March 7, 2013, Vancouver, BC - Petrostar Petroleum Corp. (TSX-Venture: PEP, "Petrostar" or "the Company") is very pleased that the previously announced transaction between Elmdale Resources Ltd. and Petrostar (see news releases dated August 16 and October 17, 2012) has been approved for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Exchange approval will result in the transfer of a 100% W.I. ownership in two wells (06-32-18-25W4 & 10-31-18-25W4) in the field of Herronton, Alberta, from Elmdale to Petrostar. In consideration, Petrostar will issue 1,250,000 common shares of its stock to the shareholders of Elmdale at a deemed price of $0.15. The shares will be subject to a four-month hold period.

R.M. Loree, President and CEO of Petrostar, states:

"We have conducted field tests utilizing the Booster Technology available to Petrostar and its operating subsidiaries, and found the results to be very favourable. The proximity of the two natural gas wells listed above coincides with the Company's current developments with Farrow Distillation Corp. From a strategic point of view, it is important to have the ability to hedge costs for natural gas feedstock within the Company's own refining interests."
