VANCOUVER, April 7 /CNW/ - GMV Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "GMV") (TSX-V:GMV) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an initial property acquisition agreement with Shoreham Resources Ltd. ("Shoreham") (TSX-V: SMH) whereby the Company has the option to acquire the right from Shoreham's wholly owned subsidiary, RPM Exploration Inc., to earn up to 100% of the mineral rights to 41 medium scale prospecting permits and 1 large scale prospecting permit in the Upper Puruni area and the Otomung East area, in The Republic of Guyana, South America.
The summary of terms of the acquisition are as follows:
Cash payments: US$40,000 upon the approval of TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") US$25,000 on or before the first anniversary of Exchange approval Share issuance: 3 million common shares of GMV Minerals Inc issued in tranches of 1.6 million common shares (post 2:1 consolidation) on Exchange approval and 1.4 million common shares (post 2:1 consolidation) on the first anniversary following Exchange approval. Expenditures: Cumulative additional expenditures of US$3million during a period of 4 years from Exchange approval of this transaction (year 1-US$400,000; year 2-US$600,000; year 3-US$800,000; year 4-US$1.2million) NSR: A 2% NSR royalty, of which 1% may be purchased back by GMV at any time prior to production for a payment of US$1million.
In addition, GMV has agreed to make available to Shoreham certain additional funds which Shoreham may utilize to bid at private auctions for additional contiguous permits in Guyana and, if such bids are successful, will form part of the property acquisition agreement.
While the initial agreement is intended to be binding, the parties have agreed to enter into a comprehensive definitive agreement setting out in detail the terms and conditions of the acquisition. The completion of the acquisition is subject to all applicable approvals including the approval of the TSX-Venture Exchange.

In addition, the Company wishes to announce that it has terminated its previously announced option assignment for up to 75% of the RHG copper-gold exploration project property located 110 kilometres southwest of Dease Lake, BC.
