On July 27, 2011, Philippine Metals Inc. ("Philippine Metals" or the Company")

Arbitrators of the regional Mines and Geosciences Bureau (the "Panel") had ruled
on the formal objection to the Company's Malitao Exploration Permit Application
("EPA") in favour of the Company and that Pacific Metals Canada Philippines Inc.
("PMCPI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Philippine Metals, is the rightful title
holder of the Malitao EPA under Philippine law and that the adverse claim was
without merit.
As provided for under the rules and regulations of Philippine law governing the
process relating to a tenement title dispute, either party has the right to

process of the appeal. Philippine Metals remains confident that the Panel ruled
correctly in denying the formal objection to its Malitao EPA and remains
confident that the MAB will uphold the Panel's decision. The Company will
provide a further update as developments require.
