Strategic Metals Ltd. Announces Early Warning Report Filing Regarding Its Shareholdings in Precipitate Gold Corp.

Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SMD) ("Strategic") announces that it has been
issued 5,068,827 common shares of Precipitate Gold Corp. ("Precipitate") as
partial consideration for the granting by Strategic to Precipitate of an option
entitling Precipitate to acquire a 100% interest in Strategic's Fireside
Project, located in the Watson Lake Mining District, Yukon Territory and in
northern British Columbia. Strategic will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty
on all precious metals commercial production and a 1% net smelter return royalty
on all non-precious metals commercial production from the property. To exercise
the option, Precipitate was required to pay $300,000 to Strategic and must incur
a total of $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures by December 31, 2013, of which
$425,000 has already been incurred.


Of the 5,068,827 Precipitate shares held by Strategic, a total of 1,222,460
shares are subject to a two year escrow period. 20% of these shares were
released from escrow on the listing of Precipitate's shares on the TSX Venture
Exchange (the "Exchange") on May 29, 2012, with an additional 20% to be released
from escrow every six months thereafter. The remaining 3,846,367 shares are
subject to a three year escrow agreement, with 10% having been released from
escrow on the listing of Precipitate's shares on the Exchange, with an
additional 15% to be released every six months thereafter.


Prior to the issuance of these shares, Strategic did not hold any Precipitate
shares. The 5,068,827 Precipitate common shares acquired by Strategic at closing
represent 19.9% of Precipitate's current issued capital. All of these shares
will be held directly by Strategic and are being held for investment purposes.
Strategic may in the future take such actions in respect of its Precipitate
shares as it deems appropriate in light of the market circumstances then
existing, including the potential purchase of additional shares of Precipitate
through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, or the sale
of all or portion of such holdings in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions to one or more purchasers. Strategic also has the right to
participate in future financings by Precipitate so as to maintain its percentage
equity interest.
