Amerix Reports 10.2 Grams/Ton Over 10.7 Metres at Ouro Roxo 08:00 EST Thursday, December 13, 2007 TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 13, 2007) - Amerix Precious Metals Corporation ("Amerix") (TSX VENTURE:APM)(FRANKFURT:NJG) today reported that Kluane International Drilling, Inc. ("Kluane") and Geologica e Sondagens Ltda. ("GEOSOL") have drilled 28 new holes for a total of more than 4500 metres of core at the Ouro Roxo deposit on Amerix's Vila Porto Rico Property ("VPR") in the Tapaj?s District, Brazil. This drilling program commenced in early September as reported in the Amerix's press releases of October 1 and October 24, 2007; each company has been contracted to drill 3000 metres of core. This program is expanding upon the 69 drill-hole program that was completed previously at the Ouro Roxo Deposit. In total over 11,000 metres of core has been drilled at the Ouro Roxo project by Amerix; an additional 5,000 metres of core was previously drilled by RTZ. The drilling program will be paused over the holiday break, but will begin again in January. Funding for the drilling was raised through a brokered private placement which closed on August 9, 2007 and raised gross proceeds of approximately $3,750,000. Amerix also is pleased to announce that initial assay results for eight complete holes from the Ouro Roxo North ("ORN") zone have been received from SGS Geosol Laboratorios Ltda located in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Gold values in hole AORN64 ranged as high as 10.2 grams/ton ("g/t") over 10.7 metres (including two zones within this interval of 17.2 g/t over 3.05 metres and 14.1 g/t over 4 metres). Visible gold is present in some of these analyzed cores as well as other ORN cores that await assay. Significantly, the drilling, assaying, and visual description of the cores from ORN also show that gold mineralization extends at least 600 metres farther north than known before this new drilling program and is open-ended to the north. The drilling program is designed to explore the northward extension of ORN towards the Pac· River and the sparsely drilled intermediate zone between ORN and Ouro Roxo South. The 69 drill holes drilled to date have demonstrated the continuity of a gold-mineralized zone for more than three kilometres from the ORN zone to the Ouro Roxo South zone through a relatively unexplored middle zone. It is anticipated that as drilling continues the main Ouro Roxo mineralized zone will extend another two kilometres to the north for a total length of at least 5.5 kilometres. Management's Discussion and Analysis: The following table shows mineralized zones in five of eight analyzed cores from ORN that contain zones with 1.0 g/t gold or greater. A single sample in hole AORN62 yielded 26.3 g/t gold over 1.0 meter. In hole AORN64, from 135.0 to 145.7 metres, the average grade is 10.2 g/t over this 10.7 -m wide interval; however, within this interval there are two zones of 17.2 g/t over 3.05 metres and 14.1 g/t over four metres separated by a two metres wide zone of lower grade. As a group these results are highly encouraging for Amerix's exploration effort. Throughout these five cores are numerous less than 1 g/t zones of thicknesses ranging from 1 to 12 metres. In hole AORN56, a core with many narrow high-grade zones had a total depth of only 127.8 metres due to loss of circulation when the drill encountered a garimpeiro tunnel that had been drifted along a very high-grade zone that obviously was unsampled by Amerix's core. Three holes, AORN52, 53, and 54 produced low gold analyses. The location of these holes with respect to a mapped surface structure places them west of a right-lateral-sense fault zone. Subsequent analysis indicates that these holes were drilled in the footwall of the gold-mineralized zone. The following table summarizes the results of five of the eight analyzed cores.

Both companies are well-established and have worked with Amerix in the past. Cores are being drilled at 50 degrees to 70 degrees angles at HQ or NQ diameter for up to 100 metres in depth after which diameter NQ or BQ is used to depths that generally will be in the range 150 to 250 metres. Local geologic mapping and regional reconnaissance geologic mapping are being conducted in concert with the drilling program. All cores are split and described at the Amerix camps near the drill sites. Assays are being conducted at SGS Geosol Laboratorios Ltda. These assays are multi-element analyses that include both gold and silver determinations among the suite of 38 analyzed elements. About the Vila Porto Rico (VPR) Property: The VPR Property is located in the Tapajos District, one of the largest gold-producing provinces in Brazil. Amerix owns 100% of the mining rights within the 670 km2 comprising the VPR property. Gold-rich zones are found within the one to two kilometres wide, N-S trending Ouro Roxo fault zone. This fault zone has been traced along a strike length of more than 25 kilometres. The Ouro Roxo mineralized zone occurs in the southern part of this major shear zone. Gold is present in a variety of structures throughout the property, but the best gold values at Ouro Roxo have been found within faults, shears, and brecciated zones that dip moderately to the east at 40degrees to 50degrees. The mineralized structures contain variable amounts of sulfides, and quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite-gold veins, below a saprolite zone that extends to a depth of 50 metres or more. The Ouro Roxo Project includes exploring a 5.5 -kilometre-long segment of this structural zone. A total of 69 angle core holes have been drilled at Ouro Roxo; the results of assays for these holes have been previously reported.
