VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 5, 2011) - Redstar Gold Corp. (News - Market indicators) and our partner Confederation Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CFM) are pleased to report additional results from the on-going drill program at the Newman Todd property in the Red Lake Gold District, Ontario. The drill program continues to expand the known zones of gold mineralization and identifies a new target zone. Highlights include; step out drilling approximately 200 metres along strike of the Newman Todd Structure (NTS), and hole NT-058 intersected 2.0 metres of 25.55 g/t gold, including 0.50 metres of 75.8 g/t gold.

Scott Weekes, President of Redstar, states: "We are extremely pleased with results from our winter 2011 drill program that included 6 holes, and returned some of the best results to date at the Newman-Todd project. Not only have we intersected some of the highest grades we have seen within the Heath Bull Zone, results continue to indicate that the entire NTS structure is gold bearing. Our drilling within the Heath Bull Zone is beginning to demonstrate continuity of the high-grade gold mineralization. Redstar has now completed a total of 30 holes, and hit gold in every hole drilled into the NTS. Drill hole NT-061 (on section 2425), was drilled over 1.0 kilometre to the northeast of the Heath Bull Zone, and intersected seven separate zones with assays greater than 3.0 g/t gold. With development of a new gold zone on section 2425, it brings our total gold zones found along strike of the NTS to four. Each of the four gold zones has the potential to host several steeply dipping, high-grade gold zones at shallow depths, and the depth potential remains wide open."

Results have been received from four additional holes, highlights include:

• 2.0 metres of 25.55 g/t gold including 0.50 metres of 75.8 g/t gold and including 0.50 metres of 23.3 g/t gold. In the Heath Bull Zone.
• 1.0 metres of 11.65 g/t gold and 1.0 metres of 7.33 g/t gold in step out drilling.

Discussion of Results

The current program is focusing on the Newman Todd Structure, which spans the entire property (approximately 2.8 kilometres) and has been sparsely drilled along strike.

Drill holes NT-058 and NT-059 were drilled southeast, to test for continuity of the Heath Bull Zone to the northeast. These holes were drilled on section 1400, where very little drilling has been completed to date. This section is a 25 metre step out to the northeast from drill hole NT-056 (reported March 14/2011) that intersected 3.0 metres of 42.84 g/t gold, including 1.0 metre of 122.0 g/t gold.

Drill holes NT-060 and NT-061 were drilled on section 2425 (approximately 1km northeast of the Heath Bull Zone), and approximately 200 metres northeast of the NE Breccia Zone. Both holes intersected wide-spread iron carbonate alteration with silica-sulphide and magnetite replacement zones. Early interpretation suggests these holes intersected multiple zones (see section 2425 on the company's website) of gold mineralization which are at present interpreted to be steeply dipping.

Exploration work at the Newman-Todd project is being funded by Confederation Minerals Ltd. (Confederation) (TSX VENTURE:CFM). Confederation can earn a 50% interest in the project by spending $5.0 million in exploration within three years, and an additional 20% by producing a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) within six years.

Core samples from the program were cut in half using a Diamond cutting saw and were sent to ALS Laboratory Group in, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario, for preparation and analysis utilizing fire assay methods. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates were routinely inserted into the sample stream as part of Redstar's quality control/quality assurance program.
