Vancouver, British Columbia - Polaris Minerals Corporation (TSX: PLS) today announced that its subsidiary, Eagle Rock Aggregates Inc., has not yet completed the due diligence review of the 12.4 acre Pier B site in the Port of Long Beach, California and has proposed terms to the seller for continuing the work. If a further extension is not forthcoming the purchase agreement will be deemed to have terminated with the return of the Company's deposit.

Marco Romero, President and CEO of Polaris said: "We need to extend the due diligence period to allow sufficient time to further communicate with the regulatory agencies on our plans for addressing the environmental challenges of the site. It is vital that we gain comfort from the regulators before we proceed with this investment decision." Mr. Romero continued "Entering the massive Southern California market is a priority. We would like to continue pursuing the Pier B opportunity together with other potential California port sites with the objective of bringing new receiving terminals into operation before the next growth cycle in construction activity."

Polaris Minerals Corporation is exclusively focused on the development of quarries and the production of construction aggregates on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, for marine transport to urban markets on the west coast of North America to meet growing local supply deficits. In 2007, Polaris began shipping sand and gravel from the Orca Quarry to San Francisco Bay, Vancouver, and Hawaii.
