Raytec Acquires Additional Large Tonnage Iron Ore Property

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan 15 (MARKET WIRE) --
Raytec Metals Corp. (the "Company") (TSX-V: RAY) (FRANKFURT: XZT) is
pleased to announce that, subject to regulatory approval, it has signed an
agreement
to purchase a 100% interest in the TB3012585 group mineral claims, known as
the Gunflint property, located in Jean Township, within the Thunder Bay
Mining District, Ontario.

The Gunflint property consist of 16 claim units totalling approximately
640acres, and is located in close proximity to both existing roads and the city
of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Previous work on the property includes diamond
drilling
performed in the 1950s and 1960s, and more recently, surface sampling.
Information
provided to Raytec by the vendor includes reference to a report filed with the
Ontario Department of Mines, Mineral Circular No. 11 on Iron Deposits of
Ontario,
authored by R.S. Shklanka, which references an estimated deposit of 270 million
tons averaging 26.29% Fe (Iron). The same report also indicates samples from
surface with 34.1% and 33.9% Fe.

It is important to note that these reports, being historic in nature, cannot
be
verified by the Company, do not comply with modern reporting standards (NI
43-101),
and therefore should not be relied upon.

Terms of the acquisition include the payment to the vendors of $250,000 with
$10,000 due upon signing, and the balance payable in equal instalments prior to
January 1, 2012, and the issuance of 300,000 shares with 50,000 issuable on TSX
Venture Exchange approval, and the balance payable in equal instalments prior
to January 1, 2013. The agreement is subject to a 3% Net Smelter Royalty
("NSR"), of which 2% can be purchased from the vendor, leaving the vendor with a
1% NSR. A finders fee will be payable on this acquisition in accordance with
TSX Venture Exchange policy.

"We are very excited about this project. Not only does this involve a
large tonnage historic resource at a time of near record prices for Iron Ore,
but it carries the added benefit of being very close to deep-water port
facilities
at Thunder Bay which should assist greatly in determining the economic viability
of
the project," according to Brian Thurston, Raytec President.

The Company intends to commence a work program as soon as possible in
orderto verify sample data, prepare for a winter/spring drill program, and to
complete a NI43-101 compliant report.

On behalf of the Board,

RAYTEC METALS CORP.
