About Kairos

Kairos is a capital pool company created to identify potential acquisitions of commercially viable businesses and/or assets that have the potential to generate profits and add shareholder value.

The common shares in the capital of Kairos ("Common Shares") are listed for trading on the Exchange under the trading symbol "KRS.P". It is currently anticipated that trading of the Common Shares will remain halted until the Exchange has reviewed, among other things, the 43-101 Report (as defined below) and all other documents required by the Exchange have been filed.

About Polar Star

Polar Star was originally incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) as Polar Mining Corporation. Pursuant to articles of amendment dated August 1, 2007, in connection with a reverse takeover transaction, Polar Star was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act as Polar Star Mining Corporation. Minera Polar Mining Chile Limitada ("Minera Polar") is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Polar Star and is incorporated under the laws of Chile.

Polar Star is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and is an emerging exploration company with a focus on building value in Chile through discovery and development. Its flagship property, Montezuma, covers 40 kilometres of the West Fault and the cross-cutting Esperanza Fault system and is located between Codelco's Radomiro Tomic - Chuquicamata - Ministro Hales (formerly known as Mansa Mina) group of copper-molybdenum porphyry deposits, and Antofagasta PLC's El Tesoro - Esperanza - Polo Sur group of copper-gold porphyry deposits. The head offices of Polar Star are located in Toronto.

The Assets

Polar Star beneficially owns 100% interest in (i) 16 mineral exploration concessions in Chile (the "Nancagua Property"); and (ii) 29 exploration concessions and has an option to acquire 100% in five (5) exploitation concessions (the "Fortuna Property"). As described below, Kairos will also have the option to acquire an interest in a non-core property of Polar Star, that as of the date of the Agreement, Polar Star owns or has a right to earn an interest in (the "Non-core Property").

Nancagua Property

Located six (6) kilometres east of the town of Nancagua and 80 kilometres north of Talca, the Nancagua Property consists of 16 exploration concessions totalling 4,800 hectares staked and owned 100% by Minera Polar. The Nancagua Property covers an epithermal gold - silver system about 700 metres wide and at least three (3) kilometres long situated on the western flank of the Chilean Central Graben. A strong system of northerly trending faults cuts this sequence and is the locus of extensive hydrothermal alteration and precious metal mineralization. At surface these mineralized faults are zones of quartz veining and silicification within an envelope of sericite - clay alteration containing limonite, hematite and goethite. At depth in drill holes and locally at surface in pervasively silicified zones l-2% pyrite and trace chalcopyrite is present. Quartz tends to be cryptocrystalline and locally drussy. Extensive geological mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysics conducted by Agate Bay Resources ("Agate") in 1994 outlined seven (7) zones of extensive gold and silver enriched veining and silicification. Surface values from these zones range from a few grams of gold and silver to over 15 g/t Au over 2.5 metres width with adjacent wall rocks grading 0.5 to 2.5 g/t Au over several to 10 metres. In 1995-96, Agate also completed two (2) short phases of reconnaissance drilling totalling about 1,600 metres in 20 shallow holes. Significant values were cut in eight (8) holes and range from 1.5 g/t Au and 6.6 g/t Ag over 31 metres to 9.2 g/t Au and 65 g/t Ag over 11 metres.

Fortuna Property

The Fortuna Property consists of 29 exploration concessions totalling 7,700 hectares owned by Minera Polar and 5 exploitation concessions totalling 1,500 hectares owned by a third party with whom Minera Polar holds an option to purchase agreement whereby it can purchase 100% interest in their properties by making staged payments totalling US$1,500,000 by May 2014. Regionally, the Fortuna Property lies within the western part of the El Indio Gold Belt, 35 kilometres west of Barrick Gold Corporation's Pascua-Lama project and covers several extensive hydrothermal alteration zones enriched in gold, silver and copper. They largest of these, the Casablanca Zone, was prospected in 1995-96 by a local Chilean company, Minera Andelá ("Andelá") and visited and check sampled by Agate during this time period. The Casablanca alteration zone covers an area of about 3.5 square kilometres and, based on Andelá and Agate's sampling, is generally auriferous in the range of 0.2-0.5 g/t. However the northern half of the zone contains stronger gold values ranging up to highs of 13.5 g/t with the average of some 50 composite rock chip samples being 1.3 g/t. This zone also shows copper and silver values with the gold in the ranges of 0.1 - 0.39% Cu and 2 - 15 g/t Ag and in this respect has strong similarities to the Cerro Casales gold-copper porphyry in the Maricunga Gold Belt.

The Acquisition

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement:

1. Polar Star has advanced an amount equal to $165,000 (the "Initial Work Fee") to commence an initial work program, and shall be responsible for the completion of such program. Upon closing of the Acquisition, Kairos shall reimburse Polar Star for the Initial Work Fee;
2. Kairos shall retain an independent firm to complete a National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects compliant geology report in respect of the Nancagua Property, the Fortuna Property and/or the Non-core Property, to be determined by Kairos (the "43-101 Report"). Polar Star shall provide Kairos with access to all information necessary to enable Kairos to prepare the 43-101 Report, which report will be prepared at the cost of Kairos;
3. Kairos shall have the option until September 30, 2013 of spending $600,000 on a drilling and exploration program on the Nancagua Property and/or spending $850,000 on a drilling and exploration program on the Fortuna Property in exchange for which Kairos shall earn a 51% working interest in each property for which it completes such a program (the "Earning Phase"). Included in the $850,000 drilling and exploration program on Fortuna shall be option payments due to a third party of US$100,000 due May 31, 2012 and US$150,000 due November 30, 2012;
4. Kairos agrees that all annual land holding taxes, property option payments and associated costs (the "Property Costs") for the Nancagua Property, the Fortuna Property and/or the Non-core Property, as applicable, shall be paid by Kairos. Such Property Costs shall be considered part of the work commitment spending requirements. Once Kairos earns 65% of the Nancagua Property, the Fortuna Property and/or the Non-core Property, Property Costs shall be apportioned as to the participants interest;
5. upon Kairos earning a 51% interest in the Nancagua Property, the Fortuna Property and/or the Non-core Property, as applicable, Kairos and Polar Star shall either establish a joint venture or incorporate a joint venture company, which shall be owned 51% by Kairos and 49% by Polar Star (the "Joint Venture Company"), for the purposes of the continued exploration and exploitation of the Nancagua Property, the Fortuna Property and/or the Non-core Property, as applicable. Kairos shall be the operator of the Joint Venture Company so long as it holds an interest of 51% or greater. In the event Kairos earns an interest in two or three properties, then two or three Joint Venture Companies will be established, as applicable;
6. upon completion of the Earning Phase in respect of the Nancagua property, Kairos shall have the option of increasing its interest in the Nancagua property as follows:
   1. if Kairos spends an additional $1,100,000 on the Nancagua property on or before September 30, 2013, Kairos shall earn an additional 9% interest in the Nancagua property;
   2. if Kairos spends an additional $1,500,000 on the Nancagua property on or before September 30, 2014, Kairos shall earn an additional 5% interest in the Nancagua property;
   3. if Kairos spends an additional $3,000,000 on the Nancagua property on or before September 30, 2017 or brings the Nancagua property to production, Kairos shall earn an additional 10% interest in the Nancagua property;
7. upon completion of the Earning Phase in respect of the Fortuna property, Kairos shall have the option of increasing its interest in the Fortuna properties as follows:
   1. if Kairos spends an additional $600,000 on the Fortuna property on or before September 30, 2013, and funds option payments to a third party of US$150,000 due November 30, 2012 and US$250,000 due May 31, 2013, Kairos shall earn an additional 9% interest in the Fortuna property;
   2. if Kairos spends an additional $600,000 on the Fortuna property on or before September 30, 2014, and funds option payments to a third party of US$300,000 due November 30, 2012 and US$600,000 due March 31, 2014, Kairos shall earn an additional 5% interest in the Fortuna property; and
   3. if Kairos completes a bankable feasibility study in respect of the Fortuna property on or before September 30, 2021, Kairos shall earn an additional 10% interest in the Fortuna property; and
8. Kairos shall have the option until December 31, 2012 to select a Non-core Property to also earn an interest in. The selection of that property shall be determined by Kairos. Kairos shall spend $600,000, in addition to any option payments to a third party that arise after the selection date of the Non-core Property, within 20 months of the selection date to earn an initial 51% interest in the Non-core Property. The terms to earn additional working interests (in addition to the 51% initial interest) in the Non-core Property shall be structured in a similar format to earn additional working interests in either the Nancagua Property or the Fortuna Property, and will depend on the general nature of the property selected. For a Non-core Property similar to the Fortuna Property the additional expenditures levels necessary to earn additional interests will be similar to the Fortuna Property expenditures schedule in section (g) above, and similarly, if the Non-core Property is similar to the Nancagua Property then the additional expenditures levels necessary to earn additional interests will be similar to the Nancagua Property expenditures schedule in section (f) above. For greater certainty, the Non-core Property shall be in addition to the Nancagua Property and the Fortuna Property, and Kairos may continue to earn into the Nancagua Property and/or the Fortuna Property, as applicable. Also, for greater certainty, lease or option payments due to be paid on the Non-core Property will remain the responsibility of Polar Star until the date that Kairos makes the selection regarding the Non-core Property.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, Kairos intends to change its name to Kairos Exploration Inc. or such other name as is acceptable to the shareholders of Kairos.
