Georgetown Capital Corp.

Announces Option Agreement for Qualifying Transaction

Vancouver, British Columbia – October 7, 2010 – Georgetown Capital Corp. (TSX-V:GET.P, “Georgetown” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Full Metal Minerals USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Full Metal Minerals Ltd. (“Full Metal”) (TSX-V:FMM), dated October 6, 2010 which grants the Company’s Alaskan subsidiary an exclusive right to acquire a 60% undivided beneficial interest in the Tanacross mineral property in Alaska (the “Tanacross Property”) (the “Proposed Transaction”). Upon Georgetown earning its 60% interest, the parties will form a joint venture whereby each party must proportionately contribute to future programs or be diluted to a net profits interest.

Georgetown is a “capital pool company” under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and the Proposed Transaction with Full Metal will constitute the Company’s “Qualifying Transaction” in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, Georgetown expects to be listed as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer pursuant to the minimum listing requirements of the Exchange.

The Qualifying Transaction is not considered to be a Non-Arms Length Transaction under the policies of the Exchange; accordingly, approval of the Proposed Transaction by Georgetown’s shareholders will not be required.

The Property 

The 13,079 hectare Tanacross Property is comprised of multiple claim groups copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry systems in east-central Alaska. During 2007 to 2009, Full Metal and BHP spent $750,000 jointly to explore these targets using airborne geophysics, ground-based IP surveys, soil sampling grids and geological mapping. This work identified multiple drill targets that Georgetown and Full Metal will drill test during the 2011 season.

Terms of the Proposed Transaction 

Pursuant to the Agreement, Full Metal will grant an exclusive option to earn a 60% undivided beneficial interest in the Property by incurring cumulative expenditures of US$4,000,000, Georgetown issuing the common shares in its capital to Full Metal and by paying Full Metal the cash amounts as provided in the table below:

Georgetown may accelerate the above payments at anytime and thereby exercise the option early. If approval is not obtained within 90 days of signing either party may thereupon terminate this agreement on 10 days written and unless the Exchange is obtained within such 10 days this agreement shall lapse and the initial cash payment of US$25,000 shall be forfeited.

The Financing 

Georgetown intends to complete an equity financing to raise up to CDN$1,500,000 (the “Private Placement”) concurrent with the closing of the Proposed Transaction by way of a non-brokered private placement at an intended price of CDN $0.55 per share. Georgetown may pay finder’s fees on the Private Placement in accordance with the policies of the Exchange, and applicable securities laws. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund the acquisition of the Option and other costs associated with the Qualifying Transaction, the work program recommended on the Tanacross Property, maintenance of the Tanacross Property and to provide general working capital.
