Canamax Announces Update on Listing of Common Share Purchase Warrants and Grant of Stock Options

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 6, 2014) -

(NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

Canamax Energy Ltd. ("Canamax" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CAC) is pleased to announce an update on the public listing of certain of the Company's outstanding common share purchase warrants and the grant of stock options to new employees and one officer.

Share Purchase Warrant Listing

The Company is taking steps to list for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") the common share purchase warrants which were issued by the Company pursuant to the acquisition of Ki Exploration Inc. on April 30, 2014 (the "Ki Warrants") and pursuant to private placements which closed in December, 2013 and January, 2014 (the "Legacy Warrants"). In order to list the Legacy Warrants, the Legacy Warrants will have to be exchanged for warrants issued under a supplemental warrant indenture entered into between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "New Warrants"). The Company will be forwarding documentation to the holders of the Legacy Warrants which sets out the process to exchange the Legacy Warrants for New Warrants. It is expected that this documentation will be forwarded to Legacy Warrant holders before the middle of August.

In order to meet the TSXV listing requirements, there must be at least an aggregate of 200,000 Ki Warrants and New Warrants outstanding which are held by at least 75 public holders who must each hold a minimum of 500 warrants. Once a sufficient number of Legacy Warrant holders exchange their Legacy Warrants for the New Warrants, the Company plans to apply to the TSXV to have the Ki Warrants and the New Warrants trade on the TSXV.

Canamax also issued common share purchase warrants pursuant to private placement financings which closed on April 30 and May 15, 2014 (the "Financing Warrants"). The Company will immediately work towards listing the Financing Warrants once the 120-day statutory hold period for such warrants expires.

Stock Option Grants

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved a resolution to grant an aggregate of 525,000 stock options (the "Options") to acquire common shares of the Company to certain of the Company's new employees (485,000 options) and one officer (40,000 options) pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan. The Options have an exercise price of $1.69, based on the trailing 5-day volume weighted average price. The Options granted are for a term of 5 years, with one-third of the Options vesting immediately and one-third of the Options vesting on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.
