INV Metals Announces Drill Results at Okohongo Deposit, Namibia

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 26, 2011) - INV Metals Inc. ("INV Metals" or the "Company") (TSX:INV) announces the results of the 2011 drill program at the Okohongo copper-silver deposit ("Okohongo"), located within the Kaoko property in northwest Namibia.

Mr. Robert Bell, CEO, stated, "The 2011 drill program at Okohongo has identified a satellite lens to the north of the main deposit. With the new discoveries at the Omatapati and Okozonduno targets, INV Metals continues to build upon its stated objective of discovering multiple copper-silver deposits. We have demonstrated the extensive Kaoko property remains prospective and maintain our belief that the area has the potential to host multiple deposits which may ultimately culminate in a central processing facility."

The 2011 drill program at the Okohongo deposit totalled approximately 5,667 m of reverse circulation and 972 m of diamond drilling to test various geophysical anomalies, mineralization to the north of the main Okohongo deposit and to further test the deposit down dip. INV Metals believes the 2011 drill program at Okohongo modestly expanded the current inferred resource of 10.2 million tonnes grading 1.12% copper and 17.75 g/t silver, at a 0.3% copper cut-off grade and will further assess the impact on the resource. The mineralized results of the drill program are reported below and are interpreted to be roughly equivalent to true widths.

The area to the north of the main deposit returned significant copper mineralization of 27 m grading 0.85% copper and 28.5 g/t silver, including 14 m grading 1.48% copper and 51.1 g/t silver. The results of the holes surrounding the area to the north of the deposit are listed below.

The following reverse circulation and diamond drill program was performed within the main deposit to undercut the known mineralization.

INV Metals entered into agreements with a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited which provide INV Metals the right to acquire an initial 50% interest in the extensive Kaoko property, located in northwest Namibia (see INV Metals' press release dated August 4, 2009).
