Arctic Retains 100% of Redemption Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2016) - Arctic Star Exploration Corp, (TSXV: ADD) ("Arctic Star" or the "Company") announces that it has been informed by North Arrow Resources, the Optionee to the Redemption Diamond Exploration property in the Lac De Gras area NT, that it has elected not to complete the option. The property therefore reverts back to Arctic Star 100%.

Arctic Star wishes to take this opportunity to thank North Arrow for its professional and extensive work over the last three years where they spent approx. $4 million concentrating on drill testing numerous geophysical anomalies.

The source of the diamond indicator trains in the area remains illusive. Arctic will wait to receive all the materials from North Arrow before deciding on any further exploration.
