EMC Files Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment and Updated Resource Estimate for the Springer Tungsten Mine on SEDAR

Reno, Nevada -- October 3, 2012 -- EMC Metals Corp. (the "Company" or "EMC") (TSX: EMC)previously announced the receipt of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment, including both economics and an updated resource estimate on the Company's 100%-owned Springer Tungsten Mine project, located in Imlay, Nevada. This NI 43-101compliant Technical Report, titled "Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Springer Tungsten Mine, Pershing County, Nevada, USA", (the "PEA"), was filed on SEDAR yesterday (October 2, 2012) and is now available for public review (www.sedar.com). 

A summary discussion of economic and technical results is contained in our previous new release dated September 22, 2012, and may be obtained on the EMC website at www.emcmetals.com. A complete copy of the PEA is also available on the website. 

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered to be too speculative, geologically, to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as a mineral reserve and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic analysis will be realized.

Mr. George Putnam, CEO of EMC Metals comments:

"Filing the PEA on SEDAR allows public review of our detailed project restart plans, and keeps us on track to bring the Springer Tungsten Mine back into production in late 2013."

About EMC Metals

EMC owns a 100% interest in the Springer tungsten mine in Nevada, USA. Strong tungsten prices and tight supply conditions, combined with the refurbished mill and existing tungsten resource on the property, support the strategy to seek a near term restart of the Springer facility. EMC also owns a 100% interest in the Carlin Vanadium property near Carlin, Nevada. Both properties have current NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates, available on the Company website and on SEDAR. 

On February 29th, 2012, EMC announced that its earn-in on the Nyngan Scandium Project was rejected by our JV partner, Jervois Mining Limited. We maintain that all project earn-in conditions outlined under the JV Agreement have been met, and we intend to take all lawful steps to secure our proprietary rights to a 50% joint venture interest.
