Arctic Star stakes Torrie Kimberlite Cluster at Lac de Gras

January 16, 2015 - Arctic Star Exploration Corp, ("Arctic Star" or the "Company") (TSXv-ADD) is pleased to announce ac
--->quisition of 100% of the "Triceratops Property" in the Slave Craton of Northwest Territories, Canada.  The Triceratops
---> Property covers six historical kimberlite discoveries, and consists of 62 contiguous claims with an area of 46,840 he
--->ctares located 31km NW of the Ekati diamond mine.  Arctic Star now has two 100 percent owned, highly prospective diamo
--->nd properties in the Lac de Gras kimberlite field:  T-Rex and Cave Bear.

Six kimberlites: Vega, S-141, Torrie, Sputnik, Sue and Eddie, previously discovered during the Lac de Gras diamond rus
--->h are present on the Triceratops Property.  These historical discoveries, documented in mineral exploration assessment
---> reports, government databases and research papers contained low diamond counts, but higher grade kimberlite pipes cou
--->ld occur nearby.

Northwest Territories KIDD database, a spatial record of historical till sampling results, shows three unexplained kim
--->berlite indicator mineral (KIM) dispersal trains that contain pyrope, chrome diopside, ilmenite, and olivine on the Tr
--->iceratops property.  Complex KIM dispersal trains near the Torrie kimberlite cluster are difficult to explain with cur
--->rent bedrock discoveries. Undiscovered kimberlites may have contributed to till geochemistry, but previous exploration
---> techniques were unable to detect them.

Arctic Star plans on using heli-borne gravity and other modern diamond exploration methods at Triceratops to generate 
--->new drill targets amongst the KIM dispersal trains and kimberlite cluster.  On the adjacent Ekati property, 6 new kimb
--->erlites were discovered using a modern heli-borne gravity survey.  One kimberlite, called Impala, is significantly dia
--->mondiferous.  Arctic Star hopes for similar success.

Arctic Star's VP of exploration Buddy Doyle states, "We are very pleased to increase our land position in the prolific
---> Lac de Gras kimberlite field.  With T-Rex and Triceratops, Arctic Star now has one of the largest 100 percent owned l
--->and positions near the Ekati and Diavik diamond mines." 

Buddy Doyle Bc App Sc Geol. MAUSIMM, the author of this press release, has 31 years' experience in geology, with much 
--->of this time focused on successful diamond exploration. Kevin Kivi, PGeol and Qualified Person, approves the technical
---> content of this press release.
