Previous IP surveys by the Company and historic operators have shown a positive correlation to mineralized zones. Visual inspection of the drill core confirms that disseminated and stringer copper mineralization are associated with the new IP anomalies. Drill core is in the process of detailed logging and assay analysis. Maps detailing the drilling program will be provided upon completion of analysis and assay results.

The Company has entered into a marketing services agreement with JAC Marketing of Mount Pearl, Newfoundland for a term of one year at a rate of $2,850.00 per month. JAC will provide various services including web site design and development, media production and marketing strategy. The agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Patrick Laracy, CEO and President, commented "We look forward to working with JAC to increase the company's visibility and market awareness. The first steps are to update our web site and establish a digital presence on various media. Our company is well capitalized with an exciting story."

The Company has granted 3,750,000 stock options to directors and employees exercisable at $0.15 for a period of two years. The Company has 12,930,927 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to its Stock Option Plan, of which 6,550,000 are issued and outstanding prior to this current grant.
