Kobex Minerals Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KXM)(NYSE MKT:KXM) has filed a notification with the NYSE MKT to voluntarily delist its common shares from the exchange. Following de-listing from the NYSE MKT, the Company's shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (KXM.V) and on the Over-the-Counter market in the USA on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Link.

To effect the de-listing, the Company intends on filing a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about May 20, 2013. The Company expects that trading of its shares on the NYSE MKT will be terminated on or about May 30, 2013.

The decision to de-list was made after the Board of Directors of the Company considered the prevailing market conditions and concluded that, given its cash resources in excess of 35 million dollars, the Company's focus should be entirely on property acquisition and cost containment. The Company believes that continued distress in the minerals sector will result in acquisition opportunities that will be accretive to shareholders and that until an acquisition can be made the Company should limit its expenses of which listing fees on the NYSE MKT is a component.

Kobex is following a prudent, value oriented acquisition strategy and does not want to rush into an acquisition to meet NYSE MKT continued listing requirements The Company has therefore concluded it is in the best interests of its shareholders to de-list from the NYSE MKT exchange.

On behalf of the Board of Directors

KOBEX MINERALS INC.

Alfred Hills, President and CEO
