Duluth Metals Announces Early Warrant Exercise
======================================================================
TORONTO, Ontario, May 21, 2008 - Duluth Metals Limited ("Duluth
Metals") (TSX: DM) (TSX:DM.U) Duluth Metals is pleased to announce in
response to a request by the Company that institutional participants in
the April/May 2007 private placement have exercised since the beginning
of November 2007, a total of 8,926,879 warrants producing approximately
Cdn$14,729,000 of funding.
"We are extremely appreciative of our institutional shareholders
providing additional funding to support our aggressive exploration
program. The new funding was achieved by way of an early exercise of
warrants that do not expire until May 2010. Drawbridge Global Macro,
Goldman Sachs, and Trafigura, amongst others, have all participated in
the early exercise two years ahead of expiry", said Henry J. Sandri,
President and CEO. "Drawbridge Global Macro now holds 10,000,000
common shares which represents an approximate 12.64% share position in
Duluth Metals after their most recent exercise and gives them an equal
percentage to our other largest shareholder, Wallbridge Mining Company
Limited."
Duluth Metals currently has five drills turning on the property. Two of
the rigs are continuing with large diameter PQ core drilling with the
objective of providing bulk sample material for further metallurgical
test work.
In addition, an Interim Mineral Resource Estimate is being prepared by
independent consultants. This estimate is expected at the end of May.
