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".
