Duluth Metals Hole Hits Mineralization 900 Meters Southwest of Defined Boundary of Nokomis Deposit

TORONTO, Canada - Duluth Metals Limited (”Duluth Metals”) (TSX: DM) (TSX:DM.U) is announcing the assay results from MEX-155-W1 which intersected mineralization 900 meters southwest of the currently defined Nokomis Deposit outline. MEX-155-W1 was drilled in an area of four historic drill holes referred to as Nickel Ridge, where the historic hole DU-13 returned 10 feet of 1.03% copper and 1.57% nickel within a 60 foot zone of markedly higher than average nickel assays. Assay results from MEX-155-W1 and the four historic holes confirm a substantial extension of significant mineralization towards the Nickel Ridge area with good copper values and above average nickel grades, beyond the current resource boundaries of the Nokomis Deposit. MEX-155-W1 and the four historic holes will be included in the new NI 43-101 Resource Study currently being undertaken by Scott Wilson RPA.

“This latest step-out drilling continues to confirm Duluth Metals’ belief in the continuity of the Nokomis mineralization. It is gratifying to have the confidence to drill a hole nearly a kilometre away from the defined Nokomis Deposit outline and achieve these types of results,” stated Dr. Henry J. Sandri, President and CEO of Duluth Metals. “This new out-step hole supports our belief that the Nokomis Deposit has the potential to be substantially increased, with the added possibility of finding areas of higher grade zones like those identified in the Nickel Ridge Area or discovered in our Eastern High Grade Corridor last year.” To date, only about one-half of the Nokomis Property has been drilled, and all 155 holes drilled to target depth have intercepted mineralization at varying intervals and grades (see www.duluthmetals.com for full results).

<< A more detailed summary of the assay results for MEX-155-W1 can be found in the table below. True width is estimated at about 90% of core length.
