Philippine Metals Provides Update on Malitao and Taurus Projects

Philippine Metals Inc. ("Philippine Metals" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:PHI)(OTCQX:PHIXF)(FRANKFURT:PM7) is pleased to provide an update on
activities and developments on its Malitao and Taurus Projects.


Malitao Update

Further to the update provided in its news release on September 23, 2010 in
which the Company advised that a formal objection to its Malitao Exploration
Permit Application ("EPA") had been filed during the permitting process, the
Company advises that EPA process is still ongoing and, on March 2, 2011, the
Panel of Arbitrators of the regional Mines and Geosciences Bureau (the "Panel")
convened a hearing in which Philippine Metals and the other party presented
their respective arguments to the Panel. A date for delivery of the Panel's
decision has not been communicated to the parties. In parallel, the Company has
filed a Motion for Resolution formally requesting the Panel to rule on the
objection. Philippine Metals continues to believe that the objection filed on
the Malitao EPA is completely without merit and remains confident that the EPA
will be granted in favor of Philippine Metals. The Company will continue to work
thru the EPA process as quickly as possible and is poised to ramp its activities
on the project once this is complete.


Taurus Update

On December 21, 2010, the Company announced that it had commenced a 1,440 line
km airborne EM/Mag survey on its Taurus Project. The airborne survey was
completed in early January 2011 and the Company has now received the final
digitized output from the survey. The initial results of the survey highlighted
some areas that may warrant further evaluation however did not reveal the
results anticipated by the Company. The Company has now reviewed all the ground
and airborne geophysical data as well as the ground sampling and mapping and has
decided not to continue with the planned drilling program. The Company is in
discussions with other groups regarding joint venture opportunities as the
project does have potential for smaller tonnage high grade material that can be
feed source to existing mills in the area.
