"I was quite attracted to CANEX as it has the potential for a higher-grade oxide gold deposit with scale in the great jurisdiction of Arizona. It also has many of the other attributes I look for in a junior exploration company; Canex Metals has a solid geological team led by Dr. Shane Ebert, a strong capital markets advisor in Gordon Fernandes and augmented today by the addition of Blair Shultz to the board of directors and is complimented by a highly concentrated and supportive shareholder base. Finally, CANEX trades currently at a very modest valuation, this financing announced today will allow them to aggressively advance their Gold Range discovery and highlight its potential to the market" - Michael Gentile, CFA

Dr. Shane Ebert, President of Canex Metals, stated, "We are delighted to have Michael involved in CANEX, his support is a strong endorsement of the potential of our new gold discovery at the Gold Range Project in Northern Arizona and this strategic relationship will contribute to the success of the project for the benefit of all shareholders.

We welcome Blair Schultz to our Board of Directors, his extensive knowledge of capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and junior exploration company management will be a great addition for the Company. Blair has worked on projects throughout Arizona and Nevada and his knowledge of operating in the Western USA and strong networks will be a tremendous asset in moving the Company forward."

With this financing completed, CANEX will be fully funded and will look to commence a large drill program that will seek to test the continuity of the 3.2 kilometer long by up to 500 meter wide oxide gold mineralized corridor at Gold Range. To date results from 68 drill holes have been received from the Gold Range project confirming oxide gold mineralization at 3 zones along the corridor. Recent soil and rock sampling has further expanded the target zones and has identified several parallel zones that remain to be drill tested. CANEX is waiting on the results of 28 reverse circulation drill holes.

Terms of Financing

CANEX is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 19,230,769 units ("Common Units") at a price of $0.13 per Common Unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000. The amount of the financing will not be subject to increase.

Each Common Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.18 per share for a period of two years following closing.

The shares will be offered on a non-brokered basis by way of private placement to accredited investors and any securities issued will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of closing. This financing is subject to TSX Venture Exchange and regulatory approval.

The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the subject matter of the Private Placement does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
