Stronghold Metals Inc. ('the Company'), is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement (the 'Consulting Agreement'), with First Canadian Capital Corp. ('First Canadian'). First Canadian will provide strategic marketing and investor relations services to the Company. The Consulting Agreement is for a term of one year, subject to extension, unless terminated earlier by the parties in accordance with the terms of the Consulting Agreement.

Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Company grants First Canadian an option package consisting of a total 350,000 options exercisable at incremental prices and paying a monthly fee. The Company has granted First Canadian options (the 'Options') of the Company to acquire 150,000 shares at a price of $0.34 per share, 80,000 shares at $0.45 per share and 120,000 shares at $.60 per share.

Mr. Ioannis (Yannis) Tsitos, Stronghold's President and Chief Executive Officer stated: 'We are very pleased to retain First Canadian as our investor relations consultants, especially as they are known to be very selective in their engagements. We have completed 103 of the 150 diamond drill Holes in the current program at Eagle Mountain and have so far only announced the assay results from 32 of those holes. We anticipate that there will be a steady series of announcements over the coming months as the analytical results become available and our program matures with the addition of further technical studies, such as metallurgical tests and environmental studies in early 2012. First Canadian will ensure that those results reach a wide and diverse audience.'
