GMV Minerals Inc. Significantly Expands Mineralized Zones by 120 Meters in the
North at the Mexican Hat Gold Deposit and Discovers 2 New Zones
GMV 2016-8 Assays 27.4 meters of 0.87gpt/gold
VANCOUVER, BC, February 21, 2017 – GMV Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “GMV”) (TSX-V: GMV) is
pleased to report preliminary results from two additional holes from its recently completed reverse circulation drill
program designed to extend the known mineralization on its Mexican Hat gold property in S.E. Arizona. As was the
case in the first batch of holes reported on February 1, 2017, both holes are adding to the existing resource.
The Company is pleased to announce that it has extended the known area of mineralization in the north of the
Mexican Hat deposit by approximately 120 metres. The current NI #43-101 resource was calculated with a 0.2 gpt
gold cut-off, so all assays that exceed the cut off are considered material and further support an open pit heap leach
extraction model.
The intersections on GMV 2016-8 are an approximately 30-meter lateral step out to the northeast on zones AN, A,
and B, and are 30 meters deeper on the AN zone, 20 meters deeper on the A zone, and 20 meters deeper on the B
zone. The intersections in GMV 2016-7 are similar lateral step outs as in GMV 2016-8. The two new intersections are
located above 130 meters downhole (the first two intercepts in hole 2016-7-see below) and both are newly discovered
zones. The Company is also pleased to confirm that this hole hit the AN zone 100 meters below previous drilling,
120 meters below previous intercepts on A zone, and 100 meters deeper on B zone.
The Company wishes to confirm that some infill sampling is pending on these two holes which may add to the
reported intercepts’ grade and length. Both of these holes intersected multiple fractured hematite-bearing zones,
typically associated with the known mineralization. Significant intersections occurred in both holes and include:

The results from five additional holes are pending.
Ian Klassen, GMV’s CEO remarked, “We are pleased with these additional assays. As per our recent announcement
on February 1, not only have we been able to extend the H2 Zone and encounter additional mineralization to the
southeast, beyond the previous limits of our resource, but now we have also done the same to the northeast of the
deposit. These results give us some of the deep est cuts into our zones and should translate well into additional
tonnage and ounces”.
RC samples were collected using a rotary splitter at the drill, bagged, dried, and shipped by commercial carrier to
Inspectorate America Corporation Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada. Certified standards and blanks were inserted into
the sample stream prior to shipping, and laboratories standards, blanks and duplicates were analyzed and reported.
Samples were prepared using PRP70-250 and analyzed using FA330 (fire assay) and AQ251 (ICP) methods. All gold
values are reported from the FA330 results. All standards and duplicates reported acceptable results.
The Company also wishes to confirm that diamond drilling at the Hernandez Hill, a newly discovered epithermal
target 500 m northeast of the Mexican Hat mineralization has now concluded, and logging, sampling and assaying is in
progress. This target was identified by geology and surficial geochemistry and supported by recent AMT geophysical
survey.
The metallurgical testing on the Company’s bulk sample from Mexican Hat is completed and final assays on the
residue are in progress at the lab. A detailed news release on this test will be issued once the results have been
received.
