WOLFRAM CAMP PROJECT - SHARE SALE AGREEMENT

With reference to a previous ASX release dated 6 September 2010, Planet Metals is pleased to announce it has finalised and signed a Share Sale Agreement with Tropical Metals Pty Ltd in respect of Planet Metals' 100% owned subsidiary, Wolfram Camp Mining Pty Ltd ("WCMPL") for a total sale price (including deposits) of A$7.9 million.

Tropical Metals has completed due diligence and paid a total of A$400,000 in deposits. Completion of the transaction is now expected to occur on or before 60 days from today's date. A condition of the transaction requires a meeting of Planet Metals Shareholders to be held to approve the sale of the shares it holds in Wolfram Camp Mining Pty Ltd (Shareholder Approval). The Company receiving Shareholder Approval to the transaction is the remaining condition of the Share Sale Agreement. Planet Metals' major shareholder, Metallica Minerals Limited (76%) has provided the Planet Metals' Chairman with an irrevocable proxy to vote in favour of the transaction at a shareholders' meeting. It is likely this meeting will coincide with the Company's Annual General Meeting.

As a result of final sale negotiations, it was mutually agreed to reduce the sale price by A$100,000 from A$8 million to A$7.9 million to account for site motor vehicle adjustments.
