(TSXV:ADD) (FRANKFURT:82A1) (WKN:A2DFY5) ("Arctic Star" or the "Company") further to the Company's news release dated June 21, 2022, Arctic Star is pleased to confirm that its non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.07 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 is fully subscribed.

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share") and one non-transferable share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.10 per Share.

The Warrants will contain an accelerated option clause that states that if the Shares close at or above $0.30 for 5 consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), then the Warrants must be exercised within a 60 day period by the warrant holders, or failing which, the Warrants shall expire as null and void.

Subject to conditional approval of the TSXV, the Company expects to close the Private Placement in the week of June 27, 2022.

Closing of the Private Placement is subject to certain customary conditions, including, without limitation, approval of the TSXV. The securities to be issued under the Private Placement will be offered by way of private placement in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario and such other provinces or territories of Canada as may be determined by the Company, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. Securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period which will expire four months and one day from the date of closing of the Private Placement.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to carry out exploration on its Diagras Joint Venture (81.5% Arctic Star) and for general and corporate purposes.

Kimberlite samples from the Arbutus kimberlite and Sequoia kimberlite have arrived at the SRC (Saskatchewan Research Council) Diamond laboratory in Saskatoon and processing has commenced. The first set of diamond results are expected mid-July.
