Arctic Star Enters Into Joint Venture With Equitorial, Commences Geologic Mapping And Geochemical Sampling Program At El Havila‏

Arctic Star Exploration Inc. ("Arctic Star") (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a joint venture agreement (the "Agreement") with Equitorial Exploration Corp. to further explore and evaluate the El Hávila copper-gold property (the "El Hávila Property"), located 30 kilometres east-northeast of Frontino in the state of Antioquia in Colombia. The Company and Equitorial will contribute to exploration and development costs in proportion to their interests. As announced in the news release of November 25, 2013, the Company holds an effective 34% interest in the El Hávila Property, Equitorial holds an effective 51% interest, and the remaining 15% interest is held by the vendor. The initial interests of the Company and Equitorial in the joint venture are 40% and 60%, respectively. Equitorial will be the operator of the El Hávila Property. If a participant elects not to contribute to a program approved by the Management Committee, or fails to contribute after having elected to do so, that participant's interest in the El Hávila Property will be reduced in accordance with a dilution formula. If a participant's interest is diluted to less than 10%, its interest will be relinquished and converted to a 2% net smelter returns royalty.

The Company is also pleased to announce that geologists have been mobilized to the El Hávila Property and geologic mapping, sampling, and soil geochemical surveys have commenced. The property lies within the prolific Choco gold belt, a highly prospective area with potential for porphyry-related gold and copper and epithermal precious metal deposits. The property is hosted within the Santa Cecillia-La Equis volcanic complex on the western slope of the Colombian Western Cordillera mountain range. The area is being explored by numerous companies, including AngloGold Ashanti (La Colosa), Gran Colombia (Marmato) and Continental Gold (Buritica).
