VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Polaris Minerals Corporation (TSX:PLS) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. All financial results are in US dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company changed its reporting currency to the US dollar (USD). The change in reporting currency is to better reflect the Company’s principal operating currency, as Polaris incurs the majority of its operating revenues and costs in USD. Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company reported its annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements in Canadian dollars. All comparative figures have been restated into USD.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of $44.0 million, including cash of $76.0 million, compared to working capital of $32.6 million and cash of $42.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Financial Results

Polaris’ operating revenues for the first quarter ending March 31, 2007 were $49,751. During the corresponding period in 2006, the principal assets were under construction and, therefore, the Company had no operating revenues in the period. A loss of $4.3 million ($0.14 per share) was incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to a loss of $1.9 million ($0.07 per share) for the period ended March 31, 2006.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company capitalized $6.0 million to property, plant and equipment, compared with $7.1 million in the corresponding period ended March 31, 2006.

This financial summary should be read in conjunction with the Company’s March 31, 2007 unaudited consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis, both of which will be available on www.sedar.com.

First Quarter Highlights

The Company began production at the Orca Quarry on February 20, 2007, paving the way for the first barge shipments to the Vancouver area on March 22, 2007 and the first Panamax freighter shipment to California on April 1, 2007.

Construction at the Richmond Terminal is proceeding well and is anticipated to be completed around the end of the third quarter, 2007. The Mitigated Negative Declaration application for the proposed Redwood City Terminal received unanimous support from the Redwood City Port Commissioners, a significant step forward in the permitting process.

On March 5, 2007, Polaris received the 2007 e3 Environmental Excellence in Exploration Award from the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada for industry-leading social and environmental sustainability practices. Additionally, on April 16, 2007, Polaris’ subsidiary Company, Orca Sand and Gravel Ltd., received the Stewart O’Brian Safety Award for its exemplary safety record from the Government of British Columbia. The Orca Quarry had zero lost-time accidents in 2006 during its construction while accumulating more than 100,000 worker hours.
