VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 2, 2010) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Canamex Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CSQ.H) Canamex announces that it has entered into a property option agreement dated May 28, 2010 (the Option Agreement) with Provex Resources Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which Canamex has been granted, subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange, an exclusive right and option to acquire up to a 75% interest in and to certain patented and unpatented mineral claims located in Nye County, Nevada (known as the Bruner Property). Provex is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Patriot Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation whose shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. 

In order to earn an undivided 70% interest in the Bruner Property (the Initial Option), Canamex must complete a total of US$6,000,000 in expenditures (the Expenditures) on the Bruner Property in stages over a seven year period, US$200,000 of which is a firm commitment that must be completed within the first year. After expending the initial US$200,000 on the Bruner Property, Canamex shall be under no further obligation if it elects not to proceed with this option. Upon exercising the Initial Option by Canamex completing all Expenditures, the parties will enter into a joint venture agreement, and Canamex can then acquire a further 5% undivided interest in the Bruner Property, bringing its total undivided interest to 75%, by producing a Bankable Feasibility Study (as defined in the Option Agreement) on the Bruner Property.

Pursuant to a Property Option Agreement dated July 25, 2003 between MinQuest Inc., a private company 50% of the shares of which are owned by Herb Duerr, a director of Canamex, and Patriot Gold Corp., Minquest shall retain the 3% net smelter returns royalty which it currently has in the Bruner Property. Mr. Duerr is also President of both Patriot Gold and Provex, and he owns 12,500 shares of Patriot Gold, representing 0.04% of the current issued shares of that company.

The Bruner Property

Canamex contracted Paul D. Noland (B.Sc., P. Geo) to prepare an NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Bruner Property (the Report), which will be SEDAR filed shortly. The following was extracted from the Report, which should be read in its entirety for a full understanding of the Bruner Property.

The Bruner Property is located in central Nevada about 130 miles east-southeast of Reno and 25 miles north-northeast of Gabbs in Nye County. The property comprises 26 patented claims and 2 mill sites covering approximately 560 acres and 59 unpatented lode claims covering approximately 1180 acres. The property is owned by Provex and the unpatented claims forming part of the Bruner Property were acquired by Patriot Gold pursuant to an option agreement with MinQuest, which will retain its 3% net smelter returns royalty on the property. Patriot Gold controls the patented claims through an option to purchase agreement with American International Ventures Inc., a Delaware corporation whose shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Patriot Gold has kept all of the claims in good standing, and has expended approximately US$210,000 in the past three year period.

Geology:

The Report states that the Bruner Property is located at the northern end of the Paradise Range, a generally east-tilted fault block composed chiefly of Tertiary age volcanic rocks unconformably overlying folded and thrust-faulted Permian to Mesozoic age rocks. Tertiary age tuffs, represent the oldest rocks in the district and are intruded by dominantly silicic domes, plugs and irregularly shaped bodies of igneous rock.

Mineralization:

Hydrothermal activity in the district produced widespread argillic alteration and zones of strong silicification in a northwest-trending area approximately three miles long and over one mile wide. Within the altered area are more intensely altered quartz-adularia zones hosting the old mine workings. Higher gold values are found in the Duluth and Paymaster areas. Silver and arsenic anomalies roughly outline the know areas of mineralization. Gold in rock chips and soils outline an anomalous area larger in extent than the currently drill tested areas.

Resource Estimations:

Several past workers have compiled resource estimations at the Bruner Property. These were done utilizing differing methods and different data sets. For detail of these different resource estimates, refer to the 'Mineral Resource Estimation' section of the Report, and Table 7, Bruner Gold Resource. Because these are historic estimates, none of these resource estimates were intended to be NI 43-101 compliant, and they did not adhere to NI 43-101 standards or definitions. They are in the Report to illustrate the exploration potential of the Bruner Property and the district. 

Perhaps the most thorough of the historic resource estimates was that of Schilling (1991). Schilling compiled a resource estimate utilizing all available drilling at the time, as well as detailed underground channel sampling, and surface sampling where appropriate. His resource for the Bruner Property was reported at 15M tons at an average grade of 0.026 oz/ton Au, for a contained resource of 383,114 ounces of gold. A summary of Schilling's resource calculations is provided in Appendix I of the Report.

Canamex does not have the original data used to prepare the resource calculations and has not completed the necessary work to have the historical resource estimate verified by a Qualified Person. Canamex is not treating the estimate as a current NI 43-101 defined resource. The historical estimate should not be relied upon.

Exploration Concept:

The exploration concept for the Bruner Property is to drill verify the known resource area and untested extensions of a Round Mountain style deposit (bulk mineable, heap leachable) and also for a potential high grade (+10 g/t Au) Ken Snyder type deposit at depth (refer to the Report for details). Drilling will eventually extend to the southeast where several old drill holes hit +10g/t gold values.

Status of Exploration:

The Report sets out that Gold was initially discovered in the Bruner District in 1906 when surface showings of gold telluride were found at the Paymaster mine (Kral, 1951). Schilling (1991) has compiled a detailed history of the district's development, which can be summarized in six periods of exploration and mining activity (refer to the Report for historical details), most recently with drilling, surface mapping and sampling and underground mapping being undertaken by Patriot Gold from 2005 to 2009.

Canamex intends to design exploration-evaluation programs to (a) confirm and expand past drilling results which suggest a near surface, bulk mineable resource, and (b) evaluate the potential for a Round Mountain style disseminated resource or a Ken Snyder style feeder system at depth. Phase I will involve 'twinning' of previous drill holes, drilling the possible northwest and southeast extensions of the resource and deeper drilling to test the geologic models described in the Report. Drilling previous to Patriot Gold's involvement was not documented sufficiently to meet current NI 43-101 standards for record keeping. Consequently, although there is no reason to suspect the reported results from these earlier programs such as Newmont's is anything less than accurate and reliable, these data may not be utilized for a NI 43-101 resource estimation. Canamex intends to 'twin' several of the critical drill holes from historic efforts. If results from these 'twins' duplicate earlier results, then most of the historic drilling may be confirmed and thus utilized for an updated resource estimation. Additional drilling by Canamex will then be oriented to best intercept the two principal vein directions in the district, north-south and northwest. Phase I will emphasize enlarging the open-pit, bulk minable resource at Bruner. However, some deep drilling is planned to explore for a Ken Snyder or Bullfrog type deposit. Phase II would focus on follow up of any favorable results from Phase I. Total estimated expenditures for completion of Phase I are US$200,000. Phase II expenditures and activities will be contingent on results from Phase I.
