Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2014 / Canamex Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Canamex") (TSX-V: CSQ) (OTCQX: CNMXF) (FSE: CX6) is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has appointed Mark Billings as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mark currently is and will remain Chairman of the Board of Directors. Greg Hahn, who has served as Interim CEO and President, will remain as President of the Company, and will continue to sit on the Company's Board of Directors.
Mark has been a director of Canamex since February 2009 and is very familiar with the operations of the Company, including specifically the Bruner Gold Project in Nye County, Nevada, and the Aranka North Gold Project in Guyana. He has had a lot of experience with public and junior mining companies in Canada, in particular. Mark recently left a senior executive and board position with Argex Titanium Inc., a Montreal-based near-term producer of titanium dioxide, being a company he co-founded in 2007. He has also served as a director or officer for a number of other publicly traded junior resource companies. In addition, from 2004 to 2006, Mark was Vice-President of Corporate Finance for Desjardins Securities, where he financed a number of public companies.
Mark has a Bachelor of Arts (Highest Honours) in Political Science from Carleton University, a Master of Business Administration from the Harvard Business School and a Chartered Financial Analyst designation.
"I am honoured to serve as Canamex's new Chief Executive Officer," stated Mr. Billings. "I firmly believe that we are sitting on a great opportunity in Nevada with our Bruner Gold Project in Nye County. As the 2014 drilling campaign is winding down, our team is eager to move towards completing an NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate, which we hope to share with our shareholders and the investing public in early 2015. This report will set the stage for moving the Bruner Gold Project closer to production."
"I would also like to publicly thank Greg Hahn, who served as Interim CEO since May, when our dear friend and colleague Bob Kramer passed away suddenly. A fellow director Mike Stark has also been instrumental in helping Greg and the Board since Bob's passing, and my thanks go to him as well."
The Company would also like to remind shareholders that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Canamex will take place on Friday, November 21, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (PST) at 510 Burrard Street, 3rd Floor, Vancouver, B.C.
