Vancouver - Volcanic Metals Corp. (TSX.V: VOL) ("Volcanic" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Option") with Seafield Explorations Ltd. to acquire the remaining 75% interest (for an aggregate 100% interest) in the Walhalla Property, located in the emerging White Gold District of the Yukon Territories.

The Walhalla Property (the "Property") consists of 1,988 quartz claims covering approximately 41,800 hectares located 120 km south-east of Dawson City in the Yukon Territories.  The Property is located immediately east of and contiguous to Pacific Ridge's Mariposa Project.

The Option is at arm's length and is subject to Exchange approval.  In order to earn the 75% interest in the Property, Volcanic must:

(a)   pay $150,000 on confirmation of title;
(b)   issue 500,000 shares on Exchange approval;
(c)   pay $150,000 on the earlier of six months after Exchange approval and the completion of a non-flow-through financing of not less than $500,000;
(d)   pay $50,000 and issue 500,000 shares on each of the first through third anniversaries of Exchange approval;
(e)   pay $100,000 and issue 1,000,000 shares on the fourth anniversary of Exchange approval; and
(f)   incur $1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on or before the fifth anniversary of Exchange approval.

Volcanic acquired its original 25% interest in the Property by, among other things, incurring expenditures to complete initial field work including ridge and spur soil sampling, rock sampling and ground prospecting, and a high-resolution airborne EM and MAG survey, to be flown in short order. Results will be released as they become available.
