GlobeStar Provides Update on 2010 Drill Program at Moblan Lithium Project

Toronto, Ontario -- (Marketwire - Oct. 20, 2010) - GlobeStar Mining Corporation ("GlobeStar") (TSX: GMI) today announced partial assay results from the 99 diamond drill hole program conducted at the Moblan Lithium Project, a joint venture with SOQUEM Inc. ("SOQUEM"). Results show continuity of the main pegmatite sill for over 700 metres along strike with the best intercepts resulting in 33.2 metres grading 2.42% Li20 (Hole 1331-10-106), 37.4 metres grading 1.99% Li2O (Hole 1331-10-22) and 36.3 metres grading 2.00 % Li2O (Hole 1331-10-70).


Moblan Geology and Estimated Mineral Resources

The Moblan Lithium Project is located 100 km north of the town of Chibougamau, Quebec and is 60% owned by GlobeStar and 40% by SOQUEM.

Regionally, the area is underlain by the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt and the local geology is dominated by the Frotet Anticline, a prominent easterly-plunging fold in the belt. Pegmatite bodies, such as found at the project are confined within the nose of the anticline.

A 12 hole drilling program totalling 1,245 metres completed in 2007 outlined a near-surface 40-metre thick pegmatite sill which hosts a NI 43-101 compliant estimated inferred mineral resource of 5.3 million tonnes, grading 1.51% lithium oxide Li2O at a cut-off grade of 0.43% Li2O. Included in this resource is a higher-grade inferred mineral resource estimate of 2.1 million tonnes, grading 1.85% Li2O at the same cut-off grade, located in the eastern part of the sill. A copy of the previously filed NI 43-101 report for this deposit, dated December 6, 2008, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


2010 Moblan Lithium Project Diamond Drilling Program

A 99 hole diamond drilling program totalling 13,456 metres was completed in May 2010 - see plan view and cross sections at: http://www.globestarmining.com/SiteResources/moblan2010ddh.pdf. The main goal of the 2010 drilling program was to increase the tonnage of the estimated mineral resources and to increase the confidence level of the resources to the measured and indicated levels. Pending assays are expected to be completed in the next few weeks. After receiving and compiling all of the chemical data, composites of different ore types will be prepared and sent to Western Australia for metallurgical studies. Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. has been contracted to determine the revised resource estimate at the Moblan Lithium Project with the results of this work currently expected at year end.

Phase 1 of the 2010 drilling program was defined by a 50 metre space drilling grid to target the pegmatite sill along approximately 750 metres of strike length and 200 metres down dip and included 49 drill holes totalling 6,836 metres. Phase 2 covered an area of 400 metres along the strike of the pegmatite with a drilling grid spaced at 25 metres and included 48 holes totalling 5,868 metres. Additionally, two holes were drilled approximately 400 metres north of the surface expression of the sill to check any deep extension of the sill.

Drilling confirmed the sill continuity along strike for over 700 metres (Section 506450 E to section 507150 E) - see: http://www.globestarmining.com/SiteResources/moblan2010ddh.pdf. The sill dips approximately 300N, averages nearly 40 metres thick and can be classified as an albite-spodumene pegmatite with three main zones from the contacts inward: an albite-rich contact wall zone with quartz, dark green mica and generally minor K-feldspar; a K-feldspar zone with quartz bands, green mica and lesser albite; and a central quartz-spodumene core zone generally banded with concordant albite-K-feldspar-quartz-mica subzones and chains of coarse K-feldspar crystals. Hole 1331-10-105 intercepted 2 metres grading 1.72 % Li2O, in a deep northward projection of the main sill, showing that although thinning, the sill is traceable for over 400 metres down dip.

Validated assays have been received for a total of 87 holes and are reported in Table 1 attached to this release. Main intercepts include 36.3 metres grading 1.92 % Li20 in hole 1331-10-14; 37.4 metres grading 1.99% Li20 in hole 1331-10-22; 28.8 metres grading 1.98% Li20 in hole 1331-10-36; 42.6 metres grading 1.89% Li20 in hole 1331-10-40; 40.9 metres grading 1.82% Li20 in hole 1331-10-57; 37.0 metres grading 1.85 % Li20 in hole 1331-10-68; 36.3 metres grading 2.00% Li20 in hole 1331-10-70; 44.4 metres grading 1.94% Li20 in hole 1331-10-89; 42.5metres grading 1.87 % Li20 in hole1331-10-101; 39.6 metres grading 1.85% Li20 in hole 1331-10-103; 37.9 metres grading 1.94% Li20 in hole 1331-10-104 and 33.2 metres grading 2.42% Li20 in hole 1331-10-106.

Analysis and Quality Control

Sample preparation was contracted to Table Jamesienne de Concertation Miniere (TJCM) laboratory in Chibougamau, a company unrelated to GlobeStar. Pulps were shipped to the SGS laboratories in Toronto, Canada and were analyzed by coupled plasma emission spectrometry ("ICP") analysis after Sodium peroxide fusion. Full QA/QC procedures were implemented, including the insertion of in house and commercial standards, duplicates and blank.
About GlobeStar

GlobeStar Mining Corporation is a Canadian-based mining and exploration company producing copper, gold and silver at its Cerro de Maimon mine in the Dominican Republic. GlobeStar is also exploring for copper and gold on its extensive mineral concessions in the Dominican Republic, and holds significant interests in the Moblan Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada, and the Cumpie Hill lateritic nickel deposit in the Dominican Republic. GlobeStar maintains a listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (symbol: GMI).

Sergio Gelcich, Ph.D, P.Geo., GlobeStar's Senior Geologist and a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101, supervised the preparation of and verified the technical information contained in this release, including sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information contained in this release. Dr. Gelcich visited the project during and after the drilling program and a random selection of drill hole collars locations were checked by a GPS instrument. After drilling was completed, sample identification and geological logging was reviewed and verified in a number of randomly picked holes. The assay data base was built in Access using import macros that minimize the handling of the original Excel files send by SGS.
