GSA Groundstar Resources Ltd

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.A. 

The board of directors of Groundstar Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:GSA)
("Groundstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into
agreements whereby it will acquire an aggregate 50% working interest in heavy
oil assets, which includes the acquisition of a 25% working interest in the
assets pursuant to the Acquisition described below. Groundstar expects to drill
and complete vertical test well(s) in the Willingdon area of Alberta to confirm
productivity and establish a medium and heavy oil resource play. Core, log and
oil analysis demonstrates a 35 meter thick, 18-20 degrees API oil column with
excellent reservoir quality which the Company believes will allow for primary,
cold flow production. Proprietary 3D seismic covering three sections (1,920
acres) delineates the initial well(s) and confirms up to 30 additional drilling
locations. An independent engineering assessment dated November 1, 2012 has
assigned gross Prospective Resource estimates for three of the sections at 3.1
million barrels Best Estimate, 930,000 barrels Low Estimate and 9.3 million
barrels High Estimate.(1) The independent assessment indicates the total reef to
have a gross Prospective Resource estimate of 11 million barrels Best Estimate,
3.3 million barrels Low Estimate and 33.2 million barrels High Estimate.(1)
Under the terms of the agreements, upon having completed its earning obligations
with respect to the test well, the Company will have a 50% working interest
option on fifteen sections. 


Key Attributes and Highlights to the Company: 

Emerging Medium and Heavy Oil Resource Exposure: 69.0 million barrels net
Undiscovered PIIP, Best Estimate(1) 


Prospective Resources: Leduc 18-20 degrees API oil 11.0 million barrels gross
(5.5 million barrels net, Best Estimate)(1) 



Current Development Inventory: 30 gross, 15 net locations 

Seismic: 4.8 square km (1,920 acres) of 3D seismic and 30km 2D seismic (2) 

Land: 18 sections gross or 11,520 gross acres (5,760 net), 4.5 sections unbooked
(3) 


Pro Forma Shares Outstanding: 7.5 million (basic), 7.8 million (fully-diluted) 

Tax Pools: $30.3 million 

(1) Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. ("Chapman") independent NI -51-101
assessment, effective November 1, 2012.  


(2) Total gross seismic cost of $400,000. 

(3) Based on the respective independent land reports effective November 1, 2012,
prepared by Independent Land Evaluations Inc. in accordance with NI 51-101 5.9
(1) (e) for total net land value of $620,480.  


In connection with the execution of the agreements, Groundstar is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an assignment agreement with a private Alberta
company ("First Oil") to acquire its 25% working interest in the Willingdon
assets held by First Oil for consideration consisting of 1.6 million shares of
the Company (the "Acquisition"). Certain of the directors of the Company are
shareholders of First Oil, such that the transaction may be considered to be a
non-arm's length transaction pursuant to the applicable policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). In particular, two directors of Groundstar hold
shares in First Oil, which does not represent a controlling position, and they
will indirectly control an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company following
the Acquisition. The aforementioned Acquisition and the issuance of the shares
of the Company as payment therefore are subject to the approval of the TSXV.
Upon completion of the acquisitions and provided that the interest is earned in
accordance with the agreements, the Company will have a 50% working interest in
the Willingdon assets.

Significant Positive and Negative Factors Relevant to the Resources Estimates 

The estimation of prospective resource volumes for high-risk and poorly
calibrated basins can be subject to large variation from the introduction of new
information. The estimates presented herein are based on all of the information
available; however, new data or information is likely to have a material effect
on the resource assessment values. Given that most of the resources in the
portfolio are in leads that require additional data to fully define their
potential it is likely that significant changes to the resource estimates will
occur with the incorporation of additional data and information. 


In the event of a discovery, basic reservoir parameters, such as porosity, net
hydrocarbon pay thickness, fluid composition and water saturation, may vary from
those assumed by Chapman affecting the volume of hydrocarbon estimated to be
present. Other factors such as the reservoir pressure, density and viscosity of
the oil and solution gas/oil ratio will affect the volume of oil that can be
recovered. Additional reservoir parameters such as permeability, the presence or
absence of water drive and the specific mineralogy of the reservoir rock may
affect the efficiency of the recovery process. Recovery of the resources may
also be affected by well performance, reliability of production and process
facilities, the availability and quality of source water for enhanced recovery
processes and availability of fuel gas. There is no certainty that certain
mineral interests are not affected by ownership considerations that have not yet
come to light. 


For the discussions of estimated prospective resources in this press release,
the following terms have the following respective meanings: "Best Estimate" is
considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be
recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered
will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are
used, there should be at least a 50 Percent probability (P50) that the
quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate. "High
Estimate" is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will
actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used,
there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities
actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate. "Low Estimate" is
considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be
recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will
exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at
least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will
equal or exceed the low estimate. "Mean Estimate" is the statistical mean
resource value for each exploration prospect. The statistical mean is dependent
on the estimated probabilistic distribution of recoverable resources and is not
the same as the "best estimate" or P50 resource volume. These values can be
arithmetically summed to obtain a total mean estimate for a group of prospects. 


"Undiscovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place" is defined as that quantity of
petroleum that is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations
yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of undiscovered petroleum
initially-in-place is referred to as prospective resources; the remainder is
unrecoverable. 


"Prospective Resources" are defined as those quantities of petroleum estimated,
as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered
accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective
resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of
development. Prospective Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the
level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates assuming their
discovery and development and may be sub-classified based on project maturity.
Unless otherwise indicated herein, the Prospective Resources set out in this
press release are unrisked, meaning that they are not risked for chance of
development or chance of discovery. Estimates of unrisked Prospective Resources
are pursuant to the Chapman assessments. There is no certainty that any portion
of the resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that
it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. If a
discovery is made, there is no certainty that it will be developed or, if it is
developed, there is no certainty as to the timing of such development.
