Metallum Resources Inc. to Commence Aggressive Exploration Campaign on M-18 Gold/Silver Property, Argentina

Metallum Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MRV) ("Metallum" or "Company") announces
that it has renewed its surface access agreement with the landowners covering
the mineral rights of its M-18 gold/silver property in Chubut province,
Argentina and is planning to commence an aggressive exploration campaign in the
next few weeks which will include geochemistry, geophysics, and a program of
diamond drilling. Metallum is earning a 70% interest in the M-18 property under
an Option and Joint Venture Agreement from Silver Standard Resources Inc.
("Silver Standard"). The M-18 Property comprises 6,300 hectares measuring 9
kilometres ("km.") east-west by 7 km. north-south. 


Previous geological mapping by Silver Standard at 1:1,000 scale and rock outcrop
sampling has identified a gold/silver-bearing epithermal vein system with
intense alteration over a strike length of at least 1.2 km. with widths of 0.5
km. The system remains open in all directions extending beneath the alluvium.


Gold assay results from 98 grab samples from systematic mapping distributed over
the strike length from this program returned values ranging up to 4.63
grams/tonne ("g/t") gold and 47.20 g/t silver. There were 38 samples grading in
excess of 1.00 g/t gold of which 28 samples had grades ranging from 1.00 to 1.99
g/t gold, 6 samples grading 2.00 to 2.99 g/t gold, 2 samples grading 3.00 to
3.99 g/t gold, and 2 samples in excess of 4.00 g/t gold. 


Elevated epithermal pathfinder elements also were encountered over the entire
length of the zone. For example, multiple samples assayed in excess of 1.0%
lead, 0.1% to 0.3 % zinc, and 1.0% arsenic.


Property due diligence was carried out by Greg Lipton, P.Geo., Metallum's
president and CEO, who is also the Qualified Person for the Company. Geological
mapping and geochemical sampling distributed over the exposed 1.2 km. strike
length of the zone confirmed both the geology and the highly anomalous gold
values obtained by Silver Standard. Gold assay results from 61 grab samples
taken for property due diligence showed values grading from less than 1.0 g/t to
in excess of 3.00 g/t. Similarly, epithermal pathfinder elements of lead, zinc,
and arsenic were highly anomalous.


Metallum is encouraged by the potential of this entire property which has never
been drill tested or undergone any systematic property scale exploration such as
detailed geologic mapping, geophysics, or geochemistry. Metallum's planned M-18
exploration program will commence in the next few weeks, initially focused on
the 1.2 km. mineralized gold zone and ultimately expanding into surrounding
terrain where extensive argillic alteration occurs.


Similar epithermal deposit models include Cerro Vanguardia (Argentina),
Calcatreu (Argentina), and the Toodoggone district of British Columbia.


Greg Lipton, P. Geo., the Company's President and CEO, is the qualified person
for the Company as required under National Instrument 43-101. He is a member of
the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (APGO). Mr. Lipton has
reviewed and approved the contents of this release.


Rock samples were assayed by ALS Chemex of Mendoza, Argentina using 34 element
ICP-AES and aqua regia / AA for ore grade Ag and Pb values. Original rock
samples are reduced to a 30 g aliquot prior to a FA-AA finish for gold. Four
blanks and four standards were entered into the sample run and showed no
anomalous deviations.


The Company also announces that the Board of Directors of Metallum has appointed
current director Kevin Bullock as non-executive Chairman of Metallum.
