Breaking News: China Armco Metals, Inc. (OTCBB: CNAM) reports record
financial results for the Second Quarter and first six months of 2009. The
company, a distributor of imported metal ore with plans to launch a new
state of the art scrap metal recycling facility in China, issued a press
release this morning announcing record second quarter financial results for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009. According to the release, financial
highlights included:

Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased by 71.2% to
$22.5 million compared to revenue of $13.01 million in the second quarter
ended June 30, 2008. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to
increased sales from its metals distribution business in China as demand
for metal ore rose significantly. Net income for the second quarter of 2009
was $3.37 million compared to $1.85 million in the second quarter of 2008.
This increase was attributable to an improving pricing environment in metal
ore in China coupled with the positive effects of China's November 2008
economic stimulus package. On a diluted basis, earnings per share for the
second quarter of 2009 were $0.33 on 10.1 million common shares outstanding
compared to $0.24 in the second quarter of 2008 on 2.5 million fewer
shares.

The press release goes on to state, the strong overall performance for the
first six months of 2009 was largely driven by significant growth in our
metals distribution business leading to record sales of $27.9 million for
the first six months of 2009 compared to $22.79 million for the same period
in 2008. Gross Profit for the first six months of 2009 was $4.63 million
compared to $2.1 million for the first 6 months of 2008 period and net
income was $3.5 million compared to $2.5 million which included a one-time
gain of $1.2 million from a contract termination. On a diluted basis,
earnings per share for the first six months of 2008 were $0.34 on 10.1
million common shares outstanding as compared to $0.38 in the same period
in 2008 on 2.5 million fewer shares.

At June 30, 2009, total assets were $38.13 million, an increase of over 30%
from the $28.82 million at December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009 total
current assets reached $25.52 million and working capital was approximately
$6.15 million. Shareholder equity reached $18.76 million with 10.1 million
common shares outstanding up from $15.29 million at December 31, 2009.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Mr. Kexuan Yao, CEO and Chairman
of China Armco Metals, Inc., stated, "We are extremely pleased with the
strong performance of our operations in the first half of 2009. Our sales
efforts in the second quarter benefited from a strong rebound in several
key metal markets. We believe this momentum will continue in the coming
quarters and we intend to make every effort to improve our operating
results further. We believe our expanded credit lines, coupled with the
anticipated launch of our scrap metal recycling facility later this year
places the company in the strongest financial position in its history and
poised for an extended period of exceptional growth for the benefit of our
shareholders."

This week, China Armco Metals also reported that it received a Back to Back
secured Letter of Credit from DBS Bank Ltd. ("DBS") on April 22, 2009 for
up to $12 million to be used to finance purchases of various metal ores.
DBS is one of the largest financial services groups in Asia, and its "AA-"
and "Aa1" credit ratings are among the highest in the Asia-Pacific region.

Kexuan Yao, Chairman and CEO of China Armco Metals, Inc., commented "We are
extremely pleased to have secured this $12 million credit facility. We see
continued evidence that the Chinese economy is on the road to recovery and
there has been an increasing demand for commodities coupled with a rising
price environment. We believe this additional financial flexibility will
enable us to opportunistically grow our distribution business and
significantly improve our overall operating results."

The stock closed yesterday at $1.55 cents a share.
