CORRECTION FROM SOURCE: African Metals Reports Correction to Tabulated Inferred Mineral Resource Report for Luisha South Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/19/10 -- African Metals Corporation ('AFR') (TSX VENTURE: AFR)(FRANKFURT: OWW) correctly reported, on October 18, 2010, an initial resource estimate for the Luisha South Project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo of an inferred 5.8 million tonnes at 1.3%Cu for 75,400 tonnes of contained copper metal and 0.4% Co for 23,200 tonnes of contained cobalt metal. However, Table One of that news release, dated October 18, 2010, incorrectly states the metal contents as 'million tonnes'. The correct information for Table One is:
