Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SMD) ("Strategic") announces that it is
making a new Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "New Bid") pursuant to the provisions
of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.6, to succeed its existing Normal Course Issuer
Bid (the "Old Bid"), as accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange on November 23,
2011.


Strategic has not purchased any shares under the Old Bid, which will expire on
November 24, 2012, although it has purchased a total of 3,605,500 shares since
January 2008 at an average price of $0.28 per share under three successive
Normal Course Issuer Bids. The New Bid will consist of the acquisition by
Strategic of up to 8,400,000 common shares of its capital stock, representing
approximately 10% of the "public float" of 84,694,833 common shares upon the
date of commencement of the New Bid. (There are currently 90,156,851 common
shares of Strategic issued and outstanding.) The New Bid will commence on
November 26, 2012, and will terminate on November 25, 2013.


Strategic is making the New Bid, to succeed the Old Bid (which was limited to an
aggregate of 8,400,000 common shares), because it is of the opinion that
fluctuating global market conditions periodically (and currently) may result in
unwarranted reductions in Strategic's share price that do not reflect the
underlying value of its assets. Strategic will utilize unallocated cash
resources to effect purchases under the New Bid with a view to capitalizing on
these potential price weaknesses. Shares purchased under the New Bid will be
made at Management's discretion based on market conditions, and will be returned
to Strategic's treasury for cancellation.


The New Bid will be conducted on behalf of Strategic by PI Financial Corp., of
Suite 1900 - 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, B.C. 


ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

W. Douglas Eaton, President and Chief Executive Officer
