Magma Metals-Independent Expert Finds Panoramic Offer "Not Fair and Not Reasonable"

Magma Metals Limited (ASX:MMW)(TSX:MMW) ("Magma" or the "Company") commissioned
BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ("BDO") to prepare an independent expert's
report in respect of the unsolicited takeover offer for the Company by Panoramic
Resources Limited (ASX:PAN) ("Panoramic").


Panoramic is offering 2 new shares for every 17 Magma shares held. This equates
to approximately A$0.155 per Magma share, based on the closing price of
Panoramic shares on the ASX on 2 March 2012 of A$1.315.


The BDO report assigns a value for each Magma share of between A$0.265 and
A$0.475, with a preferred value of A$0.370 per share, a 138% premium to the
value of the Panoramic offer. BDO has concluded in its report that the Panoramic
offer is "neither fair nor reasonable" to Magma shareholders.


A full copy of the report is available with the Company's documents at SEDAR
(www.sedar.com) as well as on Magma's website (www.magmametals.com.au.)


Magma's Board of Directors reiterates its previous advice that shareholders TAKE
NO ACTION in relation to the Panoramic offer, pending further advice from the
Board.


Magma's Target's Statement will be released during the week commencing 12 March
2012.
