XAU GoldMoney Inc

AuEx Ventures, Inc. ("AuEx" or the "Company") (TSX: XAU) is pleased to announce the purchase of Basti Resources S.L. ("Basti") and the execution of an exploration earn in agreement with Western Uranium Corporation (TSX: WUC).

In 2006, AuEx entered into a grub stake agreement with experienced geologists in which initial sampling of an old iron district in Spain yielded samples up to 12 g/t Au. Further work ensued and the underlying geologists organized Basti, a Spanish limited liability corporation, to acquire land in the Baza Area of Interest. Subsequently, two rounds of regional stream sediment sampling, remote sensing, rock chip sampling, and considerable prospecting on foot exposed a large area of siderite-albite veining. Specific areas have a significant Cu-Au tenor and samples up to 20 g/t Au and 10% Cu have been found. Areas with multi-km strike length have consistently greater than 0.3% copper and multi-gram gold. The mineralization appears to be a type of Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit. Currently, an extensive ground magnetics program is underway.

On September 29, 2009 EuEx Resources Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AuEx, purchased Basti for EUR214,000 of which EUR14,000 has been paid and the remainder will be paid in EUR50,000 annual installments on each November 20 beginning in 2009. The sellers retained a 1.5% NSR that can be bought down.

On October 13, 2009 Basti and AuEx signed an option agreement with WUC whereby WUC can acquire a 70% interest in the properties by funding the continued exploration and development within the Baza Area of Interest. The Baza Project currently contains two exploration permits and a third is pending for a total of more than 10,000 hectares.

WUC has the right to carry EuEx (a wholly owned subsidiary of AuEx) through bankable feasibility on any given exploration permit to earn up to 70% of the project and by paying an aggregate of US$400,000 to AuEx of which US$100,000 has been received. To maintain the option US$100,000 must be paid on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Agreement to AuEx and minimum annual expenditures must be incurred at the rate of:

EUR500,000 on or before the first anniversary;

EUR600,000 on or before the second anniversary;

EUR1,000,000 on or before the third anniversary; and

EUR500,000 in each subsequent year until such time as a bankable feasibility study is obtained on a particular Permit.

If WUC spends at least EUR3,000,000 on any given Exploration Permit or Application, it is entitled to a 5% NSR which reduces to a 1% NSR after EUR6,000,000 in payments.

AuEx is very pleased to be working with WUC in this exciting new copper-gold district. The WUC staff and Board are well known to AuEx and this lends itself to a healthy working relationship.
