Primary Metals Maintains Improvements at Panasqueira
======================================================================

Primary Metals Inc. (TSXV: PMI) (the "Company") is pleased to report
that June results at the Panasqueira tungsten mine continue to confirm
the initial improvements previously reported for May (see news release
dated June 13, 2007). A further modest increase in tungsten concentrate
production for June is reported and the higher mill feed grade has been
maintained. The results show a continued improvement in comparison to
the first four months of the year and also compare favourably with the
May results.

Tungsten production for the month of June increased to 9,868 MTUs of
WO3 (tungsten trioxide) compared to an average rate of 9,051 MTUs per
month for the first four months of the year (1 MTU = 1 metric tonne
unit or 10 kilograms). This is a 9.0% improvement and an additional
increase over the 9,708 MTUs produced in May. The mined ore grade
during June maintained the improvement to 0.18% WO3 that was
demonstrated in May. This continues to show an improvement over the
grade of 0.16% WO3 experienced in February and the average grade of
0.17% for the first four months of the year. The mining rate was also
slightly higher at 67,921 tonnes for June. This compares favourably to
an average rate of 65,371 tonnes for the first four months of the year
and the 66,775 tonnes in May.

"We are pleased that our June results confirm the modest improvements
reported for May," said Lewis Black, Chairman of the Company. "We are
very pleased with the work and commitment of our management and
production team and look forward to a continuation of these
improvements."

Recently estimated Proven and Probable Reserves and Indicated Resources
at Panasqueira total 5.13 million tonnes with a grade of 0.261% WO3
containing 1,340,000 MTUs of tungsten trioxide. The Proven and Probable
Reserves and the indicated resources, if converted to Reserves, would
provide approximately 8.5 years of plant feed at current rates,
assuming tungsten prices near current levels or higher. All of the
reserves are accessible from existing workings; some of the resources
will require additional mine development for access. In addition, there
are a further 1.8 million tonnes of Inferred Resources with a grade of
0.224% WO3, as well as additional exploration potential. These
independent estimates are compliant with NI 43-101 (see news release
dated March 29, 2007). Tungsten prices are currently around US$245 per
MTU.
