Tri-Star Resources plc ("Tri-Star" or the "Company")

Provisional Environmental Permit

20 February 2015

Tri-Star, the integrated antimony development company, is pleased to provide a further update on the Oman Antimony Roaster ("OAR") project.

Strategic & Precious Metals Processing LLC ("SPMP") a company registered in the Sultanate of Oman, in which Tri-Star owns 40%, has received the Provisional Environmental Permit (the "Permit") from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs ("MECA") for the OAR project and the SPMP leased site in the Sohar Free Trade Zone.

Receipt of the Permit follows submission to MECA by SPMP of the required Environmental Permit Application ("EPA") including the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA").

The Permit enables SPMP to commence construction activities and proceed with the businesses activities of SPMP according to the terms and conditions of the EPA. The Permit is renewable annually during construction activities following which a Temporary Operating Permit will be applied for by SPMP before final completion of construction.

The Board of Tri-Star believes receipt of this Permit satisfies the completion condition relating to environmental permitting under the Shareholder's Agreement dated 14 April 2014 between the SPMP joint venture partners. SPMP is actively engaged in meeting all outstanding conditions.
