Full Metal Reacquires 100% Interest in Pyramid Copper Deposit, Alaska

Vancouver, BC -March 5th, 2014 ( Full Metal Minerals Ltd. (FMM-TSX:V) ("Full Metal") is pleased to announce that the C
--->ompany has re-acquired from Antofagasta Minerals S.A. ("Antofagasta") a 51% interest in Pyramid Copper-Gold-Molybdenum
---> Porphyry Project in Alaska, subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Property").  Full Metal owns a 49
--->% interest in the Project.  Antofagasta had been in Phase II of the Option Agreement with Full Metal, with Antofagasta
---> having further rights to earn up to an 80% interest in the Property.
As consideration for the Assignment, Full Metal will make cash payments to Antofagasta in an aggregate of US$5,500,000
---> (the "Assignment Payments"), subject to certain acceleration and dispositions clauses, as follows:
US$3,000,000 ("First Assignment Payment") on or before the fifth anniversary of the Assignment Date; and
US$2,500,000 ("Second Assignment Payment") upon the completion of a positive, bankable Feasibility Study, where the da
--->te of the payment of this final US$2,500,000 is referred to as the ("Final Payment Date").

"Consolidating a 100% interest in Pyramid will allow Full Metal to step-out from near-surface higher grade copper mine
--->ralization identified to date at Pyramid, test new targets, as well as explore the large, adjacent 60 km2 San Diego Ba
--->y zone of alteration and anomalous polymetallic mineralization," said Rob McLeod, P.Geo, CEO of Full Metal Minerals. "
--->We are grateful for the excellent technical work performed by Antofagasta, that led to our discovery at Pyramid.  Anto
--->fagasta, through its affiliate company Antofagasta Investment Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Antofagast
--->a Plc., will be exposed to exploration upside on the Property through their 15% shareholding in the Company."

The Pyramid Deposit is located on lands under option from The Aleut Corporation, an Alaska Regional Native Corporation
--->.   The deposit is located less than eight kilometers from deep tidewater.  From 2010 to 2012, drilling has spanned an
---> area measuring approximately 1,800 meters east-west and 1,050 meters north-south.  From 2010-2012, 30 diamond drill h
--->oles totaling 7,486 meters were drilled at Pyramid. The Property hosts an Inferred Resources (see Report filed on Seda
--->r, dated June 21, 2013, was prepared according to NI 43-101 guidelines and in accordance with CIM Standards on Mineral
---> Resources and Reserves, under the supervision of independent qualified persons, The report was compiled by Dr. Gilles
---> Arseneau, P.Geo., and Darrell Farrow, M.Sc., Pr.Sci.Nat., both Associates with SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc.).

At a 0.21% copper equivalent cut-off, total contained copper in the Inferred resource category is estimated to be 1,33
--->8,000,000 pounds of copper, 74,000,000 pounds of molybdenum and 488,000 ounces of gold. Both near-surface supergene en
--->riched mineralization as well as hypogene copper mineralization were modeled and interpolated.  The mineral resource e
--->stimate shows that the hypogene mineral resource remains open to depth and along strike in most areas, and the higher 
--->grade supergene enriched mineralization is also open for expansion in several areas.

The inferred resource for the Pyramid deposit reported at Cu Eq. grade of 0.21 percent is presented in Table 1.
