Linear Reports Initial Mineral Resource Estimate

TORONTO, ON - Linear Metals Corporation reported initial Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the Main Zone at its Cobre Grande Project in Oaxaca, Mexico. This resource consists of multiple adjoining but distinct zones of mineralization. The 49.8 million tonne Inferred Mineral Resource includes in-situ metal quantities of 545 million pounds of copper, 44 million pounds of molybdenum, 243 million pounds of zinc, and 21 million ounces of silver.
Brian MacEachen, Linear Metals President & CEO, states, "We are encouraged that the first 43-101 compliant resource estimate at Cobre Grande has identified a significant 49.8 million tonne Mineral Resource with excellent prospects of being mined by open pit methods. While this resource represents a significant milestone for the Company, we believe this is just the first chapter in the Cobre Grande story and look forward to continuing to advance this very prospective property. We have some excellent targets with the potential to expand this Mineral Resource before the commencement of a scoping study later in 2008."
The Mineral Resource encompasses the 1.6 kilometre long Main Zone of the Cobre Grande project where exploration has focused to date. Strong metal zonation and surface oxidization led to the definition of five metallurgically distinct sub-zones within the Main Zone.
In addition to this Mineral Resource, the Cobre Grande project offers excellent up-side potential. The Main Zone remains open to the north and the property has excellent potential for hosting parallel mineralized zones to the west of the Main Zone.
