VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Polaris Minerals Corporation (“Polaris” or the “Company”) (TSX:PLS) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced public offering of 6 million common shares of the Company at the purchase price of $9.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $54 million (the “Offering”). A syndicate of underwriters led by GMP Securities L.P. and including Canaccord Capital Corporation, CIBC World Markets Inc., Orion Securities Inc., TD Securities Inc. and Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”) acted as underwriters in connection with the Offering.

Polaris has granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 900,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $9.00 per share. If the Underwriters fully exercise the over-allotment option, Polaris will receive additional gross proceeds of $8,100,000.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the Offering to retire existing debt of the Company, to advance the Company’s mineral properties, to advance the Company’s port terminal strategy in the Company’s target markets and for general corporate purposes.
