SUV Navis Resources Corp

Star Minerals Group Ltd. (CSE:SUV) ("Star") is pleased to announce updated
exploration activities as reported by its joint venture partner Lakeland
Resources Inc. ("Lakeland") (TSX VENTURE:LK)(FRANKFURT:6LL), where Lakeland was
granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in two claims totaling 1,092
hectares located near the settlement of Stony Rapids in the Athabasca Basin,
Saskatchewan.


In preparation for the summer 2014 field program at the Star Property, Lakeland
has received a review of historic and recent exploration from project
consultants Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. of Edmonton, AB; and notes the
following: 


Highlights



--  A one-day exploration program in 2013 found a number of surface grab
    samples enriched in gold, platinum group elements (PGE's), and Rare
    Earth Element's (REE's);

--  Two outcrop samples described as altered, black, cryptocrystalline and
    approximately 200 m apart contained highly anomalous concentrations of
    gold and PGE's, as follow:

    --  Sample 79441: 1.8 g/t Au, 0.08 g/t Pt; 0.12 g/t Pd 
    --  Sample 79447: 5.7 g/t Au; 0.36 g/t Pt; 0.39 g/t Pd

--  A sandstone boulder with anomalous uranium values also contained strong
    enrichment in heavy rare earth elements; while a nearby outcrop
    contained 6.9% TREO's:

    --  Sample 79442 (boulder sample): 257 ppm Uranium, 0.3% TREO (includes
        1,216 ppm Dy2O3 and 321 ppm Y2O3) 
    --  Sample 79447 (outcrop sample): 6.9% TREO (dominantly Light REE
        enriched).



Project Geology and Target Potential

The Star Property covers a quasi-circular basement uplift along the northern
margin of the Athabasca Basin, immediately north of the Company's Gibbons Creek
Property (under option to Declan Resources Inc.). This structural feature is
considered an ideal location for the development of uranium occurrence's
associated with the unconformity or sub-unconformity of the Athabasca Basin. 


A small portion of the uplifted basement outcrop on the Star Property was
prospected with very promising results, as highlighted earlier. In total, 8
outcrop samples and 2 boulder samples were collected. The highly anomalous
concentrations of gold (up to 5.7 g/t Au), platinum group elements (0.75 g/t
PGE's), rare earth elements (up to 6.9% TREO) and highly anomalous uranium;
suggest the presence of a robust hydrothermal system.


The potential for such a regional hydrothermal system is demonstrated by intense
alteration associated with historic uranium mineralization within the Gibbons
Creek Property located immediately to the south. Within the Athabasca Basin,
there are a number of projects where highly anomalous precious metals and/or
rare earth elements occur in spatial relation to Uranium deposits and/or
mineralization. Examples of such mineralization include the Nicholson Bay and
Fish Hook Bay U-Au-PGE occurrences, and the MAW Zone- Wheeler River occurrences.


Preliminary mineralogical work on the REE-bearing samples includes SEM analysis
(Scanning Electron Microscope); BSE analysis (Electron Back-Scatter Analysis);
and EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectrometry) and reveals the following:


Sample #79442 - The Heavy REE values are from fine-grained xenotime. The modal
mineralogy of the sample reveals primarily quartz, with xenotime (3.1%) and
about 1.3% kaolinite/illite clay. Diagenetic-Hydrothermal xenotime accumulations
are known elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin region, and have been associated with
some unconformity-style uranium deposits (McArthur River, Key Lake, McLean Lake
and others). 


Sample #79446 - The sample contains 23.6% monazite, with 16.75% kaolinite/illite
clay. 


About the Property

The Star Property benefits from historic exploration including modern geophysics
and drilling completed by Star Minerals in 2005 to 2008; and work by Eldorado
Nuclear in the 1970's and 1980's. The Property is considered highly prospective
for U, Au, PGE's and REE mineralization. It also benefits from nearby
infrastructure, with power lines and highways nearby. 


NI 43-101 Disclosure

The technical information above has been prepared in accordance with the
Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and
reviewed on behalf of Lakeland by Neil McCallum, P.Geo., of Dahrouge Geological
Consulting Ltd., a qualified person.


Analytical Methods

All rock samples were delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd., an ISO
Certified Laboratory. All samples were analyzed by a 39-element "partial
digestion" with ICP-MS/ICP-OES analysis; and a 49-element "total digestion" with
ICP-MS/ICP-OES analysis. Uranium values are converted to U3O8 values with the
conversion factor of 1.1792.


Samples with high REE values were tested using the 8-REE method whereby the
sample is treated with lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion with subsequent
analysis by ICP-MS and ICP/MS analysis. All REE samples reported herein were
derived using this method. Total Rare Earth Oxides ("TREO") include: La2O3,
Ce2O3, Pr2O3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Gd2O3, Tb2O3, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, Tm2O3,
Yb2O3, Lu2O3, and Y2O3.


All samples were tested using the 1C-OES-Exploration method Fire Assay (with
Platinum and Palladium) on a 30 gram aliquot with an ICP finish.


Joint Venture Terms

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Lakeland has the right to earn a
100% interest in the two claims by making cash payments totaling $60,000 and
issuing 600,000 common shares over a 12 month period. Star has retained the
option of a 25% buyback for payment of 4 times the exploration monies spent by
the Purchaser to the date that the buyback option is exercised. The buyback
option will be exercisable at any time up to a 90 day period following the
completion and publication of a 43-101 compliant resource estimate.


Jim Engdahl President & CEO of Star Minerals Group says, "I am very pleased with
the exploration results released by our Joint Venture partner and look forward
to the next phase of work."
