VAL D'OR, QUEBEC-(June 25, 2009) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) is pleased to announce that as part of a staking syndicate it has acquired a 25% interest in each of two additional properties in the White River area south of Dawson City, Yukon. These properties are separate and not included in the Ballarat property option described in the Hinterland press release dated June 23, 2009. The first property consists of 32 claims (664ha) covering the north slope of Thistle Mountain at the headwaters of Thistle Creek. Historical cumulative placer gold production from creeks draining Thistle Mountain including Ballarat, Thistle, Kirkman, Sparkling and Barker is reported to be 104,604 ounces in the period 1913 to 2006 (Compiled from Yukon Placer Mining Industry volumes published by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada).

VAL D'OR, QUEBEC-( June 23, 2009) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the 12 claim Ballarat property located approximately 15km to the south of the Golden Saddle zone where Underworld Resources Inc. recently reported notable gold values in drill intersections (TSX VENTURE:UW) Press Release May 26, 2009). Under the terms of the option, Hinterland has agreed to pay the Vendor $40,000 cash, issue 400,000 shares and complete $500,000 of exploration work scheduled over a three year period to earn a 100% interest in the property subject to a 2% royalty on mineral production. Hinterland will have the option to purchase 1% of the royalty for $1 Million and will have the right of first refusal on the remaining 1%. In addition Hinterland has agreed to pay the Vendor an advance royalty of $110,000 upon the completion of a 43-101 compliant report that defines measured or indicated gold resources of 110,000 ounces or more on the property. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval. All securities issued pursuant to the option agreement will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issue.

The Vendor has been active in the White River area as far back as 1980 when he was involved in placer mining. He first staked the 102 "NEAR" claims in 1990 that covered most of Underworld's present Black Fox property. In 1996 he re-staked the 12 "KIT" claims at the head of Ballarat Creek to cover a southeast-trending soil geochemical anomaly outlined in 1991 that showed maximum individual values of 811ppb (0.8g/t) gold (Yukon Geology AFR 092982). Quartz boulders on the Kit claims were also reported to return values up to 0.925opt Au. Subject to the option agreement, Hinterland has staked the adjacent 68 "TIK" claims to cover the projected southeastern extension of the geochemical anomaly. Assuming all the staked claims are accepted and recorded by the Yukon Mining Recorder, the Ballarat property will include 80 claims (1661ha) covering the southeastern slopes of Thistle Mountain. Historical cumulative placer gold production from creeks draining Thistle Mountain including Ballarat, Thistle, Kirkman, Sparkling and Barker is reported to be 104,604 ounces in the period 1913 to 2006 (Compiled from Yukon Placer Mining Industry volumes published by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada).

VAL D'OR, QUEBEC - (April 22, 2009) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) is pleased to report that as at December 31, 2008, it had working capital of $639,975 based on current assets and liabilities as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Hinterland invested $442,564 in exploration expenditures of which $271,342 was spent on the Ebay PGE property.

A net loss for 2008 of $994,980 was relatively high compared to 2007 largely due to two factors. First as the stock market crumbled late in 2008, an unfavorable change of $271,335 in value of listed shares held for trading was recorded. Secondly, Hinterland aggressively wrote-off acquisition and exploration expenses of $676,506 for a number of properties where exploration results were below expectations and it was determined that there was little chance of recovering the investments made. Administrative expenses were kept under relatively tight control at $292,330.

Hinterland is well positioned financially to continue corporate activities, maintain its property portfolio and evaluate new opportunities but will require additional financing to advance its exploration projects. The expected exploration budget for 2009 is $350,000. This will be mostly spent on the Company's gold properties in the Abitibi region of Quebec and Ontario.

Mark Fekete, President and CEO of Hinterland Metals will record a "Yahoo! Small Cap Show" Interview on the Company's official Investor Relations Site at http://agoracom.com/ir/hinterland. The recording is expected to be available on or after April 27th, 2009. Furthermore investors are encouraged to review the annual financial statements and management discussion and analysis posted on SEDAR and on the Company's website for more detail.

Hedge Fund Investors Turn To Gold In Bet Against Central Banks

By Henny Sender in New York and Javier Blas in London

Published: March 9 2009 02:00 | Last updated: March 9 2009 02:00

Hedge fund investors who made money last year by betting against investment banks are buying gold as a way of betting against central banks.

The gold bulls include David Einhorn, founder of hedge fund Greenlight Capital, who last year came under the spotlight for his short selling of shares in Lehman after arguing that the bank did not have enough capital to offset its exposure to falling property prices.

Other funds looking at gold include Eton Park and TPG-Axon, investors said.

Their belief in bullion is being expressed even as gold prices have retreated from last month's break above the $1,000 an ounce level. Spot gold in London closed on Friday at $939.10, after falling last week to $900.95 an ounce.

Investors such as Mr Einhorn are turning to gold because they are worried about the response of the US Federal Reserve and other central banks to the economic crisis. A bet on gold is a bet against paper currencies.

"The size of the Fed's balance sheet is exploding and the currency is being debased. Our guess is that if the chairman of the Fed is determined to debase the currency, he will succeed," Mr Einhorn wrote to investors.

"Our instinct is that gold will do well either way: deflation will lead to further steps to debase the currency, while inflation speaks for itself."

Mr Einhorn's comments - and the revelation that he is buying gold - are in line with the views held by other institutional investors in Europe, according to bankers in London.

The head of commodity sales at one bullion bank told the Financial Times that he had never been so busy dealing in gold for large investors.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and UBSforecast that the gold price would rise above $1,000 this year.

Peter Munk, chairman of Barrick Gold, the largest bullion miner, told investors last week that all countries had embarked on policies that would favour gold.

"The only option to governments is to print and print more money," he said. "That will end in tears."

Hedge funds had avoided gold because it does not produce yield and costs money to store and insure. But that has become less important as central banks have pushed interest rates to nearly zero, reducing the yields on currencies.

"Basic Facts about Gold"-Jim Anthony-Chairman-Seabridge Gold
Friday, 27th February 2009

There are about 5 billion ounces of above ground gold supply worth about USD 5 trillion at current prices. Less than 5% trades annually. The above ground gold supply is growing at about 1.5% annually, the 300 year average.

New gold supply is price inelastic. If you double the gold price, production will fall as miners extend precious mine life by processing lower grades through fixed rate capacity. Building new capacity is the work of decades. Re-opening old mines is difficult and expensive and there are few worthwhile opportunities which have not been exploited. Meanwhile, discovery rates are declining, discovery costs are rising, mines are depleting and production is falling at about 5% per year. The world's best gold deposits have been found and mined.

Gold's highest and best use is in a vault as a store of value. It is not a commodity. Jewelry 'consumption' of gold is a traditional store of value. The industrial/medical uses of gold are diminimus. If gold had important other uses, there would be less of it and the price would be lower because it would be valued as a commodity subject to substitution effects. No other substance has the unique properties and a supply sufficient to act as an ultimate store of value which is why gold has had this role for at least 6000 years.

Gold is therefore a financial asset in physical form and sometimes a currency. It goes up in price when confidence in other financial assets [stocks, bonds] is falling and falls when confidence in these alternatives is rising.

Other financial assets have the advantages of convenience and income. Gold's advantage is that it is final settlement anywhere in the world. Gold backs itself whereas other currencies and financial assets merely represent, and depend upon, the countries and companies which issue them and stand behind them. Gold is a currency without a country or central bank...there is no issuer to inflate supply or default on its obligations.

There are approximately USD 140 trillion in other financial assets world-wide so the current value of above ground gold is about 4% of this total. In 1980, when inflation weakened confidence in stocks and bonds, the ratio was greater than 25%. It currently requires about 8 ounces of gold to buy the Dow, down from 44 in 1999. In 1980, the ratio reached 1 to 1.

Sprott Says U.S. Depression Will Boost Gold Price

Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Eric Sprott, the Canadian money manager who last year predicted banking stocks would collapse, said the U.S. is at the beginning of an economic depression that will help gold prices more than double.

Bullion may top $2,000 an ounce in coming years amid a series of financial catastrophes, the chairman and founder of Toronto-based Sprott Asset Management Inc. said yesterday in an interview. Banks will battle to replenish capital, Treasury auctions stand the risk of failing and the moribund economy will create a dire operating outlook for many companies, he said.

“The trend is down, and there’s not one signpost that says it’s changing yet,” Sprott said yesterday from Toronto. “We’ll stand by to wait to see those, and until it does, you have to assume it gets worse.”

Sprott, who manages $4.5 billion, said in March that the world was in a “systemic financial meltdown,” a call that presaged the collapse of financial institutions including Bear Stearns & Co. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Since then, the U.S. has entered the worst economic slowdown since the Great Depression, credit markets have tightened and asset prices have dropped as companies and funds sell portfolios to raise cash.

The 81-company Standard & Poor’s 500 Financials Index has dropped 62 percent since Sprott said on March 6 he was buying bullion and gold-producers’ shares, while shorting financial- sector stocks. Gold slipped 6.3 percent during the same period.

So-called short-selling allows speculators to profit from a stock’s decline by borrowing shares, selling them to raise cash and buying them later when the price drops to repay the debt.

Sprott Funds

Sprott Hedge Fund LP posted a one-year return of 9.9 percent, while Sprott Hedge Fund LP II rose 18 percent in the period, according to data posted on the company’s Web site. The Sprott Canadian Equity Fund dropped 37 percent.

Sprott now favors buying more gold stocks and bullion while selling the entire equity market short. Most at risk in the current climate are banks, discretionary consumer stocks and any companies needing to refinance debt, he said.

Sprott believes there is a chance that a U.S. Treasury auction will fail as countries use their resources to quell financial turmoil in their home markets, leaving less to help finance the world’s largest economy. That outcome will have a “catastrophic” impact, he said.

“When do people stop buying the credit of the country? That’s a tough question to answer, but it’s on a lot of people’s lips right now,” he said. “Each country has their own financial problem, so there’s no funding for anything external.”

Gold Investors

Such concerns have driven investors to the gold market, propelling the metal higher as other commodities have slumped and helping gold-producers’stocks almost double in the past three months.

Greenlight Capital Inc., a $5.1 billion New York-based hedge fund, has invested in gold for the first time, while Federated Investors Inc.’s $1.3 billion Federated Market Opportunity Fund, which outperformed 99 percent of rivals last year, now countsYamana Gold Inc. and Goldcorp Inc. among its largest investments.

Gold companies such as Newmont Mining Corp. and Kinross Gold Corp. have taken the opportunity to issue stock to bolster their own balance sheets.

Barrick Gold Corp. Chairman Peter Munk said last week he has been inundated with calls from wealthy investors seeking to buy gold to protect their capital.

“The window to raise money for gold stocks has blown open,” Sprott said. “The investing public has started to go to that one thing that they think it’s safe to invest in.”

Dear Hinterland Shareholders:

We are pleased to present to you the latest installment of the "Yahoo! Small Cap Show" segment, with Mr. Mark Fekete, President and CEO of Hinterland Metals Inc.

In this installment, Mr. Fekete discusses the Company’s recent press release, on October 28, 2008 and other company developments.

AGORACOM

VAL D'OR, QUEBEC-(Oct. 28, 2008) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) wishes to provide shareholders with a corporate update. As management and major investors in your company, we share your frustration with the current market and the devastating effect that the credit crisis is having on the junior resource sector.

Despite the recent decline in share value and market capitalization, management is still focused on building a long-term profitable business that will survive and thrive beyond the market extremes of 2008. The recent reduction in metal prices is an irrational response to the credit crisis in the United States. Moreover, metals are fundamental to the development of emerging economies and will continue to remain in high demand. Accordingly, Hinterland expects that metal prices will recover in 2009 and that mineral exploration will remain a viable industry.

Since June 2006 Hinterland has concentrated most of its exploration efforts on the Ebay platinum and palladium property near Matagami, Quebec. This strategy made very good sense during a period when platinum prices rose steadily from $US1100 in early May 2006 to a peak of $US2252 in early March 2008 and palladium prices went from $US380 to $US579. The prices of these metals started a rapid decline in mid-July 2008 and have recently hit five-year lows of $US738 for platinum and $US158 for palladium. Hinterland's exploration work on the Ebay property was very successful with a new discovery being made by drilling in November 2006 and further good drill results being announced in March 2007 and February 2008.

However, it is apparent that the automotive manufacturing sector is in steep decline. Since the principal use of platinum and palladium is for autocatalytic anti-pollution devices, it seems unlikely that the prices of these metals will recover in the short term. In light of all these events, management believes it to be in the best interests of the Company to put the Ebay project on hold and focus on the Company's two most advanced gold properties.

Hinterland currently has approximately $650,000 of unrestricted working capital, no debt and a strong portfolio of exploration properties. All of its properties are in good standing for a minimum of four years with no further investment by the Company. This diverse property portfolio allows management to switch priorities according to market conditions. Management's working philosophy has always been hands on with the most of the exploration work done in house rather than by expensive outside consultants. Hinterland also benefits from strong personal relationships with key suppliers many of whom are long-term shareholders.

Many junior exploration companies will not make it through these tough times. Companies that are particularly at risk are those with projects in remote areas where logistics and lack of infrastructure make exploration very costly. Hinterland has always concentrated on areas where it is relatively cheap to operate and the regulatory environment is friendly. Hinterland sees plenty of opportunity in the distress of its competitors and is on the look out for prospective properties and high-quality projects becoming available over the next several months.

Investors are invited to visit the Hinterland IR Hub at www.agoracom.com/IR/Hinterland where an interview with President Mark Fekete discussing Hinterland's current status and its future prospects will be made available on October 29, 2008.

Dear Shareholders,

In an effort to keep you up to date on all pertinent information regarding the resource sector and more specifically the supply demand fundamentals of gold bullion, please see the latest AGORACOM Blog entry titled, "Bloomberg - Gold May Hit $950 As Central Banks and Miners Hold Back Sales."

Gold is up $64 to $844 as of 12:15 PM EST. I could end this post here and that one sentence could be the entire story.

However, like a good infomercial, “there is more!”. Specifically, Bloomberg is running a story that gold may hit $950 by the end of the year “as central banks and miners hold back sales and investors buy the metal as a haven against falling stock prices.”

The good news for gold bugs is that a $950 price isn’t tethered to simply a shaky stock market. Otherwise, a market turnaround on its own could quell the gold rush.

Rather, London-based researcher GFMS Ltd. states that Central Bank sales will drop 46 percent in 2008, while mine supply will decline for a third year. Specifically, with respect to mine supply, global mine production will drop 2.3 percent this year to 2,422 tons, the lowest since 1996 That is going to put great pressure on an already string tight supply issue.

Moreover, GFMS believes demand from investors worldwide will soar 38 percent to 778 metric tons, with purchases in east Asia more than doubling.

GRANDICH HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD AGAIN

If I didn know any better, I would think that Peter Grandich single-handedly sets the price of gold. For about the zillionth time over the last 3 years, Grandich once again pegged an overextended gold price (oversold or overbought) when he made this statement just 5days ago in his newsletter:

“I have just recorded the single most oversold condition for Gold since the great
bull market began at the start of this decade”

After a brief hiatus, it looks like gold is back and possibly stronger than ever.

The Malagawatch deposit is the more important of the two for potash and was discovered in an oil well drilled by Chevron Standard Ltd. and Irving Oil Company Ltd. in 1978. Ten deep wells and numerous diamond drill holes roughly define the deposit. Potash occurs at two distinct stratified layers. The "A" potash layer occurs up to 9m thick within a thick salt succession that completes the first major cycle of sedimentation within the lower Windsor Group. The thinner "B" potash layer occurs higher up within the middle Windsor Group. Although only limited drilling has been completed at the Orangedale deposit, it is stratigraphically similar to Malagawatch located 20km to the southeast. Both the "A" and "B" potash layers have been intersected at Orangedale but they are not as wide or as consistent as at Malagawatch.

Special exploration licenses are granted in Nova Scotia according to ministerial discretion. Once the license is granted it is valid for one year from the date it is issued, and may be renewed for four additional years. Applications must be submitted with a five year work proposal. Hinterland's proposal includes detailed compilation and 3-D modeling of previous drill hole data followed by confirmation drilling in the first year.

Platinum may not have the cachet of gold or silver, but the surging price of this rare commodity is making for a more attractive investment play.

Over five years, the white metal has soared 214 per cent to $2,018 (U.S.) an ounce yesterday - a price set by the London Platinum & Palladium Market. The price hit a record of $2,273 an ounce in early March.

"Platinum is kind of a forgotten metal," says Nick Barisheff, president of Toronto-based Bullion Management Group Inc., which runs BMG Bullion, a mutual fund investing equally in gold, silver and platinum.

"But platinum has gone up 31 per cent this year, while silver is up 13 per cent and gold up 5 per cent," Mr. Barisheff said. "My fund is up 15 per cent year to date in U.S. dollars, and it is largely because of platinum."

Strong demand for platinum comes from the auto industry for catalytic converters, particularly in diesel cars and trucks. The second largest market is jewellery followed by various other industrial uses like electronics equipment.

There has also been a burst of speculative investment demand recently for platinum from European-based commodity-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are backed by the metal itself.

Unlike gold and silver found around the world, nearly 80 per cent of the global supply of platinum is mined in South Africa and 15 per cent in Russia, Mr. Barisheff said. "If there are any supply hiccups ... the price goes up dramatically."

The price of platinum jumped sharply earlier this year because of supply disruptions that were triggered by power shortages in South Africa, and mines were shut down because of safety concerns.

While the price of the metal has pulled back with electricity somewhat restored, London-based platinum specialist Johnson Matthey recently forecast a "shortfall" of 200,000 ounces from the country in 2008, and predicted platinum will trade from $1,775 to $2,500 an ounce in the next six months.

Vancouver-based analyst Bart Jaworski of Raymond James Ltd. estimates the power shortages caused by aging infrastructure in South Africa will continue until 2012.

The country's power problems will get worse next month and in August, when it is winter in South Africa and there is peak demand coming from heaters, he said.

Mr. Jaworski expects "load shedding," whereby electricity to certain customers is disrupted when the demand becomes greater than the supply. "Some of the platinum miners will be affected," he suggested.

"The ETFs, which own about 365,000 ounces of platinum compared with 40,000 ounces at the end of 2007, have played a really big role in exacerbating the issue. I expect that they will play a role this summer."

(There are no platinum ETFs in North America, but two exchange-traded notes - UBS E-Tracs Long Platinum and UBS E-Tracs Short Platinum - began trading on the New York Stock Exchange last month, and they track the prices of platinum futures contracts.)

Besides BMG Bullion, the other platinum plays in Canada are through junior mining stocks, although there is a risk that share prices don't always track the price of bullion.

Still, Mr. Jaworski has an "outperform" rating on Vancouver-based Eastern Platinum Ltd. (target $4.20 Canadian); Anooraq Resources Corp. (target $5) and Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (target $4.40).

All three stocks "should do well over the summer" in a rising price environment, but there is risk the South African government's utility could turn off power instead to the less labour-intensive aluminum industry as a political move, he suggested. "Over all I think that everyone is going to get cut to some degree."

He is most bullish on Eastern Platinum, which focuses on South Africa's Bushveld Complex - the platinum hot spot - and owns a majority stake in the Crocodile River mine. It also has takeover potential by larger companies like Swiss-based miner Xstrata PLC, which last year bought Eland Platinum Holdings Ltd., Mr. Jaworski said.

Analyst Leon Esterhuizen of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. agrees that "supply constraints will likely continue to keep the platinum price high."

He favours juniors that are producing or will be shortly, that have less exposure to power shortages because they extract metal from open pits or shallow mines, and have an "off-take agreement" to sell all or a large part of the metal from a project.

Among Canadian-listed juniors, he has an "outperform" rating on Anooraq Resources (target $6.30); Eastern Platinum (target $5.00) and Toronto-based Platmin Ltd. (target $14). "These companies will also feature very prominently as potential takeover targets," he wrote in a report.
