Vancouver, BC -- April 8, 2009 -- EMC Metals Corp. (EMC) and Golden Predator Royalty & Development Corp. (GPD) wish to notify shareholders eligible to participate in the recent spin-off of GPD, that the deadline for exercising share purchase rights of GPD (the "Rights") has been extended to April 15, 2009. The extension provides additional time to accommodate ongoing exercises by holders of the Rights, as well as to provide additional time for former Golden Predator Mines Inc. shareholders to exchange their old certificates for new EMC and GPD certificates. The Rights were previously extended from March 27, 2009 to April 7, 2009. Former registered Golden Predator Mines Inc. shareholders are reminded to submit their old share certificate to Olympia Trust Company along with a completed Letter of Transmittal in order to receive their new EMC and GPD certificates.

To date, approximately 7,750,000 Rights have been exercised for total proceeds of $3,875,000. GPD's Chairman and CEO, Bill Sheriff, has exercised 875,282 Rights for a total investment of $437,641. As a result of the exercise of his Rights, Mr. Sheriff now directly and indirectly owns a total of 1,750,564 shares of GPD.

Each Right is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.50 to acquire one common share of GPD and one-half of a share purchase warrant of GPD (a "Rights Warrant"). Each whole Rights Warrant may be exercised for a period of one year from the date GPD is listed on a Canadian stock exchange to acquire one additional share at exercise prices of $0.60 per share for the first 3 months from the listing date, and thereafter at $0.65, $0.75 and $0.90 per share for each subsequent 3 month period respectively, subject to a maximum exercise period expiring September 6, 2010.
