Ecometals Limited (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EC)(BERLIN:GDQ)(FRANKFURT:GDQ) is
providing this bi-weekly Default Status Report in accordance with National
Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP
12-203"). On July 26, 2013, the Company announced (the "Default Notice") that,
for the reasons disclosed in the Default Notice, there would be a delay in the
filing of its audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013 and
its related Management's Discussion and Analysis and Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer certifications for the year ended March 31, 2013
(collectively, the "Required Filings") beyond the 120 day period prescribed for
the filing of such documents.


As a result of this delay in filing, on July 29, 2013, the British Columbia
Securities Commission (the "BCSC"), the principal regulator of the Company,
issued a management cease trade order (the "MCTO"), which imposed restrictions
on all trading in securities of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer, the
Chief Financial Officer and all the directors of the Company until the Company
files the Required Filings and the BCSC makes an order revoking the MCTO. All
other parties are permitted to freely trade the Company's securities.


Further to its press release of August 27, 2013, the Company continues to work
towards bringing its manganese project at Serra do Navio into production with a
targeted first shipment of manganese mineralized material in early October 2013.



Further to its press release of August 28, 2013, the Company has been pleased
with the response to its proposed convertible debenture financing and will
provide a further update regarding this financing shortly. As previously
notified the proceeds of this financing will be used for completion of the
company's audit for the year ended March 31, 2013, working capital purposes, and
to maintain the company's existing operations, activities and assets


Until the Required Filings and, as notified in its press release of August 27,
2013, the Company's June 30th interim filing are filed, the Company intends to
continue to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines
(the "AIG") specified in Section 4.4 of NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly Default
Status Reports, each of which will be issued in the form of a news release. The
Company intends to file, if required, its next Default Status Report by
September 24, 2013. 


Other than as previously disclosed there is no other material information
concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
