Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ADD) (the "Company" or "Arctic Star")
is pleased to announce that Aeroquest International Ltd. has completed airborne
magnetic and radiometric surveys on three properties located in the Carbo area
of 'The Rocky Mountain Rare Metal Belt' of northern British Columbia. 


The Cap, Seebach and Javorsky rare earth element ("REE") and rare metal
properties are all located within the immediate vicinity of Spectrum Mining
Corporation's Wicheeda REE Discovery as well as the Carbo Project which has been
drilled by Canadian International Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CIN). Arctic Star
is conducting exploration under its option to earn up to 100% interest in these
properties. The group of claims are located 80 km northeast of Prince George and
together comprises 20 mineral claims covering approximately 9,129 hectares,
making it one of the largest land positions in the camp.


The heli-borne AeroMAG magnetic gradient and radiometric survey consisted of
approximately 1,500 line kilometres on the three properties. The preliminary
results of the survey have identified several radiometric anomalies on the Cap
property, which are considered to be high priority with respect to the other
surveyed properties in the Carbo area. The magnetic component of the survey
further defined the strong magnetic anomaly as previously defined by the
regional magnetic survey. 


The preliminary results of the airborne survey, in combination with the 2010
prospecting program which located outcrops of syenite with anomalous values of
Nb and Zr (see November 17th News Release) are very encouraging. In the Carbo
area, syenite is often found in close proximity to REE bearing carbonatite.


A detailed mapping and prospecting program, in combination with soil sampling
has commenced on the Cap Property in order to verify the geophysical anomalies
and define drill targets.


Publicly available records show that the nearby Wicheeda REE Discovery owned by
Spectrum Mining showed encouraging results for REE in 2008 and 2009 drilling. 


Neil G McCallum, P.Geo., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument
43-101, supervised the preparation of the technical information in this news
release.


On behalf of the board of directors of ARCTIC STAR EXPLORATION CORP.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains projections and forward-looking information that
involve various risks and uncertainties regarding future events such as: the
likelihood that the property has rare earth and that we will continue a work
program on the properties. Forward-looking information include statements based
on current expectations involving a number of risks and uncertainties and are
not guarantees of future performance of Arctic such as our ability to raise
financing, geological information resulting in changed plans for exploration,
our ability to contract equipment and labour, current economic conditions and
the state of mineral exploration and mineral prices in general .Discoveries of
minerals on other properties are not necessarily an indication of any commercial
mineralization on nearby properties. These risks and uncertainties could cause
actual results and Arctic's plans and objectives to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking information. These and all subsequent written
and oral forward-looking information are based on estimates and opinions of
management on the dates they are made and expressly qualified in their entirety
by this notice. Except as required by law, Arctic assumes no obligation to
update forward-looking information should circumstances or management's
estimates or opinions change.
