Canamex Intersects 360 Feet of 0.119 Oz/Ton Gold (118 Meters of 4.08 G/Tonne) Including 5 Feet of 3.864 Oz/Ton (1.6 Meters of 132.5 g/t) at Bruner Gold Project, Nevada
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/18/12 -- Canamex Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CSQ)(OTCQX: CNMXF)(FRANKFURT: CX6) is very pleased to announce what is believed to be the best intercept ever drilled at the Bruner Gold Project, Nye County, Nevada. Drill hole B-1201 intersected 360 feet grading 0.119 oz/ton (118.11 meters of 4.08 gpt) Au between 290-650 feet, including 5 feet grading 3.864 oz/ton (1.64 meters of 132.5 gpt) Au between 455-460 feet. In addition, the drill hole intersected 55 feet grading 0.045 opt Au between 180-235 feet located above the thicker and higher-grade 360 foot intercept. Mineralization at this depth could be accessible by open pit.
Highlights of the First Hole of the 2012 Summer Drilling Program
The intercept in B-1201 is comprised of multiple chalcedonic and quartz veinlets, breccias with varied clast types, and strong iron oxides and clays. It is completely oxidized to the total depth of 820 feet. The mineralized zone appears to be steeply dipping and roughly 200 feet wide (true width). The drill intercepts are summarized in the following table, and the complete table of results appears at the end of this release.

The high-grade intercept at 455-460 feet is being re-assayed to verify the gold and silver values.
CEO Greg Hahn Comments
Chairman and CEO Greg Hahn comments, "This drill hole intercept opens up a new exploration area and deposit type within the Bruner property. The grade and thickness exceed anything in the historical data base or drilled previously by the Company, and indicates the potential for a deposit of significant size and grade may be present on the property. The intercept is open in almost all directions, and the presence of high gold values, breccias, and hydrothermal quartz and textures indicates a very robust hydrothermal system is represented by the intercepts in drill hole B-1201."
Six Hole 2012 Summer Drilling Program
A total of six holes were drilled in this summer's drilling campaign, each targeted to intersect the heart of the mineralized zone roughly 100 feet distant from the other. Results from these holes will be announced as they are received and are expected to be released on a one-a-week basis going forward.
Column Leach Tests
Meanwhile column leach tests continue on the bulk sample from the historic resource area on the Bruner property where gold extractions have achieved 81% and 76% on -3/4" and -3" crush material respectively in 40 days, based upon bottle roll cyanide leach and calculated head grade analyses, and leaching of gold in both columns continues.
Quality Control
Drill samples were transported by a third party consulting geologist from the drill rig and stored in a locked storage unit and retrieved by ALS-Chemex personnel, transported in their custody to the ALS-Chemex laboratory in Reno/Sparks, Nevada, where they were dried, crushed, and split, and representative splits sent to the ALS-Chemex laboratory in Vancouver for gold and silver analyses. Duplicates, blanks, and standards were inserted at regular intervals for QA/QC purposes.
Greg Hahn, Certified Professional Geologist (#7122) is the Qualified Person who has prepared and reviewed this press release in accordance with NI 43-101 reporting standards.
