DON: TSX-V

Donner Metals Ltd. is a Canadian development and exploration company focused on base and precious metal projects in Québec. Donner's flagship project is a partnership with Xstrata Canada Corporation in the world-class Matagami Mining Camp district, covering both the current development of a new mine and on-going exploration activities. The area is host to historical production of 8.6 billion pounds of zinc and 853 million pounds of copper since 1963. The Matagami project is located in the Abitibi region of central Québec and it is supported by Xstrata's existing mine infrastructure, a highly experienced workforce and an operating 2,950 tonne per day mill. As well, the area is serviced by highway, power, airport, railway and town site infrastructure. The Bracemac-McLeod deposit is located 6 kilometres from Xstrata's Matagami mill complex. Mineral concentrates produced in Matagami are processed and refined at Xstrata's facilities in Rouyn - Noranda and Montreal.

Bracemac-McLeod Mine

• 35% Donner, 65% Xstrata Zinc
• Production scheduled for January 2013
• Initial mine life of 4 years on current mining reserve (diluted) of 3.73 million tonnes grading 9.60% zinc, 1.26% copper, and 28.25g/t silver and 0.43g/t gold
• Positive ROR at base case = $0.80Zinc, $2.50 Copper

Mine Expansion

• + 2.5 million tonnes in upside highgrade inferred resources identified
• Inferred resources are open with high exploration potential
• Numerous high-grade intersections outside of current resource envelope

The Bracemac-McLeod ramp is currently passing 2,070 metres and is progressing extremely well with an average advancement rate of 5.7 metres per day (6.45 metres per day since May, 2011) compared to 4.5 metres per day estimated in the feasibility study. Multiple face development of the Bracemac zones and the construction of ventilation raises will commence when the ramp reaches 2,300 metres. Ramping will also continue to the McLeod zone. Construction of access and haulage roads, mine support infrastructure and electrical supply has been mostly completed. Xstrata Zinc has realized a number of efficiencies to date to ensure the project remains within budget and they continue to target other areas of the project to realize further timing and cost efficiencies. Initial production from the mine is scheduled to start in early 2013.
