May 14, 2012� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � News Release 2012 - 06
Toronto, Canada: (TSX Venture: APM) Amerix Precious Metals Corporation (“Amerix” or the “Company”), is pleased to report that it has entered into an agreement (“the Agreement”), whereby Amerix has optioned adjacent exploration properties (2 property groups) immediately to the west of the Company’s 100% owned Limão Gold Property (“Limão Property”), located in the Tapajós Gold Province, Para State, Brazil. The Company’s geologists believe there is favorable gold exploration potential at these properties, consisting of almost 7000 hectares and located along the Tocantinzinho gold trend of Brazil.
The terms of the Agreement allow for staged payments to the local vendors consisting of cash (Brazilian Reals (“R$”) R$1,000,000) and Amerix common shares (650,000 shares) over 4 years followed by success payments of R$500,000 for positive Feasibility Studies at either of the properties. In the event of a production decision at either of the properties, a payment of R$1,000,000 will be payable upon reaching commercial production. In addition a 1.0% Net Gold Sales Royalty will be payable to the vendors.
The Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and is subject to due diligence by Amerix over a 6 month period.
Amerix plans to investigate the projection of structural features that may extend across these new properties. These structures are believed to control gold mineralization at the adjoining Limão Property. The Company’s exploration team will also be focused upon old surface workings indicated from historical reports on the region. The Company’s work will initially consist of reconnaissance mapping and grab sampling followed by localized geochemical grid sampling in areas of interest.
Amerix has recently contracted Energold Perfurações Ltda, of Brazil to complete a drill program at the Limão Property. Drilling is expected to begin over the next few weeks. Amerix’s exploration programs at the Limão Property have delineated multiple, anomalous gold geochemical zones with three zones outlined in an earlier press release (News Release-2012-05 dated April 18, 2012) to be tested in this initial drill campaign.
Mr. Ryan Grywul, P. Geo., Vice President, Corporate Development for Amerix, and a qualified person as defined in National Policy 43-101 is responsible for all technical information contained in this news release.
Amerix is excited by the potential of the Limão Gold Property and these adjacent concessions located in the historically gold rich Tapajós district of Brazil.
