CANEX METALS INC. RECEIVES EXPLORATION PERMITS FOR GIBSON,

TRENCHING TO COMMENCE

CANEX Metals Inc. (“CANEX” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the Company has received

exploration permits for the Gibson gold-silver project in British Columbia. The permits allow the

Company to excavate up to 10 trenches and construct and drill from 6 drill pads at Gibson. A

reclamation bond of $10,000 has been posted as part of the Gibson exploration permit.

The Company will mobilize a crew and equipment to Gibson next week to commence Phase 1

trenching which will focus on uncovering and extending the known high-grade gold and silver targets.

The trenching program is expected to take up to 3 weeks. Exposed mineralization will be mapped and

sampled with assay results expected by late September.

If Phase 1 successfully uncovers high-grade gold and silver mineralization the zones would be drill

tested later in the year during a Phase 2 drill program.

The Gibson Prospect

The Gibson prospect is 887 hectares in size and located in central British Columbia, approximately 95

kilometres northwest of Fort St. James. The area is accessible via a network of all weather logging

roads. Gibson contains mesothermal gold-silver mineralization hosted in highly altered volcanic rocks

adjacent to the Hogem Batholith. The zone was discovered and explored by Noranda Exploration

Company from 1989 to 1991. Following soil sampling and induced polarization geophysical surveys

Noranda exposed precious metal mineralization in hand trenches with surface samples returning 12.86

g/t gold and 144.7 g/t silver over 1.5 meters and 5.35 g/t gold and 2136 g/t silver over 1.7 meters.

Noranda subsequently drilled 9 holes with 8 of the 9 holes intersecting significant gold and silver

mineralization. The best drill intercept returned 4.26 metres grading 6.77 g/t gold and 1828 g/t silver.

No follow up trenching or drilling has been conducted at Gibson since the highly successful Noranda

program and the mineralized zone appears to be about 4.5 metres wide and at least 400 metres long

and remains open in all directions.

The Noranda hand trenching and drill results are reported in BC Assessment report 21762 for Noranda

Exploration Company by Stewart and Walker 1991. This drilling was done prior to NI 43-101 and

should be considered historic in nature. The results have not been verified by CANEX and should not

be relied upon.
