NGEx Drills 5.80% Copper Over 22 Metres at Filo Del Sol Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 10, 2014) - NGEx Resources Inc. (TSX:NGQ) ("NGEx" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from ten additional holes drilled during the 2014 drill program at the Filo del Sol copper-gold-silver project located in San Juan Province, Argentina. The drill holes announced today continue to extend the high-grade manto zone and expand the broader zone of disseminated copper, gold and silver mineralization.

Highlights include:

• VRC63 which intersected 12 metres of 663 g/t silver (from 262m), extending the high grade manto zone approximately 145 metres to the northeast of previous drilling (VRC38);
  
  
• VRC66 which intersected the high grade manto zone with 16 metres of 222 g/t silver (from 358m), extending the zone by 290 metres to the northwest of previous drilling (FSDH02). This hole also intersected 20 metres of 2.11% copper (from 238m) in the supergene enrichment blanket;
  
  
• VRC69 which intersected 20 metres of 2.44% copper (from 92m) in the supergene blanket;
  
  
• VRC70 which intersected 22 metres of 5.80% copper (from 146m) in the supergene blanket plus a 6 metre interval of 12.41 g/t gold (from 120m);
  
  
• VRC72 which intersected the high-grade manto zone with 12 metres of 907 g/t silver (from 176m), extending the zone 140 metres to the east of previous drilling (VRC34);
  
  
• All drill holes terminated in porphyry mineralization.
  
  

Filo del Sol is a high sulphidation epithermal copper-gold-silver system that overlies a porphyry copper-gold system. Overlapping mineralizing events combined with weathering effects, including supergene enrichment, have created several different styles of mineralization at Filo, including copper-gold porphyry, structurally-controlled gold, manto-style high-grade silver (+/- copper) and high-grade supergene copper enrichment.

The focus of this season's drill program was to expand and infill both the copper-gold porphyry mineralization and the high-grade manto zone which occurs as a sub-horizontal sheet of variable thickness within the volcanic rocks which overlie the porphyry system. The Filo del Sol mineralization remains open in all directions.

The ten holes released here span a north-south distance of 2,000 metres, with VRC65 at the southern edge of the drill pattern and VRC78 at the north. Drill hole collar locations are shown on the plan map which accompanies this news release.

A total of 8,208 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling was completed in 24 holes between December 10^th, 2013 and March 5^th, 2014. Assays for seven holes were released on March 17 and assays are pending for an additional seven holes. The drill program was designed to collect sufficient data to allow for the planned completion of an initial mineral resource estimate for Filo del Sol later this year. Once complete drill results are received the Company plans to start work on an initial resource which is expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2014. Until all drill results are received, the Company does not have sufficient data to commence this assessment.

The results from the drill holes released today are presented below:

Qualified Persons

Mr. Bob Carmichael, B.A.Sc, P.Eng., 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. The Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QA/QC) program is under the management of Diego Charchaflie MSc., P.Geo (BC), a Qualified Person pursuant to NI 43-101.

Samples were collected at the drill site by Company personnel with initial splitting carried out at a facility near the drill sites and final splitting completed at the Company's core processing facility located in Copiapß??, Chile. Individual samples represent final splits from 2 metre intervals down the hole. All samples from the 2014 program are from reverse circulation drill holes. Samples were delivered to Acme Analytical Laboratories S.A. sample preparation facility in Copiapß?? and shipped on to the Acme lab in Santiago, Chile. Samples were crushed, split and 500g was pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh. Gold analyses were by fire assay fusion with AAS finish on a 30g sample. Silver was analyzed both as part of the 36 element ICP package and also by 4-acid digestion with AAS finish (AAS results shown in table). Copper was analyzed by AAS after a 4-acid digestion(shown in table) and also in three steps of a representative 1 gram from the sub-sample: 1) with a 10% sulphuric acid cold solution, 2) a 10% sodium cyanide digestion of the residue of step 1, and 3) a 3-acid digestion of the residue of step 2. Solutions from each step were analyzed by atomic absorption. Samples were also analyzed for a suite of 36 elements with ICP-ES. Copper and gold standards as well as blanks and duplicates (field, preparation and analysis) were randomly inserted into the sampling sequence for Quality Control. On average, 9% of the submitted samples correspond to Quality Control samples.
