Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ADD) (the "Company" or "Arctic Star")
is pleased to announce that it has engaged the services of Peak Drilling. The
drill rig and crew have mobilized to the 100% owned Redemption Diamond Project
located in the Lac de Gras diamond fields in the Northwest Territories (NT). 


Several compelling Geophysical targets will be drill tested, one of which is
located at the head of the South Coppermine Diamond Mineral train. The South
Coppermine indicator mineral train has excellent diamond indicator mineral
chemistry. It includes numerous pyrope garnets, high-magnesium ilmenites, chrome
diopsides, chromite, and eclogitic garnets. All of these indicator minerals
exhibit compositions that are related to strong diamond mineralization.
Furthermore, micro-diamonds were recovered from this train, confirming the
source is mineralized with diamonds. The indicator minerals are also very
angular, have soft alteration coats and some are even attached to kimberlite,
all evidence that the source is close by. 


In the Lac de Gras area, there are already three producing diamond mines, Ekati
(32 km from Arctic Property), Diavik (47 km from Arctic property), and Snap Lake
(97 km distant). These are comprised of a number of economic diamond kimberlite
pipes and dykes within a prolific diamond field consisting of more than 200
kimberlites. 


The author of this news release is Mr. Buddy Doyle, MAusIMM, a geologist of 30
years experience, 20 years of which is in diamond exploration. The qualified
person is Kevin Kivi, P Geol., a geologist with 20 years experience in diamond
exploration.


The company also encourages the reader to visit our website for an updated
company presentation, which includes maps, as well as geophysical and
geochemical data. To see images of the South Coppermine Target please visit the
