Ecometals Launches New Website

TORONTO, ONTARIO today announced the launch of its new website, www.ecometalslimited.com.

"Our new website reflects the very significant changes to the company that we have achieved since mid-2007," said Mark Kesselman, Chief Financial Officer. "It has been designed to provide investors with concise and relevant information, presented in a comprehensive and user-friendly format."

"We expect the new URL, coupled with an expanded investor relations program, to bring the Ecometals investment opportunity to a broad spectrum of new investors," added Fran Scola, Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Scola explains the restructuring of Ecometals and provides an update on its holdings in South America in the January issue of Equities magazine. The article, which is posted on the new website, also notes the company's 44.4% interest in Atomaer Holdings Pty Ltd., a private Australian holding company. The Ecometals share of Atomaer's investments in three publicly traded companies equates to approximately $75 million in terms of their market capitalizations, which exceeds the market cap of Ecometals itself.
