                                              NEWS RELEASE 16-05
     WellStar Energy Corp. Announces Delays In Filing Annual Financial Statements


Calgary, AB, June 15, 2016 - WELLSTAR ENERGY CORP. (TSX-V: WSE) ("WellStar", or the
"Company") advises that the Company is finalizing its audited financial statements for the year ended
January 31, 2016, management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications
(collectively, the "Required Filings") up-to-date.

The Company completed an acquisition of a private company, Nexxtep Resources Ltd., late in 2015.
The audit delay stems from the efforts to bring WellStar and its wholly owned subsidiary Nexxtep under
one corporate umbrella. The Company anticipates the Required Filings will be filed in the month of
June 2016.

On May 30, 2016 the Company advised by way of news release that the filing of the Required Filings
would be delayed beyond the filing deadline of May 30, 2016. In view of the delay in the filing of the
Required Filings, the Company filed an application with the British Columbia Securities Commission
pursuant to the provisions of Part 4 of National Policy 12-203 for a management cease trade order
("MCTO"). The British Columbia Securities Commission subsequently granted the MCTO, prohibiting
certain insiders from trading in the securities of the Company until the Company files the Required
Filings and the MCTO has been revoked. A MCTO does not generally affect the ability of persons who
are not directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade the securities of the Company pending
the filing of the Required Filings on SEDAR. The Company will satisfy the provisions of the alternative
information guidelines under National Policy 12-203 by issuing biweekly default status reports in the
form of news releases so long as it remains in default of the filing requirements set out herein.

For further information please contact Andrew H. Rees at (403) 919-7900.
