Lone Star Gold, Inc. Provides Geological & Exploration Update on Mexico Based Gold Project

ALBUQUERQUE, NM--(Marketwire - Sep 12, 2011) - Lone Star Gold, Inc. (OTCBB: LSTG) ("Lone Star" or "the Company") is pleased to provide a geological update on the Company's 70% Working Interest in the ~1,976-acre (~800-hectare) Mexico-based La Candelaria gold-silver project property, located in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua.

In recent weeks, the Lone Star team has been conducting onsite fieldwork on La Candelaria. The work has vastly increased the Company's geo-chemical and geo-physical knowledge of the entire project, including the additional 400 hectares of concessions added to the project after the original preliminary report was authored in 2009 (i.e., Geological Survey of La Candelaria Property. Luis E. Olvera Rosas, Engineering Geologist, Oct. 2009).

All samples acquired are securely transported through Lone Star's satellite office in the city of Chihuahua to the ALS Chemex Laboratory in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Over the next few weeks, data from the team's field work will be analyzed, studied and mapped. First phase drilling is also planned for the South East zone of the property with the expectation of drill mobilization onto the property by late September 2011.

Based on the Lone Star team's fieldwork, the La Candelaria area has clearly experienced massive structural upheaval during the oregeny stages, and was severely affected by the last ignimbrite pulse. The Company believes further diagnostic studies may prove the area to be located near a magma chamber or likely a caldera collapse, causing massive structural folds, slab drops, and fractures along the N.W. by S.E. fault. Lone Star also believes the La Candelaria property is probably located in close proximity to the region's upper volcanic system (UVS) and lower volcanic system (LVS) contact zone; many of the area's largest producers have been located along this transition.

Also in line with the Company's mandate of rapidly becoming a mid-tier producer in the short term, Lone Star is continuing negotiations with multiple small producing mining projects in the surrounding Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO) region. The Company believes that by ramping up production from these mines, Lone Star would effectively increase shareholder value while separating itself from the vast number of exploration companies throughout North America.

"Five to ten years ago, everybody wanted a project minimum of 1,000,000 ounces gold equivalent," commented Daniel Ferris, Lone Star Gold's Company President. "But that's changed in the last few years. With prices easily above $1200 for gold and above $30 for silver, these 100,000-ounce equivalent projects make a lot of sense, and can be brought into production for a fraction of the cost of larger projects. And with the growing middle class in India and China, the expectation is that demand for gold and precious metals will stay strong for many years to come."
