DON

Mr. Normand Champigny, President and Chief Financial Officer of Donner Metals
Ltd. ("Donner" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DON)(FRANKFURT:D4M), provides an
update on its joint venture interests in the Matagami Camp, Quebec.


Following the forfeiture by the Company of its interest in the Bracemac-McLeod
mine and mine property area ("Bracemac-McLeod") announced on September 3, 2013,
the Company continues to hold interests in five Matagami joint ventures pursuant
to an option and joint venture agreement (the "OJVA") with Glencore, providing
for the joint exploration of the Matagami mining camp of Quebec for volcanogenic
massive sulphide zinc-copper-gold-silver deposits. Donner had indicated that it
was evaluating various options to seek maximum value from those interests.


Reported in this news release are the results of exploration drilling completed
on the exploration joint ventures since activities were last reported on July
31, 2013 and details of a proposed sale of the Company's joint venture
interests.


Proposed Sale of Joint Venture Interests

The Company has received an offer to purchase its interest in the remaining five
joint ventures for total consideration of $2,395,200. Pursuant to the terms of
the OJVA, Glencore Canada Corporation ("Glencore") holds a right of first
refusal to purchase the Company's interest in the joint ventures, which right
Glencore has exercised subject to certain closing arrangements being implemented
and conditions satisfied. The sale of the joint venture interests will require
shareholder approval. The Company intends on holding an Annual and Special
Meeting of Shareholders on December 10, 2013 in Montreal.


Joint Venture Exploration Results

Exploration drilling during this period was focused on the North Flank Joint
Venture in the DJV and Landry areas respectively. The DJV and Landry area
program is governed under the North Flank Joint Venture with participating
interests of 50% Glencore and 50% Donner. The results reported herein were
provided to the Company by partner and project operator Glencore.


Assay results and drill hole locations are presented in attached Table 1 and
Figure 1 respectively.


Regional Exploration - DJV Area

Four drill holes were completed and one hole was deepened on the DJV Trend in
follow-up of the copper mineralization previously reported in drill hole
DJV-13-105 (see news release dated July 31, 2013). Diamond drillholes
DJV-13-107, DJV-13-108, DJV-13-109, DJV-13-110 and DJV-13-102EXT were completed
on approximately 70 metre step-outs from DJV-13-105. All holes intersected
extensive rhyolite sequences cut by gabbro dykes with weakly mineralized Key
Tuffite intersected in three of these holes. Altered rhyolite with weakly
disseminated sulphides was also encountered in the footwall to the Key Tuffite
horizon. 


Diamond drill holes DJV-13-111 and DJV-13-112 were completed approximately 1
kilometre east of the above drilling along the DJV Trend (Figure 1). Both
intersected weakly altered rhyolite injected by gabbro dykes. DJV-13-112
intersected unmineralized Key Tuffite at 437.90 metres.


Regional Exploration Landry Area

Four drill holes were completed and one historical drill hole deepened on the
Landry Trend located approximately 2 kilometres northeast of the DJV drilling
(Figure 1). The Landry Trend runs roughly parallel to the DJV Trend (Figure 1)
and is interpreted as a fault/fold repetition of the targeted Key Tuffite
stratigraphy. It is comprised of an altered sequence of andesite, rhyolite and
tuffite which has been intruded by gabbro dykes. Diamond drill hole LA-13-001
intersected strong chlorite alteration with weak sulphide development, including
anomalous gold assays in hanging wall basalt at 59.2 metres. LA-13-002
intersected 6.3 metres of weakly mineralized Key Tuffite which returned
anomalous zinc values. LA-13-003 and LA-13-004 intersected a similar sequence
with notable weak stringer pyrite and sphalerite in altered pillowed andesite
above the interpreted Key Tuffite horizon. One hole, NMW-00-006, was deepened to
allow for a re-survey of a historical geophysical anomaly that was initially
detected in the original drill hole. The extension intersected weakly
mineralized Key Tuffite. This drill hole is located 1.5 km along strike to the
northeast on the Landry Trend (Figure 1).
