Petrostar Petroleum Corp. plans to issue, through a non-brokered private placement, up to 10 million units of the company at a price of 10 cents per unit for a total of $1-million. Each unit will consist of one flow-through share in the capital of the company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant.

The private placement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and all shares issued thereunder will be subject to a four-month hold period.
The funds will be used to finance a continuing exploration program on leases that are located in the southeast Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba extension of the prolific Bakken oil play.
The company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Bruce A. Scafe to the board of directors. Mr. Scafe brings to Petrostar experience in both corporate communications and finance.
The company also intends to grant a total of 785,000 incentive options to its consultants, officers and directors for a period of two to five years at a price of 10 cents per share.
