CANEX EXTENDS BULK TONNAGE POTENTIAL AT GOLD RANGE
DRILLS 21.3 METRES GRADING 0.6 G/T GOLD
150 METERS WEST OF INITIAL DISCOVERY
Calgary, Alberta - CANEX Metals Inc. (“CANEX” or the “Company” ) is pleased to announce
assay results for holes GR20-10 to 14 from the recent reverse circulation drilling program at the
Company’s Gold Range Project, Arizona.
Highlights
- Hole GR20-13 intersected 0.6 g/t gold over 21.3 metres including 1.2 g/t gold over 7.6
metres starting 10.7 metres downhole.
- Hole GR20-9 (previously released) located 150 metres west of hole GR20-13, intersected
0.9 g/t gold over 27.4 metres , while hole 8 from the same pad intersected 0.5 g/t
gold over 24.4 metres plus a deeper zone of 0.2 g/t gold over 25.9 metres, and
combined these 3 holes demonstrate potential for a significant near surface bulk tonnage
target in the area.
- Holes GR20-12 and 13 intersected mineralized and highly anomalous gold over a 50 to
75 metre wide interval in a zone that is interpreted to underly the shallow dipping
mineralization intersected in holes GR20 -8 and 9. The combined thickness of th e
prospective zone showing heap leach potential could be 80 metres or more.
- The gold bearing drill holes sit within a 200 metre wide by 600 metre long gold in soil
anomaly with an overlapping magnetic low that remains wide open for testing.
Dr. Shane Ebert, President of the Company stated, “Hole GR20-13 is a significant near surface
intercept that remains open to the north and west, and correlates well with the initial discovery
made in hole GR20 -9 located 150 metres to the east. The mineralized intercept in hole 13 is
interpreted to sit below the zone intersected in holes 8 and 9, and if this interpretation is correct,
the area has excellent potential to host a significant near surface oxidized gold deposit”.
“Further work is required to understand the extent, continuity, controls, and significance of this
bulk tonnage type target. We are very pleased that our phase 1 drill program has identified two
promising exploration targets for follow up, the previously released drill results at the Pit
Extension Target returning 5.9 g/t gold over 4.6 metres, and now and bulk tonnage potential

coming together in the southern part of the claim block at the Eldorado and Contact target
areas”.
Contact Target
The Contact Target and the Eldorado Targets appear to be part of the same mineralized system
and soils and magnetic data suggest the zone is at least 200 metres wide and 600 to 1000
metres long. Holes GR20-12 and GR20-13 were drilled into the Contact Target to test a zone
of strong gold in soils and gold in surface rock samples. Both holes were drilled from the same
pad and oriented to the south, with hole 12 drilled at a -48 degree angle and hole 13 drilled at a
-70 degree angle. Holes GR20-10 and 11 tested the East Eldorado vein located 500 metres
east of holes 12 and 13. Both holes intersected anomalous gold over much of their lengths .
Hole GR20-14 was drilled at the Central Zone, 2 kilometres to the northeast, partially testing a
large gold in soil anomaly. The hole intersected widespread anomalous gold with one interval
returning 1.3 g/t gold over 1.52 metres. The Central Zone remains largely untested.
A drill hole location map and cross section for holes GR20-8,9,12 and 13 are available here.

The Company is working on plans for a second phase of exploration drilling that will focus on
understanding and defining the newly recognized bulk tonnage target at Gold Range.
Mineralized intervals from holes 8, 9, and 13 with be re-analyzed for gold using a cyanide leach
extraction to better understand the heap leach potential of the target.
Quality Control
Reverse circulation drill cuttings were collected in numbered cloth sample bags from 5 foot
(1.52m) intervals during drilling and shipped to Skyline Assayers and Laboratories in Tucson,
Arizona (which is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) for analyses. A 1000g pul p was prepared and
gold was assayed using a 50g fire assay with an atomic absorption finish (method FA-01-50g).
All gold samples greater than 5 g/t were redone using a 50g fire assay method with a gravimetric
finish (method FA -02 50g). Twenty -four additional elements were analyzed using a multi acid
digestion and inductively coupled plasma (method TE -4). The Company included certified
reference standards, blanks, and duplicates in every sample batch and then checked to ensure
proper quality assurance and quality control.
About the Gold Range Property
The Gold Range Property is located in Northern Arizona within an area that has seen historic
lode and placer gold production but limited modern gold exploration. Systematic fieldwork by

the Company , including geological mapping, structural analyses, airborne geoph ysics, and
surface rock and soil sampling has identified multiple gold exploration targets that are interpreted
to be part of the same large mineralizing event. The Company is in the process of completing
a maiden drill program on the property focused on testing several advanced targets and gaining
valuable information on the mineralized system. Please visit our website at
