Canamex Granted Subsurface Water Right for Bruner Gold Project, Nevada

Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / January 15, 2015 / Canamex Resources Corp. (the "Company") (TSX-V: CSQ) (OTCQX: CNMXF) (FSE: CX6) announces that the Nevada Division of Water Resources has granted Canamex, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Canamex Resources US, Inc. ("Canamex US"), a subsurface water right for the Bruner Gold Project located in Nye County, Nevada.

The water right application for beneficial use, submitted in April 2014, has been approved by the State Engineer of Nevada, and Canamex (through Canamex US) has been granted a water right for mining purposes for 0.78 cubic feet per second, or 350 gpm (gallons per minute), on the west side of the Bruner property. This, when coupled with the 0.10 cubic feet per second (50 gpm) that comes with the patented ground and the well location on the east side of the property, provides the Company a total of 400 gpm beneficial use for mining purposes. This should be sufficient water for development of up to an 8,000 tpd initial heap leach operation.

The Company has to complete a well at the permitted location by December 30, 2016 in order to perfect the water right, and then place the well into beneficial use by December 30, 2017. Canamex plans to develop the water rights to be able to support the ongoing exploration drilling effort in advance project development. The Company has permitted a new well site with the BLM for the well that covers the existing water right, and will commence permitting of a well site that goes with the recently granted water right announced herein. The reclamation bond requirement for the new well site at the old water right is $1400, and has to be posted before water well drilling begins. It is assumed the reclamation bond for the well site to perfect the new water right will be similar.


Statement by President Greg Hahn

"The Issuance of sufficient water rights for an initial heap leach operation at Bruner follows the Company's plan of anticipating development needs for the project and paralleling resource development and project development to facilitate moving the project forward expeditiously at the appropriate time" stated Greg Hahn, President and COO.

Meanwhile the Company is progressing preparation of its maiden resource report which is expected to be available before the end of the first quarter 2015. The maiden resource report will cover resources at the historic resource area*, and resources developed at the new Penelas East discovery and the new Paymaster zone.

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.

* 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 Corp. in 1993. The 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.
