Velocity Minerals Ltd.-Share Consolidation and NEX Listing

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2012) - Velocity Minerals Ltd. (the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:VLC.H) advises that, at the upcoming annual and special general meeting of its shareholders scheduled for December 18, 2012, the shareholders will be asked to approve a special resolution to consolidate (the "Consolidation") all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of a ratio not to exceed one post-consolidation Common Share for every four pre-consolidation Common Shares, or such lesser whole number of pre-consolidation Common Shares that the directors of the Company in their discretion may determine, with the Consolidation to be implemented by the Board at any time, such that on completion of the Consolidation, all of the 29,132,833 Common Shares presently issued and outstanding will be consolidated into not less than 7,283,208 issued and outstanding Common Shares. This Consolidation remains subject to all required regulatory approvals, including both TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval and shareholder approval. The number of outstanding stock options and warrants of the Company will similarly be adjusted by the consolidation ratio, and the exercise prices adjusted accordingly.

The Company's directors believe the Consolidation is necessary for the following reasons:

1. The current number of outstanding Common Shares is 29,132,833. Improvements in the corporate outlook result in $0.01 - $0.02 trading increments, which is a material impact on market capitalization and returns. However, the low absolute share price trading ranges do not attract the larger audience of necessary new investors that would notice comparable and significant $0.05 - $0.08 per share price swings and market capitalization gains after the post 4:1 consolidation.
2. Merger or acquisition proposals to acquire new projects based on share consideration are hampered by the need to issue very large amounts of stock to effect any transaction.
3. TSXV rules are designed to encourage public companies to maintain price per share trading ranges above $0.05 per share through minimum share and warrant equity issue rules. At this time the number of shares outstanding makes it difficult to sustain higher share prices. This low share price range results in material limitations on the Company's ability to finance future projects through equity or convertible debt issues.
4. Many institutional and sophisticated investors prefer not to invest in public companies with a high number of outstanding shares and low trading price ranges. A smaller share float tends to discourage low volume traders from using limited capital to set trading ranges and bid / ask price spreads that are not reflective of the underlying value of assets of the Company.
5. Over longer periods, share consolidations do not have a material impact on the Company's total market capitalization and shareholder equity value. Market capitalization is reflective of the underlying value of the assets of the Company.

The Company does not plan to change its name in conjunction with the proposed Consolidation.

The Company further advises that the TSX delisted the Company's securities at the close of market on November 5, 2012 due to its inability to meet the TSX's minimum listing requirements. In an effort to maintain liquidity in the Common Shares, the Board applied to transfer the Company's listing to the NEX, a separate board of the TSXV that provides a trading forum for listed companies that have low levels of business activity or have ceased to carry on an active business. Effective November 6, 2012, the Common Shares commenced trading on the NEX.

The Company continues to seek a funding for its mineral projects or, in the alternative, a new resource project acceptable to funding sources.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Kenneth R. Holmes, Chairman
