COMPANY NAME CHANGE AND BRUNER GOLD PROJECT UPDATE
Further to its news release of Oct. 25, 2017, Canamex Gold Corp. has changed its name to Canamex Gold Corp., effective immediately. The company’s trading symbol remains as CSQ on the TSX Venture Exchange. The new Cusip number for the company’s common shares is 13711B108 and the ISIN (international securities identification number) is CA13711B1085. The company’s common shares commenced trading under the new name effective at the opening of trading on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2017. Furthermore, the company is pleased to launch its new website and adopt a new company logo to reflect the name change to Canamex Gold.
Bruner gold project update
The company is pleased to announce that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has recently extended the notice of intent on the Bruner gold project for a further two years, until Oct. 18, 2019. The BLM has also accepted an increased bond amount to drill water well this month. The water well will provide the water for the Bruner gold project’s development path into production.
BLM notice of intent extended
The notice of intent with the BLM has been extended for two years until Oct. 18, 2019. The notice of intent covers surface disturbance for exploration drilling of approximately 2.87 acres. Disturbance under a notice of intent can be up to five acres before a plan of operations is required. The extension allows the company to continue to drill around the Penelas resource area for extensions to that resource, and with additional amendments and increased bonding, to disturb up to the maximum five acres allowed in order to quantify the extent of the Penelas resource and other exploration targets on BLM-administered unpatented mining claims.
Amendment to notice of intent to drill water well
The company was granted water rights for up to 350 gallons per minute of water from the State of Nevada in April, 2014, subject to perfecting that water right by drilling a well before year-end 2017. The company has selected a water well site on unpatented mining claims along the access corridor to the Bruner gold project. The BLM has amended the notice of intent and approved an increased bond amount to cover the surface disturbance and reclamation associated with drilling this well. The amendment and bond have been approved, and the company has entered into an agreement with Harris Exploration Drilling, a licensed water well driller in the state of Nevada, to drill the water well. Drilling is expected to commence in mid-November to late November and be completed by mid-December, 2017. The completion of the well will allow the company to perfect its water right for up to 350 gallons per minute of groundwater. The well will be used to supply water for all additional drilling on the Bruner gold project and, ultimately, should be able to supply makeup water for development of the gold resources on the Bruner gold project.
NV Energy study for delivery of grid power to the Bruner gold project
The company has agreed to enter into an engineering study agreement (ESA) with NV Energy regarding the delivery of grid power from NV Energy’s substation at Gabbs, Nev., located about 20 miles by road from the patented claims of the Bruner gold project, where the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) completed by Welsh Hagen Associates in 2016 had recommended the location of a heap-leach processing site. Two alternatives for delivery of grid power to the Bruner gold project appear to be potentially available to the company, and the ESA will quantify the costs and logistics of the two currently identifiable options.
Updated resource and updated preliminary economic assessment
Welsh Hagen Associates is making steady progress on the updated resource and concurrent updated PEA, with a target completion before year-end 2017. The updated resources and updated PEA will be made public after receipt by the company. This is expected to be next month.
