[ACCESSWIRE]
Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 6, 2015 / Canamex Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Canamex") (TSX-V: CSQ) (OTCQX: CNMXF) (FSE: CX6) would like to provide shareholders with a review of the Company's accomplishments and progress in 2014 and discuss its corporate plans for 2015.
Bruner Gold Project, Nye County, Nevada - 2014 Drilling Campaign
On March 7, 2014, Canamex announced that it had commenced drilling at the Bruner Gold Project. The 2014 drilling campaign was designed to follow up on the success of drill hole B-1340 at the historic resource area* (which intersected 57.9 metres grading 5.2 g/tonne Au) (Canamex press release dated December 4, 2013) and to continue drilling of the open northern extension of the Penelas East discovery area. A total of 51 reverse circulation ("RC") holes were drilled totaling 7,501 metres, and 13 core holes totaling 2,212 metres were completed in 2014.
During 2014, ten (10) holes totaling 875 metres were drilled at the Paymaster Hill / Mine area, where previous sampling of old underground workings, currently inaccessible, indicated the presence of high-grade gold mineralization. These holes were very successful in expanding the zone of gold mineralization and additional drilling at the Paymaster Hill / Mine area target is warranted.
Twelve (12) holes totaling 2,373 metres were drilled to test the VLF-EM current density anomalies detected north and northwest at the Penelas East discovery area. Sufficient gold was intersected in these holes to suggest the VLF-EM method may identify mineralized structures requiring further drilling to assess this apparent correlation further.
Three (3) RC holes totaling 590 metres and two (2) core holes totaling 568 metres were drilled at the northern open extension of the Penelas East discovery area to test deep high-grade gold intercepts encountered there in 2013. All of these holes intersected significant gold intercepts both near the surface and at depth to necessitate additional drilling of the open northern extension to the Penelas East discovery area.
The majority of the drilling in 2014 was concentrated in the historic resource area. Twenty-seven (27) RC holes totaling 3,797 metres and ten (10) core holes totaling 1,510 metres were completed in the historic resource area. The data from these holes define the core mineralized zone of the historic resource area and provide the detailed understanding of the host geology and distribution of grade. This detailed drilling will allow for a new National Instrument 43-101 compatible resource estimate of the historic resources area.

* HRA refers to Historic Resource Area
* The historic resource area refers to an area on the Bruner property that was the subject of a historical resource estimate reported on the property in a press release by Miramar Mining Corporation in 1993 and is not in compliance with NI 43-101 standards. The historical resource estimate was done by industry professionals in accordance with standard industry practices prevalent at the time, and is believe to be reliable, but with no assurances as to how much of the resource would qualify as measured, indicated, or inferred under current industry reporting standards. A qualified person (within the meaning of NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resource or mineral reserves, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The historical estimate is relevant solely for purposes of directing target areas for the Company's current exploration program.
Greg Hahn, President and COO and a Certified Professional Geologist (#7122) is the Qualified Person under NI43-101 responsible for preparing and reviewing the data contained in this press release.
Aranka North Gold Project, Guyana
On June 25, 2014, Canamex issued 1,000,000 common shares to GMV Minerals Inc. in accordance with an Option and Joint Venture Agreement that was accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange on August 2, 2011. As of June 25, 2014, the Company has a 100% interest in the Aranka North Property.
On October 29, 2014, the Company announced the completion of a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on its 100% owned Aranka North Gold Project in Guyana. Located approximately 140 kilometres northwest of Georgetown, Guyana's capital, the Aranka North Property consists of 98,057 acres (approximately 400 km2) in a region on trend with major gold discoveries by Guyana Goldfields at Aurora and Sandspring Resources at Toroparu. There are recently active alluvial gold mining operations within Canamex's land package.
The NI 43-101 Report recommends a $500,000 diamond drilling program to test the heart of the gold anomaly. While Canamex is encouraged about the potential of the Aranka North Property, the near-term focus of the Company will be the Bruner Gold Project.
Financings in 2014
Canamex completed two private placements in 2014. First, as announced on February 28, 2014, the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $2,160,000, raised by the issuance of 24,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.09 per share. Gold Resource Corporation subscribed for 22,222,222 of those shares and accordingly became an Insider of the Company, owning more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares.
On October 3, 2014, Canamex announced the closing of an equity financing for gross proceeds of $1,524,229. The Company issued 7,258,234 Units at a price of $0.21 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one common share and one-half (1/2) share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.30 per share on or before October 2, 2016. Hecla Canada Ltd. elected to increase its position in Canamex by participating in that financing.
Management and Board
It was with great sadness that Canamex announced on May 12, 2014 the sudden passing of Robert Kramer. As CEO and Chairman of the Board, Bob was our Company's leader and a great colleague and friend, and is missed by us all.
On November 13, 2014, the Company announced the appointment of Mark Billings as CEO of Canamex, and on December 17, 2014 announced the appointment of Michael Pesner as an independent director.
The Board of Directors and management team of Canamex is presently comprised of:
Mark Billings, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors
Greg Hahn, President, COO and Director
Dean McDonald, Director
Michael Pesner, Director
Mike Stark, Director
Rick Barnett, CFO and Corporate Secretary
Plans for 2015
Canamex will soon disseminate to shareholders the final results from the 2014 drilling campaign. Management of Canamex is very encouraged by the results of the 2014 campaign to date, as discussed previously in this News Release. The Company believes that there is now sufficient drilling data to produce a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, including a mineral resource estimate for the Bruner Gold Project. Since Canamex has been involved in drilling at Bruner in 2010, the Company has completed 149 core and reverse circulation holes totaling over 26 km of drilling.
Management of the Company would like to inform shareholders that work has begun on a technical report on the Bruner Gold Project. It is the Company's objective to complete the report in Q1 2015. Upon completion of the report and review by Management and the Board, the Company will consider appropriate next steps at Bruner.
At this time, the Board and Management of Canamex would like to wish shareholders and the investing public a very Happy New Year and all the best in 2015. The Company will provide regular updates on its progress.
