Xmet Inc. ("Xmet" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:XME)(OTCQX:XMTTF) is pleased to
announce that it has started an important mechanical stripping and trenching
program at the South Zone on its flagship Duquesne-Ottoman Property ("DO"). As a
result of the compilation of historical results from the DO's western extension
of the Nip zones, near the intersection with the Porcupine-Destor fault, new
targets have been identified within close proximity to historical drill holes.
Near surface drill holes with intersections up to 10.2 metres wide assaying 2.61
g/t Au, including an individual sample of 1.83 metres grading 10.11 g/t have
been obtained in hole 82-10 from the area proposed for stripping and trenching
(figure 1). These drill results are historical in nature, though they are useful
in identifying high priority areas for stripping. Xmet advises that they cannot
be used with confidence and that the company does rely on these values except to
orient exploration.


"Only sporadic sampling was done in these historic holes and no core remains for
follow-up assays" reported Charles Beaudry, President and COO of Xmet. He added,
"We are excited because many of the intersections are not bounded by assays and
with prevailing gold prices and the wide zone encountered in hole 82-10, there
is clear potential for a bulk minable target in this area of the property. We
were very successful in 2011 at highlighting near surface mineralization on the
East Shaft Zone where stripping outlined mineralization in outcrop over 150
metres in strike and subsequent drilling extended the mineralization down to 130
metres vertical and remains open at depth and we are hopeful to have the same
success on the South Zone".


The Duquesne-Ottoman Property hosts a NI 43-101 compliant resource of 4.17 M
tonnes grading 6.36 g/t (uncut) for a total of 853,000 ounces Au. On 16 May,
2012 Xmet announced a purchase-agreement with Brionor Resources (TSX
VENTURE:BNR) for the adjacent Pitt Gold Property which adds compliant resources
and brings the total property resource to 600,000 tonnes grading 7.83 g/t Au
(cut) for 151,000 indicated Au ounces and 5,559,000 tonnes grading 5.56 g/t Au
(cut) for 994,000 inferred ounces Au. 


Sampling on the South Zone will be carried out using a diamond-bladed rock saw
and samples will be sent to the laboratory as soon as mapping and sampling is
completed. The work will be carried out in two phases, initially with trenches
excavated perpendicular to the gold-bearing structures and once results are
received from the laboratory a second phase of trenching will be undertaken
parallel to the gold-bearing structures that will completely expose the
mineralized system for mapping and additional sampling. 


Xmet is currently working to update the resource estimate on its recently
announced Pitt Zone Gold Property transaction and continues to seek synergistic
acquisitions that will accrue value to its Duquesne-Ottoman Property asset.
