Duluth Metals Limited Announces Drill Results for Next 6 Holes

Duluth Metals Limited ("Duluth") (TSX: DM) (TSX:DM.U) is pleased to announce today that assay results have been received for the next 6 holes, MEX-09 to MEX-14, completed during the current 100,000 foot winter drilling program. Four drills are now in operation as part of a forty hole winter drilling program at Duluth's Maturi Extension project near Ely, Minnesota.

Drill holes MEX-09 to MEX-14 were drilled at various locations along the trend of mineralization throughout the Western Area of the Maturi Extension Project, where the objective of the current drill program is to define a NI 43-101 compliant resource. All drill holes intersected significant mineralization confirming the continuity of the mineralization between previously drilled holes, which are approximately 500 metres apart in this area of the property. Highlights of the 6 holes were MEX-12 and MEX -13. Within a total mineralized section of 185 feet, MEX-12 intersected 74 feet of 0.806% Cu, 0.25% Ni, 0.947 grams per tonne total precious metals(xx ) including 15 feet of 1.12% Cu, 0.316% Ni, and 1.496 grams per tonne total precious metals. Drill hole MEX-13, within a total mineralized interval of 150 feet, intersected 120 feet of 0.735% copper, 0.216% nickel and 0.673 grams per tonne total precious metals. (Using a 0.5% Cu cut-off. True thickness is estimated at about 90% of core length.)

For the winter drill program, half core samples were prepared at ALS Chemex Ltd. Laboratories in Thunder Bay and then shipped to its analytical facilities in Vancouver. Samples were analyzed for Au, Pt, Pd using a standard fire assay with an ICP finish and for 27 other elements using a four acid (near total) digestion and a combination of ICPMS and ICPAES. ICP over limits were re-analyzed using sodium peroxide fusion, acid dissolution followed by ICPAES. The remaining half core samples are being stored in Minnesota.

"The fact that all six holes hit mineralization confirms the continuity of the mineralization in the Western Area," stated Dr. Henry ( Rick) J. Sandri, President and CEO of Duluth. "Our objective is to prove up a significant NI 43-101 compliant resource in our Western Area and the latest drill results are moving us in that direction."

Four additional holes (MEX 15, 16, 17 and 18) are in the final stages of completion. Duluth has engaged Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc.(Scott Wilson RPA) to conduct a Mineral Resource Estimate and prepare a Technical Report which complies with NI 43-101 requirements. It is expected this estimate will be completed by early June with a report to follow in late July 2007.

David Oliver, P. Geo. is the Qualified Person for Duluth, in accordance with NI 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, and is responsible for the technical content of this press release and quality assurance of the exploration data and analytical results. The Company will be issuing periodic updates on the drilling and releasing assay results in groupings of 5-6 holes.
