CLLXF Callinex Mines Inc (QX)

VANCOUVER, March 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Callinex Mines (TSX.V-CNX) (OTCQX -
CLLXF) is pleased to announce that it has begun a drilling campaign on
its Gossan Hill gold project in Northern Manitoba near Cranberry
Portage. This, the third drill program on the property by Callinex, is
designed to build on the success encountered in the 2012 drilling
program.

The mineralization has been defined by 64 diamond drill holes over 2
drilling seasons to date. Highlights of the previous campaigns
conducted by the company included hole GOS28, which returned a core
width of 5.94 g/mT gold over 14.77 metres, (as reported in Callinex's
press release of April 15, 2011). Diamond drill hole GOS33, which
intersected 19.88 g/mT gold over 2.45 metres of core width (as reported
in Callinex's press release of May 16, 2012). The objective of the
current drill program will be to expand the zone at depth and along
strike.

The gold and silver mineralization at the Gossan Hill project is located
along a 2 kilometer shear zone. The southernmost end of the shear-zone
is the home of the previously producing Gurney Gold Mine. The historic
Manitoba mine produced 28,045 ounces of gold from 94,650 tons of ore
milled, according to records obtained through the Manitoba Department of Energy and Mines. The Company cautions that work done by previous operators on the
Gurney Gold Mine property was conducted before the implementation of
National Instrument 43-101. Quality control methods by the previous
operators are unknown, and the accuracy of the information cannot and
should not be relied upon.

Callinex's holdings at Gossan Hill consist of 3,679 hectares of mining
claims. Rail line runs through the claim block, and a provincial
highway is located approximately 10 kilometers from the project.
