Merrex Gold Inc. was organized in 2005 when Vancouver lawyer John Cumming joined with Bedford geologist Greg Isenor in the newly restructured Merrex. Greg Isenor had just sold his prior company, Jilbey Gold Inc. after proving the now 3,000,000 ounce Bissa Deposit in Burkina Faso. He decided to focus on the Siribaya region, an unexplored area south of the Faleme River in the West African Republic of Mali - the third largest gold producer in Africa behind South Africa and Ghana.

Beginning with land assembly and progressing from grassroots exploration through to advanced drilling, Greg Isenor has turned Merrex's 840 square kilometers of contiguous exploration permits, the largest contiguous exploration land package in Mali, into one of the exciting gold discovery stories in Mali.
