May 24, 2013, Vancouver, BC - Petrostar Petroleum Corp. (TSX-Venture: PEP, "Petrostar" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has executed a Letter of Intent with a private oil and gas producer to divest certain P&NG assets.

Under the terms of the LOI, Petrostar, and its subsidiaries, will divest all interests in the Beaverhill Lake and Joarcam areas of Alberta, and its remaining Bakken interests for the nominal sum of two million dollars ($2,000,000) in common equity of the purchasing company.

The asset sale is conditional on the purchasing company successfully completing its listing in the public market. In the event entry into the public market is not achieved, the assets will revert back to Petrostar and its subsidiaries.

All terms and conditions are also subject to regulatory and subsidiary approvals.

R.M. Loree, Petrostar's CEO, stated:

"This is an excellent opportunity for Petrostar to develop its P&NG assets and gain a positive equity position in another industry player. With the current focus of our mandate being the modular refineries, we can use this opportunity to lower our overhead and keep focus on our primary objectives."
