Polar Petroleum Corp. Appoints Engineering, Surveying and Logistical Experts to the Company's Advisory Board

Polar Petroleum Corp. (OTCBB:POLR) (herein after "Polar Petroleum", "Polar" and/or "the Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Steven Costa as Engineering Advisor, Mr. Peter Brown as Surveying Advisor, and Mr. David Walker as Logistical Advisor to the Company's Advisory Board. The expertise of the advisors will be drawn upon as needed as Polar Petroleum moves forward with its plans for the exploration, development and production of oil and gas on its North Slope assets in Alaska.

Polar Petroleum's President & CEO Daniel Walker commented: "As a startup company, one of our greatest challenges in creating shareholder value is to find ways to keep our costs low while still maximizing the full potential of our properties and the potential of current market opportunities. We can effectively accomplish that goal by having Steven, Peter and David provide us with valuable technical and business strategy support on a part time basis as we carry out our plan of operations in Alaska."

STEVEN COSTA – ENGINEERING ADVISOR

Steven Costa represents professional experience in diesel fitting, manufacturing and engineering sectors in the areas of technical and business operations, as well as in administrative procedures. His vast experience in the mechanical and engineering sectors, particularly with seismic vibrators, will be of substantial benefit to Polar Petroleum.

Steven began his career working for Scania Australia where he built an extensive knowledge of heavy and light vehicles over a period of 10 years. He then leveraged this knowledge to embark on a career in the mining and exploration sector within Australia.

Steven worked as a mechanic and engineer for Australia's leading exploration contractor to the resources sector, Terrex Seismic. While with Terrex, he worked on many projects including for Santos and Beach Petroleum looking for oil and gas; for QGC looking for coal seam gas; and on other mineral projects targeting zinc, gold, coal and geothermal.

Steven's vast industry knowledge led to him maintaining and repairing all the vehicles used in the process of exploration, including the Komatsu D65 dozers, the graders, and, most important, the vibrators.

Since leaving Terrex in 2012, Steven now works for BHP Billiton on their Groote Eylandt project looking to mine Manganese in the Australian Northern Territory.

PETER BROWN – SURVEYING ADVISOR

Peter Brown represents experience with both Private and Public sector clients, taking projects from briefing stage through to design and practical completion to successfully increase the value of the specific built asset.

His current work includes serving as Project Surveyor for market leading Global Built Asset Consultancy EC Harris LLP (ECH). Among ECH's activities are providing project control services for FTCO Group in Saudi Arabia; consulting with major Oil & Gas clients including Shell, ExxonMobil, BP and Saudi Aramco; and providing Shell with program controls, contract advisory and real estate project management services across 26 countries through a Global Enterprise Framework Agreement (EFA).

During his time with ECH, Peter's role has involved projects ranging in size and value while requiring vital technical and analytical skills necessary to ensure the maximum return from an asset across its lifecycle: project cost analysis, financial reporting, contract procurement, contract administration, defect diagnosis, lease interpretation, and statutory regulation interpretation and compliance.

Peter holds a B.Sc. (Hons) and is currently seeking accreditation from the Royal Institute of Charted Surveyors with a view to sitting for the Assessment of Professional Competence in the near future.
