Primary Metals Reports Improvements at Panasqueira Tungsten Mine
======================================================================

Primary Metals Inc. (the "Company") (TSXV: PMI) is pleased to report
initial improvements at its Panasqueira tungsten mine as a result of
the recent introduction of plans to increase profitability. Operations
have been proceeding well and are starting to show results, with May
figures showing an overall increase in tungsten concentrate production
resulting from a modest increase in the mined ore grade and slightly
improved mining rates.

Tungsten production for the month of May increased to 9,708 MTUs of WO3
compared to an average rate of 9,051 MTUs per month for the four prior
months, a 7% improvement (1 MTU = 1 metric tonne unit or 10 kilograms).
The mined ore grade during May was higher, averaging 0.18% WO3
(tungsten trioxide), an improvement over the low of 0.16% WO3
experienced in February and the average grade of 0.17% for the prior
four months. Mining rate was also slightly higher at 66,775 tonnes for
the month compared to an average rate of 65,371 tonnes for the prior
months.

"These improvements are considered a first step in the direction of
increasing profitability and, although small, are very encouraging,"
said Lewis Black, Chairman of the Company. "We believe that our mine
plans are based on a solid foundation and will lead to a long and
healthy life for Panasqueira. The expenditures that we have made on
equipment and refurbishment of the mine are starting to show results
and we are optimistic about continued improvements."

The mine has also made reductions in labour costs since the beginning
of this year and the work force now stands at 281 compared to 315
personnel at the end of 2006 as a result of the reduced number of
contract workers. This has been accomplished as a result of improved
efficiencies of the mine equipment and a reduction in mine development
activities following the completion of the new D9 underground ramp
between mine Levels 2 and 3 to access new tungsten zones. The required
ongoing mine development work will continue at a reduced rate and the
dilution effects of the lower grade development ore are expected to be
similarly reduced.

A full fleet of low profile underground mining equipment has recently
been introduced in the mine for use on Level 3, the main mining level.
This is expected to reduce stoping height wherever possible from a
typical historical level of 2.2 metres to around 2.0 metres by year
end, thereby reducing the amount of dilution caused by mining excess
waste rock. The overall effect is expected to result in an improvement
in mined ore grade and a reduction in operating costs.

Recently estimated Proven and Probable Reserves and Indicated Resources
total 5,130,000 tonnes with a grade of 0.261% WO3 and containing
1,340,000 MTUs of tungsten trioxide. 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 US$255 per MTU.

About Primary Metals Inc.

Through Beralt, the Company owns a 100 percent interest in the
Panasqueira tungsten mine in Portugal, which is currently producing
some 100,000 MTUs of tungsten trioxide in concentrates per annum (One
MTU = 1 Metric Tonne Unit or 10 kilograms). Tungsten is currently
trading at around US$260 per MTU. The Panasqueira mine has a long
history of production of high-quality wolframite concentrates and is
the dominant producer of high-grade tungsten concentrates outside
China. Further information is available at www.sedar.com and on the
Company's website at www.primarymetals.ca.
