/CNW/ -

Callinex Mines Inc.

(the "Company" or "Callinex") (TSXV: CNX) (OTCQX:

CLLXF) is pleased to announce that it has appointed metallurgists Dr.

Peter Kondos

and Dr. Yeonuk Choi to the

Company's Technical Team. Peter and Yeonuk have collectively over 70 years of experience spanning multiple

jurisdictions and deposit styles with a core expertise in the development of groundbreaking applications to the

metallurgical recovery of gold, silver and strategic minerals. The duo, who co-founded YaKum Consulting Inc.

("YaKum"), have reviewed and outlined opportunities to advance the Pt.

Leamington

deposit (the "Deposit") and

create immediate value to the Deposit as the Company advances the project moving forward. They will oversee

mineralogical and metallurgical testwork at Pt.

Leamington

and other Callinex deposits through the next stages of

development.

Max Porterfield

, President & CEO of Callinex Mines stated, "We are honored to have Dr. Kondos and Dr. Choi

joined our team and moving forward will oversee testwork on the

Point Leamington

and other deposits Callinex

possesses as they move through the next stages of development, given the Deposit

has a considerable gold

resource in addition to copper, zinc and silver. Peter and Yeonuk are the perfect additions to our team with a

proven track record of being creative innovators at the forefront of new technology to drive value out of significant

deposits for some of the true giants of the mining industry."

Dr.

Peter Kondos

, CEO of YaKum and member of Callinex's Technical Team commented, "I'm excited to get to

work on the Pt.

Leamington

deposit and the rest of Callinex's exciting deposits as they are advanced. After,

thoughtful review of the Pt.

Leamington

we have outlined several key opportunities to refine the recovery of gold

and other metals within the deposit economically."

Dr. Yeonuk Choi, President and Chief Technology Officer of YaKum and member of Callinex's Technical Team

added, "The Pt.

Leamington

deposit, and others that Callinex possesses, hold significant potential to obtain good

recoveries of all the metals with a keen interest on its gold endowment. Given that the deposit has had very

limited metallurgical work historically coupled with advancements of new technologies in recovery of metals we

see significant opportunity to add value moving forward."

Collectively, their accomplishments and accolades include:

MetSoc Innovation Award (2016) by the Metallurgy and Materials Society of the Canadian Institute for Mining

for successfully developing a thiosulfate leaching circuit to treat double-refractory ore at Barrick's Goldstrike

mine in

Nevada

that can't be treated using conventional processes.

MetSoc Innovation Award (2019) where, as part of Barrick's team, they developed and commercialized the Hot

Cure and Lime Boiling Process to recover silver from the pressure oxidation process.

Oversaw the design and construction of Barrick's Pueblo Viejo Mine plant with transformational, proprietary

technologies

The combination of research and innovation with practical experience in mining technology has allowed them to

receive more than 10 patents and published over 50 times for unique, innovative solutions, such as various non-

cyanide gold leaching systems that reduce environmental risk.

Both have held senior roles with Barrick, Noranda, Korea Zinc,

Falconbridge

, Inco, Cyclic Materials among

others.

Dr. Kondos and Dr. Choi serve as adjunct professors at the

University of Toronto

and Queen's University,

respectively.
