("Starrex" or the "Company") (CSE: STX) hereby updates its news releases dated December 9, 23 and 31, 2015 and January 12, 2016 regarding its intention to restate and re-file: (i) its first, second and third quarter unaudited interim financial statements for the periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2015; (ii) the corresponding management's discussions and analyses for the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2015; and (iii) the management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2014 (collectively, the "Restatements").

As mentioned in its December 23, 2015 press release, the Company has been in discussions with staff of the Ontario Securities Commission respecting the treatment of recent acquisitons which may affect its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company nevertheless intends to file the Restatements as soon as is reasonably possible.

The Company had applied to the Ontario Securities Commission for a management cease trade order in accordance with the the terms of National Policy 12-203. The Ontario Securities Commission issued a temporary management cease-trade order on December 30, 2015 which was made permanent on January 11, 2016. Such management cease trade order, which prohibits the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Philip Garrett Clayton, and Chief Financial Officer, Deborah Ramirez, from all trading in, and all acquisitions of, securities of Starrex until two full business days following receipt by the Ontario Securities Commission of all filings which the Company is required to make under Ontario securities law or other order of the Director, remains in effect.
