NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Argex to purchase up to a 50.1% of Canadian Titanium Limited, to acquire control of proprietary technology and the underlying patents.

MONTREAL, Feb. 14 /CNW Telbec/ - Argex Mining Inc. (Argex) (TSX-V: RGX) (FSE: ASV) (OTCBB: ARGEF) has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with the principals of Canadian Titanium Ltd. (CTL) for the purchase of up to a 50.1% interest in CTL for a total consideration of $1 million and 2 million shares of Argex to be paid on the successful completion of certain milestones and a 2% royalty on Argex titanium dioxide (TiO2) production.

The Principals of CTL own proprietary technology and underlying patents that Argex will be implementing in Phase III metallurgical testing with Process Research Ortech (PRO).

Argex announced by press release on February 10, 2011, the results of the implementation of the technology by PRO in the Phase I test work on the La Blache deposit was the production of high purity 99.8% TiO2.

At the time of the announcement, Michael Dehn, Argex president and CEO described the metallurgical results as follows, "The metallurgical results to date have been stellar. Results to date continue to exceed our expectations which were always very high. The applicability of the process to La Blache continues to demonstrate that La Blache is truly a world class titanium-iron-vanadium deposit. By using known technology innovatively, the process allows Argex to process from ore to high value product in one location while potentially producing inert tailings.

The LOI provides for milestone payments of the total consideration which shall be paid as follows: (i) 10% on signing of the transaction documents; (ii) 20% on completion of Laboratory Work (phase II metallurgical test work); (iii) 30% on completion of mini-plant work (phase III metallurgical test work), and (iv) 40 % on completion of the engineering work for a production facility.

"We are very pleased with this business transaction which will permit Argex to advance towards production with proprietary technology that we believe will change the titanium dioxide industry the way heap leaching changed the gold mining industry," stated Argex president and CEO Michael Dehn, "Going forward with CTL and its team, we will continue technological improvements and innovation aimed at improving Argex's bottom line mining profitability as well as creating additional revenue streams from licensing and maintenance revenue generated through the technology."

Argex has been working closely with the principals of CTL for nearly 12 months and the acquisition of the technology will be mutually beneficial to both parties' shareholders.

There are numerous conditions that must be satisfied prior to the closing of this transaction, including the negotiation and signature of definitive agreements. Argex can give no assurances that this transaction will be completed. The acquisition of a controlling interest in CTL is subject to relevant security and exchange approval.
