Hinterland Metals Inc. Profile

HINTERLAND METALS INC.
TSX VENTURE: HMI

OVERVIEW

Hinterland Metals Inc. is focused on precious metal exploration in Quebec, Ontario, Yukon and Nunavut. The Company’s projects and hands-on exploration strategy offer excellent potential for increasing shareholder value and liquidity. Hinterland’s experienced management team continues to evaluate and aggressively acquire additional exploration projects as capital and opportunities present themselves. In addition to its four active projects, Hinterland holds a portfolio of other properties. Management has successfully and actively seeks to vend these projects in whole or in part to other exploration companies in order to reduce exploration risk and generate revenue.

PROJECTS

Plateau PGE Project
Hinterland holds a 100% interest in the 283 claim (131.4km²) Plateau PGE Project located 30km southeast of Matagami, Quebec. The property is underlain by layered mafic rocks belonging to the Archean Bell River Complex which is the largest un-explored PGE target in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. A $600,000 program of airborne geophysics to be followed by surface surveys is now underway and will continue into 2007 with drilling.

Teck Gold Project
Hinterland holds a 100% interest in the 46-claim (1,263 ha) Teck Property located in an under-explored part of the Kirkland Lake Gold Camp approximately 2.5 km west of the producing Macassa Gold Mine. Kirkland Lake has documented production of 24.1 million ounces gold at an average grade of 0.47 ounces per ton from eight mines during the period from 1917 to the present day. Hinterland has completed a comprehensive surface program integrated with shallow drilling. The next round of work will consist of a $375,000 deep drilling program anticipated to begin in late 2006.

Lockout Gold Project
Hinterland holds a 100% interest in the 97-claims (1,398ha) Lockout Property in the Barry-Urban Greenstone Belt approximately 100km east of Quevillon, Quebec. The gold potential of the Barry-Urban area is well known with numerous showings and three small deposits. This project is near drill ready. Most of the surface work has been done but some further fill-in work is necessary to fully define drill targets. The surface work and drilling are estimated to cost $110,000 and will likely commence in September 2006.

Revell Project
Hinterland holds a 100% interest the 60 claim unit (960ha) Revell Project situated approximately 40km east of Dryden, Ontario. Drilling completed in April 2006 intersected some interesting PGE-gold mineralization but the results were below expectations. A $50,000 surface exploration program is required to generate new drill targets.

Rebel Uranium Property
Hinterland announced that it has been granted two contiguous prospecting permits in the Northern Thelon Basin area of Nunavut. The “Rebel” permits are located in the northern half of NTS Sheet 66B05 and together cover approximately 32,400 hectares (81,000 acres). The permits give Hinterland the exclusive right to prospect and stake mineral claims for a period of three years.

Yankee Uranium Property
Hinterland announced that it has been granted a prospecting permit in the northern Thelon Basin area of Nunavut. The "Yankee" permit is located in the NW quadrant of NTS Sheet 66G07 and covers approximately 16,000 hectares (40,000 ha). The permit gives Hinterland the exclusive right to prospect and stake mineral claims for a period of three years. The Thelon Basin is a large Proterozoic sedimentary basin very similar to the Athabasca Basin that currently accounts for approximately one third of the world's uranium production. In the Thelon Basin, the Kiggavik, Andrew Lake and End deposits together contain approximately 131 million pounds of U3O8 and form the "Kiggavik Trend".

CONCLUSION

Hinterland’s experienced management team has spent the last several years bringing a number of projects to the drill-ready stage and it is well poised to make a discovery well-timed to the current markets. Compared to its peer group Hinterland has not been recognized for the quality or potential of its property portfolio. A look at other TSX Venture Exchange companies with a similar property portfolio, commodity and geographical focus shows that Hinterland is far undervalued relative to its competitors.
