Temex Extends Mineralization at the Juby Gold Project in Northeastern Ontario and Provides Corporate Update

TORONTO, March 26, 2013 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TSXV: TME), (FWB: TQ1) ("Temex" or "the Company") provides updates on the Company's Juby and Whitney Gold Projects located in the Timmins - Kirkland Lake mining camps in northeastern Ontario, and on Corporate activities.

Highlights

• Juby Gold Project, located 45 kilometres from AuRico Gold's Young-Davidson Mine: Diamond drilling results continue to extend the Juby Main Zone gold mineralization westward onto the Golden Lake Property.  The new drill results (summarized in the following section and detailed in the appended table) will be incorporated into an updated gold resource estimation expected in the second quarter. The current NI 43-101 resource is defined along a 2.5 kilometre long strike length; the new drilling will extend the resource by a full kilometre, resulting in a 3.5 kilometre long strike length of the Juby Main Zone, which remains open both along strike and at depth.  A highlight of new drill results to be added to the updated resource is hole TW12-10 which intersected 1.00 g/t gold over 166.98 metres including 2.13 g/t gold over 47.69 metres (news release January 15, 2013).
  
  The Company is actively preparing for exploration activities for the upcoming field season on the claims acquired in November 2012 as part of an important land consolidation.  The consolidation resulted in a 10-fold increase in the land position under Temex control and significantly, a key component is a 10-kilometre long strike length of the Tyrrell Structural Zone along which the Juby Main Zone gold deposit and other gold occurrences are located.

• Whitney Gold Project, located in the center of the Timmins Mining Camp: Diamond drilling is on-going at the Whitney Gold Project. The current program is targeting potential additional high grade gold resources in the Upper Hallnor and Bonetal areas and the expansion of current in-pit gold resources, as well as follow-up drilling of the significant gold discovery in drill hole TW12-238 which intersected 7.33 g/t gold over 5.75 metres including 60.40 g/t gold over 0.50 metres and 27.50 g/t gold over 0.35 metres (news release February 12, 2013).
  
  The 2013 drill program is predominantly designed to further identify near surface, high grade gold resource targets suitable for near-term start-up production opportunities but in some areas the drilling is designed to upgrade inferred resources to the indicated category.  In addition, engineering studies on open pit and underground mining scenarios have been initiated.

• Corporate Update: The Company further strengthened its Board of Directors recently with the appointment of Mr. René Marion to the Board of Directors.  Mr. Marion brings more than 25 years of development experience and will Chair a new Strategic/Technical Advisory Committee which will report to the Board of Directors.
  
  Temex is financed with over $7M cash in the treasury.
  
  Analyst coverage was initiated by Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (October 2012) and M Partners (March 2013).
  
  Aggressive marketing campaign planned for the coming months throughout Canada, the United States and Europe.

"We are fully financed to execute on our aggressive 2013 exploration program which is focused on our two advanced gold projects, Juby and Whitney, both of which are located in the prolific Timmins - Kirkland Lake gold mining district," stated Ian Campbell, President and CEO of Temex. "The Company continues to strengthen its technical, development, and operational capabilities as it prepares to transition from an exploration to a development company."

Juby Gold Project

The Company announces results from the drill program on the Juby Gold Project (100% Temex) located near Matachewan, Ontario, 45 kilometres from AuRico Gold's Young-Davidson Mine. The drill campaign began in late November 2012 as part of the expansion of the Juby Main Zone National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") gold resource. Including holes drilled in spring 2012, a total of 37 drill holes for approximately 13,000 metres will be added into the updated resource estimate.

The results summarized below and detailed in the appended table are from drill holes which tested the area between the western limits of the current Juby Main Zone NI 43-101 resource (news releases January 16 and February 28, 2012) and previously reported holes drilled on the Golden Lake Property (news releases July 23, 2012 and January 15, 2013) where the mineralized zone is substantially wider and open to the west.  All holes drilled during the campaign successfully intersected gold mineralization typical of the Juby Main Zone ("JMZ") over wide widths.  Excellent continuity of the gold mineralization has been demonstrated and the results are consistent with expectations.

Juby Drill Results Highlights (see appended table for detailed intervals)

• GL12-15: 0.90 g/t gold over 55.00 metres including 1.54 g/t gold over 15.00 metres
• GL12-17: 0.95 g/t gold over 50.00 metres including 1.35 g/t gold over 11.69 metres
• GL12-19: 0.92 g/t gold over 35.60 metres and 1.32 g/t gold over 9.40 metres
• GL12-20: 1.07 g/t gold over 36.00 metres including 1.56 g/t gold over 20.00 metres
• GL12-21: 1.15 g/t gold over 16.66 metres

The upcoming 2013 field season focuses on evaluating the newly acquired ground to the west (news releases November 15 and November 23, 2012), and the numerous gold occurrences including Hydro Creek and Big Dome, which are directly along strike from the Juby Main Zone resource. Additional drilling will be done in conjunction with the field evaluation of the Hydro Creek and Big Dome higher grade occurrences.

The NI 43-101 gold resource estimate on the Juby Main Zone (news releases January 16 and February 28, 2012) is summarized below.

Juby Main Zone Summary NI 43-101 Resource Estimate (using a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t gold)

• 22.3 million tonnes at a grade of 1.30 g/t gold for 934,645 ounces of gold, Indicated
• 28.2 million tonnes at a grade of 1.00 g/t gold for 905,621 ounces of gold, Inferred

Whitney Gold Project Work Program and Outlook

Diamond drilling has resumed on the project with the intent to further define near surface, high grade targets suitable for early start-up production opportunities and, in some areas, upgrading Inferred resources to the Indicated category.  The overall start-up production objective will be to meet higher grade, lower tonnage, low capital, and low operating cost criteria to generate cash flow as a first phase to life of mine plan production.  Additional targets are anticipated as work continues on the Bonetal Mine, the C Zone and the Broulan Reef Mine and these will be incorporated into future resource estimates.  In addition, the Company is conducting engineering studies on open pit and underground mining scenarios.

The NI 43-101 gold resource estimate on the Upper Hallnor (news releases September 5 and October 23, 2012) is summarized below; shown on a 100% basis.

Upper Hallnor Summary NI 43-101 Resource Estimate (using a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t gold)

• 3.0 million tonnes at a grade of 2.44 g/t gold for 234,300 ounces of gold, Measured
• 8.8 million tonnes at a grade of 1.97 g/t gold for 555,900 ounces of gold, Indicated

Table 1. Significant results from drill holes reported in this release

Note: Temex implemented a quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure best practice in sampling and analysis.  Drill core samples are cut at Temex facilities using a Diamond saw with the samples transported by Temex personnel in securely sealed bags to a freighting company and from there directly to facilities operated by SGS Canada in Sudbury and Mississauga, Ontario for preparation and analysis.  Core samples are analyzed for gold using fire assay on a 30 gram split with an ICP finish.  Where initial results exceed 3 g/t gold, a second assay is completed on another 30 gram split with a gravimetric finish.  Intervals reported are core lengths.  True widths are unknown at this time but are estimated to be 65 to 75% of the drilled width, depending on the angle of the drill hole.
