    For immediate release: 12 November 2010

    Emerging Metals Limited

    ("EML", "Emerging Metals" or "the Company")

    Acquisition and option over Uranium concentrates

    Emerging Metals Limited (AIM: EML), the mining company focused on minor and
    emerging metals, is pleased to announce that it has contracted for the physical
    delivery of 25,000lbs triuranium octocide ("U3O8") and has entered into an
    option agreement for the physical delivery of a further 200,000lbs U3O8.

    The contracts are in line with the Company's investing policy approved by
    shareholders at its meeting of shareholders on 16 April 2010 which encompasses
    exposure to Investment Metals including but not limited to the acquisition of
    physical quantities of Investment Metals commodities.

    The physical delivery contract is priced at US$58.00 for each and every pound
    of U3O8 delivered and is in respect of 25,000lbs U3O8. Delivery to a conversion
    facility in Canada is due on 17 January 2011 with cash payment (equivalent to £
    898,723 at £/$ 1.6134) by no later than 18 January 2011.

    The option contract is in respect of 200,000lbs U3O8 for physical delivery by
    book transfer at a designated facility and expires on 31 January 2011. An
    option premium of US$500,000 (equivalent to £309,905 at £/$ 1.6134) is payable
    on 17 November 2010 and the additional option strike price is US$59.00 per
    pound U3O8, or a total US$11,800,000 (equivalent to £7,313,747 at £/$ 1.6134).

    Stephen Dattels, Emerging Metals Co Chairman commented:

    "Uranium pricing prospects remain strong. The ability for the Company to invest
    in physical quantities of investment metals as well as mining projects gives us
    the flexibility to capitalise on shorter term pricing movements with the
    objective of generating meaningful returns to shareholders. Whilst cash
    available for investments remains strong, we are confident this first physical
    commodity investment will rapidly demonstrate the value of our broader
    investing policy to shareholders."
