VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 26, 2009) - Clifton Star Resources, Inc (TSX VENTURE:CFO)(FRANKFURT:C3T) is pleased to announce with the property owners (the "Optionors") the successful re-negotiation of new terms for the options governing Clifton Star's right to earn an undivided 100% interest in the Beattie-Donchester-Dumico gold properties (the "Property") in western Quebec. It is the intention of both parties to proceed immediately from the terms outlined in the letters of intent ("LOIs") to finalization of definitive agreements.

The original agreements between Clifton Star and the Optionors are dated May 6, 2008. They were later amended on July 22, 2008, and then June 29, 2009. These agreements, among other things, defined a series of property payments outlined in Table 1 (only remaining payments are shown here; see SEDAR filings dated May 6, 2008 and October 22, 2008).

Table 1. Prior Payment Schedule as of 29 June 2009

The new payment schedule, per the LOI of October 26^th of this year, is highlighted in Table 2.

Table 2. LOIs Payment Schedule as of 26 October 2009

Mr. Harry Miller, President/CEO of Clifton Star, commented as follows:

"We are pleased to have re-negotiated and signed letters of intent with the Optionors regarding our flagship project. There are two key changes to the terms. Firstly, the new agreement allows for a much smaller second payment ($22 million vs. $40 million) and defers the payment date by 28 months (from July 1, 2010 to Dec 1, 2012). Secondly, the agreement defers the final payment to Dec 2017, some five years later than the prior agreements.

We believe these letters of intent developing into definitive agreements provide Clifton Star with ample time to explore and development the Beattie, Donchester, Central Duparquet, and Dumico gold deposits. Further, the new payment schedule is now back-end loaded as opposed to being front-end loaded. This relieves us of a short-term financial encumbrance, allowing Clifton to put more capital into the ground exploring and developing the projects. Currently there are two drills in operation and plans are in place to return to five drills. As well, a number of new initiatives are underway regarding Clifton
Star, and we look forward to reporting their outcomes once realized."
