Re: Kalahari Minerals & NWT Uranium Announc...

For release at 1330hrs 25th January, 2010 Emerging Metals Limited ("EML", "Emerging Metals" or "the Company") Investment in Kalahari Minerals Plc and Announcement of NWT Uranium The Directors of Emerging Metals Limited (AIM: EML) note the announcement of NWT Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: "NWT") on 20th January 2010 advising that NWT will be taking immediate steps to requisition an EGM of shareholders of Niger Uranium Limited ("Niger Uranium"). NWT holds approximately 35% of the outstanding issued shares of Niger Uranium which carry a right to vote at shareholder meetings. At the General Meeting to be convened at NWT's request, NWT proposes that Niger Uranium shareholders vote on a composite resolution for (i) the removal of Niger Uranium's Executive Chairman, David de Jongh Weill, as a director and his replacement with Wayne Isaacs, and (ii) the authorization of the Niger Uranium board to take the necessary steps to seek the distribution by Kalahari Minerals Plc (AIM: KAH) ("Kalahari") of not less than 90% of its shares in Extract Resources Limited (ASX/TSX/NSX: EXT) ("Extract") to shareholders of Kalahari. NWT's management would, if successful, recommend that substantially all of the Extract shares be subsequently distributed to Niger Uranium shareholders by way of a special dividend. Niger Uranium currently holds approximately 13% of the outstanding shares of Kalahari and Kalahari currently indirectly holds approximately 41% of the outstanding shares of Extract. While Emerging Metals is not a shareholder of NWT, it is a significant shareholder of Kalahari holding 17,835,294 shares of Kalahari, representing approximately 8.53% of Kalahari's outstanding shares. The Directors of Emerging Metals wish to go on record stating that they will oppose the distribution of the Extract shares held by Kalahari as they view it as a value destructive move. The Directors of Emerging Metals therefore believe that it is in the best interests of Kalahari shareholders that Kalahari's 41% interest in Extract be retained by Kalahari and not be distributed to shareholders. - ends - Contact details Emerging Metals Blomfield Corporate Fox-Davies Capital GTH Limited Finance Limited Limited Communications Jim Mellon Toby Howell Daniel Fox-Davies Toby Hall Denham Eke Peter Christian Pickel Trevelyan-Clark +44 (0) 1624 639396 +44 (0) 20 7489 +44 (0) 20 7936 +44 (0) 20 7153 4500 5200 8035
