NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES

Refined Corporate Focus

Appointment of Director

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - June 14, 2012) - EurOmax Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:EOX) (PINKSHEETS:EOXFF) ("EurOmax" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced private placement of 42,000,666 common shares, which shares are subject to a four month hold period expiring on October 13, 2012, at a price of $0.15 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $6.3 million. Further to this, EurOmax is pleased to provide guidance on a refined corporate focus for the Company.

As previously announced on May 22, 2012, the Board of Directors (the "Board") has been strengthened and a new management team appointed, including Martyn Konig as Non-Executive Chairman, Steve Sharpe as President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Varshan Gokool as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). The Company is now pleased to announce that Tim Morgan-Wynne was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director following the close of the private placement. (See Appendix)


Commenting on today's announcement, Steve Sharpe, President & CEO of the Company said:

"I am delighted that we have kept the core of the ex-European Goldfields management team together. The commitment to the private placement is a strong endorsement of the quality of the Company's resource base, its development potential and the ability of management to drive the company forward with a view to ultimately filling the space in the European gold sector recently vacated by European Goldfields."


Refined Corporate Focus

The Company believes that with the strengthened Board and new management team in place it now has an enviable skill set with which to implement a re-focusing of the Company as a gold exploration and development Company. Commensurate with this, the Company plans to implement the following key steps:

- Concentrating the Company's primary attention on the development of its Ilovitza copper-gold Project in Macedonia by upgrading the currently estimated resource, progressing the permitting of the project and building upon the work undertaken to date in advancing the Project towards a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS");

- The establishment of a new London corporate office, the assessment of both a move to the senior board of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and a listing on the London Stock Exchange ("LSE"); \

- Following the completion of the drill program at its Trun gold Project in Bulgaria, to advance the Project through the Commercial Discovery Certificate permitting process; and

- Completion of the current drilling program at Karavansalija Mineralized Centre ("KMC") in Serbia.

Having estimated the additional funding required for the implementation of these steps, the Company is pleased to have closed the private placement which fulfills this funding requirement. The private placement was more than fully subscribed by the incoming Directors and management team, the Company's largest institutional shareholder, senior members of the former European Goldfields board of directors and notable mining industry executives.


Ilovitza Infill Drilling & Advancement to Pre-Feasibility (Macedonia)

The funding allows the Company to complete an infill drill program at its Ilovitza Project as a first step towards advancing the copper-gold asset through to a PFS. Mobilization of rigs has commenced on an infill drill program aimed at upgrading more of the existing resource estimate into the measured and indicated categories. The infill drill program, in conjunction with additional metallurgical test work and further engineering and design analysis is expected to provide the basis for a PFS for Ilovitza, with a target completion date of mid 2013.


Trun update (Bulgaria)

Following the recent completion of drilling at Trun, the Company is progressing the analysis of assay and metallurgical data and anticipates submitting the necessary applications to begin the formal Commercial Discovery Certificate permitting process during the second half of 2012. This process will involve detailed technical and other analyses, and the completion of an Environmental Impact Study and public consultation.


KMC update (Serbia)

At KMC, an 8,000 m drill program is well underway, targeting the submerged intrusions that were identified by a geophysical survey in 2011 and the Company is targeting a maiden National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate for KMC in 2013.


New Management Team & Corporate Development

The new management team has a proven and successful track record of experience in all the required areas of development, permitting and financing of assets in the region and is therefore well placed to drive development forward. The Company believes that this corporate and financial team will complement its already strong locally based, technical teams in Macedonia, Bulgaria and Serbia, which are led by Dimitar Dimitrov, Senior Vice President Exploration.

The Company also intends to assess and analyze the costs and benefits of a move onto the senior board of the TSX and a listing on the LSE, so as to enable European based institutions to participate in ownership of the Company. The Company is in the process of engaging with global financial institutions to assist in this analysis.
