DGM

DGM Minerals Corp. ("DGM" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DGM) today announced
that it has closed an equity offering (the "Equity Offering") of 7,000,000
subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") for gross proceeds of
$7,000,000. The Equity Offering was conducted in connection with the Company's
proposed acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all of the issued and outstanding
shares of five companies (the "Target Companies") which, collectively, own and
operate five self-storage stores in Poland and the Czech Republic (the
"Assets"), as previously announced in DGM's news release of January 10, 2014.


Subscription Receipt Equity Offering

The Company engaged Euro Pacific Canada Inc. (the "Agent") to act as agent to
distribute the Subscription Receipts pursuant to an agency agreement between the
Company and the Agent dated March 31, 2014. The gross proceeds of the Equity
Offering (the "Escrowed Funds") have been deposited in escrow pursuant to the
terms of a subscription receipt indenture between the Company, the Agent and
Computershare Trust Company of Canada dated March 31, 2014. The Escrowed Funds
will be released from escrow upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to
the Acquisition, receipt of all requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals
to the Equity Offering and the Acquisition, and certain other conditions (the
"Escrow Release Conditions"). Shareholder approval of the Acquisition and
related matters was obtained from DGM shareholders on March 27, 2014. Upon
satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and in connection with the
completion of the Acquisition, each Subscription Receipt will convert into one
post-consolidation common share (each, a "Share") of DGM (which will be renamed
"Less Mess Storage Inc." upon completion of the Acquisition) and one common
share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant may be exercised for an
additional Share for two years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of
$1.40.


The Agent and the members of the selling group received: (i) a cash commission
equal to up to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Equity Offering; and (ii) an
aggregate of 490,000 Agent's subscription receipts (each, an "Agent's
Subscription Receipt"), being 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts issued
under the Equity Offering. Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions,
each Agent's Subscription Receipt will convert into an Agent's compensation
option (an "Agent's Compensation Option"). Each Agent's Compensation Option will
be exercisable for one Share and one Warrant at an exercise price of $1.00 for a
period of two years from the date of issuance. The Agent also received a $25,000
work fee.


In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before
April 30, 2014, the gross proceeds from the Equity Financing will be returned to
the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts will be
automatically cancelled.


The Equity Offering closed in two tranches: $6,484,000 under the first tranche
and $516,000 under the second tranche. All securities issued pursuant to the
first tranche of the Equity Offering are subject to four month hold period
expiring on August 1, 2014. All securities issued pursuant to the second tranche
of the Equity Offering are subject to four month hold period expiring on August
5, 2014. The Equity Offering remains subject to the receipt of all required
regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange.


Acquisition of the Target Companies

DGM is pleased to provide an update respecting the Acquisition. When
consummated, the Acquisition will make DGM the largest self-storage chain in
Central Europe, a region which management believes is poised for substantial
short and long term growth in the self-storage sector.


DGM will purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target
Companies and acquire the Assets under the definitive share sale and purchase
agreement dated January 9, 2014 (the "Share Purchase Agreement"), for an
aggregate purchase price of 14,000,000 Euros, 7,000,000 Euros of which is
payable on closing, and 7,000,000 Euros of which will be vendor-financed, as
described in further detail in DGM's January 10, 2014, news release.


The proposed transaction will be a "change of business" transaction ("COB")
under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, and accordingly requires the
approval of DGM's shareholders. In conjunction with the transaction, DGM will
consolidate its current issued and outstanding shares on a 12:1 basis (the
"Consolidation", increased from a previously-announced 10:1 consolidation ratio)
and will change its name to "Less Mess Storage Inc." DGM shareholders approved
the Acquisition, the COB, the Consolidation and the name change at the Company's
annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on March 27, 2014 (the
"Meeting"). The Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts
issued under the Equity Financing will be post-Consolidation Shares.


DGM acquired the exclusive right to purchase the Target Companies and acquire
the Assets from Mr. Guy Pinsent pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated
January 9, 2014 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). DGM will also acquire other
assets that Pinsent has obtained or developed with respect to the Assets,
including certain intellectual property respecting the business to be conducted
following the successful completion of the transaction (i.e. the "Less Mess"
brand and intellectual property). The consideration payable by DGM under the
Asset Purchase Agreement has been reduced. While the parties previously agreed
that DGM would issue an aggregate of 2,300,000 post-Consolidation common shares,
the Asset Purchase Agreement has now been amended to provide that 2,000,000
post-Consolidation common shares will be issued, as follows: Pinsent will
receive 1,130,433 shares; Peter Smith (DGM's President and CEO) will receive
521,739 shares; Michael Raven (DGM's Corporate Secretary) will receive 173,914
shares; and two arm's length parties will receive 86,957 shares each. Each of
Mr. Smith and Mr. Raven are receiving shares as compensation for services
provided to Mr. Pinsent during his pursuit of the acquisition of the Assets,
prior to DGM's involvement in the transaction.


DGM is partially financing the Acquisition through the Equity Financing. To
further finance the Acquistion, DGM, through a Polish subsidiary, intends to
issue a bond (the "Bond") to Credit Value Sp. z o.o., a Polish investment
company based in Warsaw ("Credit Value"). The Bond will be denominated in Polish
Zloties (PLN) and be the equivalent of $5,250,000. The Bond will pay a quarterly
coupon based on an annual interest rate of 5%, and the total cost of the Bond
will be 18% annualized, payable on redemption. There are no arrangement fees or
commissions payable in connection with the Bond; however, DGM will also be
obligated to pay the legal costs of Credit Value, to a maximum of 15,000 Euros
(approximately $22,500). The Bond will be repayable on the date which is 24
months from the date of issuance, and DGM may repay the Bond early without
penalty at any time after six months from the date of issuance.


DGM's President and CEO, Peter Smith, is delighted to be moving ahead with the
proposed Acquisition: "We've spent a lot of time and resources assessing this
opportunity for DGM and we feel that it has outstanding potential. Self-storage
is an attractive sector to be in, and this particular opportunity gives us five
established self-storage businesses, all purpose-built or renovated specifically
for self-storage, and all in central, inner-city locations where real estate
values are expected to grow. We also feel there is a significant growth
opportunity for self-storage in Central and Eastern Europe, with the potential
for us to grow many-fold in the near future, provided that only a fraction of
the market penetration for self-storage already existing in places like the USA,
Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany (bordering Poland and the Czech Republic)
can be achieved. The rapid economic growth of Poland and the Czech Republic over
the past decade indicates that many of the well-established 'drivers' for
self-storage should now exist in these regions. However, there still remains a
lot of work to be done before the transaction can be closed. Management will
continue to update the market as we progress."


Further details regarding the Acquisition and related matters are provided in
the Company's Management Information Circular which has been mailed to
shareholders of DGM in connection with the Meeting. The Management Information
Circular is also accessible under DGM's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.


Completion of the Acquisition and related matters is subject to a number of
conditions, including TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. There can be no assurance
that the Acquisition and related matters will be completed as proposed or at
all.


Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Management Information
Circular prepared in connection with the Acquisition, any information released
or received with respect to the COB may not be accurate or complete and should
not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of DGM Minerals Corp. should be
considered highly speculative.


The TSX Venture Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed
transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press
release.
