Oman Antimony Roaster - Successful Test-work

Tri-Star is pleased to announce that test-work by Strategic & Precious Metals Processing LLC ("SPMP") has resulted in the first production of high purity antimony metal.  SPMP's announcement of today's date continues as follows:

"Antimony metal was poured following the reduction of oxide material using the innovative furnace technology adopted by SPMP.  The tests confirmed the ability to use such technologies to produce antimony metal in a modern environmentally advanced manner, when compared to other traditional metal reduction methods.

Such innovations are hoped will differentiate the SPMP product and quality going forward when the main plant is in full production.  Further test-work is being undertaken including trials with material from a number of international producers.

The test equipment will ultimately be relocated to site in Sohar and will form the test equipment for the site laboratory, performing on-going analysis and test-work on feed material."

The Company has a 40% equity interest in SPMP.  The full text of SPMP's announcement is to be found at www.spmp.co.om
