MetalCORP Limited (TSX VENTURE:MTC) is pleased to announce that it successfully
completed the second tranche of its previously announced $1,400,000 private
placement (the "Private Placement") (see MetalCORP's news releases dated March
29, 2010 and April 1, 2010). An aggregate of 1,350,000 units ("Units") were sold
today to subscribers at $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $270,000 (the
"Second Tranche"). Each Unit is comprised of one flow-through common share and
one-half of a flow-through common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant (a
"Warrant") entitles the holder to purchase one non-flow-through common share at
any time for a period of two years, at a price of $0.35 in the first year and
$0.45 in the second year.


One finder received as compensation $600 cash commission and 3,000 finder's
warrants, and one finder received as compensation $4,500 cash commission and
22,500 finder's warrants, each being 3.0% of the aggregate subscription amount
and 3% of the aggregate number of Units, respectively, sourced by such finders.
Each finder's warrant entitles the holder to purchase for a period of two years
one non-flow-through common share and one-half of a non-flow-through Warrant for
a price of $0.20. 


The gross proceeds to MetalCORP from the Private Placement will be used to fund
exploration expenses which qualify as "Canadian Exploration Expenses" (within
the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) in connection with MetalCORP's
projects in Ontario, including its Pickle Lake and Red lake (Black Bear) gold
properties, and projects at its Hemlo East gold property.


All the securities issued pursuant to this Second Tranche are subject to a four
(4) month hold period.
