VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 3, 2013) - Eagle Star Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EGE)(PINKSHEETS:ELGSF)(FRANKFURT:E6R) ("Eagle Star" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has elected Mr. Edvaldo Guimarães as the company's Sales and Marketing Manager and Advisor to its Board of Directors. Mr. Guimarães is highly experienced in the sales and marketing of direct application natural fertilizers in Brazil, has extensive knowledge of the sector and a vast network of contacts to include all of the leading end users of direct application natural fertilizers in Brazil.
Throughout the past 20 years, Mr. Guimarães has held senior positions with many multinational agro-mineral corporations such as Dupont do Brasil, Abubos Araguaia and most recently, MbAC Fertilizers. During his tenure at MbAC, Mr. Guimarães was responsible for developing the company's direct application natural fertilizer business and heading its sales unit. As a result, Mr. Guimarães was able to gain unique understanding of the fertilizer market located in close proximity to both MbAC's Itafos and Eagle Star's Bomfim projects, its potential, key players and their specific requirements.
Mr. Guimarães will therefore be highly instrumental in assisting Eagle Star with executing its plan of producing direct application natural fertilizers at Bomfim and selling them to the local agricultural communities.
