If you have the original press release on paper, reference like this:
Watersmith, C. 2000, BHP enters new era, media release, BHP limited, Melbourne, 1 March Format: Author, year, Title, format, publisher, city, day and month of release.
If the same item was online then you'd reference it like this
Watersmith, C. 2000, BHP enters new era, media release, BHP, Melbourne, 1 March, viewed 18 July 2012, <www.bhp.com.au/mediarelease18897/>.
Format: Author, year, Title, format, publisher, city, day and month of release, viewed date, <url>.
If you don't know the author you'll have to begin the reference with the title however if you found the press release on an organisation’s own website without a specific author attribution, you can assume the organisation to be the author.
