NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired - Feb. 21, 2014) - Donner Metals Ltd. ("Donner" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DON) (FRANKFURT:D4M), announces that it closed today the second and final tranche of the oversubscribed non-brokered private placement announced on February 3, 2014 for aggregate gross proceeds of $249,276 to the Company. The Company previously announced on February 14, 2014 it had closed the first tranche of the private placement for gross proceeds of $786,200 to the Company. The combined gross proceeds from the first and second tranches of the private placement amount to an aggregate of $1,035,476. The funds of the second tranche of the private placement have been raised through the issuance of 2,077,300 units of the Company at a price of $0.12 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.16 per common share until February 21, 2016. The securities of the Company issued pursuant to the second tranche of the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring June 22, 2014.

In connection with the private placement, the Company has agreed to pay to certain finders a finder's fee of up to 8% in cash, representing an aggregate amount of $37,844, and an 8% finder's option representing an aggregate of 56,800 options. Each option is non-transferable and exercisable for one unit at a price of $0.12 per unit until February 14, 2015. Each underlying warrant for each option will be non-transferable.

The aggregate proceeds from the sale of the units for the private placement will be used for the advancement of the Valmond gold property in Quebec and for general working capital purposes, including, without limitation, to explore a roll-up strategy.

Three insiders of the company participated in the private placement. Kerry Sparkes, a director of Donner, subscribed for 100,000 units for an aggregate purchase price of $12,000, resulting in aggregate holdings of 100,000 common shares, which represents approximately 0.72% of the currently outstanding common shares of the Company, and 100,000 common share purchase warrants. Assuming the full exercise of his common share purchase warrants and 10,000 options, Mr. Sparkes would be holding approximately 1.50% of the then outstanding common shares of the Company. Normand Champigny, President and Chief Executive Officer of Donner, subscribed for 208,333 units for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, resulting in aggregate holdings of 211,233 common shares, which represents approximately 1.53% of the currently outstanding common shares of the Company, and 208,333 common share purchase warrants, the full exercise of which would result in Normand Champigny holding approximately 2.98% of the then outstanding common shares of the Company. David A. Johnson, director of Donner, subscribed for 25,000 units for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000, resulting in aggregate holdings of 25,000 common shares, which represents approximately 0.18% of the currently outstanding common shares of the Company, and 25,000 common share purchase warrants, the full exercise of which would result in David A. Johnson holding approximately 0.36% of the then outstanding common shares of the Company.

The ownership percentages of each of the two new insiders of the Company resulting from the closing of the first tranche of the private placement announced on February 14, 2014, Mr. Leo Berezan and Delaware Street Capital Master Fund, LP ("Delaware Street"), was reduced as a result of the second tranche of the private placement. Neither Mr. Berezan nor Delaware Street participated in the second tranche of the private placement.

Mr. Berezan who acquired 2,000,000 units on February 14, 2014 currently holds 2,000,000 common shares, representing approximately 14.39% of the currently outstanding common shares, and 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants, the full exercise of which would result in Mr. Berezan holding approximately 25.16% based on the Company's currently outstanding common shares. His warrant certificate provides for a "warrant stopper" clause which restricts Mr. Berezan from acquiring more than 19.99% of the then outstanding shares, subject to certain exceptions and compliance with applicable securities laws. He does not have any present intention to acquire additional ownership of, or control over, additional securities of Donner. It is the intention of Mr. Berezan to evaluate its investment in Donner on a continuing basis and such holdings may be increased or decreased in the future.
