Full Metal Identifies Significant Geochemical and Geophysical Anomalies at OG Zn-Pb-Ag Property

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 15, 2008) - Full Metal Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FMM) is pleased to announce the results of an extensive surface mapping, sampling and gravity geophysical program from the 100% owned OG Zinc-Lead-Silver Property, Yukon.

The OG Property is a carbonate-replacement style deposit (CRD) located approximately 40 kilometers north of Dawson City, Yukon. Full Metal is planning a minimum 3,000 meter Phase I drilling program to commence in the spring of 2008.

Work completed during 2007 outlined the Raider Zone, a significant new 1.0 square kilometer multi-element soil anomaly (greater than 500 ppm Pb, greater than 1000 ppm Zn, greater than 2 g/t Ag). The Raider Zone is located 750 meters north of the Yankee Zone, which was expanded from 1.4 to 1.7 square kilometers (greater than 500 ppm Pb, greater than 1000 ppm Zn, greater than 2 g/t Ag). Sample spacing ranges from 50 meters by 50 meters to 50 meters by 200 meters at both Zones. The Yankee and Raider anomalies are open for expansion to the east. Multiple other anomalous areas were identified north of the Raider Zone. From July through September 2007, 1,380 samples were collected at the OG Property; soil samples range from 6.8 to 39,200 ppm Pb, average 327 ppm Pb; 27 to 11,100 ppm Zn, average 560 ppm Zn, and 0.2 to 154 g/t Ag, average 0.9 g/t Ag.

Additionally, a ground-based gravity geophysical survey was completed over only the western third of the Yankee Zone soil anomaly. The survey outlined a 1.1 to 1.6 mGal anomaly, measuring approximately 600 by 600 meters. Gravity geophysical surveys identify denser rock, with the intent of identifying massive sulphide mineralization.

The OG Property was drill tested by 12 core holes in 1975 and 76 by Hudson's Bay Mining. Assay results are known for only six holes, which were filed under mandatory Yukon Territory assessment report requirements. Limited exploration work was performed on the Property prior to the 2007 Exploration Program.

Surface mapping identified CRD style mineralization consisting of coarse grained pyrite, sphalerite and galena with local chalcopyrite within a sequence of platformal Proterozoic limestones, commonly altered to dolomite. Mineralization occurs within the footwall to a regional thrust fault, with capping fine grained siliciclastic overlying the mineralization. The Raider and Yankee zones are separated by a window of the upper plate sediments.

Full Metal's 2007 exploration program was supervised by Robert McLeod, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration, for Full Metal Minerals Ltd., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, who has prepared and approved the information contained in this release. Soil samples were collected by experienced technicians, and placed in sealed bags for shipment to the ALS-Chemex Labs facility in Vancouver, B.C. for analysis. A sample quality control/quality assurance program was implemented.

Full Metal is a generative exploration company with twelve active projects in Alaska and one in the Yukon Territory. Final assay results from the 2007 drilling program at the 40 Mile Property are expected shortly. Drilling Programs will be completed during 2008 at the 40 Mile, Lucky Shot, Mt. Andrew, Moore Creek, CJ, Pebble South, Chignik, Boulder Creek and OG Properties. The Company has Joint Venture Agreements with Freeport McMoRan, BHP Billiton, Metallica Resources, Triex Minerals, Altair Ventures, Millrock Resources Highbury Projects, and Andover Ventures.
