Robert Pease, President and CEO of Terrane Metals Corp. ("Terrane" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TRX), is pleased to announce the signing of a letter of intent with AMEC Americas Limited ("AMEC") and Fluor Canada Ltd. ("Fluor") to provide engineering, procurement and construction management ("EPCM") services for its 100%-owned Mt. Milligan copper-gold project (the "Project") 150 km northwest of Prince George, British Columbia. AMEC and Fluor will jointly provide the EPCM services to the Project through their British Columbia Mining Joint Venture ("BCMJV"). Key components of the Project include a 60,000 tpd copper flotation process plant, tailings storage facility, plant ancillary facilities, 92 km power transmission line and a 600-person construction camp. The first phase of a 30-month construction program is now underway (see press release dated June 3, 2010). Subject to final documentation, BCMJV personnel will be on-site by month-end.

Robert Pease, President and Chief Executive Officer of Terrane stated: "Mt. Milligan's six million shovel-ready ounces and 22-year reserve base will make it one of Canada's largest new mines. With the selection of the BCMJV as our EPCM contractor we have secured the services of an outstanding British Columbia-based engineering design and construction management team. This team has earned global recognition, from mine builders and mine lenders alike, for their ability to deliver large-scale projects like Mt. Milligan on schedule and on budget."

Vasee Navaratnam, Fluor's VP Operations Mining & Metals, North America, and Greg Oryall, AMEC's VP Business Development & Strategy, Mining & Metals, both project sponsors for the BCMJV stated: "We are very pleased to be working with Terrane at Mt. Milligan. The BCMJV will allow us to leverage the design-delivery capabilities of the two largest British Columbia-based EPCM contractors and in doing so provide an unequalled pool of experienced people, services and local know-how to the Project. Our highly motivated team has a track record of successfully completing similar projects around the world. We particularly look forward to this important assignment in our home province of British Columbia."

Mt. Milligan will be a conventional truck-shovel open pit mine with a 60,000 tpd copper flotation process plant. The first six years of the 22-year mine plan are designed to accelerate the extraction of near-surface and higher-grade gold reserves with production forecast to average 262,100 oz per year at a cash cost, net of a copper credit, of negative US$8 per oz (see press release October 13, 2009). Mt. Milligan will provide about 400 direct permanent jobs and significant long-term economic benefits for the region.

Such risks and other factors include, among others, the actual results of exploration activities; variations in the underlying assumptions associated with the estimation or realization of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, the conclusions of economic evaluations and possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates; costs and timing of the development of new deposits; availability of capital to fund programs and the resulting dilution caused by the raising of capital through the sale of shares; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry including without limitation those associated with the environment, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, permits or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, title disputes or claims limitations on insurance coverage. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
