Canamex Reports Progress at Aranka North Property

VANCOUVERBC - Canamex Resources Corp. reported progress at its Aranka North gold exploration project in Guyana, South America. CEO Greg Hahn returned from an intensive working tour of the Aranka North property, having accomplished three main objectives: examination and initial mapping of the geology in the four discrete anomalous areas identified by the gold in stream sediment anomalies. assessment of the current follow-up stream sediment sampling program, which is focused on the highest priority anomalous area where gold is identified in stream sediments across an area of approximately 25 square kilometers from no less than five separate drainages; and planning the next phase of exploration in the headwaters of the anomalous gold drainages, using grid soil sampling methodology.

"Our Aranka North property is a bit unique among known gold projects in Guyana, in that there is only a thin saprolite soil cover over the bedrock," states CEO Hahn. "I was able to map bedrock geology on a reconnaissance basis, which is unheard of in the interior of the country, where bedrock is generally overlain by 10s to 100s of meters of alluvium, deep saprolitic soils, and often capped by laterite. This is an ideal environment for soil sampling."

Prior to his departure from Guyana, Hahn delivered 130 stream sediment and pan concentrate samples to the prep lab in Georgetown, for ultimate assaying at Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada. Hahn continues, "We were getting visible gold in both the pan concentrate and -100 mesh stream sediment samples in a number of locations, so we are looking forward to receiving assay results as quickly as possible.
