Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 11, 2018) - Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (TSXV: ADD) ("Company") is pleased to report that it has staked 8 new mineral claims adjoining the pre-existing Diagras property in the Northwest Territories, a contributing Joint Venture between Arctic Star Exploration (40%) and Margaret Lake (60%). The new claims cover 3,896 hectares increasing the Diagras property to a total of 22,595 hectares, within 29 mineral claims.

The new claims cover 8 previously discovered kimberlites, bringing the property total to 20 known kimberlites.

Diagras is located in the prolific Lac de Gras diamond field just 35 kilometers from the world-class Diavik diamond mine. The Property lies directly on trend with the Diavik deposits currently being mined by a joint venture between Rio Tinto and Dominion Diamond Diavik.

The company exploration strategy has been to conduct ground gravity, Magnetic and EM surveys over and around the known kimberlites in search of previously undiscovered kimberlite or non-magnetic kimberlite phases.

The ground geophysical work carried out to date has generated drill targets near the HL02, Suzanne, Jack Pine, and Black Spruce kimberlites.

The company plans to conduct further geophysical surveys in Spring 2019 followed by a drill program. Table 1 below lists the known kimberlites, with a description of what work has been completed to date, on the property.
