PSR Polar Star Mining Corporation

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

Polar Star Mining Corporation ("Polar Star" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PSR)
announced today that it has issued an application asking the Ontario Superior
Court of Justice to declare that dissident shareholder Douglas Willock has
breached the Canada Business Corporations Act by illegally soliciting proxies
for the Company's April 17, 2009 annual and special meeting of shareholders.


The Company believes that Mr. Willock has breached the Act by illegally
soliciting proxies without having filed a dissident proxy circular as he is
required to do.


Mr. Willock was under contract to serve as president and chief executive officer
of Polar Star until January when he requisitioned a special meeting to
facilitate a shareholder vote to replace the current Board of Directors. His
contract was terminated as a result of the conflict of interest inherent in the
requisition. He currently remains on the Board of Directors.


The Company believes that Mr. Willock has engaged in unlawful communication with
shareholders and that recent press releases issued by him are misleading and
represent improper proxy solicitation.


"A dissident shareholder is permitted to initiate a proxy contest, but there are
rules in place to protect all shareholders from abuse by the dissident," said
Stephen G. Roman, Executive Chairman of Polar Star. "We believe that Mr. Willock
has abused the rights of other shareholders with his actions. We are seeking the
assistance of the court because it is our duty to act in the best interests of
all shareholders."


The Company is also asking the court for related orders, including:

- restraining Mr. Willock from any further breaches of the Act

- directing him to disclose all communications he has had with Polar Star
shareholders


- removing Mr. Willock from the Board of Directors

- barring him from voting at the annual and special meeting of the Company

- prohibiting him from standing for election to the Company's Board of Directors.

Polar Star will issue a management information circular and provide a form of
proxy for all shareholders in advance of the meeting. The circular is expected
to be mailed by March 26, 2009 and to include a recommendation to shareholders
from the Board of Directors.
