GlobeStar’s Lithium Project

Toronto, Ontario September 17, 2009. GlobeStar Mining Corporation (“GlobeStar”) (TSX:GMI) today announced key highlights of the continuing development of GlobeStar’s 60% owned Moblan lithium deposit (the “Moblan Lithium Project”) located approximately 100 kilometres north of Chibougamau, Québec. The Moblan Lithium Project is located next to a local highway and is being explored in conjunction with SOQUEM Inc. (“SOQUEM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Société générale de financement du Québec, an industrial and financial holding corporation of the government of Québec.

Highlights

• Drilling to date at the Moblan Lithium Project has outlined a near-surface 40 metre thick pegmatite sill which hosts a NI-43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource estimate of high quality spodumene mineralization totalling 5.3 million tonnes grading 1.51% 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 cutoff grade. The deposit has been drilled to a vertical depth of approximately 50 metres and remains open at depth.
  
  
• The pegmatite sill hosting the Moblan Lithium Project sub-crops below thin overburden and is gently dipping at approximately 30º thus making the deposit suitable to open pit mining at an estimated stripping ratio of less than 1 to 1.
  
  
• Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that a high quality lithium concentrate containing approximately 91% spodumene and approximately 7.2% Li₂O may be produced from the Moblan Lithium Project. High quality lithium concentrate may be sold directly to end users in the glass and ceramic sectors or may be further upgraded to battery quality lithium carbonate. Developers of automotive batteries are continuing to focus on lithium as one of the key elements for such batteries.
  
  
• The robust outlook for lithium demand has prompted GlobeStar to initiate planning for the fast track development of the Moblan Lithium Project which based upon the grades estimated to date could ultimately rank among the highest grade undeveloped lithium deposits in the world.

Moblan Lithium Project

GlobeStar has been actively exploring the pegmatite swarm in the vicinity of the Moblan Lithium Project during the past nine years and in 2008 earned a 60% interest in SOQUEM’s mineral claims which host the Moblan Lithium Project. GlobeStar also owns mineral claims directly adjacent to the Moblan Lithium Project which contain pegmatite dykes with lithium, tantalum and niobium mineralization. GlobeStar’s expenditures on these properties have totalled over US$550,000 during the past five years.

Development work on the Moblan Lithium Project has included surface mapping, Diamond drilling, metallurgical work at SGS Lakefield and a mineral resource estimate by an independent consultant. Exploration during 2009 by SOQUEM has focused on surface trenching and geological mapping.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, GlobeStar will evaluate its strategic alternatives for the Moblan Lithium Project while expediting the development of this important lithium deposit.

These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to: (a) the accuracy of geologic interpretations and studies of the Moblan Lithium Project and (b) the ability of GlobeStar to successfully continue its exploration activities in respect of the Moblan Lithium Project. Because of these risks and uncertainties and, as a result of a variety of factors, the actual results, expectations, achievements or performance may differ materially from those anticipated, implied or indicated by these forward-looking statements. Although GlobeStar believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurances that the expectations of any forward-looking statements will prove to be correct.
