METMINCO LTD ASX RELEASE – 9 APRIL 2008

METMINCO COMPLETES ASHBURTON PROJECT DUE DILIGENCE

On 14 March 2008 Metminco Ltd advised that a Heads of Agreement had been executed between Metminco and Peak Resources Ltd, to advance exploration on the Ashburton Base Metal Project, which has the potential to host large base metal deposits.

The Directors of Metminco are pleased to further announce that following a thorough data review and field visit, together with due diligence, that the company will proceed with the Joint Venture Agreement.

Outstanding early geochemical results include 1.31% lead, 0.35% zinc, 46.5 ppm silver and 1.9% cobalt in rock chips. This anomalous geochemistry is coincident with geophysical anomalies.

Background

The Ashburton Project is located approximately 70 km south of the township of Paraburdoo and 300km NNW of Meekatharra, Western Australia. The Project consists of two granted exploration licences E08/1239 (Mt Vernon) and E08/1240 (Pingandy) covering a combined area of 412 sq. km.

A 1,400 station gravity survey commissioned by Peak in November 2007 on the Mt Vernon Project (E08/1239) outlined a large structural feature. Concurrent surface geochemical sampling revealed anomalous lead and zinc in samples collected from outcropping quartz rich iron-oxide rocks grading up to 1.31% Lead and 0.35% Zinc respectively (Table 1).

SampleID Easting Northing Silver Cobalt Lead Zinc

MV003 583843 7357228 <0.05ppm 175 ppm 1.31 % 0.05 %

Additional rock chip sampling conducted during a recent field visit by Metminco personnel reproduced the tenor of Peak’s earlier results on the Mount Vernon licence, confirming its prospectivity.

On the Pingandy licence, rock chip sampling by Peak has returned anomalous titanium, up to 44.5%, from rock interpreted to be derived from an ancient mineral sand deposit. This style of mineralisation is previously unknown in this area (Figure 1).

Future Exploration

Planning for an Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey is well advanced and this survey should commence in the latter half of April 2008. IP surveys are used to detect buried metallic mineralisation (including massive sulphides). The results of this survey will provide greater focus for subsequent drilling on the Mount Vernon licence.

Future work at Pingandy will be directed towards mapping the extent of the anomalous titanium rich rock unit and additional geochemical sampling.

Metminco’s due diligence has confirmed the validity of the targets and the prospect of a significant discovery and we look forward to working with Peak on the Ashburton Project Joint Venture.
