Company Statement

Donner Metals Ltd. is a Canadian base metal exploration company. The Company has a strong management team and advanced exploration projects, which have led to joint ventures with major mining companies TeckCominco and Falconbridge Ltd.

Donner has recently entered into an Option and Joint Venture Agreement (OJVA) with Falconbridge Limited for the joint exploration of the Matagami Mining Camp of Quebec for volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits (VMS). The Matagami Project has an area of mutual interest of 4,737 square kilometres and presently includes 2,045 mineral claims covering 477 square kilometres. Taking advantage of Falconbridge's extensive historical database, Donner and Falconbridge plan to use a combination of 3D data integration, innovative advanced technologies, new concepts and diamond drilling to explore for new deposits in this prolific mining camp.

The Company's other exploration projects include the South Voisey Bay Project, located in Labrador, Newfoundland and a nickel project in Nunavut known as the Rainbow Project.

Additionally, Donner, by holding an approximate 20% interest in Knight Resources Ltd., has expanded its exposure to a large nickel project in the Raglan area of Quebec, known as the West Raglan Project.

Current Operations

Matagami Project, Quebec

The Matagami Mining Camp is a world-class mining district, with 18 known VMS deposits, including 10 past producers of varying sizes, including the giant Mattagami Lake deposit (25.64 million tonnes of 8.2% Zn, 0.56% Cu, 20.91 g/t Ag and 0.41 g/t Au) discovered in 1957 and mined from 1963 to 1988. The area is host to historical production of 8.6 billion pounds of Zn and 853 million pounds of Cu and has established infrastructure including the town of Matagami, a railway, a paved road, and a 2,350 t/day mill owned by Xstrata.

The development of new exploration techniques and concepts has led directly to numerous discoveries in the Matagami Mining Camp. In 1957, as a result of the newly developed airborne EM system, the Matagami Lake deposit was discovered and within the next two and a half years, six more major deposits were identified. Between 1985 and 1992, four new deposits were discovered, and in 1999 a new EM system was flown over the Matagami camp, which led to the discovery of the Perseverance deposits in 2000. Xstrata has published a measured and indicated resource at Perseverance of 5.12 million tonnes of 15.82% Zn, 1.24% Cu, 29.00 g/t Ag and 0.38 g/t Au.

Proximity of the Matagami Project to past producers and existing deposits does not provide any assurance that economic mineralization exists on the Matagami Project, however past production and recent discoveries in the camp demonstrate the potential for additional discoveries.

West Raglan
The Cape Smith Belt in northern Quebec has recently emerged as one of the most prospective areas in the world to discover new nickel deposits. Recognizing this, in early 2003 Knight entered into an agreement with Anglo American Exploration (Canada) Limited ('AAEC') to earn a 49% interest in their 720 square kilometre West Raglan Project.

Falconbridge’s Raglan nickel mine is located 90 kilometres east of the eastern margin of the West Raglan Project. Resources, reserves and mined ore to date at Raglan total 28 million tonnes averaging 2.8% nickel and 0.8% copper with significant platinum group elements and cobalt.

The known nickel deposits in the Cape Smith Belt occur in two different settings: the Raglan Formation at the base of the Chukotat Group, and the Delta Horizon in the Povungnituk Group. All of Falconbridge's resources and reserves are hosted by the Raglan Formation and occur in nine separate deposits over a 55 kilometre strike length.
