INV Metals Announces Sale of Lansdowne Property

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 16, 2011) - INV Metals Inc. ("INV Metals" or the "Company") (TSX:INV) is pleased to announce the sale of its Lansdowne House property ("Lansdowne"), located in northwestern Ontario, to Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. ("Anglo Swiss"). Anglo Swiss is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") trading under the symbol ASW.

In exchange for its 100% interest in the Lansdowne property, INV Metals will receive common shares of Anglo Swiss equal to $1,446,360. The number of common shares to be issued will be determined by the volume weighted average price of the common shares over a five day trading period ending on the date that is two business days prior to the closing date of the transaction. The Company will also retain a 1% net smelter return royalty on those claims not already subject to a royalty. INV Metals believes the exploration potential of the Lansdowne property for nickel and precious metals is extensive, however, the property was deemed non-core to INV Metals. Subject to TSXV approval and the satisfaction of other conditions of closing, the transaction is expected to close on or about June 30, 2011.

Mr. Robert Bell, CEO, stated, "We are pleased to partner with Anglo Swiss, who, with a proven management team and board of directors, plan to invest in the exploration of the Lansdowne property. The shareholders of INV Metals will benefit from the upside of any exploration success at Lansdowne through INV Metals' equity interest in Anglo Swiss, enabling the Company to remain focused on its primary assets in Brazil and Namibia."
