TORONTO, ON, April 28 /CNW Telbec/ - Xmet Inc. (TSXV: XME) is pleased to provide a summary table of drilling highlights from the Phase 1 drilling program obtained over the past six months on the Duquesne-Ottoman project. This drilling program targeted expansion of the current 43-101 resource as well as under-explored areas on the property. The most current 43-101 gold mineral resource for the property was reported on September 21, 2010, with 2,731,276 tonnes at an average grade of 5.29 g/t Au (6.00 g/t Au uncut), hosting 465,000 ounces Au (525,000 ounces Au uncut).

Drilling targeted resource expansion at the N Shaft, Shaft, South Shaft, Fox and Liz Zones, while exploration drilling targeted the 20-20 and Nip Zones. Table 1 is a summary of all significant drill intercepts reported over the past six months. All reported assay intervals were cut to 30 g/t Au unless otherwise stated. True width is estimated to be 80% of reported widths.

All drill results reported presented in Table 1 were obtained after the September 21, 2010 43-101 resource estimate was published on SEDAR ([ www.sedar.com ]). The results in Table 1 demonstrate that Xmet has successfully targeted extensions of potential gold mineralization surrounding the current 43-101 resource during the phase 1 program, which has just been completed with 13,000m drilled. Assays are pending for the last three holes. Highlights also included many significant intersections at Nip and the new 20-20 Zone, which represent two significant and exciting target areas for the upcoming 2011 exploration field season.
