TORONTO, July 22, 2015 /CNW/ - GPM Metals Inc. (TSXV: GPM) (the "Company" or "GPM") is pleased to announce that approval for EL 24305 to proceed to grant has been obtained;  enabling  the Company to proceed with exploration on key areas of the Walker Gossan Project ("WGP"),  Northern Territory, Australia . The project is a joint venture between the Company and Rio Tinto Exploration PTY Ltd. (see January 27, 2014 press release of the Company available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com). The approvals represent a major milestone for the project as the tenements have been under application for in excess of 40 years following  the identification of favourable and highly anomalous areas in 1972.

The WGP lies within one of the great metallogenic provinces  of the world. The WGP is located within the Walker Fault Zone,  which was identified by the Northern Territory Geological Society ("NTGS") as being the "hottest untested exploration play in the Northern Territory" in  a 2004 publication of the NTGS.
