Amerix Reports on Carumbe Gold Project, Brazil ACR 34 returns 2.8 m @ 40.3 g/t Au 10:30 EDT Monday, April 16, 2007 TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - April 16, 2007) - Amerix Precious Metals Corporation ("Amerix")(TSX VENTURE:APM)(FRANKFURT:NJG) today reported preliminary results from the Carumbe Gold Project, located within the Vila Porto Rico Exploration License in the Tapajos Gold Province in Brazil. The Carumbe project is located 15 km north-northwest of the Company's flagship Ouro Roxo project. During 2006, the Company completed 6 angle core holes totalling 1146.69 metres at Carumbe. The drilling tested historic and active gold mining activities located along fault splays off the regional scale Ouro Roxo-Cantagalo fault zone. The 2006 drilling program was completed adjacent to the Carumbe open pit, using three drill pads, located 100 metres apart. Each drill pad was used for two drill holes, which were drilled at -50 degrees and -70 degrees from the horizontal, along a northwesterly orientation. Two holes have been sampled and assayed. Four holes will be re-examined and additional sampling will be completed. The following contains a summary of the assay results from the program (see attached map): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Drill Hole Inclination N-S Depth: Intercept - (ACR) Section From - To (m) Au g/t ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 33 -50 5020N 114.0 - 115.0 1.0 m @ 6.1 g/t ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 34 -70 5020N 212.18 - 214.50 2.8 m @ 40.3 g/t ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 35 -50 5115N Assays Pending ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 36 -70 5115N Assays Pending ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 37 -50 4960N Assays Pending ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 38 -70 4960N Assays Pending ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gold mineralization at the Carumbe project occurs within and adjacent to vertical fault zones. The project area contains historic open pit gold mines and one vertical shaft for underground mining. Initial grab samples from the Carumbe mine contained gold values of 57 g/t, 21 g/t, 5.3 g/t and 1.9 g/t Au. Gold occurs in pyrite-chalcopyrite-quartz veins, fractures and sulfidic breccia zones, within the fault zones that cut gneissic metasedimentary rocks. Results and Future Exploration Initial assay results contain high-grade gold values (up to 135 g/t Au) in drill holes ACR 33 and ACR 34, which were drilled from the same drill pad at different inclinations in section 5020N; these are located adjacent to the Carumbe open pit. Drill hole ACR 33 intersected 1.0 m @ 6.1 g/t from metres 114.0 to 115.0; drill hole ACR 34 intersected a weighted average 2.8 m @ 40.3 g/t from metres 212.18 to 214.50, and includes the following assays: ------------------------------------------------------- ACR 34 Interval From: To: Width (m) Assay g/t Au ------------------------------------------------------- 212.18 213.48 1.30 4.5 g/t ------------------------------------------------------- 213.48 214.00 0.52 0.1 g/t ------------------------------------------------------- 214.00 214.50 0.50 90.5 g/t ------------------------------------------------------- 214.50 215.00 0.50 135.2 g/t ------------------------------------------------------- Drill results will be integrated with ongoing surface mapping and geochemical data; more comprehensive assaying is in progress. Follow-up drilling will be completed, based on the results of this work. QA/QC: Sample intervals were calculated using a minimum one metre sample width, and a one gram per tonne low-grade cut-off. One interval of internal or adjacent dilution was allowed, below cut-off values. Drill core chemical analyses were performed by SGS Lakefield/Geosol of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, an ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 9002 certified assayer. Intervals are not corrected for true width, and assays are reported with no high-grade cut-off.
