Guyana Precious Metals Inc. Adopts Advance Notice By-Law

TORONTO, ONTARIO – June 10, 2013 – Guyana Precious Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GPM) (the “Corporation” or “GPM”) announces the adoption by its Board of Directors of amendments to its By-Laws.

By-Law 3 includes a provision that requires advance notice to the Corporation in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors are made by shareholders of the Corporation other than pursuant to (i) a requisition to call a shareholders’ meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the OBCA (the “Advance Notice Provision”).

Among other things, the Advance Notice Provision fixes a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of the Corporation must submit Director nominations to the Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Corporation for the notice to be in proper written form.

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Corporation must be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.

In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice to the Corporation must be made no later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

The Advance Notice Provision provides a clear process for shareholders to follow to nominate Directors and sets out a reasonable time frame for nominee submissions along with a requirement for accompanying information. The purpose of the Advance Notice Provision is to treat all shareholders fairly by ensuring that all shareholders, including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person, receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. In addition, the Advance Notice Provision should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient meeting process.

By-Law 3 is effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders at the next annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held in July 2013. A copy of By-Law 3 has been filed under the Corporation’s profile at www.sedar.com.

Mr. John Patrick Sheridan reports details of the commencement of the Peters Mine Property exploration program.Company geologists and technicians are currently on site and the exploration program is underway.

The program is based on re-interpretation of data from the previous operator at the Mango Trend. Defined targets are being investigated with a sequence of 6 mechanized trenches of various lengths between 70m and 120m, and soil / rock sampling of the trenches.

The trenching and sampling is being carried out concurrently with surface mapping.

The Peters Mine Property consists of 8,358 acres of highly prospective ground. It is located approximately 80km west of the town of Bartica, and approximately 140km southwest of Georgetown; the capital and largest city of Guyana. The site is accessible by an all-weather road from the town of Bartica.

Based on archival records, the Peters Mine produced 40,000 ounces of gold between 1905 and 1909 with head grades in excess of one ounce. Historical production has not been verified and should not be relied upon. The Main Shaft Area, the site of the former operation, is part of a regional structural trend (The Mango Trend ) which is more than 8km in length.
