Cantex Energy Corp. Completes 2D Swath of Big Canyon; Announces Appointment of New Board Member

Cantex Energy Corp. (Pink Sheets:CTXE) is pleased to
announce that Gary McKenzie has joined Cantex's Board of Directors
effective immediately. Mr. McKenzie brings a wealth of expertise and
has participated in numerous oil and gas projects and prospects over
the years. Additionally, Mr. McKenzie has interest in the Barnett
Shale area and Cantex expects he will assist Cantex in gaining working
interest in some wells in this prolific region.
   The Company is also pleased to report that the recording phase of
three lines of 2D swath seismic in the Big Canyon Prospect has now
been completed by Quantum Geophysical. The recorded data has been sent
off for processing and evaluation. The seismic shoot ranged from 3000'
to 20,000' deep. The first seismic line will take a few weeks to be
evaluated through digital processing/computer analysis and lines two
and three should be processed in a more timely fashion.

continue to build our Board with well-seasoned professionals who will
provide the infrastructure and insight for our Company to grow and
