Hinterland Acquires Culvert Property Adjacent to Northern Tiger 3Ace Property in Eastern Yukon

VAL D'OR, QUEBEC, Nov 05, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: HMI) is pleased to announce that it has signed an arms-length agreement to acquire the 75-claim (1553 hectare) "Culvert" gold property located some 200km north of Watson Lake, Yukon. The property lies approximately 16km north of the 3Ace property where Northern Tiger Resources Inc. recently announced a new discovery by drilling 4.3gpt Au over 30.3m from 49.1m in its first hole and 14.8gpt Au over 10.9m from 24.6m in its second hole including 145.2gpt Au over 1.05m from 28.15m (Northern Tiger News Release November 4, 2010).

The property vendors, Whitehorse-based prospectors Garry Lee and Robert Scott, have completed approximately $142,000 of exploration work on the property since 2007 including geochemical, geophysical and prospecting surveys as well as trenching, blasting and sampling. The most important result of this work is the discovery of the main Culvert showing where values up to 22.8gpt Au have been reported from grab samples (Assessment Report - Casselman and Halle, 2010). The showing consists of quartz veins and breccias within sheared meta-sedimentary rocks. Similar mineralization has been traced in float and scattered outcrops for a distance of 2000m in a northwesterly direction from the showing. Geophysical surveys point to trends that are coincident with the orientations of the gold-bearing structures found so far and anomalous gold and arsenic values obtained in soil samples define similar, coincident trends.

Under the terms of the agreement Hinterland has the option to earn a 100% interest in the property for total consideration of $280,000 cash ($40,000 initially), 1,300,000 treasury shares (200,000 initially) and $525,000 exploration work scheduled over a four-year period subject to a 3.0% Net Smelter Returns royalty (the "Royalty") on smeltable materials. Hinterland will have the right to buy back the first 1.5% of the Royalty for $1,000,000. The agreement is subject to approval by the Hinterland's Board of Directors and by regulatory authorities in compliance with applicable securities legislation.

"The excellent work done by Gary and Robert to date clearly outlines some very prospective gold targets on the Culvert property. Their data gives us a big jump on our competitors who are out there right now desperately staking moose pasture in order to tie into the 3Ace play," comments Mark Fekete, President.
