LONGUEUIL, QC, July 22, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - Azimut Exploration Inc ('Azimut' or 'the Company') (TSXV: AZM) announces the discovery of a new mineralized 1.5-km-long
copper-molybdenum zone on its 100% owned Rex property in Nunavik,
northern Quebec. This latest zone (the Robinson Zone) further supports the excellent exploration potential for large-scale
polymetallic deposits in a region considered by Azimut to be a new
mineral belt of major importance.

Azimut's systematic targeting efforts in Quebec led to the acquisition
of a controlling land position along a 330-km prospective trend in
Nunavik, represented by its Rex, Rex South and NCG properties totalling
13,133 claims over a 5,708 km(2) surface area (see press release of March 31, 2011).

The discovery of the Robinson Zone is the result of prospecting work
that followed up on an in-fill lake-bottom sediment survey performed by
Azimut in 2010. The zone has been recognized over a strike length of
1.5 km and a width of 30 to 130 m, and remains open in all directions.
Mineralization, mostly represented by chalcopyrite (up to 5%),
molybdenite (up to 1%) and pyrite, is hosted in a biotite-rich granite
with porphyritic and pegmatitic facies. The dominant alteration type is
silicification. Mineralization has been confirmed using a portable
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. Laboratory analyses are pending.

The extensive exploration program underway on the Rex, Rex South and NCG
properties can be summarized as follows:

    --  At Rex (5,672 claims), work includes comprehensive prospecting
        and 3,000 m of drilling.
    --  At Rex South (2,044 claims), work includes comprehensive
        prospecting and 7,000 m of drilling. Azimut's key partner,
        Aurizon Mines Ltd, is the operator.
    --  At NCG ('Nunavik Copper Gold' 5,417 claims), ongoing work
        includes an in-fill lake-bottom sediment geochemical survey and
        reconnaissance prospecting.

On-site field operations at Rex and NCG are managed by Azimut's senior
project geologist, François Bissonnette, P.Geo. This press release was
prepared by Jean-Marc Lulin, P.Geo., acting as Azimut's Qualified
Person under NI 43-101.
