Carmax Drills 0.54% Cu, 0.029% Mo, 2.30 g/t Ag, and 0.284 g/t Au Over 161 m at Eaglehead Property, BC

Carmax Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CXM) ("Carmax") is pleased to announce that it
has now received results from the remaining 16 of the 25 holes drilled in the
2011 exploration season on the East Zone and Bornite Zone target areas of its
flagship Eaglehead Cu-Mo project located in northwestern British Columbia. The
total program consisted of the drilling of 8,300 metres in 25 holes. Results
from the first 8 holes were released in Carmax's release of December 7th, 2011.
All samples of split diamond drill core from the 2011 program were forwarded to
and assayed by ACME labs of Vancouver.


The Eaglehead Property hosts at least six areas of porphyry style Cu-Mo
mineralization extending to more than 8 km along strike. The 2011 summer
exploration program focused on two of these target areas; being the East Zone
and the Bornite Zone. In general, low grade gold and silver values are
associated with Cu-Mo mineralization. Future drilling programs will be designed
to further delineate the East Zone and the Bornite Zone mineralization, as well
as to drill test the remaining four major target areas of the vast Eaglehead
Property.


The company has engaged Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) of Toronto to
complete an independent estimate of NI 43-101 complaint Mineral Resources of
these two areas taking into consideration the results now received from the 2011
program. Completion of the report is anticipated for April 2012.


The East Zone hosts at least ten subvertical zones of west-northwest trending
porphyry type Cu-Mo mineralization within variably hydrothermally altered
granodioritic rocks. The Bornite Zone also contains at least eight areas of
Cu-Mo mineralization with similar orientation to the East Zone.


The results to date indicate extensions to previously known mineralized zones
with Cu, Mo, Ag, and Au values with grades ranging from 0.16% Cu to 3.33% Cu
over drill core intervals ranging from 3 m to 161 m. The individual mineralized
zones in both areas range in horizontal (true) thickness from 5 m to 80 m.


The mineralized zones in both areas extend more than 400 m at depth within
hydrothermally altered and mineralized zones that are approximately 500 m wide
and 700 m to 800 m long. The table below summarizes the results received from
the last 16 holes of the 2011 summer drilling program.




Highlights of the results are as follows:

    Hole 110.

    112B. 
--  0.54% Cu, 0.029% Mo, 2.30 g/t Ag, and 0.284 g/t Au over 161 m in Hole
    114. 
--  0.55% Cu, 0.009% Mo, 1.20 g/t Ag, and 0.015 g/t Au over 20 m in Hole
    120. 
--  0.45% Cu, 0.013% Mo, 1.30 g/t Ag, and 0.132 g/t Au over 31 m also in
    Hole 120.

Hrayr Agnerian, P.Geo., a Director of Carmax, is the qualified person as defined
in NI 43-101, and has reviewed the technical information contained in this news
release.


Jevin Werbes, President of Carmax, states, "We are very pleased with the results
received from the 2011 summer exploration program. The results indicate a
potential for bulk mineable porphyry style copper-molybdenum mineralization.
Carmax is anticipating its resource estimate from RPA around April 2012, and
with Copper prices appreciating once again, we look forward to planning and
sharing our 2012 exploration plans."

About the Eaglehead Project

The Eaglehead Cu-Mo Project is located approximately 1,100 km north of Vancouver
and approximately 48 km east of Dease Lake, a town of approximately 200 people,
in northwestern British Columbia. The northwest-southeast oriented property
extends approximately 28 km along strike from Eaglehead Lake at its northwestern
extremity to approximately 8 km past Tournigan River in the southeastern part of
the property. The property comprises 31 mineral claims consisting of 613 cells
covering a total area of approximately 11,410 ha in the Liard Mining Division of
British Columbia.


Copper and molybdenum mineralization on the Eaglehead Property is typical of
porphyry Cu-Mo systems associated with hydrothermal alteration assemblages
within intermediate volcanic rocks and granodioritic and monzonitic rocks.
Mineralization is contained in altered rocks, which are localized by geological
structures, and range in size from 5 m to more than 100 m wide and more than
three kilometres long. Two mineralized structures trend northwest, and the third
one trends east-southeast. Mineralization is comprised of altered zones, quartz
stockworks, and hydrothermal breccia zones that contain disseminated
chalcopyrite and other sulphide minerals.


About Carmax

Carmax is a Canadian company engaged in exploration for bulk tonnage
copper-molybdenum deposits in northwestern British Columbia. The company also
has the Whiskey Jack gold project in Ontario and the Gold Tip gold project in
BC. During the 2011 summer exploration program, the company's objective was to
better outline the mineralized areas at the East Zone and Bornite Zone of the
Eaglehead Project, and has engaged Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) of
Toronto to estimate NI 43-101 complaint Mineral Resources of these two areas.
Carmax has 27,515,998 shares outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange
