FMM Full Metal Minerals Ltd

Full Metal Minerals (TSX VENTURE: FMM) is pleased to announce results from the final five drill holes of 39 completed during 2008 at the LWM Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD). The LWM Deposit is a high grade zinc, silver, lead, copper discovery located at the Fortymile Property in Eastern Alaska. Highlights include:

- LWM08-55: 1.5 meters true width averaging 12.4% Zn, 30.0% Pb and 186.3 g/t Ag

- LWM08-56: 5.7 meters true width averaging 7.5% Zn, 11.8% Pb and 167.6 g/t Ag

- LWM08-57: 1.2 meters true width averaging 24.8% Zn, 10.0% Pb and 192.4 g/t Ag

- LWM08-58: 0.9 meters true width averaging 0.4% Zn, 37.5% Pb and 648 g/t Ag

To date, two subparallel zones of massive carbonate-replacement (CRD) mineralization have been traced over 700 meters of strike length and over 300 meters below surface. The deposit is open for expansion in all directions. Drill holes LWM08-55, 56 and 58, 59 are the southwestern most holes completed to-date. Two of these four holes encountered in excess of 30% combined lead-zinc mineralization along with excellent silver and copper values.

During 2008, 39 drill holes have been completed at LWM, with massive to semi-massive sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite mineralization intersected in the majority. Step-out and infill holes are were completed on 50 meter centers along strike and down-dip. Infill hole LWM08-57 encountered 1.2 meters true width averaging 24.8% Zn, 10.0% Pb, 0.68% Cu and 192.4 g/t Ag.

Mineralization occurs within dolomitized marble host rock, with the primary zone located adjacent to a fault zone. In the southwestern area of drilling, surface oxidation is locally variable in the upper zone. In some areas, the oxidation extends to over 200 meters below surface; the lower zone is typically less oxidized, with primary sulphide commonly located at surface. In the northeast, surface oxidation is much shallower. The thickness of mineralization can vary dramatically in CRD systems, with this variability common at LWM.

Full Metal is reviewing and compiling drilling and surface exploration results, with the objective of planning a follow-up drilling program during 2009.

The LWM discovery, the Fish oxide zinc-silver discovery (See FMM NR 2007 #21), as well as the Oscar, Eva and Drumstick regional targets occur within an extensive trend of CRD-style prospects, the majority of which have never been drill tested. Additionally, surface exploration crews have identified new target areas and prospects during the 2008 exploration program.

Full Metal has options to earn numerous 100% leasehold interests within 235,376 acres of lands selected by Doyon Limited, an Alaska Native Regional Corporation (See FMM 2006 NR #9, dated May 23, 2006).

Full Metal's 2008 exploration program at Fortymile was performed under the supervision of Robert McLeod, P.Geo, Vice-President Exploration for Full Metal Minerals, and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Drill cores were cut in half using a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags. Core and surface samples were delivered by Full Metal personnel to ALS-Chemex Labs facility in Fairbanks, Alaska. A sample quality control/quality assurance program is in place. Mr. McLeod prepared and approved the information contained in this release.

Full Metal is a generative exploration company with multiple precious and base metal projects in Alaska and the Yukon. Full Metal is completing a bulk sample to confirm the continuity of high-grade gold mineralization within the Lucky Shot shear. The Company has Joint Venture Agreements with Kinross Gold, Freeport McMoRan, BHP Billiton, Mosam Capital, Triex Minerals, Altair Ventures, Highbury Projects, and Ashburton Ventures Inc.
