Re:
20,000,000 Shares Common Stock $.001 Par Value
Form S-8
Registration Statement
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
As
special securities counsel for Novastar Resources Ltd.., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), you have requested my opinion in connection
with the
preparation and filing with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission
of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
registering 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.001par value
per share, for issuance pursuant to that certain 2005 Augmented Compensation
Plan for
Outside Consultants (the "Plan"), which was made effective on August
15, 2005 and
which is attached to the Registration Statement as an exhibit.
The contents of the Registration Statement, with exhibits thereto, are
hereby incorporated by reference.
I have
examined such records and documents and made such examination of law as I
have deemed relevant in connection with this opinion. Based on the foregoing,
and subject to the caveat identified below, I am of the opinion that
the
20,000,000 shares covered by said Registration Statement, when issued in
accordance
with the terms of the Plan and the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration
Statement, will be legally issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.
Moreover,
my opinion is limited to the due issuance of such shares covered by the
Registration Statement and the Plan that are issued for services deemed to
be
permissible pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-7647 (February 25,
1999).
I hereby
consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the above-referenced
Registration Statement. The undersigned does further disclose that the
Company and the undersigned, may subsequently agree that the undersigned
shall receive shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable under the Plan
as compensation for services described in a certain written agreement
entered
into by and between the Company and the undersigned.
Sincerely,
/s/ Gary
R. Henrie
