VANCOUVER, BC, MAY 9, 2016 – GMV Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “GMV”) (TSX V: GMV) is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Arizona State Land Department to proceed with its Exploration Plan of Operation concerning Permit #08-117863 located on its wholly-owned Mexican Hat gold property in S.E. Arizona.

In addition to its recently announced up to 20 tonne bulk sample, management is planning to excavate two 400 ft. trenches to expose bedrock in the vicinity of 19 holes previously drilled by Santa Fe Gold Corp. (“Sante Fe”), where significant gold values were obtained from depths as shallow as 3.0 m down hole (SF9-27), 4.52 m down hole (SF9-23) and 7.62 m down hole (SF9-8).

Concentrations of gold such as 13.7 m of 1.71 gpt (SF9-8) and 3 m of 1.99 gpt (SF9-28) have been obtained at shallow depths in historic drill results from this area. These are historic results and not NI 43-101 compliant but are believed to be accurate and are reported for reference to the prospectivity of the area. The Company will expose, map and sample this zone to better define this trend for subsequent drilling.

The mineral resource at Mexican Hat extends for 850 m (open) in an elongate northwest – southeast direction, established by the currently known limits of drilling. The Santa Fe drilling, in an area now owned by GMV Minerals Inc., is located 260 m southeast of the resource and covers a further 190 m of projected strike to the southeast. A projection of the mineral trend suggests that the overall zone might be 50% longer in strike to the southeast than is currently drill-tested. None of these historic drill holes completed by Santa Fe have been included in the current NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.
