Raytec Metals Corp. Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan
December 29, 2008, Vancouver, BC – Raytec Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V – RAY) reports that its Board of Directors has implemented a Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement (the "Rights Plan").

The Rights Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors to ensure the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over offer for the Corporation, and to provide the Board of Directors and shareholders with additional time to fully consider any unsolicited take-over bid. The Rights Plan will also provide the Board of Directors more time to pursue, if appropriate, other alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The Rights Plan is not designed to prevent takeover bids that treat Raytec shareholders fairly.

Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Plan, any bid that meets certain criteria intended to protect the interests of all shareholders is deemed to be a permitted bid. A permitted bid must be made by way of a takeover bid circular prepared in compliance with applicable securities laws and, in addition to certain other conditions, must remain open for 75 days. In the event a takeover bid does not meet the permitted bid requirements of the Rights Plan, the rights issued under the plan will entitle shareholders, other than any shareholder or shareholders involved in the takeover bid, to purchase additional common shares of Raytec at a significant discount to the market price of the common shares at that time.

The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to, or in anticipation of, any specific takeover bid or proposal to acquire control of the Company, and is subject to acceptance by the TSX.V.
