To help fund these exploration activities, Lone Star exercised a 3rd $200,000 'Put Notice' ($600,000 drawn in total to date), against the USD$15 million line of equity agreement the Company entered into on August 26th, 2011. Recent funds were received on Dec 27th, 2011 and in return for the draw down 273,972 Lone Star shares will be issued to North American Gold today. The equity financing agreement does not involve any debt. Rather, the terms of the agreement give Lone Star the option to draw down from the $15 million amount as and when needed in the amount of $100,000 or multiples thereof.

The Company has an option to purchase a 65% interest in the San Antonio del Potrero mine tailings project in the city of Hidalgo Del Parral. Lone Star is currently in a 60-day due diligence period for the project which ends on the 28th of Jan 2012, during which time a total of 10 holes will be augured to acquire 40 undisturbed samples at depths of 20-25 meters to provide confirmation of the property's estimated resource as provided to Lone Star by the current owners (i.e., 1.2 million tons of mine tailings which show potential for Silver recovery and additional bi-products including Gold, Zinc and Lead). The company is confident that results will be positive, and upon receiving these results it is likely a Definitive Agreement will be signed prior to the LOI closing date.

"I'm incredibly excited about all our projects going into next year. 2011 has seen incredible progress with our operations in Mexico and I'm looking forward continuing to build our property portfolio in Mexico and potentially see revenue from one of the projects within the first quarter of 2012," commented Daniel Ferris, President.
