TSX:TLO

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, June 29, 2011 /CNW/ - Talon Metals Corp., ("Talon" or the "Company") (TSX: TLO) is pleased to announce that the final phase of the legal process to complete the distribution of shares in Rio Verde Minerals Corporation ("Rio Verde") to Talon shareholders on a pro rata basis (the "RV Distribution") is expected to occur in July 2011.

On July 8, 2011 a hearing is scheduled in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (Virgin Islands) for the court to consider the granting of the final order approving the distribution of Rio Verde shares to Talon shareholders and the Plan of Arrangement involving Talon, Rio Verde, EM Resources Inc. (a reporting issuer in Ontario) and a subsidiary of EM Resources Inc, which will allow Rio Verde to have its shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX").

The "effective date" of the RV Distribution is expected to be several days after this final order is granted, once the registrar in the British Virgin Islands has certified the order and the TSX has given its conditional approval for the listing of the Rio Verde shares.

Only shareholders of Talon holding shares on the "effective date" are eligible to receive shares in Rio Verde. Talon shareholders will receive one ordinary share of Rio Verde for every four common shares of Talon held. The Rio Verde shares will be subject to a six month hold period. This was required by the syndicate of brokers for Rio Verde's equity financing which was completed this week. Rio Verde anticipates listing on the TSX in July 2011.

"Talon shareholders will directly benefit from Rio Verde's anticipated TSX listing and any future value created as it executes on its strategy to become a substantial fertilizer company in Brazil," said Mr. Eddie Scholtz, President and CEO of Talon.
