EurOmax Begins Drilling Newly Developed Targets at Its 100% Controlled KMC Gold-Copper Project, Serbia

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/18/11 -- EurOmax Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: EOX) (PINK SHEETS: EOXFF) ('EurOmax' or, the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has recently commenced core drilling at its 100% controlled Karavansalija Mineralized Centre (KMC) Gold-Copper Project, Serbia. Since acquiring its 100% interest in the project from a major international mining company (see press release date July 26, 2011), EurOmax has undertaken an aggressive geophysical program on the property including comprehensive magnetic and IP/resistivity surveys. The fall 2011 drill program, consisting of 6 holes totalling approximately 2,500 meters has commenced.

--  Magnetic data suggests the presence of at least seven buried intrusive
    centres on the property. Although widespread gold and copper skarn
    mineralization has been revealed in drilling, mineralized porphyry has
    yet to be encountered. One or more such buried intrusions are speculated
    to have generated the vast alteration and extensive mineralization at
    KMC.
--  One pronounced magnetic anomaly lies just a few hundred meters southwest
    of Copper Canyon where the Company has intersected gold and copper-gold
    skarns over an area measuring approximately 1,000 meters east-west and
    500 meters north-south. This target, among others at Copper Canyon, will
    be tested by diamond core drilling over the next two months.
--  Results of twenty-three IP/resistivity lines, encompassing nearly 70 km
    aggregate length, suggest a north-northwest-trending syncline of
    limestone and serpentinites underlies volcanic rocks on the property.
    Magnetic anomalies, interpreted to be buried intrusions, appear to
    follow the axial trend of this syncline. Given this relationship, it is
    hypothesized that fluids from these intrusions may have followed the
    upward projecting limbs of the syncline giving rise to the vast volumes
    of skarn on the property. Some areas display strong chargeability along
    with relatively high resistivity, a common characteristic of porphyry
    mineralization.
--  Diamond drilling recently commenced on targets peripheral to the Copper
    Canyon mineralized zone. Holes in this area will test for additional
    gold and copper-gold skarn mineralization as well as associated porphyry
    mineralization. Hole 1141(see attached map) has been completed to 296
    meters and hole 1142 is in progress. Other new targets may be tested
    before year-end depending on weather conditions. Targets not drilled in
    2011 will be tested once drilling resumes in the spring of 2012.

'We are very pleased with results from our geophysical program at KMC,' comments Dr. Quinton Hennigh, technical advisor to EurOmax. 'We suspect there should be one or more intrusions driving this huge mineralized system, and now we are seeing good evidence from magnetics for at least seven intrusions. Coupled with our IP/resistivity data, which suggests the presence of chargeable disseminated sulphides, we have numerous targets requiring drilling. Our plan is to drill these as aggressively as possible during 2012.'

About KMC

KMC is a large, Tertiary-aged precious and base metal district located in southwest Serbia in an area with excellent infrastructure. To date, several drill holes have identified extensive copper-gold skarn, gold skarn, and gold-bearing siliceous breccias in several locations. The Company believes one or multiple buried porphyry intrusions, perhaps also mineralized, may be the source for these widely occurring mineralized zones. An extensive geophysical program, including approximately 70 km of induced polarization-resistivity lines and magnetics surveys, was completed in September, 2011. The objective of these surveys was to identify such potential mineralized intrusions as well as additional skarn and breccia drill targets on this 42 square kilometer project.

Based upon the results of these geophysical surveys, 2,500 meters of diamond drilling will test new anomalies this fall. Drilling will re-commence in the spring of 2012 to further test new targets.
