Advanced Explorations Inc. Acquires Additional Targets

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/23/10 -- Advanced Explorations Inc. (the 'Company' or 'AEI') (TSX VENTURE: AXI)(FRANKFURT: AE6) is pleased to provide an update on the Company's recent field programs, the Alaska Iron Sands project and the due diligence process of China XinXing Pipes Group.

The Company has completed the first phase of its regional assessment of other commodity opportunities on the Melville Peninsula. Based on the promising conclusions of the team, AEI has expanded its 100% holding to over 140,000 acres outside of the original Joint Venture ('JV') area and added an additional 15,000 acres within the JV. Here, property acquisition was focused on iron ore targets with precious metal and base metal opportunities acquired elsewhere. Additional target evaluation will commence once the last round of sample assays are received. Depending on results, additional land may be acquired around key mineral prospects.

On August 18th, the Company announced its option to acquire a 100% interest in an Alaska Iron Sands project from 7th Sea Holdings Company. The project is located on the Alaska Peninsula (pan handle), approximately 6500 km from China making the deposit potentially competitive to ore being shipped from Australia to China. AEI believes there is excellent tonnage potential, and the ocean location provides additional development advantages. In order to make an informed acquisition decision, metallurgical studies are currently underway to determine the process required to produce quality concentrate products with results expected in the next few months.

As part of the due diligence process of China XinXing Pipes Group (as press released on July 19th, 2010), five delegates led by the Director of the Investment Committee Mr. Guo Shijin visited the Roche Bay and Tuktu deposits and attended a variety of meetings with government and Inuit community officials (pictures can be seen on the company website www.advanced-exploration.com ). XinXing's evaluation of the Company's assets is ongoing, and a decision is expected within the timeline set out in the MOU.

John Gingerich, President & CEO, commented:

'The Company has met its three key target objectives (milestones).

1.  Moving forward in developing a strategic partnership with XinXing Pipes
    Group: AEI believes XXP to be an excellent partner with the financial
    and technical capability to take the Roche Bay project to production.
2.  Expanding the core (iron ore) asset base of the company with the
    acquisition of the large Alaska iron sands project.
3.  Advancing the Company's precious metal (Au, Ag) and base metal (Cu, Ni)
    potential: A program is underway to determine the economic potential of
    numerous targets that have been identified which has already led to an
    expansion of our land holdings. The results of this review will be an
    important guide on how best to monetize the value of these assets for
    our shareholders. Within the next few months we will decide whether to
    spin out, joint venture or pursue these opportunities within AEI as part
    of our project portfolio.

There appears to be a continuing strong resurgence within the commodity sector and in particular iron ore. The Company continues to evaluate new growth opportunities and respond to unsolicited inquiries to partner on other projects not covered by the XinXing MOU. We are very confident that the next six months will be very good months for AEI.'
