VAL D'OR, QUEBEC--(April 10, 2008) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) is pleased to report that it has intersected several semi-massive sulphide intervals that assayed up to 1.12% copper and 0.36% nickel over 1.8m. These intervals occur within a broader zone of patchy sulphide mineralization that was encountered over a horizontal distance of 200m in holes EB08-26, 27 and 29 (EB08-28 was lost in overburden), and to a vertical depth of 110m in hole EB08-30. The zone at it widest is 23.6m in hole EB08-29 and it is marked by a strong chargeability anomaly that is approximately 400m long. It is interesting to note that this zone is depleted in platinum and palladium. The intervals listed in the following table are the best copper-nickel drill intersections ever reported in this part of the Bell River Complex and as such are an important discovery.

The analytical results stated in this press release were determined at Laboratoire Expert Inc. ("Expert") in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec by partial acid digestion, atomic absorption technique. Expert is not accredited but it is independent of Hinterland, maintains an internal quality control program and participates annually in CANMET round-robin proficiency testing. Also, Hinterland inserts blanks, standards and duplicates according to an independently designed and monitored QAQC program. Mark Fekete, P.Geo is the designated "qualified person" as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the preparation of this release.
