VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 16, 2012) - Fortress Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FST) ("Fortress" or the "Company") reports that the Company will commence trading on the NEX effective as of the market opening on October 17, 2012 under the symbol FST.H.

The Company had previously announced on April 26, 2012 that it had received notice from the TSX Venture Exchange that the Company had a Tier 2 Continued Listing Requirements Deficiency in relation to its assets and operations for a company classified as a Mining Issuer and was given a deadline of October 16, 2012 to provide a submission to the Exchange evidencing that it meets Tier 2 Continued Listing Requirments. The Company had not provided a submission by the deadline and therefore its listing has been transfered to NEX.

In this regard, the Company reports that it is well financed and is continuing to review a number of projects in the resource sector for possible acquisition and will apply for re-listing on the TSX Venture Exchange at the appropriate time.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
