Virgin Metals Completes Acquisition of Cuatro Hermanos Property

Toronto, Ontario - July 3, 2007 - Virgin Metals Inc. ("Virgin Metals" or the "Company") (TSX: VGM) reports that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% ownership (including the 3% net smelter royalty) of the Cuatro Hermanos copper/molybdenum property located in State of Sonora, Mexico from Morgain Minerals Inc. ("Morgain") in exchange for a payment of U.S. $2.5 million and the issuance of 500,000 common shares of Virgin Metals to Morgain.

Cuatro Hermanos is a copper/molybdenum porphyry exploration target that has been the subject of a number of drill campaigns over the past four decades. Prior surface mapping and drilling have outlined porphyry mineralization over an area of about 4.5 square kilometers. The Company expects to mobilize a drill to the property within a few days to begin further exploration of the property.

The Company also reports that it has engaged Valerie Kimball as Manager, Investor Relations.  Valerie comes to us with extensive experience in both the securities industry and in investor relations with junior resource companies.

Virgin Metals is a junior exploration and development company; its projects include two copper/molybdenum porphyry properties in Sonora, northern Mexico. One of these, Los Verdes, is expected to evolve rapidly towards production while the other, Cuatro Hermanos, is expected to be the focus of expanded exploration effort.
