Lone Star Gold, Inc. Continues to Strenghen Its Exploration Program at La Candelaria Property and Signs Advisory Agreements With Leading Experts

ALBUQUERQUE, NM--(Marketwire - Oct 5, 2011) - Lone Star Gold, Inc. (OTCBB: LSTG); ("Lone Star" or "the Company")

Lone Star is pleased to provide a field update from the geological team on its Mexico-based La Candelaria Property.

Assessment from a recent sediment study (results from ALS Chemex), have isolated additional surface anomalies in the gold-silver project's southwest zone, indicating an additional exploration area to pursue. The team has decided to conduct additional geo-chemical sampling and analysis of the quartz veining from the obvious fractures to back up existing data from the project's southwest zone. From Oct 4^th, a full time crew at the property has been working on quartz veins samples and are preparing these to be sent off for analysis.

The ground crews are currently constructing a new prepping area and are developing better access roads for the Company's initial 10-15 drill targets.

Lone Star has a 70% Working Interest in the La Candelaria gold-silver project, which comprises ~1,976 acres (~800 hectares) of mining concessions located roughly 125 miles (200 km) southwest of the capital city of Chihuahua State, Mexico.

Further to this, the company is pleased to announce the signing of agreements with two independent advisors -- qualified mining engineer Dr. Mike Seeger and mining engineer and geologist Ralph Sacrison -- as well as consulting, design, and construction services company Golder Associates Inc. Information on each of the entities is provided further below.

"This is an exciting time for us, what with the positive news coming from our in-field team at La Candelaria," said Daniel Ferris, Lone Star's Company President. "And now that the exploration work is progressing nicely on our flagship project, having these advisor and service company agreements in place is more important than ever. Not only will Dr. Seeger, Mr. Sacrison and Golder Associates help us move toward our goal of rapidly becoming a mid-tier producer in the short term, but by only calling on their expertise as and when needed, we'll be able to keep our operating costs down, thereby maximizing shareholder returns."
