Xmet Inc. ("Xmet" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:XME)(OTCQX:XMTTF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a purchase agreement with Brionor Resources Inc. ("Brionor") to acquire twenty-four contiguous mineral claims from Brionor (known as the "Pitt Gold Project"), which claims are immediately adjacent to Xmet's flagship Duquesne-Ottoman project in the Province of Quebec (the "Transaction") (figure 1). As set forth in the technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report and Audit of the Preliminary Mineral Resource Estimate for the Pitt Gold Project, Duparquet Township, Abitibi Region, Quebec, Canada" dated June 10, 2011, by William J. Lewis and Alan San Martin of Micon International Limited (the "Technical Report", available under Brionor's corporate profile at www.sedar.com), the Pitt Gold Project is a NI 43-101 compliant gold ounce resource (600,000 tonnes at 7.83 grams per tonne equalling 156,000 oz. Au at the Indicated level and 476,000 tonnes at 6.91 grams per tonnes equalling 100,000 oz. at the Inferred level). Xmet's Duquesne-Ottoman Project hosts its own compliant resource of 4.17 million tonnes at 6.36 grams per tonne uncut equalling 853,000 inferred ounces Au. To the best of the Xmet's knowledge, information, and belief, there is no new material scientific or technical information that would make the disclosure of the mineral resources, mineral reserves or results of a preliminary economic assessment set forth in the Technical Report published by Brionor inaccurate or misleading. The completion of the Transaction will increase the gold resource on Xmet's combined Duquesne-Ottoman/Brionor property to 953,000 inferred and 156,000 indicated Au ounces. "We see an opportunity to consolidate the Duparquet region's gold resources and we are looking to do so at a time when compliant gold ounces can be obtained on favourable terms" said Alexander Stewart, Chairman and CEO of Xmet. He went on to say, "We have received numerous enquiries from shareholders about our strategy to accelerate our option payments on the Duquesne-Ottoman asset, and they can now see that in order for this consolidation strategy to work we needed to own our resource to gain a foothold and grow from there." In exchange for 100% ownership of the Pitt Gold Project, Xmet has agreed to issue 20,626,960 of its common shares to Brionor. Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, the exercise of Xmet's option to purchase a 75% interest in Duquesne-Ottoman Project (see Xmet's press release dated March 5 2012), obtaining any necessary approvals, as well as the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Charles Beaudry, President and COO of Xmet commented: "This acquisition is very synergistic to our Duquesne-Ottoman Project. The rationale for acquiring the Pitt Gold Project, aside from the ounces it brings into the company, is that the Pitt Zone resource was delineated up to the boundary of the Duquesne-Ottoman Property and we have every reason to believe the mineralization continues onto our property. Our geological interpretation indicates that the Pitt Zone aligns with our Stinger Zone where Xmet has delineated a gold resource. The intervening area has been insufficiently drill tested, mainly because of drill permitting complexity and the availability of excellent targets elsewhere that could be easily permitted for drilling. Between the Pitt and Stinger zones there are over 900 metres of strike along this horizon and at depth that are open for additional exploration and discovery. With the completion of the acquisition of the Pitt Gold Project, drill permitting issues will be largely eliminated and this target area will be a focus of our exploration in the near future". About Xmet Inc. Xmet is a gold exploration company focused on advanced projects in existing mining camps in Canada where exploration and mining costs are minimized and where previous and historic producing mines make for much easier permitting and minimizes community and First Nations social community risks.
