MTC MetalCorp Limited

MetalCorp Limited ("MetalCorp") (TSX VENTURE:MTC) is pleased to announce that it
has signed an agreement with Cava Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CVA) ("Cava")
granting Cava an option to earn a 50% interest in 40 mineral exploration claims
east of the White River in its Hemlo East property near Marathon, Ontario. The
agreement is subject to TSXV approval.


To earn a 50% interest, Cava must incur $1,500,000 of exploration expenditures
on the property and issue 3,250,000 shares to MetalCorp. Of the expenditures,
$250,000 must be incurred by December 31, 2012, a further $500,000 by December
31, 2013 and the balance by December 31, 2014. Of the shares, 500,000 must be
issued within 7 days after commencement of a drilling program, 750,000 by
December 31, 2013 and 2,000,000 by December 31, 2014. During the term of the
option agreement, MetalCorp will act as operator and earn a 10% operator's fee.
On completion of the option, the two companies will form a joint venture and
MetalCorp will retain a 2% net smelter returns royalty, half of which may be
purchased by Cava for $2,000,000.


MetalCorp's Hemlo East property is located to the east of and adjacent to the 23
million ounce Hemlo Gold mine property which is now 100% owned by Barrick Gold.
The claim group being optioned to Cava - initially called the Python project
containing the historic Gouda and Thor deposits - is separated from the western
part of MetalCorp's Hemlo East property by the White River exclusion zone, an
area where no claims may be staked. The Hemlo East property has excellent
infrastructure with access provided by the Trans Canada Highway 17. All weather
roads lead from the Trans-Canada Highway, while a railway traverses the northern
part of the property.


"We are pleased to be working with Cava to further explore the Gouda and Thor
deposits at our Hemlo East project and look forward to further success in the
coming year," says Chris Dougherty, President of MetalCorp.
