(TSXV: AMX) (“Amex” or the “Corporation”) announces that it has undertaken to complete a non-brokered private placement in the maximum amount of $500,000, through the offering of up to 6,250,000 units priced at $0.08 each. Each unit will consist in one common share and one common share purchase warrant having an exercise price of $0.15 and a term of 18 months.

Funds will be used for exploration work on the on going drilling program on the Perron property and for general working capital purposes.

Certain directors and insiders of Amex are expected to participate in the private placement for an maximum aggregate amount of $75,000. Pursuant to Policy 5.9 of the TSXV and Regulation 61-101 Respecting protection of minority security holders in special transactions ("Rule 61-101"), each of these transactions will constitute a "related party transaction" and as such, minority shareholder approval and a formal valuation may be required.

All securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a 4-month and one day hold period and the transaction remains subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In connection with the private placement, Amex may enter into finder’s fee agreements with qualified persons and may pay a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised through their efforts.
