LMS Latin Metals Inc

Less Mess Storage Inc. ("Less Mess" or the "Company"; formerly "DGM Minerals
Corp.") (TSX VENTURE:LMS) today announced that it has successfully completed its
previously announced acquisition of five self-storage facilities in Poland and
the Czech Republic. Please see the Company's press releases dated January 10,
2014, and April 7, 2014, for a description of the transaction and the assets.
The transaction has made Less Mess the largest self-storage chain in Central and
Eastern Europe, a region which management believes is poised for substantial
growth in the self-storage sector. The common shares of Less Mess are listed on
the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "LMS" and resume trading today.


Guy Pinsent, President and CEO of Less Mess, commented:

"This acquisition represents an important first step in building a substantial
self-storage business in a high growth region with almost zero market
penetration: a huge opportunity. The five stores acquired, four of which are
freehold properties in excellent locations in Warsaw and Prague, are generating
growing cash flow with further upside potential. Poland and the Czech Republic,
which have just celebrated 10 years' membership of the European Union, have
robust macroeconomic outlooks which will further underpin the self-storage
story. We now have a lot of work to do in rebranding, restructuring and rolling
out the business. The board would like to thank our staff and advisors for their
efforts in closing this complex transaction, and express our enthusiasm for
working together as we grow the Company."


Pursuant to a final share sale and purchase agreement dated April 24, 2014, the
Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of five companies
which, collectively, own and operate the facilities. Three of the acquired
companies are incorporated in Poland (Krakowska House Sp. z o.o., Torunska House
Sp. z o.o. and City Self-Storage Sp. z o.o.) and two companies are incorporated
in the Czech Republic (Selvaag Evropska Building A.S. and City Self-Storage
S.R.O.). Collectively, the five acquired companies operate five self-storage
facilities, two of which are in Warsaw, Poland, and three of which are in
Prague, Czech Republic. The vendors under the share purchase agreement were
Selvaag Eiendom A.S. and Selvaag Self-Storage A.S. (the "Vendors"). The Vendors
are owned by Selvaag Gruppen A.S., a Norwegian company, and were advised by Oslo
headquartered investment bank, ABG Sundal Collier.


Less Mess acquired the companies for an aggregate purchase price of 14,000,000
Euros, 7,000,000 Euros of which was paid on closing, and 7,000,000 Euros of
which was Vendor-financed through the assumption by Less Mess of existing debt
owed by the acquired companies to the Vendors. In connection with the
acquisition, the Company completed a $7,000,000 equity offering and a $5,250,000
bond offering. 


The transaction was a "change of business" transaction under the policies of the
TSX Venture Exchange, and accordingly required the approval of the Company's
shareholders. In conjunction with the transaction, the Company's common shares
were consolidated on a 12:1 basis and the Company changed its name to "Less Mess
Storage Inc." The Company's shareholders approved the transaction, the
consolidation and the name change at the Company's annual general and special
meeting of shareholders held on March 27, 2014.


On closing of the transaction, Peter Smith resigned as the Company's President
and CEO in order for Guy Pinsent to adopt these roles. Pinsent is an
entrepreneur with a background in investment and corporate banking (Citibank
London, branded consumer team with clients including Bacardi, Diageo and British
American Tobacco), the British Foreign Service and real estate investment and
development. Pinsent was formerly a partner at Personal Storage, a private
British self-storage business, at the time the sixth largest in the UK, before
focussing on the self-storage opportunity in Poland and neighboring markets.
Pinsent's real estate experience includes head of business development at
Colliers International Poland, and consulting to a wide range or investors and
developers. He assisted on the financing, development and sale of Helical
Poland's 'Europa Centralna' retail park, an investment of EUR 115 million
delivering 720,000 square feet of retail space (Phase 1), one of the largest
retail developments in Europe. 


Peter Smith will remain Chairman of the Company's board and will act as Vice
President, Corporate Development.
