Marketwired Canada
NGEx Resources Inc. (TSX:NGQ) ("NGEx" or the "Company") is pleased to announce
that it has received the results from the 2011 exploration program at the
Company's 100% owned GJ copper-gold project located in northern British
Columbia, Canada. GJ is currently under option to Teck Resources Limited
("Teck"). The results reported herein are from drill holes GJK-11-219 to
GJK-11-228. Highlights include: GJK-11-219 with 141.21 metres of 0.38% Cu and
0.53 g/t Au plus 5.35 metres of 6.82 g/t Au; GJK-11-226 with 9.60 metres of
0.15% Cu and 6.64 g/t Au and GJK-11-228 with 29.15 metres of 0.18% Cu and 0.39
g/t Au (please see attached map: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/ngq1.pdf).
The objective of this year's program was to better define higher-grade
mineralization suggested by historical drilling at depth below the Donnelly
Zone, while continuing exploration across the property at the Wolf and Seestor
targets. The drill holes released today confirm and extend the Donnelly Zone and
identify a new zone of previously untested mineralization at the Wolf target.
This year's exploration program took place between June and October, and
included 10 diamond drill holes comprising a total of 4,307 metres of drilling
and ground geophysics including 50 line kilometres of ground magnetics
concentrated on the Donnelly and GJ Zones and a new area on the sides of the
Wolf Plateau. The same areas were also covered with 76.6 line kilometres of
Induced Polarization geophysics ("IP"). Primary goals included drill testing
possible extensions of the Donnelly Zone which includes the current Measured and
Indicated Resource of 153.3 million tonnes grading 0.32% copper and 0.37 g/t
gold(i) (see news release dated October 7, 2008). Additional holes were designed
to test exploration targets outside the Donnelly Zone. Three drill holes in the
previously undrilled Wolf Zone (GJK-11-220, -221, and -222) confirm the presence
of a potential porphyry system. The 3 drill holes in the Wolf area identified
vectors in hydrothermal alteration directed towards the North and to depth.
Comprehensive data compilation, including integration of 2011 mapping,
geophysics and historical geochemical data from the Donnelly, GJ, Wolf, QC, Horn
and Seestor targets, will be completed during the winter in preparation for the
2012 field season.
The 2011 exploration program was 100% funded by Teck under an option agreement
signed in August, 2010 whereby Teck has the right to earn an initial 51%
interest by spending $12,000,000 by December 31, 2014 and up to a 75% interest
by spending an aggregate of $44,000,000 by December 31, 2020.
Intervals for the holes reported today are summarized in the table below: (true
widths for the reported intervals are unknown).

QAQC
The drill core was logged, sawed, and half cores were sampled in their entirety
in two meter intervals or intervals corresponding to geologic breaks determined
by Teck personnel and contractors at the GJ site. Samples were shipped to Acme
Labs in Smithers for sample preparation. The sample pulps were analyzed by
standard industry assay methods, at Acme Labs in Vancouver. Copper and gold
standards, as well as blanks and duplicates (field, preparation and analysis)
were randomly inserted into the sampling sequence for Quality Control.
Mr. Bob Carmichael, Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) degree from UBC, and a
registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with the Association of Professional
Engineers and Geoscientists of BC (APEGBC), is the Qualified Person as defined
by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Carmichael is Vice President, Exploration for
the Company and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in
this news release.
