Star Metro - GMV Minerals Inc. Extends Exclusive Option to Acquire Mexican Hat Mining Claims - Commissions Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment

GMV's wholly owned subsidiary acquired 100% of the Mining Property Lease ( "Mining Property Lease" or "Lease") of Norman A. Pearson in the Mexican Hat Property pursuant to the terms of a mining property lease assignment agreement dated as of May 14, 2014 among GMV, Norman A. Pearson and Manuel R. Hernandez. Subsequent to the passing of Mr. Hernandez in 2019, the Claims and Lease were transferred and assigned to the Hernandez Family Trust (the "Hernandez Trust"). The Hernandez Trust and GMV entered into an Option to Purchase Agreement in respect of the Claims dated December 14, 2020, pursuant to which the Hernandez Trust granted GMV's subsidiary the exclusive initial five (5) year Option over the Claims that are the subject of the Lease by making certain quarterly option payments to Hernandez Trust.

If GMV elects to exercise and purchase the Claims during the term of the extended Option, then GMV will continue to be obligated to grant Hernandez Trust a net smelter return royalty (NSR Royalty) of 3% in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease. The NSR Royalty is subject to a buy-back right pursuant to which 1.5% of the NSR Royalty can be purchased by GMV in consideration for US$1,500,000.
