prnews


TORONTO, May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Duluth Metals Limited ("Duluth") (TSX: DM)
(TSX: DM.U) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has
approved Duluth's Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer
Bid (the "NCIB") to purchase for cancellation, from time to time, its
common shares (the "Shares") through the facilities of the TSX and
other available trading platforms. Duluth has TSX approval to purchase
for cancellation up to a maximum of 5% of Duluth's issued and
outstanding Shares. As of May 19, 2011, the total number of issued and
outstanding Shares was 125,336,068 Shares. The price which Duluth will
pay for any Shares purchased by it will be the prevailing market price
of the Shares on the TSX or such other exchange or marketplace, as
applicable, at the time of such purchase.


The NCIB will commence on May 25, 2011 and will terminate on May 24,
2012 or such earlier time as the NCIB is completed or terminated at the
option of Duluth.


Management of Duluth believes that, from time to time, the market price
of the Shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Shares
and that at such times the purchase of Shares represents attractive
investment value and would be in the best interests of Duluth. Such
purchases will increase the proportionate interest of, and may be
advantageous to, all remaining shareholders.


The actual number of Shares that may be purchased and the timing of any
such purchases will be determined by Duluth, subject to a maximum daily
purchase limitation of 59,271 Shares which equals 25% of the average
daily trading volume of 237,084 Shares calculated in accordance with
the TSX rules, except where purchases are made in accordance with
"block purchase" exemptions under applicable TSX rules.
