About White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM): White Metal's Flag ship Property is the Gunners Cove Property (the "Property"), located 20 km north of St. Anthony on the Northern Peninsula, Newfoundland. The Property is easily accessible by means of local roads and trails, and consists of 682 claim units (59,402 ha or 594 sq-km). The Company is currently undertaking an airborne time-domain electromagnetic-magnetic survey over the Property. To date, 133 surface grab samples have been collected from the 10 mineralized zones at the Property. The distribution of the samples containing anomalous gold values define an area roughly 5 km x 3 km. Approximately 50% of the grab samples collected in the Gunners Cove area assayed 100 ppb Au (0.1 g/t Au) or greater, with a maximum of 5.9 g/t Au (Mossberg Zone). Silver assay results are also elevated, ranging from less than 1 ppm Ag to a maximum of 9.1 g/t Ag (Cooey Zone) [note: grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to be representative of average grades]. Work to date at the Gunners Cove Property has highlighted a large area of anomalous gold values and extended the discovery area substantially. Historically, this Property has seen very little exploration work and is a recent prospecting discovery, adding to its importance. Precious metal and base metal mineralization is associated with, and appears to be largely hosted by, pyritic nodules and stringers accompanied by minor silicification and local brecciation, and hosted by an extensive black shale unit.

White Metal Resources Corp is a junior exploration company exploring in Canada and currently has 39,855,240 common shares issued and outstanding.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of White Metal Resources Corp.
