PSR Polar Star Mining Corporation

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES

Polar Star Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PSR) ("Polar Star" or the "Company")
today reminded shareholders that 10:00 a.m. ET tomorrow, April 15, is the
deadline for voting their YELLOW proxy in time to be counted at the Company's
annual meeting on April 17, 2009.


"This vote is crucial to determining the future of our Company and every
shareholder should ensure their voice is heard - no matter how many shares they
own," said Stephen G. Roman Executive Chairman of Polar Star.


Mr. Roman noted that the choice for shareholders is clear. They can hand over
control of the Company to dissident shareholder Douglas Willock and his
inexperienced nominees so he can pursue a poorly conceived strategy based on
unrealistic projections for the Chepica Project in Chile. Or, shareholders can
support the management slate of directors, an experienced and capable Board with
a carefully considered plan to develop long-term value within Polar Star.


Polar Star also reminds shareholders that:

- The Company has issued a draft report on the grades and tonnage of the
resource at the Chepica Project which found it to be uneconomic to mine under
any scenario, vindicating the Board's position. The report indicates the
resource grade is only 0.48 per cent copper and 2.6 grams gold per tonne with
only a 401,000 - tonne Measured and Indicated Resource at these grades. This is
less than a third of the grade promised by Mr. Willock whose entire "vision" for
Polar Star is based on his overly optimistic expectations that Chepica could
provide the cash flow to develop further properties. In fact, Chepica would
simply consume more valuable shareholder funds.


- Polar Star has, on the other hand, also announced the encouraging results of
its initial drilling and induced polarization surveys at the Montezuma Project.
Based on its experience, the Board believes Montezuma is a much more prospective
opportunity for Polar Star than Chepica.


- Leading proxy advisory firm RiskMetrics Group has recommended that Polar Star
shareholders vote in favour of the management nominees at the annual meeting. It
noted "The management nominees are highly experienced, have successful track
records and appear better able to create shareholder value...The Board's
strategy appears reasonable and prudent in the circumstances."(i)


- The Board has strengthened the management team with the appointment of David.
J Libby, P. Eng., as President. Mr. Libby has many years of experience in mining
operations around the world. He supplements an experienced Board that contrasts
dramatically with Mr. Willock's nominees who, while associates of Mr. Willock,
lack any meaningful operating experience in mining.


- Mr. Willock and his agents have made a number of misleading statements to
shareholders and have used questionable tactics in their efforts to seize
control of Polar Star. Shareholders are advised to find the facts in the
Company's Management Proxy Circular, at the Polar Star website,
www.polarstarmining.com, or by contacting the Company's proxy solicitation agent
Laurel Hill Advisory Services, LLC toll-free at 1-888-812-9185.


"There is still time to ensure your voice is heard and counted in this decisive
vote, but you must act immediately," Mr. Roman said. "We urge you vote now and
to vote your YELLOW proxy for long-term value for all Polar Star shareholders."


Shareholders who have not yet voted or have voted a blue dissident proxy, can
still vote their YELLOW proxy now in support of the management nominees It is
the latest dated proxy received before proxy cut-off that is counted and
overturns any previous proxies submitted.


Shareholders with questions or requiring assistance in completing their YELLOW
form of proxy are asked to contact Polar Star's proxy solicitation agent, Laurel
Hill Advisory Services, LLC toll-free at 1-888-812-9185. To be valid, proxies
must be received by 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on April 15, 2009. Please take
action now, Internet and Telephone voting is available for registered and non
registered shareholders to ensure your vote is received before the deadline.
