Quincy Energy – Core Assets

Quincy's primary business is the acquisition and development of historically identified uranium projects in countries with favorable geology and mining environments. Quincy has had a working relationship with EMC since March of 2005. Quincy holds uranium projects in Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Oregon and Ontario. Quincy has also amassed an impressive portfolio of prospective gold properties in the United States.

The business combination will provide Energy Metals with access to Quincy’s portfolio of uranium interests, which include the following:

·	An option to earn up to 80% of an indicated resource estimate of 14.822 million pounds of uranium grading 0.1123% as specified in a NI 43-101 compliant report on the Hosta Butte property in New Mexico, as reported by Quincy Apr 28-06.

·	An option to earn up to 80% of an indicated resource estimate of 23.6 million pounds of uranium grading 0.0880% - 0.1048% as specified in a NI 43-101 compliant report on the Crownpoint property in New Mexico, as reported by Quincy Apr 10-06.

·	Direction and control of the Aurora uranium property in Oregon with a 43-101 compliant indicated resource estimate of 17.69 million tons at an average grade of 0.0518% eU3O8 or 18.3 million pounds of U3O8 using a 0.03% eU3O8 cutoff. Energy Metals plans to complete a scoping study of an open pit operation with leach extraction of the Aurora ore.

·	Direction and control of the Horse Creek property in Wyoming, drilled by Exxon and Union Carbide in the 1970s, containing known uranium mineralization adjacent to Energy Metals’ property in Natrona County. Quincy reported (NR, Nov 25-04) a historic resource of approximately 9 million pounds of uranium at a grade of 0.056% U3O8 with a drill-cut off of 0.04%.

·	Direction and control of the Rose property in Arizona, a uranium breccia pipe target. A drill program completed by Quincy early this year intersected 49.5 feet of 0.14% U3O8.

·	Other uranium assets include the Hanson Creek, Colorado property and several breccia pipes in Arizona, including the 4 ½ pipe.

·	CAD$4,900,000 in Quincy’s treasury.

Quincy Energy – Non-Core Assets

Quincy also possesses an attractive portfolio of precious metal assets. As Energy Metals’ mandate is strictly focused on the acquisition and development of uranium properties within the United States, it is currently undertaking a strategic review of these non-core assets with a view to maximizing shareholder value. These assets primarily include the Millers and Lantern Properties in Nevada, the Lewiston and Rattlesnake Hills Properties in Wyoming and the Quartz Mountain Project in Oregon. Other significant exploration properties include Silver Bow and Agate, both in Nevada.

Millers Property – This property presents a high grade Bonanza gold target beneath a large chalcedonic, pyrite-bearing vein that has been traced along surface for more than a mile. Rock chip sampling by

Quincy geologists in 2004 returned assays that ranged from <0.005 -4.65 ppm gold and averaged 0.30 ppm from 56 grab samples. Quincy initiated reverse circulation drilling on the property this spring and intends to continue with this program later this year.

Lantern Project – This project covers 1,423 acres (576 ha) of leased lands and unpatented mining claims in Pershing County, NV. The property is located approximately 10 miles south of the formerly producing Hycroft mine and about 2 miles south of the closed Hecla Rosebud Mine. Previous exploration at Lantern occurred in the 1980's and early 1990's by several mining and exploration companies including Homestake, Corona, and Santa Fe Pacific. Quincy has been investigating the presence of high-grade Bonanza veins in a similar setting to the Hycroft and Rosebud mines. Initial drilling by Quincy earlier this winter in the SP Ridge area intersected 137.24 opt Ag over 5 feet and 14.64 opt Ag over 10 feet within an area of known silver enrichment and a follow up drilling program is being planned for later this year.

Rattlesnake Hills - Quincy has contracted Gradient Geophysics Inc. of Missoula, MT to conduct an Induced Polarization (IP) survey over a portion of the property this summer and has initiated permitting for a summer 2007 drilling program. The target is large tonnage-low grade gold mineralization associated with a swarm of alkalic intrusive stocks and plugs. Previous drilling on one of these targets by Newmont Exploration Inc. yielded highly encouraging gold assays including 0.037 opt over 620 feet and 0.029 opt over 195 feet from two different drill holes.

Lewiston - Gradient Geophysics is currently completing a ground magnetics and IP survey over this property, which covers portions of an Archean auriferous shear zone. At Quincy’s Ruby (Wolf mine) claims, surface grab sampling returned up to 0.68 opt Au. The potential of this property is encouraged by the thin veneer (less than a few feet) of eluvial debris covering much of the shear zone.

Quartz Mountain Property – This project is located in Lake County, Oregon, approximately 50 kilometers west-northwest of the town of Lakeview. Quincy has spent approximately $1 million dollars of a $1.5 million work commitment to earn a 50% interest in the property. The property is underlain by volcanic-hosted, epithermal gold mineralization with previous work focused on gold mineralization amenable to open pit mining and little or no attention given to high-grade feeder structures. These feeder veins have been intersected in previous drilling with intercepts of more than 1.0 ounce per ton gold (opt) reported. Further options for exploration are currently under review.

Energy Metals Corporation

Energy Metals Corporation is a Canadian listed company involved in developing resources to power the 21st century. The Company has adopted a corporate strategy to focus on the acquisition and development of uranium assets in politically favorable and mining-friendly jurisdictions within the United States to take advantage of the continuing growth in the U.S. and worldwide of demand for electrical energy. This increasing consumption is occurring at a time when uranium mine supplies are dwindling and inventories are being depleted.

The Company is targeting advanced uranium prospective properties in Wyoming, Texas and New Mexico that are amenable to ISL (in-situ leaching). This form of uranium mining was pioneered in Texas and Wyoming. It utilizes water wells and oxygen-fortified groundwater to mine the uranium in place. Energy Metals Corporation is also actively advancing other conventional mining and ISL opportunities for uranium properties in the States of Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota and Arizona.
