AccelRate Options Strategic Gold Prospect Proximal to Kinross Golden Saddle Deposit

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 25, 2011) - AccelRate Power Systems Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AXP) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement entitling it to acquire a 100% interest in the BRC property, which is located in the heart of the Yukon White Gold District only 5 km east-northeast of the 1 million ounce Golden Saddle deposit. The BRC claims are contiguous with and bordered by Kinross claims to the west, south, and east. The BRC option brings the Company's total Yukon land position under option to 3782 claims totaling more than 79,000 hectares, comprising 24 stand-alone gold prospects primarily targeting either the Carlin or Orogenic Coffee Creek models.

The BRC option and all previously announced property options are subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange and completion of the Change of Business ("COB") announced by AccelRate on November 24, 2010. Upon successful completion of the COB, the Company intends to change its name to Goldstrike Resources Ltd. and will become a pure gold explorer.

The BRC property contains at least two strongly anomalous, parallel east-northeast gold trends approximately 1 km long. These two trends are parallel to, and approximately on trend with the Golden Saddle deposit, located only 5 km to the west-southwest. The gold values seen on the BRC claims are comparable to the values found in the initial soil geochemistry over the Golden Saddle deposit. The highest government gold silt anomaly in the area was taken from a creek draining north from the parallel BRC gold trends, and a 585.2 ppb gold soil sample was taken only 4 km east of the BRC property in 2005. The ridge that adjoins the west side of the BRC property is at the head of four creeks that feature active placer mining. Based on the geochemical trends, their orientations, and the geology and geophysics, the BRC claims appear to have many of the key indicators that led to the discovery of the Kinross Golden Saddle deposit.

The next phase of exploration will be planned to include detailed geological mapping, prospecting, infill soil geochemistry, deep auger sampling and trenching directed towards identifying key horizons and drill target definition.

"The BRC property is a valuable strategic asset that adds substantial value to our extensive Yukon gold exploration portfolio," said AccelRate President and CEO Reimar Koch. "We have an excellent land position in all of the major gold plays in the Territory, with numerous strong targets and an experienced Yukon technical team in place, as well as the funding required to execute an aggressive exploration program in 2011. The Company has great expectations for the upcoming phase of exploration. Having exposure to this emerging gold district is certain to add shareholder value well into the future."

Mr. Bryant, President of Petro One, said, "We are very pleased with the additional properties that AccelRate has acquired rights to since optioning the Lucky Strike from Petro One, and with AccelRate's recent $ 6 million dollar financing. We will now be able to operate as a pure oil company focused on exploration and development while maintaining significant upside potential from a substantial equity position in AccelRate, a 30% carried interest in the Lucky Strike property and an NSR on each of the Lucky Strike and BRC claim blocks. The equity position will also provide exposure to AccelRate's 22 other Gold properties in the Yukon. We are confident that the Lucky Strike and BRC option arrangements will create significant additional shareholder value for the shareholders of Petro One."
