Arctic Star Diamond Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ADD) ("Arctic Star" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling on its Nickel discovery,
Credit Lake property NT. As reported in our news releases dated May 26 and June
4, 2008, the Company intercepted nickel mineralisation after drilling a single
angled hole (08CR-10) targeting a MaxMin HLEM conductor within the Providence
Lake Greenstone (PLG) Belt.


This hole intersected disseminated, stringer and massive sulphides over a 32.7m
drill interval within amphibolite-grade metamorphosed mafic to ultramafic lava
flows. Massive sulphides were intersected at two intervals (0.2-metre and
0.6-metre width). Assays returned maximum values of 2.92% copper, 1.77% nickel
and 0.16% cobalt from the massive sulphides.


The drilling will initially test of extensions of the nickel zone at depth and
along strike using 30m step outs.


VTEM (heli-borne time domain electromagnetic survey) results have been received.
This work has generated several targets in the New Bigg and Credit Lake
properties and these will be ground verified.


The Credit Lake and New Bigg projects are supervised by Mr. K. R. Kivi, P.Geol.,
a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Kivi has
reviewed the content of this news release.
