Extention of New Polymetallic Mineralization in the Normetal Mine Horizon at Amex's Perron Property.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec. 16, 2015) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AMX) is very pleased to announce that Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd (TSX:AEM)(NYSE:AEM) "Agnico Eagle" has recently informed the company of the latest follow-up drilling of the new mineralisation intersected in their previous phase of drilling on the Normetal mine Horizon (see PR-2015-06-16) with positive results, notably in the third and last deepest hole 163-15-023 with values of 0,17% Cu, 1,62% Zn, 6,28 g/t Ag and 0,22g/t Au over 2,1 meters (see Table 1).

This latest phase of drilling consisted of 2 drill holes totalling 1512 meters with the objective to evaluate the potential extension of the polymetallic mineralization zone that returned 2,23 % Cu, 0,11% Zn, 8,30 g/t Ag and 0,20 g/t Au over 1,0 meter in hole 163-15-015 located within the Normetal Mine Horizon (NMH) that was discovered earlier this year.

Hole 163-15-023, which targeted the Mine Sequence at 750m below the surface (and 250m under hole 163-15-022), intercepted similar alteration and mineralization as in hole 163-15-022 and as in the discovery hole 163-15-015. The chlorite-garnet envelop returned 0.06 g/t Au, 1.50 g/t Ag, 360 ppm Cu and 3748 ppm Zn over 12.1m (807.3-819.4m), including an interval with up to 3-10% Pyrite-Sphalerite±Pyrrhotite that returned 0.22 g/t Au, 6.28 g/t Ag, 1678 ppm Cu and 16161 ppm Zn over 2.1m (816.0-818.1m). Overall, this new mineralized envelop can now be followed from surface down to a minimum vertical depth of about 750 meters and a strike length of about 200 meters and is still open in all directions. Its thickness increases with depth, from about 2 meters near surface, up to around 10 meters in the deepest hole (hole 163-15-23).

* Hole 163-15-15 was drilled in Phase I.

Both polymetallic intervals in holes 022 and 023 show a continuous panel, concordant to the stratigraphy, that makes the zone very predictable. In both holes, the mineralization lies within the same intermediate lapilli-tuff unit (with the garnet porphyroblasts and the pervasive chlorite alteration) that is similar to the old Normetal Mine (11 MT @ 2,15% Cu, 5,12% Zn, 0,55 g/t Au and 45,25 g/t Ag) located at about 5 km to the east, that was the richest polymetallic mine of the Quebec Abitibi area.
