American Stellar Energy Adds Significant Gold and Silver Claim to feed ore to the Mill at La Currita CHICAGO, February 8, 2006 (MARKETWIRE) - (Other OTC: AMRS.PK) American Stellar Energy, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in the La Estrella mining concession, totaling 59 Hectares, which is located the Sierra Madre Gold-Silver belt, Mexico. The La Estrella concession is a very key addition and will be associated with American Stellar Energy's La Currita Groupings, which includes a 150 tpd Floatation Mill. The La Estrella concession will be purchased over 30 months for a total purchase price of $400,000. A total of 3,335 Metric Tons was outlined in 2000 by the "Fideicomiso Para La Exploracion Minera De Chihuahua" to a projected depth of 200 meters. The mineralized vein varies between 0.15 and 1.8 meters and averages 0.53 meters in width over in known strike length of 175 meters underground. The average grade of this zone is 8.06 grams per metric ton gold and 715 grams per metric ton silver. The vein strikes N10-40W and can be traced on the surface for approximately 100 meters and occupies a fault zone between tertiary andesitic flows and agglomerates intercalated with sandstone and conglomerate, and a premineral acidic dike. The shaft and underground working are known to extend to an approximate depth of 100 meters, although only the upper 60 meters were accessible at the time of this study as the lower 40 meters had been backfilled with waste. Metallurgical tests indicate that approximately 90% recovery is possible using flotation. Mr. Francis Biscan Jr., President of American Stellar Energy stated; "This acquisition will be a key supplier of high grade ore to our operating mill at La Currita. It will play a substantial role towards the goal of increasing production and operating margins for the plant." About American Stellar Energy, Inc.
