Crosshair Energy Corp. Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, Jul 26, 2013 - Crosshair Energy Corp. (TSX:CXX) (OTCQB:CRHRF) ("Crosshair" or the "Company") announces that, in connection with its annual general and special meeting of shareholders on August 29, 2013 (the "Meeting"), it will seek shareholder approval for a proposed consolidation (the "Consolidation") of its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") and for a change of its name.

Crosshair will be seeking shareholder approval to authorize, ratify and approve the implementation by Crosshair's Board of Directors of a consolidation of all of its Common Shares on a ratio of up to ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares for every one (1) post-consolidation Common Share (the "Consolidation Ratio"). Shareholder approval of the Consolidation will authorize Crosshair's Board of Directors to determine the Consolidation Ratio and to implement the Consolidation at any time within twelve months of such shareholder approval.

The Consolidation is being proposed in order to allow Crosshair greater flexibility in future corporate activities. Crosshair reserves the option of not proceeding with the proposed Consolidation. The proposed Consolidation is subject to shareholder approval and supporting documentation being accepted for filing by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

In conjunction with the proposed Consolidation, shareholders will also be asked to approve a change of name for the Company from Crosshair Energy Corp. to Jet Metal Corp.

The Company also reports that the TSX is reviewing the common shares of Crosshair (symbol: CXX) with respect to meeting the continued listing requirements of the TSX. Crosshair has been granted 120 days in which to regain compliance with these requirements, pursuant to the Remedial Review Process.
