Selkirk Metals Corp. ("Selkirk") (TSX VENTURE: SLK) - Further to the news releases of Selkirk Metals Corp. ("Selkirk") (TSX VENTURE: SLK) dated July 27, September 15 and October 2, 2009 relating to the proposed merger with Imperial Metals Corporation ("Imperial") (TSX: III) by way of plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"), Selkirk will be holding a special meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders of Selkirk (the "Selkirk Shareholders") at 9:30 am (Pacific time) on Friday, October 30, 2009 at Suite 800 - 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia for the purpose of, among other things, considering and, if deemed advisable, passing a resolution approving the Arrangement, as more fully set forth in the notice of meeting and information circular of Selkirk dated as of September 16, 2009 (the "Notice of Meeting and Circular"), a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under Selkirk's profile.

As previously announced, if no election is made by a Selkirk Shareholder to receive common shares of Imperial ("Imperial Shares") by the time of the Meeting, such holder will be deemed to have elected to receive cash for their common shares of Selkirk ("Selkirk Shares") being $3.60 cash for every 30 Selkirk Shares held. For settlement reasons, Selkirk Shares purchased on or after October 27, 2009 would not be eligible to participate in the election to receive Imperial Shares in lieu of cash. Accordingly, Selkirk Shares were halted from trading at the opening of trading on October 27, 2009 pending the holding of and the results of the Meeting. If the Arrangement is approved at the Meeting, then Selkirk intends to apply to the Supreme Court of British Columbia on Monday, November 2, 2009 for a final order approving the Arrangement. If all required conditions are met (including receipt of all necessary approvals), then Selkirk intends to close the Arrangement effective on or about November 3, 2009 and the Selkirk Shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange shortly following closing of the Arrangement. In such event, Selkirk expects that the trading halt will remain in effect until the closing of the Arrangement.

Accompanying the Notice of Meeting and Circular and other materials that were mailed to Selkirk Shareholders of record as at the close of business on September 16, 2009 in connection with the Meeting is a form of Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and Election Form (the "Letter of Transmittal") which sets out the procedure to be followed by registered Selkirk Shareholders in depositing their Selkirk Shares. Selkirk Shareholders are encouraged to sign, date and return the Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the instructions set out therein and in the Notice of Meeting and Circular so that they may make the election to receive Imperial Shares or cash for their Selkirk Shares and, if the Arrangement is completed, payment for their Selkirk Shares may be sent to them as soon as possible following completion of the Arrangement. If a Selkirk Shareholder does not return a duly completed Letter of Transmittal before the time of the Meeting, such holder will be deemed to have elected to receive cash for their Selkirk Shares. A copy of the Letter of Transmittal is also available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under Selkirk's profile.
