                                     Lopehandia Wins Judicial Order
April 18, 2016 - Mountainstar Gold Inc. (MSX-CSE) ("Mountainstar") wishes to an update its shareholders
regarding the continuing legal action between Jorge Lopehandia and Minera Nevada SpA in Chile.
The Chilean Court has provided the request from Jorge R Lopehandia to have Minera Nevada SpA, Hector
Mardoqueo Unda Llanos and Gonzalo Nieto Valdez face tribunals regarding their illegal stance of having two
conflicting affidavits over being, and not being, employee and employer with Minera Nevada SpA (Barrick in
Chile).
The judge then issued a judgment on April 11, 2016 accepting the Plaintiff's presentation dated February 11, 2016
at page 25 of the trial books.
         "To the Principal (subject of the action): acknowledged hereby as accepted the demand for nullity
         (10,000 pesos contract) in a trial for major damages.
         To the first point of law: attain to what this court has resolved.
         To the second point of law: acknowledge this decision and with a copy, proceed to serve the
         parties.
         To the third point of law: take into account the sponsorship and legal power, the Power of
         Attorney granted to Juan Guillermo Torres Fuentealba, lawyer for Jorge Lopehandia, for all legal
         effects."
This judgment was signed, sealed and provided by Mrs. Lidia Hevia Larenas, Replacement Judge, authorized by
Mrs. Maria Hurtado Vasquez, Acting Secretary of the Court.
In Santiago on April 11, 2016, the Plaintiff and Defendants were notified by daily court records of the above stated
resolution, signed off by the Judge and Court Secretary with electronic Court Seal.
By April 18, 2016, the third serving of Minera Nevada SpA by the process server will take place, after two previous
service attempts to the offices of Minera Nevada SpA. Minera Nevada SpA has confirmed that Hector Mardoqueo
Unda Llanos has his domicile at their corporate offices.
This confession helps Mountainstar Gold to demonstrate to the TSX and the BCSC that Barrick deceived them and
the Chilean Courts in case C1912-2001. Barrick has been denying, since 2001, any employment relationship with
Unda Llanos.
MSX is now clear to pursue libel and perjury actions against Barrick over its libellous press release of December
21, 2011. They stated that neither Mr. Lopehandia nor MSX had anything to do with the Tesoros concessions,
implying that Barrick did.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
