MONTREAL, April 7 /CNW Telbec/ - Argex Mining Inc. (Argex) (TSXV: RGX) (FSE: ASV) (OTCBB: ARGEF) reports that it has awarded a contract to GENIVAR Inc. of Montreal, Quebec, to complete an Environmental Impact Study for Argex's Mouchalagane Iron Property. The EIS is anticipated to take approximately two years to complete and will outline all environmental concerns and constraints for expected production from Argex's Mouchalagane Iron Property.

"The start of the Environmental Impact Study is in line with the aggressive exploration and engineering work Argex has completed on the La Blache Titanium, Vanadium and Iron Property in the past 14 months. The completion of the Environmental Impact Study and an accelerated exploration plan that we anticipate to commence in the summer of 2012 will allow us to complete exploration, permitting and preliminary economic assessment by early 2013," said Argex's President and CEO Michael Dehn.

Historical drilling and metallurgical work on the Mouchalagane Iron Project, along with recent airborne geophysics and site visit to the property have given Argex's management the confidence to proceed with the Environmental Impact Study. A final drilling proposal is expected to be completed in the coming months with further information on the plans being announced once the final planning work is complete.

The Environmental Impact Study will cover:

- Climate and Air Quality
