Urex Intersects .42% Uranium in Argentina

Urex Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Urex”) (OTCBB:URXE) reports that the Company has completed 11 drill holes of a planned 50 drill hole program on the Company’s Cerro Solo area uranium property in Argentina.

Six drill holes were completed on the Contreras Target, which is located 11 km northeast of Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica’s (CNEA) Cerro Solo uranium deposit. Five drill holes were completed on Cerro Solo South Target (CSS) with drilling continuing on the CSS. The CSS property is located on the southwest corner of CNEA’s Cerro Solo uranium deposit.

All of the drill holes on the Company’s uranium properties in Argentina are logged with a down-the-hole Calibrated BGR-01 4-Channel Gamma Probe operated by in-house technicians. The BGR-01 4 Channel Gamma Probe was calibrated in February 2008 at the Canadian government calibration site at Fredericton, New Brunswick, under the supervision of the manufacturer. Significant probe results for the CSS are given in Table 1 using a 0.5 lb/ton eU3O8 cutoff.

Results from the Contreras Target test are under review because the uranium mineralization intersected occurs in a new geological environment (i.e. paleo-lake sediments in Cerro Barcino Formation).

All five of the holes drilled at CSS appear to have intersected significant uranium mineralization (see Table 1) with hole RC08-010 yielding 3.96 meters @ 2.33 lbs/ton eU3O8. Drill hole RC08-008 intersected 1.16 meters @ 3.48 lbs/ton eU3O8 including a peak uranium value of 9.93 lbs/ton eU3O8 or .42% eU.

Note: .5 lbs/ton eU3O8 cutoff used in all drill holes

Uranium mineralization intersected on the CSS is hosted in nearly flat lying sandstone and conglomerate of Cretaceous Los Adobes Formation. Drill holes RC08-007, RC08-008, RC08-009, and RC08-010 are drilled on 200 meter centers on an east-west line. Drill hole RC08-011 was drilled 100 meters south of drill hole RC08-008.

Drilling on the CSS is planned to continue as the newly discovered uranium mineralization is outlined. Other targets await testing and lie on trend with extensions of the CNEA’s Cerro Solo uranium deposit along trend to the north and south, as well as six other targets defined by the recently completed airborne geophysical survey and ground mapping.

“The Company is excited with the success of drilling at Cerro Solo South and pleased with the pace of the program. We look forward to reporting additional drill results in the coming days,” stated Richard Bachman, President of Urex.
