Drilling is Complete and More is Planned at Pasfield Lake
Property, Saskatchewan
======================================================================

Vancouver, BC -Triex Minerals Corporation (TXM-TSX.V) ("Triex") is
pleased to announce that the winter exploration program at Pasfield
Lake is complete. Both drilling and geophysical results confirm the
property's uranium exploration potential. Sub-Athabasca Group basement
has been intersected at a depth of 300 metres, compared to depths of
greater than 900 metres regionally. The exploration program is being
accelerated with planning underway for phase two drilling this summer
to test a portion of the northwestern margin of the basement uplift
block. The Company's website (www.triexminerals.com) contains a
property location map, and all maps referenced below.

The Pasfield Property is located in the eastern Athabasca Basin of
northern Saskatchewan. It is 35 kilometres south of the road that
connects Points North and Stony Rapids, and 60 kilometres northwest of
the Cigar Lake Mine, the second largest high-grade uranium deposit in
the world.

The 2007 winter program of AMT (audio magnetotellurics) ground
geophysics and Diamond drilling follows up a 1,116 line-kilometre
airborne V-TEM survey completed completed by Geotech Ltd. in January
2006, and a 1,616 line-kilometre airborne 3-D Full Tensor gravity
gradient survey completed by Bell Geospace Inc. in January, 2007. Four
AMT transects, totaling 63 line-kilometres, were completed. Hy-Tech
Drilling Ltd. of Smithers, BC completed a total of 1,604 metres of
Diamond drilling in four vertical holes,. Holes PF07-001 and PF07-002
were completed to target depth PF07-003 was ended prematurely in
intensely altered basement rock, and the PF07-004 was abandoned in
overburden. Basement rocks were intersected at depths of 310 metres,
326 metres and 292 metres in three widely spaced holes. Holes PF07-001
and PF07-002 were successfully probed with a Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000
poly-gamma probe. A total of 266 geochemical samples were submitted to
the Saskatchewan Research Council, Saskatoon.

Pasfield is at the western margin of the Wollaston-Mudjatic magnetic
low transition zone, within which all of the major uranium deposits in
the eastern Athabasca Basin occur (see basin-scale total magnetic
intensity map). Results to date from Pasfield Lake confirm the presence
of a block of uplifted basement of regional significance. Geological,
geophysical, geochemical, and structural features combine to form a
large and integrated exploration target. Key results from the recently
completed program include:

- The northern part of Pasfield Lake is underlain by a crudely circular
and concentrically zoned magnetic low feature that is eight kilometers
in diameter. (see property-scale compilation map).

- The Pasfield feature is a block of uplifted basement rock with at
least 600 metres of vertical displacement relative to regional basement
depths. The 300 metre basement depths confirmed under Pasfield Lake
compare with depths of 896 and 940 metres intersected in two holes
drilled in 1979 at Moss Creek, located 12 kilometres to the northwest.

- The northwestern margin of the block is interpreted to have a
complex, step-fault pattern based on results from all four AMT lines
(see AMT Line B profile). The regional Cable Bay Shear Zone corresponds
with this margin (see Athabasca Basin property location map). The
southeastern margin of the uplift block is equally well defined on AMT
survey lines, and on 3-D inversion models of high-resolution magnetic
data (see three-dimensional magnetic model).

- In the central part of the Pasfield feature, a north-south fault and
associated low-density alteration zone have been interpreted by Bell
Geospace Inc. from airborne gravity data. Drill results are consistent
with the interpreted fault: Hole PF07-001 on the east side of the fault
intersected granitic gneiss basement; Hole PF07-002 on the west side
intersected graphitic meta-pelitic gneiss, and; Hole PF07-003 collared
on the fault itself was terminated in bleached, intensely clay altered
granitic gneiss basement rock (see property-scale compilation map).

- A northeasterly-trending V-TEM conductor is coincident with the
surface trace of the Cable Bay Shear Zone where it forms the
northwestern margin of the Pasfield Lake uplift block. The conductor
splays east-west near the northern end of the lake, parallel to an
interpreted east-west "step fault" that is defined on three of the four
AMT lines (see property-scale compilation map).

- No anomalous radioactivity was encountered in the two holes probed
with the gamma ray tool, but rock types and alteration are prospective.
Pervasive bleaching is present in basement rocks at the unconformity
in all holes. Hematite-filled breccia is present in basement granite
gneiss in Hole PF07-001. More than 300 metres of graphitic garnet-mica
metapelitic gneiss was recovered in Hole PF07-002 (see photo of
metapelitic gneiss). Strongly graphitic fracture zones are common.
Very minor amounts of mafic and alkaline intrusive rocks were
recovered in Holes PF07001 and 002, but their character, origin and
economic significance are not known. Hole PF07-003 was terminated in
..soft, bleached, intensely clay-altered granitic gneiss.

Previous exploration in the region in the 1970s identified a large and
robust radiometric anomaly at the spring-fed headwaters of Moss Creek
some 12 kilometres northwest of Pasfield Lake. Results included
coincident anomalies of radon in water (more than 11 anomalous
samples), uranium in stream sediment (more than 27 anomalous samples),
and radioactive surface moss along the same three kilometre stretch of
Moss Creek, along with helium in near-by soil gas. Three barren drill
holes completed in 1979 span the length of the anomalous section of the
creek (see property-scale compilation map). Based on a regional
groundwater study, it was proposed that the uranium source for the Moss
Creek anomaly is under Pasfield Lake, not Moss Creek.

Triex will test this model based on results from the drill program just
completed. The presence of graphitic meta-pelites, strong alteration,
basement uplift, faults which post-date and offset the unconformity,
north-south features oblique to the northeast regional grain (such as
at Millennium), and east-west shear zones oblique northeast-trending
regional faults (such as at Moore Lake, Key Lake and Cigar Lake),
together with the robust radiometric anomaly at Moss Creek with a
source inferred to be under Pasfield Lake, all contribute to making
Pasfield a proven and compelling exploration target.

The four key areas to be tested in subsequent drill programs are:

1. The on-land southern portion of Cable Bay Shear Zone where a
vertical offset of 600 metres or more is evident.

2. The north-south fault inferred from gravity and proven by
drilling in the central portion of the uplift block.

3. The east-west internal step faults and parallel V-TEM conductors
in the northern part of the block.

4. The southeastern margin of the uplift block.

The AMT survey results indicate that the Cable Bay Shear Zone is one
kilometre west of the lake shore on Line C and two kilometres west of
the lake shore on Line D (see property-scale compilation map).

Triex has the right to acquire an 80% interest in the Pasfield Lake
property from Thelon Ventures Ltd. (THV-TSX.V: see news release dated
March 28, 2006). Triex currently owns 51% and is the Operator. The
property originally comprised two Mineral Prospecting Permits covering
86,804 hectares. Following compilation of all previous exploration
data, and completion of airborne geophysics, ground geophysics and
surface geochemistry, staking of mineral claims within the permit
holdings was completed in accordance with Saskatchewan regulations. The
property now consists of 16 claims covering a total area of 66,811
hectares.
