GPM Metals Inc. and Lago Dourado Minerals Ltd. Respond to Goldeye Explorations Limited

April 23, 2016 (Toronto, Ontario): GPM Metals Inc. (“GPM”) (TSXV:GPM) and Lago Dourado Minerals Ltd. (“Lago”) (TSXV:LDM) wish to respond to an announcement made by Goldeye Explorations Limited (“Goldeye”) on April 22, 2016 regarding 1,412 claim units known as the “East Block” (the “Additional Interest”) which were staked by GPM surrounding the property known as the Weebigee Project. The Weebigee Project is the subject of an option agreement between GPM and Goldeye (the “Option Agreement”), the terms of which are outlined in a press release of GPM dated April 15, 2015 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and both the Weebigee Project and Additional Interest are the subject of the previously announced proposed sale from GPM to Lago as disclosed in a joint press release of such parties dated March 29, 2016 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com (the “Proposed Sale”).

Goldeye has contended that the Additional Interest has become part of the property comprising the Weebigee Project and has become subject to a 50/50 joint venture between GPM and Goldeye, all pursuant to the Option Agreement. As Goldeye did not make timely payment to GPM of its pro rata share of the costs of acquiring the Additional Interest as required, GPM disagrees with any such assertion that Goldeye has acquired, or has the right to acquire, any rights or interest in the Additional Interest.

GPM and Lago further confirm that they are proceeding with the Proposed Sale as previously announced and will provide further updates in due course.

GPM Metals announces the discovery of significant Zinc anomalies at the Pasco Project, Peru

TORONTO, April 13, 2016 : GPM Metals Inc. (TSXV: GPM) (the “Company” or “GPM”) is pleased to announce an exploration update and the initial sampling results of the Pasco Project, Department of Pasco, Peru.

The 100% owned Pasco claims (6,300 hectares) are located in the Central Peruvian Zinc belt approximately 30 Km NE of the Cerro de Pasco Mine and 35km N of the Votorantim / Pan American owned Shalipayco discovery.

Mineralisation is hosted within a 5km by 500m zone of dolomitized limestones of the prolific Pucara Formation, at the contact with the Mitu Formation, within a regional scale anticline.  Structurally, on a district scale, the mineralisation is located at the intersection of a North South trending basement / basin margin structure and the North East oriented Chancay – Cerro de Pasco Megafracture which cuts and offsets the Coastal Batholith, and forced igneous migration eastwards during the Cenozoic era.

The style of mineralisation is carbonate replacement, though structurally hosted Au and Cu / Au mineralisation in adjacent claims suggests potential for later overprints of intrusive related mineralisation.

A systematic soil grid of 2,564 samples covering a 3km by 4.5km area was has been completed. XRF analysis of the samples has defined a 4.25km by 1 km trend anomalous in Silver (20ppm to 152ppm), Lead (100ppm to 3.97%) and Zinc (1000ppm to 2.7%). Two zones highly anomalous in lead and zinc have been delineated. The southern anomaly is currently 1.2km by 500m and open to the south and the northern anomaly is 500m by 500m.

Grab samples containing up to 13.3% Zinc, 19.15% Lead and 466ppm Silver have been collected from relatively fresh outcrops within the system. 130 five meter long channel rock chip samples have also been collected. In the southern anomaly, samples of strongly weathered and leached outcrop are generally anomalous in Lead and Silver, with 75m @ 9.4ppm Silver and 4075ppm Lead in Trench 1 being the best result to date.

Location and sampling results are available at the Company web site link / Projects – Peru

http://gpmmetals.com/node/49

Asesores y Consultores Mineros S.A. have been engaged to complete an ESIA study which will take a minimum of 150 days to complete and be approved by the Environmental Studies General Directorate, Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines as a prelude to a drill program.

 

Sampling and Assay methodology: 

Soil samples were taken on a grid of 50 by 50 meters. The soil samples were taken from the B horizon at 25 to 30 cm depth from the surface. The weight of each sample was 2-3 kilograms.   The soil samples were analyzed using XRF (The DELTA Handheld XRF model DCC-6000) on site.

Rock Chip samples were taken in continuous channels of 30 to 75 meters long. Individual samples were 5m in length.  An electric hammer was used for rock sampling.  The weight of each sample was 3.5-4.5 kilograms. Rock samples were assayed at ALS Chemex Lab in Lima Peru using their ME-ICP61 (33 Elements four acid ICP-AES) method.

GPM Metals Inc. and Lago Dourado Minerals Ltd Announce Property Sale

Toronto, Ontario, March 29, 2016 – Lago Dourado Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:LDM) (“Lago”) and GPM Metals Inc. (TSXV:GPM) (“GPM”) are pleased to announce that they have agreed upon terms of the proposed acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by Lago from GPM of GPM’s interests in the Sandy Lake district, Northwestern Ontario. These interests include a 100% interest in 1400 contiguous claim units known as the “East Block” as well as GPM’s right to earn up to a 70% interest in the Weebigee Project, also known as the “Northwest” claim block (collectively, the “Project”).

The Weebigee Project is a joint venture between GPM and Goldeye Explorations Ltd (TSXV:GGY) (“Goldeye”), the terms of which are outlined in a press release of GPM dated April 15, 2015 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

GPM has agreed to sell its interests in consideration of the issuance of 40,000,000 common shares of Lago (the “Consideration Shares”). It is a condition to the completion of the Acquisition that GPM shall effect a distribution of the Consideration Shares to its shareholders immediately following the closing of the Acquisition (the “Share Distribution”). Following the closing of the Acquisition, the board of directors of Lago shall be increased to consist of five (5) directors, three (3) of which shall be nominees of Lago and two (2) of which shall be nominees of GPM. In addition, it is proposed that Lago change its name to Sandy Lake Gold Inc.

The Project consists of approximately 28,000 hectares of contiguous exploration rights and covers more than 50 km of strike length of the Sandy Lake greenstone belt. The Sandy Lake greenstone belt is located on the same geological terrain as Goldcorp Inc.’s world class Musselwhite Mine, however the Sandy Lake greenstone belt remains significantly under explored.  An aggregate of approximately 3,000 meters of historical exploration drilling had been conducted between 1932 and 1988.  Goldeye completed an exploration agreement with Sandy Lake First Nation (“SLFN”) in 2013 and conducted a further 2,200 meter shallow drill program reporting significant Au results (see Goldeye’s press release dated April 9, 2014, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com). Utilizing both the economic and geological models of the Musselwhite Mine, the primary exploration target is a 50 km segment of a regional scale banded iron formation (BIF).  Patrick Sheridan, Chief Executive Officer of GPM, states “This transaction creates a new entity with a 100% focus on this exciting exploration project. I am sure that Lago will continue to build upon the existing relations with the SLFN community and other members of the 1910 Ontario Treaty No.5. This coveted relationship founded on the basis of respect, dialogue and cooperation is a vital asset to the success of this project.”

Forbes Gemmell, Chief Executive Officer of Lago states “This purchase allows existing shareholders of Lago to participate in the exploration of this exciting gold district. We look forward to working with Goldeye and other stakeholders to build upon the strong community relationships.”

Further Particulars of the Acquisition

Concurrently with the Acquisition, Lago will complete a private placement to raise minimum gross proceeds of Cdn$1,000,000, of which a minimum of Cdn$750,000 will be raised pursuant to the sale of “flow-through” securities and a minimum of Cdn$250,000 will be raised pursuant to the sale of non-“flow-through” securities (the “Financing”), upon terms yet to be determined.

The Acquisition will be a “non-arm’s length” transaction between the parties within the meaning of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) policies and may be subject to a vote of disinterested shareholders due to the fact that (i) Mr. Daniel Noone serves as a director of both Lago and GPM (Mr. Noone owns 102,300 common shares of Lago representing 1.09% of common shares outstanding and owns 1,642,000 common shares of GPM representing 2.67% of common shares outstanding); and (ii) Rosseau Asset Management Ltd. (“Rosseau”) is a significant shareholder of both companies (Rosseau owns 2,374,674 common shares of Lago representing 25.19% of common shares outstanding and owns 9,500,000 common shares of GPM representing 15.44% of common shares outstanding).  Accordingly, Lago will be required to obtain shareholder approval of the Acquisition in accordance with the regulations of the TSXV.  In addition, GPM will be required to obtain shareholder approval of the Share Distribution, and may also be required to obtain shareholder approval of the Acquisition if required by the TSXV.  The boards of directors of each of Lago and GPM formed special committees comprised entirely of independent directors in order to consider and make recommendations with respect to the proposed Acquisition.

The Acquisition remains subject to various conditions including the execution of a definitive agreement, receipt of all requisite shareholder, third party and regulatory approvals (including, without limitation, the approval of the TSXV), and the receipt of an independent technical report in respect of the Project in a form acceptable to the TSXV.

GPM METALS INC. UPDATES PROGRESS AT THE WEEBIGEE PROJECT, SANDY LAKE, ONTARIO

Toronto, Canada, March 17, 2016 – GPM Metals Inc. (TSXV:GPM) (“GPM”) and Goldeye Explorations Limited (TSXV:GGY) (“Goldeye”) are pleased to announce that they have received final interpretation reports on the Weebigee Project airborne VTEM/Horizontal Gradient Magnetics Survey (“airborne survey”).  Thirty conductors/areas of interest were identified as moderate to high priority targets for gold or base metal mineralization.  These targets include extensions of known gold and base metal showings, as well as new conductive trends on recently staked claims.  A 2016 field program of prospecting, mapping, powerstripping, and ground geophysics will be used to prioritize the target areas for eventual drill testing.

GPM is the operator of the Weebigee Project.

The airborne survey, along with the 2015 staking and regional compilation programs, have begun to move Weebigee toward a much larger, greenstone belt scale, project.  This more comprehensive approach by GPM recognizes that the 2014 high-grade gold drill intersections (Knoll, Bernadette, and RvG4 zones) represent type targets that have the potential to occur throughout the Sandy Lake greenstone belt.  GPM’s approach also recognizes the base metal potential of the south portion of the belt (Sandborn Bay area).

BLOCK F

The Weebigee project now covers a 35 km long gold bearing trend.  The western portion of this trend was covered by Block F of the airborne survey.  Numerous historic gold showings are documented along this trend, hosted within a distinctive sequence of rock units dominated by iron formation and quartz-rich felsic tuff.  The Block F airborne survey has revealed that a number of iron formation/sediment horizons occur within the Northwest Arm volcanic package.  Winter 2014 drilling of gold showings in the stratigraphy immediately above the southern-most iron formation/sediment horizon returned significant intersections (12.86 g/t Au over 6.85 metres, 12.45 g/t over 3.5 metres, 23.25 g/t over 3.97 metres).  Detailed follow-up of the airborne survey results will target breaks in these iron formation/sediment magnetic and conductive trends that may represent gold bearing deformation/hydrothermal events.

BLOCK B

South of the gold trend, in the Sandborn Bay area, the geological environment appears favourable for VHMS (Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide) deposits.  This area was covered by the Block B portion of the airborne survey.  Known showings include Cu (up to 3%), Zn (up to 4.5%), and Ag (up to 352 g/t) values associated with cherty felsic tuffs, cordierite alteration (sediments) and talc-antigorite alteration (ultramafics).  Numerous conductors and conductive trends were outlined by the Block B airborne survey, some of which are coincident to Cu-Zn-Ag bearing cherty tuff horizons.  Several new conductive trends proximal to a felsic intrusion (potential volcanic centre) have also been outlined by the airborne survey.  Government mapping shows very little outcrop exposure along these new conductive trends.

The airborne survey consisted of 1274.5 km of horizontal gradiometer and VTEM data collected over two blocks, B and F, on the western part of the Sandy Lake greenstone belt.  The heli-based survey was flown by Geotech Ltd., of Aurora, Ontario, in September 2015.  Line separation was 200 metres with a mean sensor altitude of 45 metres.  Third party consultants interpreting the data reported that the EM and magnetic configurations of the system were well suited for the geological environment at Sandy Lake and that data was of good quality.

GPM and Goldeye wish to thank the First Nation communities of Sandy Lake and Keewaywin for their co-operation and logistical support of the ongoing mineral exploration programs.

About Weebigee

Weebigee is a gold and base metals project located near Sandy Lake in Northwestern Ontario.  The Project is approximately 225 km north of Red Lake, one of the world’s most prolific gold camps, and 200 km west of Goldcorp’s world-class Musselwhite mine.  The Project comprises a main block of 363 claim units (~6000 ha.) held 100% by Goldeye subject to an option agreement with GPM and an additional 1421 claim units (~22,000 ha.) recently staked by GPM, in the highly prospective and underexplored Sandy Lake greenstone belt.  Certain of the claims are subject to a 1% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty.  Weebigee lies within the traditional territory of Sandy Lake First Nation (“SLFN”) with whom Goldeye signed a comprehensive Exploration Agreement in 2013.

About GPM Metals Inc.

GPM focuses on acquiring and exploring district scale exploration properties.  Currently the two main projects are the Companies Walker Gossan Project, NT, Australia; and the Weebigee Gold Project in Sandy Lake, Ontario, Canada.

The company treasury is well funded going forward and has a strong shareholder base.  Management and insiders hold approximately 30% of outstanding shares.

Although GPM believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and/or information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements as GPM can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

The forward-looking information and statements included in this news release are not guarantees of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon. Such information and/or statements, including the assumptions made in respect thereof, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and/or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information and/or statements including, without limitation: risks associated with the uncertainty of exploration results and estimates, currency fluctuations, the uncertainty of conducting operations under a foreign regime, exploration risk, the uncertainty of obtaining all applicable regulatory approvals, the availability of labour and/or equipment, the fluctuating prices of commodities, the availability of financing and GPM’s dependence on its management personnel, other participants in the property areas and/or certain other risks detailed from time-to-time in GPM’s public disclosure documents, (including, without limitation, those risks identified in this news release and GPM’s current management’s discussion and analysis). Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as at the date of this news release and the Company does not undertake any obligations to publicly update and/or revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of additional information, future events and/or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
