.. Additional Indicated resources of 2,700,000 tonnes at a grade of
0.277% WO3 (containing a further 748,000 MTU tungsten trioxide)

"Our Panasqueira mine continues to perform well and we are pleased with
the progress and capital improvements that have been made," said Lewis
Black, Chairman of the Company. "We have faced the need for extensive
ongoing mine development while at the same time maintaining profitable
operations. Tungsten prices have remained relatively strong and we look
forward to a long and successful future for Panasqueira."

The current improvement in the price of tungsten has enabled profitable
mining of material previously considered uneconomic at times of low
metal prices, while at the same time generating funds to permit
necessary mine development and replacement of equipment.

The Panasqueira mine has a long history of production of high quality
wolframite concentrates and is the dominant producer of high quality
tungsten concentrates outside China. Complete audited financial results
for the year together with the Management Discussion and Analysis of
Results and other information are available at www.sedar.com and at the
Company's website at www.primarymetals.ca

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

"James Robertson"

James Robertson, P. Eng., is a Qualified Person for Primary and has

See News Release dated March 29, 2007 for information about the
independent reserve and resource estimates for the Panasqueira mine.
(One MTU = 1 metric tonne unit or 10 kilograms of WO3 - tungsten
trioxide. The mean quoted European price for tungsten is currently
around US$240 per MTU of WO3)

The Panasqueira mine is in full production regularly shipping
concentrates of tungsten trioxide to its customers. Specific Quality
Control/Quality Assurance ("QC/QA") procedures such as those utilized
in base or precious metal mines are not in place at the mine. Instead
Panasqueira assesses the performance of the assaying facility and the
scales used to measure weights by comparing the mine assays with the
check assays completed by their customers. To date the customer assays
and company assays have been similar which forms a reliable test of the
production procedures related to QC/QA in place at the mine.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability based on available information.

This News Release contains forward-looking statements respecting the
company's expectations as to the results of planned work programs,
potential mineralization, resources, reserves, mine production levels
and future tungsten prices. Such statements are based on certain
assumptions, including continued demand for tungsten, availability of
capital, equipment and personnel to carry out and complete the planned
work programs and accuracy within a reasonable range of reported
exploration and development results, and involve various risks and
uncertainties, including global economic factors, future commodity
prices, lack of availability of equipment or personnel, and results of
exploration and development. There can be no assurance that such
statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Other important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the Company's expectations are disclosed under
the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's documents
