VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 21, 2013) - Canamex Resources Corp. (the "Company") (News - Market indicators)(OTCQX:CNMXF)(FRANKFURT:CX6) is pleased to announce additional drill intercepts from its 2013 reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Bruner gold project, Nye County, Nevada.

The Company has received results from holes B-1317 through B-1320, which were drilled to test the northern extension of the high-grade structure at the Penelas East target and encountered in hole B-1316, reported previously (see news release July 17, 2013). Drill hole B-1319 intersected a high-grade structure at 635-640 feet grading 30.7 GPT Au (0.900 OPT) within a wider zone averaging 7.2 GPT Au over 9.1 meters (0.210 OPT over 30 feet) between 630-660 feet. A re-run on the interval 635-640 feet using gravimetric methods returned 32.9 GPT Au (0.960 OPT). The hole was terminated at 660 feet, so the full width of this mineralized zone has not yet been tested. These intercepts confirm continuation of significant gold mineralization to the north of previously drilled intercepts at the Penelas East target.

A complete table of summary assay results follows:

Project geologists have not determined the attitude of all of the mineralized intercepts, and therefore cannot determine the true width of any of the reported intercepts at this time.

Company President and COO Greg Hahn Comments

"We continue to intersect stockwork gold mineralization in all holes drilled into the Penelas East target. There appears to be a lower grade stockwork zone surrounding the high-grade structure(s), which should allow for considering open pit mining of this gold zone".

Penelas East Drilling Continues

Meanwhile the RC drilling program has been focused on drilling the southern extension of the Penelas East target area, following up on the high grade intercept in hole B-1301 completed and reported earlier in the year (see news release dated April 23, 2013). This drilling is in progress and results will be reported when the two three-hole fans are completed, and results interpreted. Future drilling will test northern and southern extensions to the gold mineralization, as well as further characterize the gold bearing zones.

Core Drilling to Commence in September

A core drilling program for the Bruner project is planned to begin in September, and three core holes are planned to drill into the high-grade zone(s) at Penelas East to help refine the geology and attempt to resolve the several possible geological interpretations.

Geological Interpretation

The high-grade interval in B-1319 falls west of the projected contact of a steeply dipping, north-westerly striking mafic dike that was intersected higher in this hole and in several nearby holes and mapped on surface. The high-grade interval in hole B-1316 was intersected closer to but still on the west side of the mafic dike. Several possible interpretations of the geology are being considered to explain the location of these two intercepts. These include: 1) they are the same north-trending structure offset several hundred feet across the trace of a fault that the mafic dike intrudes, 2) they are sub-parallel to parallel high-grade structures, for which we have very few drill hole intercepts on the deeper structure, 3) they are en-echelon structures offset slightly from one another due to the nature of the fracturing of the host silicified rhyolite, and 4) this is a high grade structure that trends more northwesterly than northerly as previously thought and the two intercepts are from the same northwesterly trending structure.

The previous holes intersected possible strike extensions of the mineralized zone on the east side of the mafic dike, but did not go deep enough to fully test the possible extensions of the zone encountered in B-1319 on the west side of the mafic dike. Further drilling at the northern extension of the Penelas East target will be planned to test both possible mineralized structures.

Quality Control

Drill samples are stored on a locked storage facility on site until retrieved by ALS-Chemex personnel, then 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 analyses. Duplicates, blanks, and standards were inserted at regular intervals for QA/QC purposes.
