Drilling at Breznik Intersects High Grades and Extends Length of High Grade Zone by 70%

November 02, 2009

VANCOUVER CANADA: EurOmax Resources Limited (TSX-V: EOX) (“EurOmax”)  is pleased to announce that recent drillhole results have extended the strike of the high grade Breznik gold-silver deposit from 600 metres to nearly 1000 metres.

Results from this program include 1 meter at 16.66 g/t gold; 1 meter at 21.11 g/t gold and 12 g/t silver, followed by 1 meter at 12.08 g/t gold, 1 meter at 8.57 g/t gold and 22/t silver; and 6 meters at 5.50 g/t gold.

These drillhole results extend the Breznik high grade mineralized zone by 400 metres to the north-west.    More than 2 kilometres of the mapped strike of the vein system remains untested. The high grade zone, with an average width of 2 metres, has now been traced over nearly 1000 metres and up to 150 metres down dip from surface.  The high grade zone remains open at depth.  A three hole diamond drilling program recently completed has tested the zone at 250 metres down dip and has intersected visually similar mineralization, results are awaited. 

Eleven Reverse Circulation holes, drilled in February 2008 by the previous owner, have now been assayed by EurOmax.  All results are listed in the table below using a cut-off grade of 3 g/t gold:

The Breznik project has a previously announced JORC (similar to 43-101) resource.  The resource is open at depth and along strike to the north-west.  The Breznik deposit was previously evaluated for its open pit potential.  Many of the more than 100 drillholes on the property, reported high grade intercepts between 3.5 g/t and 54 g/t gold.  EurOmax is now evaluating the potential of the deposit for exploitation of this higher grade material with a low impact underground mining operation.

Quality control and Quality Assurance

Drilling was conducted with a reverse circulation drilling rig using a face sampling hammer. Drillhole samples were prepared and assayed by SGS Chelopech laboratory in Bulgaria. SGS Chelopech follows SGS Global methods and procedures and has stringent quality control and assurance practices. Gold was assayed by a 30 gram fire assay with an AAS/ICPOES finish while other elements were assayed by a two acid digest with an ICPOES finish. Higher grades were assayed by a four acid digest with an AAS finish. Quality control standards and blanks were routinely included. Assay results are consistent with expectations. Historic results reported herein were undertaken at EuroTest Control AD an ISO9001 accredited facility in Bulgaria. All reported drilling and sampling reported in this release was supervised by EurOmax personnel.
