Emerging Metals Limited (AIM: EML) is pleased to clarify that, further to the
approval of its expanded investing policy on 8 April 2011 and after
consultation with the Exchange, the Company became an investing company for the
purposes of the AIM Rules on 19 July 2010 (following completion of its disposal
of shares in Extract Resources) and hence has twelve months from that date to
make an acquisition(s) which constitute(s) a reverse takeover or otherwise
implement its investing policy to the satisfaction of the Exchange.

The Directors continue to review potential investment and acquisition
opportunities in line with the Company's new investing policy and will make
further announcements as and when required.

The full text of the investing policy approved by shareholders on 8 April 2011
is set out below:

The Company's strategic objective is to acquire holdings in natural resources
companies and/or physical resource assets which the Directors believe are
undervalued and where such a transaction has the potential to create value for
shareholders. The Directors intend to take an active role in the management of
such investments and estimate that they will be held for periods of up to five
years.

The Company is seeking to acquire interests in natural resources projects
(including but not limited to all metals, minerals and hydrocarbon projects) or
physical resource assets on a worldwide basis. Projects may include (without
limit) exploration permits and licences, processing plants, mines or oil and
gas fields, which may be achieved through acquisitions, partnerships or joint
venture arrangements. Such investments may result in the Company acquiring the
whole or part of a company or project, and may include the Company taking
strategic equity stakes in both public and private companies.

The Company's investments may take the form of equity, debt, convertible
instruments, licence rights, options or other financial instruments as the
Directors deem appropriate. Forward transaction and derivatives (including put
and call options on individual positions or physical resource assets) may be
used to gain exposure to resources or the securities of companies falling
within the Company's investing policy or to seek to generate income from the
Company's position in such resources or companies, as well as for efficient
portfolio management. The Company may hedge exposure to foreign currencies if
considered appropriate for efficient portfolio management. The Company would
not contemplate investments or acquisitions that carry a high degree of
contingent risk or liability that is capable of imposing financial obligations
upon the Company that it could not reasonably expect to meet.

The Company intends to continue to search for and review a number of
opportunities which the Directors believe would benefit from a degree of
further investment, the expertise of the Directors and access to the UK's
capital markets. The Company will review project opportunities at all stages
from early stage exploration to later stage extraction and processing.

The Directors believe that their broad collective experience in the areas of
acquisitions, accounting, corporate and financial management together with the
opinion of consultant experts in the evaluation and exploitation of natural
resources projects who will assist them in the identification and evaluation of
suitable opportunities, will enable the Company to achieve its strategic
objective. Where necessary, internationally recognised competent persons will
be commissioned to prepare reports on the projects being considered by the
Company.

The Directors may undertake initial project assessments themselves with
additional independent technical advice as required. There is no limit on the
number or size of projects into which the Company may invest.

Strategic equity investments may be undertaken in the ordinary course of the
Company's business and as an alternative to holding cash reserves on a
day-to-day basis. The Directors do not envisage that the Company's investment
portfolio will be leveraged initially; however, this position may be reviewed
should the Board become aware of available and commercially prudent financing
arrangements. The Company will consider cross holdings of shares in
circumstances that would benefit its broader strategic objective.

The Directors will consider distribution of any future returns to shareholders
by way of dividend, share repurchases, demergers, schemes of arrangement,
liquidation or other means in the light of prevailing circumstances at the time
of any such distribution.
