Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX Venture “HMI) is focused on precious metal exploration in Yukon, Quebec and Ontario. The Company’s projects and hands-on exploration strategy offer excellent potential for increasing shareholder value and liquidity. Hinterland’s experienced management team continues to evaluate and aggressively acquire additional exploration projects as capital and opportunities present themselves. In addition to its active projects, Hinterland holds a portfolio of other non-active projects. Management has successfully and actively seeks to vend these projects in whole or in part to other exploration companies in order to reduce exploration risk and generate revenue.

Lockout Gold Project, Quebec

Hinterland holds a 100% interest in the Lockout gold property located 100km due east of Quevillon, Quebec in the Barry-Urban Greenstone Belt 4km west of Eagle Hill’s Windfall project and 8km north of Metanor’s Barry open pit gold mine. A recent drill program intersected notable gold values in all seven holes drilled to test geophysical targets and follow up positive drill results obtained by Hinterland in 2007. Gold mineralization is found along the upper and lower contacts of a graphitic unit within mafic volcanic rocks and appears to be related to porphyry dykes injected next to the contacts. Drilling highlights include gold intersections up to 5.2g/t Au over 2.0m within a zone of 1.7g/t Au over 7.0m. Intersections vary from 6.2 to 12.9m in width and from 0.6 to 1.7g/t Au in grade. The most important outcome of the drill program is that it shows on-strike continuity of the gold-bearing structure up to one kilometre long. The “Panache” gold zone remains open in all directions. Further drilling is planned for 2010 contingent of additional equity of joint venture financing.

Ballarat Gold Project, Yukon

Hinterland holds a 100% interest in the Ballarat gold property located 90km due south of Dawson City, Yukon. The property was acquired immediately after the May 2006 announcement of Underworld’s White Gold discovery, 15km due north of Ballarat. In 2009 Hinterland completed soil geochemical, and airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys. The soil survey identified two parallel, northeast-trending, linear gold anomalies that lie on the margin of a circular magnetic high in the north-western corner of the property. Each anomaly is roughly 2km long and varies from 50 to 150m wide. Hinterland is fully funded to test these promising gold targets by drilling in June 2010.

Teck Gold Project, Ontario

Hinterland holds a 100% interest in the Teck gold property located in an under-explored part of the Kirkland Lake Gold Camp approximately 2.5km west of the producing Macassa Gold Mine. Kirkland Lake has documented production of 24.1 million ounces gold at an average grade of 0.47opt from eight mines during the period from 1917 to the present day. Hinterland has completed a comprehensive surface program integrated with shallow drilling. It is anticipated that the next round of exploration will involve 4500m of deep drilling at an estimated cost of $675,000. The Company is seeking equity or joint venture financing to complete this work.

Ebay PGE Project, Quebec

Hinterland holds a 100% interest in the Ebay PGE Project located 30km southeast of Matagami in the Abitibi Region of Quebec. Ebay was Hinterland’s main project from June 2006 to September 2008. This strategy made very good sense during a period when platinum and palladium were very strong relative to gold. However, the prices of these metals started a rapid decline in mid-July 2008 and remain weak against gold. Exploration on Ebay property was very successful with a new discovery being made by drilling in November 2006 and further good drill results being announced in March 2007 and February 2008. Until platinum and palladium prices improve only limited work is being undertaken at Ebay.

Kipawa and LuLa REE Projects, Quebec

In October 2009, Hinterland acquired two Rare Earth Element “REE” projects in Quebec. The use of REE has increased dramatically over the past years in many modern technology applications, especially automotive catalytic converters, permanent magnets, and rechargeable batteries. New demand has strained supply leading to sharp price increases for REE. This situation was exacerbated in September 2009 when China, essentially the world’s only supplier of REE, announced plans to limit exports. Hinterland is currently seeking equity or joint venture financing to fund exploration of these two new projects.
