VANCOUVER, June 12, 2012 /CNW/ - Next Gen Metals Inc. ("the Company" or "Next Gen") TSX.V: N OTCQX:  NXTTF As a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC"), the Company issues this news release to clarify certain disclosures made pertaining to the Company's website and in some investor materials that do not comply with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").

On the Company's website, corporate fact sheet and news releases the Company had shown a map of the Destiny Gold Project that showed inferred mineral resources added to other categories contrary to section 2.2 (c) of NI 43-101.  This has since been removed from the materials with future indicated and inferred categories to be shown separately.

The Company's latest corporate presentation disclosed estimates of exploration potential that are restricted by section 2.3 (1) of NI 43-101 because they were not expressed in ranges and did not contain the cautionary language required by section 2.3 (2).  This has since been removed and future estimates will be expressed in compliance of section 2.3 (2).

In addition, the Company's website, corporate fact sheet, corporate presentation, and the MD&A did not identify and disclose the relationship to the Company of the qualified person who prepared the technical information.  The technical information contained in these disclosures had been reviewed and approved by Ali Hassanalizadeh, M.Sc. P. Geo. who is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.   This information has been added to the Company's website, corporate fact sheet and corporate presentation.  Going forward, this will be included on the Company's MD&A.

Ali Hassanalizadeh, M.Sc. P. Geo., a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 has reviewed and approved the technical information provided in this news release.
