DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.


Silvermet Inc. ("Silvermet" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SYI) announced today
that it has filed a Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid
("NCIB") with the TSX Venture Exchange.


Under the Normal Course Issuer Bid and subject to regulatory approval, the
Company will purchase up to 14,552,872 common shares which number of common
shares is equal to 10% of the Company's public float, over the twelve (12) month
period ended March 11, 2013 through D&D Securities Inc.


As announced in its news release dated February 29, 2012 Silvermet generated
record production and sales in 2011. In addition, Silvermet recently secured
approval for the acquisition of land in Turkey suitable for the construction of
new production facilities which on commencement of operations, will materially
increase production volumes and earnings.


Silvermet is of the opinion that the market price of its common shares does not
reflect fair value and as such purchases made under the NCIB represent good
value to Silvermet and its shareholders.


About Silvermet:

Silvermet's principal business activity is the recycling of electric arc furnace
dust ("EAFD") obtained from steel companies through a Waelz kiln to recover zinc
concentrates that are then sold to zinc smelters throughout the world. The
Company owns 49% of a joint venture, Befesa Silvermet Turkey S.L. ("BST"), which
operates a Waelz kiln facility located in Iskenderun, Turkey.
