Canamex Intersects 70.1 Meters Grading 3.17 g/tonne Gold at Bruner
Gold Project, Nevada
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 21, 2014) -
Canamex Resources Corp. (the "Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:CSQ)(OTCQX:CNMXF)(FFRANKFURT:CX6) is very pleased to
announce ongoing results from the core drilling program at the
Bruner gold project located in Nye County, Nevada.
Historic Resource
Area*
Core Hole
B-1404C
Core hole B-1404C, drilled at the historic resource area* at
nearly right angles to the interpreted strike of mineralization,
intersected 230 feet grading 0.092 oz/ton Au ((70.1 metres grading
3.17 g/tonne Au) from 262-492 feet depth, including 5 feet grading
2.98 oz/ton (1.5 metres grading 102 g/tonne) from 332-337 feet.
This is the second best drill hole intercept in the historic
resource area* next to reverse circulation (RC) hole B-1340. B-1340
was the last hole drilled at the historic resource area* in 2013,
and intersected 190 feet grading 0.155 oz/ton Au (57.9 metres
grading 5.23 g/tonne Au). These two drill hole intercepts are
approximately 100 feet apart and indicate continuity of a
high-grade portion within this mineralized zone of the historic
resource area*. A plan view map has been posted to the web site
that displays the location of holes B-1404C and B-1340, along with
the locations of other historic drill hole intercepts that define
this mineralized portion of the historic resource area*. Results of
ongoing drilling between these two holes are pending, and will
provide further definition of this zone.
Core hole
B-1406C
Core hole B-1406C was drilled on the same azimuth as hole
B-1404C, but at a shallower inclination of 45° from horizontal, and
intersected the mineralized zone about 100 feet above the intercept
in hole B-1404C. Hole B-1406C intersected 290 feet grading 0.019
oz/ton ((88.4 metres grading 0.645 g/tonne) from 271-561 feet (
82.6-121 metres), including higher grade intervals as noted
below:

Together the two drill hole intercepts have tested the
approximate center of this portion of the historic resource area*,
as portrayed on the cross section and plan view map posted to the
web site. On the section containing these two core holes the
mineralized zone is approximately 250 feet (76.2 metres) thick, 400
feet (122 metres) wide, lying approximately 100 feet (30.5 metres)
below the surface. Drilling on five other sections, targeting two
inclined holes per section, is underway with the reverse
circulation ("RC") drill to further define this high-grade portion
of the historic resource area* and determine the strike length of
this mineralized zone.
Core Holes B-1402C and
B-1403C
Core holes B-1402C and B-1403C were drilled on the southern end
of the mineralized trend, shown on the plan view map posted on the
Canamex website, and intersected the distal tail of the mineralized
zone as summarized in the following intercept table.

In addition, core hole B-1408C was drilled 100 feet beneath
historic drill hole BRU-094, which intersected 80 feet grading
0.038 oz/ton Au (24.4 metres at 1.31 gm/tonne Au) from 5 to 85 feet
(1.5-24.4 metres). However, we have no descriptions from this
historic hole to place the intercept in a geologic context. Results
from B-1408C are pending.
The results reported above corroborate our interpretation that
there are high-grade zones (cores or roots) within the historic
resource area* that have not been identified or adequately tested
by historic drilling. Continued drilling is needed to define these
zones which are considerably higher in grade than the reported
average grade of the historic resource area*. With ongoing drilling
of this exciting mineralized zone, we continue to develop our
understanding of the host geology, geometry and distribution of
gold mineralization at Bruner, which should allow us to quantify
the gold mineralized zones under NI 43-101 standards for reporting
purposes after sufficient drilling has been completed.
Penelas East
Exploration Drilling
RC drilling commenced April 17th at the Penelas East discovery
area. The current program has been designed to test coincident
VLF-EM and soil geochemical anomalies, one of which outlines the
gold-bearing drill intercepts from 2012 and 2013 in the discovery
area. Those results will be reported separately, when complete
results have been received and interpreted. The core rig has been
moved to the Penelas East discovery area and has completed two
holes that offset core hole B-1341C, which intersected 262 feet
grading 0.044 oz/ton Au (79.9 metres grading 1.509 g/tonne Au).
B-1411C was drilled to test for an up-dip extension of
mineralization, and B-1422C to test for both up-dip and southern
extensions of mineralization. Assays are pending.
Drill core samples are stored on a locked storage facility on
site and are retrieved by ALS Minerals personnel or an independent
contractor and transported in their custody to the ALS Minerals
laboratory in Reno/Sparks, Nevada, where they were photographed,
sawed, sampled, and analyzed by ALS Minerals laboratory for gold
and silver. Duplicates, blanks, and standards were inserted at
regular intervals for QA/QC purposes.
Greg Hahn, President and interim CEO, and a Certified
Professional Geologist (#7122), is the Qualified Person under NI
43-101 responsible for preparing and reviewing the data contained
in this press release.
*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 not in compliance with NI 43-101
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 programs.
