THUNDER BAY, ON, May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – Red Metal Resources Ltd. (OTCBB: RMES), a
mineral exploration company with copper-gold assets in Chile, today
announced that it has completed the purchase of the Che I & Che II
mining claims for approximately USD$20,000. These claims cover 76
hectares within Red Metal’s existing Mateo copper-silver-gold project
in the Candelaria Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) belt in Chile III
Region.

The Mateo project is made up of approximately 2,122 hectares (5,244
acres) of combined mining and exploration licenses. Three of the mining
licenses, the Irene, Margarita and Santa Therese, cover ground with a
history of artisanal mining and some exploration work. Mateo lies
within the Candelaria IOCG belt, 10 kilometers east of the city of
Vallenar and only 15 kilometers from the closest Empresa Nacional de la
Mineria (ENAMI) processing plant. Geologically the Mateo project is
located within the brittle-ductile NS trending Atacama Fault System
that is known to host many of the major deposits in the IOCG Belt.

A map of the Che mining claims and the larger Mateo project can be

Red Metal recently closed a $2 million equity financing and expects to
undertake an initial exploration program on Mateo and a drilling
program on its advanced Farellon project in the second quarter of 2011.
