EMC is a Canadian listed company involved in developing resources to power the 21st century. EMC 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.

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

Since March of 2005, Quincy and EMC have had a working relationship respecting the acquisition, exploration, development, and mining of uranium mineral deposits.  William Sheriff, a director and shareholder of Quincy is also a director, officer and shareholder of EMC.  Mr. Sheriff has agreed with Energy Metals to pool the Energy Metals shares which he will receive upon closing of the Proposed Transaction for a period of 18 months.

The ultimate structure of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to review of applicable tax, accounting, corporate and securities law issues. Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of

conditions, including, but not limited to, completion of due diligence, entering into of formal agreements, and receipt of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals. In addition, completion of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to termination in the event of any material adverse change in either EMC’s or Quincy’s operations, financial condition, prospects or permits. Should the Board of Quincy determine that a superior proposal has been made, and they recommend that proposal to Quincy’s shareholders, Quincy has agreed to pay EMC a break fee equal to 4% of the transaction value.  There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.   EMC has paid to Quincy USD$500,000 as a non-refundable deposit to be forfeit to Quincy if EMC does not proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Dan Farrell, Chairman & CEO said: “The business combination will expand upon the existing relationship between Quincy and Energy Metals and brings to bear collaborative synergies in expertise, land packages and financial resources which will position our combined companies to become a major player in the marketplace.”

Quincy has agreed to re-price 1,475,000 of the 1,675,000 options announced on October 25, 2005 from CAD $0.50 to CAD $0.75.  Quincy has also entered into a Consulting Contract with Mac Balkam of Toronto, Ontario pursuant to which Mr. Balkam has agreed to provide various consulting services (including investor relations consulting services) to Quincy.   Mr. Balkam was a registered investment advisor with several major Toronto brokerages from 1981 through 2004.  Quincy has agreed to pay Mr. Balkam CAD $5,000 per month and issue options to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock at a price of CAD $0.50 per share, which options were previously announced on October 25, 2005.
