Arctic Star Update On Redemption Diamond Project, NWT‏

August 18th, 2014 Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (TSXV-ADD) has received the following report from the operator of the Redemption Project, North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV-NAR). North Arrow reports that it has completed an exploration drilling program at the Redemption Diamond Project in the Northwest Territories. The property is located in the Lac de Gras region, approximately 32 km southwest of, and 47 km west of the Ekati and Diavik Diamond Mines, respectively.

A total of 799.8 m of drilling tested seven targets located in the central part of the property near the up ice termination of the South Coppermine kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) train. The targets included various combinations of gravity, magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical responses that were identified based on results of a detailed data compilation and new airborne and ground geophysical surveys. None of the drill holes definitively encountered a bedrock kimberlite source for the South Coppermine KIM train. Drill hole 14-RED23-08 (Az. 180 degrees; dip -60 degrees) tested a linear gravity low and encountered predominantly fresh to weakly altered granite that included a moderately to strongly fractured fault zone from 89.9 m to 99.7 m downhole. This fault zone contained intervals of dull green clay gouge which have been collected for kimberlite indicator mineral analyses.

The property hosts a number of lake based geophysical targets that could not be tested as part of the current drilling program. The Company will also continue to evaluate the comprehensive project exploration database, including information on surficial geology and an evaluation of the geophysical data sets for the identification of more subtle, and perhaps linear structural kimberlite targets.

North Arrow is exploring the Redemption property under an option agreement with Arctic Star, under which the Company can earn a 55% interest by incurring $5 million in exploration expenditures prior to July 1, 2017.
