GPM Metals Inc. Announces Share Consolidation

Toronto – July 16, 2015 – GPM Metals Inc. (TSXV:GPM) (the “Company” or “GPM”) announces that it has filed articles of amendment to consolidate the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) new common share for every two (2) existing common shares, effective as of July 16, 2015 (the “Consolidation”). Shareholder approval of the Consolidation was obtained at the Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders held on June 24, 2015.

In connection with the Consolidation, the Company has sent letters of transmittal to holders of its common shares for use in transmitting their share certificates to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent in exchange for new certificates representing the number of post-Consolidation common shares to which such shareholder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.  No delivery of a certificate evidencing a post-Consolidation common share of the Company to a shareholder will be made until the shareholder has surrendered its current issued certificates.  Until surrendered, each certificate formerly representing pre-Consolidation common shares shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of post-Consolidation common shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.

As at July 16, 2015, immediately following the Consolidation, there were 61,475,358 common shares of the Company issued and outstanding. The post-Consolidation common shares will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange effective as of July 17, 2015.
