FMM Full Metal Minerals Ltd

Full Metal Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FMM) is pleased to announce the results of
an extensive 2008 surface mapping, rock and soil sampling program from the 100%
owned Nadaleen Zinc-Lead-Silver Project, Yukon.


Multiple occurrences of sphalerite, galena, pyrite and barite massive sulphide
mineralization have been identified on the project. Full Metal has staked
multiple prospects along the 90+ kilometer long belt. The area has seen limited
modern exploration and is located south of the community of Ross River, near
infrastructure.


At the Keats Prospect, Full Metal discovered a new occurrence of subcropping
boulders of Sedimentary Exhalative Deposit Style (SEDEX) massive sphalerite and
galena spanning over 1,300 meters of strike length. A total of eleven rock
samples were taken at Keats, ranging from 0.1 to 47.2% Zn, averaging 21.7%;
trace to 22.0% Pb, averaging 3.0%; and 0.5 to 100.0 g/t Ag, averaging 18.8 g/t.
Occurrences of SEDEX style barite mineralization were identified between the
Keats Prospect, and the RIM soil anomaly located 4,000 meters to the northwest.


At the Angie Prospect, soil sampling during 2008 by Full Metal identified a
5,000 meter long anomaly (greater than 1000 ppm Zn), including a 1,300 meter
long area (greater than 2,000 ppm Zn). A total of 1,785 soil samples were
collected at the Angie Prospect. Zinc values range from 12 to greater than
10,000 ppm Zn, averaging 536 ppm; silver values range from 0.3 to 10.3 g/t Ag
averaging 1.0 g/t. The Angie Prospect covers historic occurrences of SEDEX
mineralization, including trench results of 4.5 meters averaging 8.4% Zn and 98
g/t Ag.


At the southeast end of the trend, soil sampling by Full Metal in 2008 outlined
multiple anomalies of lead, zinc and silver at the Nebocat Prospect. A 2,000
meter long multielement soil anomaly (greater than 1000 ppm Zn, greater than 500
ppm Pb, greater than 3 ppm Ag) was identified, centered on a 200 meter long, by
10 meter high outcrop of SEDEX style massive sulphides, with coarse grained
pyrite, sphalerite and galena. Eight rock samples were collected during 2008 at
Nebocat: zinc values range from 0.1 to 12.7% Zn, averaging 2.9% Zn; lead values
range from 0.7 to 57.6% Pb, averaging 13.5%; and silver values range from 7.2 to
339 g/t Ag, averaging 105.2 g/t.


Five historic drill holes were completed at the Nebocat Prospect. SEDEX
mineralization was encountered in at least three drill holes completed in the
late 1970's by Newmont Exploration, including 13.8% Pb, 10% Zn and 66.5 g/t Ag
over 0.4 meters, which widens to 4.6% Pb, 9.2% Zn, and 37.3 g/t Ag over 2.3
meters further downdip. A third hole, 100 meters along stike, encountered 4.3%
Pb and 8.1% Zn over 3.0 meters.


Maps with soil and rock sampling results from the Angie-Cat Project can be
reviewed at www.fullmetalminerals.com.


The center of the project area is located in the Pelly Mountains approximately
45 km southwest of the community of Ross River and covers approximately 450
square kilometers. Lead/zinc/silver/barite SEDEX style mineralization occurs in
prospective Cambrian to Devonian age horizons along a 90 kilometer long trend.
Sediments were deposited along the westernmost margin of the Selwyn basin within
the Cassiar platform. Angie-Cat occurs just south of the well known Anvil mining
district near the town of Faro which produced from multiple SEDEX deposits.
Mineralization and host rock may be of the same age as the Late Cambrian SEDEX
mineralization of the Anvil District, or possibly Silurian which correlates with
Howards Pass area deposits. Coarse grained mineralization due to regional
metamorphism suggests more favourable metallurgy and potential for upgrading
than these other Yukon Sedex districts.


About Sedex Deposits

Sedimentary Exhalative Deposits SEDEX are the world's most important source for
zinc and lead, accounting for 9 of the 10 largest Zn-Pb deposits in the world
and comprising over 50% of the worlds Zn and Pb reserves (Leach et al, 2005).
Reserves and resources in individual deposits often exceed 10 M tonnes of
combined Zn/Pb with a typical grade of 5-15% Zn and 2-5% Pb, and often have an
extensive mine life. The Sullivan Zn-Pb-Ag deposit in British Columbia was mined
continuously for over 105 years and produced 25 M tonnes of combined Zn/Pb/Ag
from 160 M tonnes of ore (Goodfellow and Lydon, 2007). Currently, the world's
largest Zn resource is the SEDEX Red Dog deposit in Alaska. Red Dog produces
over 600,000 tonnes of Zn annually, with an estimated resource of over 35 M
tonnes of combined Zn/Pb/Ag (www.teckcominco.com).


Full Metal's 2008 exploration program was supervised by Robert McLeod, P.Geo.,
Vice President Exploration, for Full Metal Minerals Ltd., a Qualified Person as
defined by NI 43-101, who has prepared and approved the information contained in
this release. Soil samples and rock samples were collected by experienced
geologists technicians, and placed in sealed bags for shipment to the ALS-Chemex
Labs facility in Vancouver, B.C. for analysis. A sample quality control/quality
assurance program was implemented.


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.
