CANEX METALS CLOSES FIRST TRANCHE OF FINANCING FOR $1,629,250

Calgary, Alberta - CANEX Metals Inc. ("CANEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement for 16,292,500 shares ("Common Shares") at a price of $0.10 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $1,629,500.

The shares were offered on a non-brokered basis by way of private placement to accredited investors and the securities issued are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day or May 8, 2021.

The second and final tranche is expected to close early next week and all securities issued in connection with that tranche will be subject to a four month hold period. A total of $16,500 was paid in fees in connection with the financing.

Proceeds of the financing will be used to explore the Gold Range Property, evaluate additional exploration opportunities, and for general working capital.

About the Gold Range Property

The Gold Range Property is located in Northern Arizona within an underexplored belt containing historic lode and placer gold production. CANEX has identified widespread gold mineralization within a 3 kilometre by 5 kilometre area including two gold-in-soil anomalies that are up to a kilometre in scale.

Drilling in August and September of this year identified near surface bulk tonnage gold potential at the Eldorado Zone with Hole GR20-9 returning 0.9 g/t gold over 27.3 metres including 5.9 g/t gold over

1.5 metres. Hole GR20-8 drilled from the same pad as GR20-9 returned 0.5 g/t gold over 24.4 metres starting from surface. The new discovery correlates with a strong gold in soil anomaly and sheeted quartz veinlets and stockworks within metamorphic rocks.

The Company remains focused on confirming and expanding the new discovery through continued exploration and drilling. Please visit our website at www.canexmetals.cafor additionnel information.
