Marketwired Canada
Amerix Precious Metals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:APM)(FRANKFURT:NJGN) ('Amerix' or 'the
Company') is pleased to announce that in its initial two drill holes, the
Company has intercepted a significant zone of gold mineralization occurring in
potassic altered and pyrite rich syenite intrusive rocks, at the Company's 100%
owned Limao Gold Property, located in the Tapajos Gold Province, Para State,
Brazil. The first hole LDH-01, drilled at an azimuth of 12 degrees and an angle
of -60 degrees, intersected 12.67 metres grading 14.04 grams gold per tonne,
from 28.33 to 41 metres down hole. The second hole LDH-02, drilled from the same
drill platform at an azimuth of 72 degrees and an angle of -77 degrees,
intersected 40.4 metres grading 3.51 grams gold per tonne, from 36.6 metres to
77 metres down hole and 3.32 metres grading 2.58 grams gold per tonne from 84 to
87.32 metres. Due to the early stage of the program and the nature of the
mineralization, the Company's geologists suspect that this mineralized zone may
be irregular in shape and true widths will be established as the drilling
progresses. Holes have been drilled below LDH-01 and above LDH-02 to test the
vertical continuity of the gold mineralization and the Company is awaiting assay
results for those holes.

Amerix Chairman, Jeff Reeder states, "I have been intrigued by the syenite
hosted gold mineralization identified around the old, water filled Limao Pit. We
have finally been able to drill test our ideas and these first drill holes at
Limao give us a great start to our program. The gold intersected at Limao is
unique and we believe it represents a type of gold mineralization previously
unrecognized in the region." Amerix has begun its drill campaign at the
Company's Central Grid where it is drilling the Limao Pit target that has been
defined by a northwest trending gold in soil anomaly (See Amerix News Release
2012-07, dated May 22, 2012). In addition, the Company has plans to drill test
other high priority gold targets that have been identified by the 2011-12
programs of geochemical surveys, mapping, and sampling of old artisanal gold
workings. Energold Perfuracoes Ltda, of Brazil is conducting the program with a
single portable drill rig under the supervision of the Company's P. Geo. and
Vice President of Corporate Development, Ryan Grywul.
Company President and CEO, Steve Brunelle reports, "Amerix has assembled a
significant exploration property in excess of 18,000 hectares, centred at the
Limao concessions. The Company has recently optioned the ground adjacent to the
west and has been methodically adding key properties. We are hopeful that our
model of syenite intrusive rocks either hosting, or proximal to significant gold
mineralization, can be further verified as we continue our drilling. Amerix has
assembled a great team of people to support the Company's exploration efforts
here at Limao in the Tapajos district of Brazil."
Amerix will be posting results from the drill program at the Company's website
(www.amerixcorp.com). A photo gallery of the Limao Gold Property is also
available at the website.
Diamond drilling is accompanied by a quality assurance and quality control
program that is managed by Amerix's geologists and includes industry standard
documentation during data collection, reporting, and down hole azimuth and angle
surveys. Drill core sample intervals were selected based on geological and
mineralogical changes in the rock and averaged near 1-metre sample length within
mineralized intervals and the immediate wall rock using sample lengths that
ranged from a minimum of 0.5 metres to a maximum of 1.5 metres. NTW size rock
drill core was split in half using a diamond saw preserving half of the split
core for reference and half to be sent for gold analysis. Standard references,
blanks, and quartered drill core duplicates were also inserted into the sample
stream prior to transport. All samples were delivered to Acme Laboratories
preparation facility in Itaituba, Brazil where the samples were crushed,
pulverized, split, and shipped to Acme's Santiago, Chile laboratory for fire
assay gold on a 30 gram split. Samples analyzing greater than 10 grams per tonne
gold, or over the fire assay detection limit, were automatically re-analyzed for
gold by gravimetric gold analysis. Both Acme Itaituba and Acme Santiago are
registered under International Standards Organization's ISO 9001:2008 quality
control program. The Company utilizes a chain of custody program overseen by its
geologists concerning sample transport from the Limao property to Acme's
Itaituba preparation facility.
Mr. Ryan Grywul, P. Geo., and Vice President, Corporate Development for Amerix,
and a qualified person as defined in National Policy 43-101 is responsible for
