Virgin Metals Inc. Engages CHF Investor Relations

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/24/12 -- Virgin Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VGM) is pleased to announce that it has engaged CHF Investor Relations, a highly regarded Canadian investor relations firm headquartered in Toronto, as its IR partner.

'We are looking forward to getting our story out with CHF to the Canadian investment community,' commented Chris Frostad Virgin Metals' President and CEO. 'In particular, we expect that the positive January 2012 Preliminary Economic Assessment on our Los Verdes copper-molybdenum project will garner new interest for our Company. Likewise in the Sonora state of Mexico, we have two 100%-owned copper-moly properties adjacent to each other that, we believe, can be developed successfully behind Los Verdes.'

Effective immediately, the services agreement for investor relations is for a term of twelve months, and may be extended for up to one year. Under the terms of the services agreement, which is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, CHF will receive $6,000 per month in fees and reimbursement of expenses. CHF has been granted a total of 400,000 VGM stock options of which 200,000 have an exercise price of $0.30 per share and 200,000 have an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The options vest quarterly over twelve months and have a 3-year term, expiring on February 23, 2015. Upon termination of the services agreement, any vested options will be cancelled after 30 days, as is required for TSX Venture's Tier 2 Issuers.

Prior to the grant of options outlined above, CHF had no direct or indirect interest in the Company or its securities.
