VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 23, 2015) - NGEx Resources Inc. (TSX:NGQ)(OMX:NGQ) ("NGEx" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an updated mineral resource estimate for the Filo del Sol silver- copper-gold deposit. Filo del Sol is located in San Juan, Province, Argentina adjacent to the border with Chile and is 100% controlled by NGEx.

Above a 0.3% CuEq cutoff, contained copper has increased by 42%, contained gold has increased by 39% and contained silver has increased by 71%.

The total Inferred Resource for the Filo del Sol deposit, at a 0.30% CuEq¹ cutoff grade is:

• 381.0 million tonnes at a grade of 0.39% copper, 0.33 g/t gold and 12 g/t silver for a copper equivalent grade of 0.69% (3.3 billion pounds of copper, 4.0 million ounces of gold, and 149.8 million ounces of silver).

This new resource estimate updates and replaces the initial resource estimate released on December 2, 2014. It incorporates data in 24 additional step-out and in-fill holes from the 2014/2015 drill program and results in a significant increase in the size of the resource.

The resource estimate presented in Table 1 below represents the total Inferred Resource, divided between oxide and sulphide mineralization and based on a copper equivalent cutoff grade. Mixed zone material, which is transitional between the oxide and sulphide zones, has been included in the Sulphide material total. Two higher-grade subsets of this resource are also broken out, one representing a discrete high-grade silver zone (the "Silver Zone") shown in Table 2, and one representing a higher- grade copper zone (the "Copper Zone") shown in Table 3. The Silver Zone and the Copper Zone are separate zones that are included within the total Inferred Resource figure.

The Mineral Resource estimate as of the effective date of August 26, 2015 is shown in the tables below:

TABLE 1: Filo del Sol Updated Mineral Resource at 0.3% CuEq Cutoff

The total resource shown above in Table 1 includes a subset of high-grade silver mineralization. The Silver Zone is tabulated below at three different silver cutoff grades.

TABLE 2:

The total resource shown above in Table 1, also includes a subset of higher-grade copper mineralization which is in addition to the high-grade silver zone. The Copper Zone is tabulated below at two different copper cutoff grades.

TABLE 3:

Commenting on today's news release, Wojtek Wodzicki, President and CEO of NGEx stated, "We are very pleased with the significant increase in the Filo Resource and particularly the increase in the size of the high grade copper and silver zones. Filo continues to exceed our expectations and confirms our belief in the continued exploration upside of this project."

In addition to the drill program completed during the 2014 / 2015 field season, a detailed surface mapping and sampling program and 23 kilometres of induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveying were done. Following the field program, this new data was integrated with all historic exploration data and the geological interpretation, including controls on mineralization and exploration targeting, was updated and refined. This work led to a more complete understanding of the controls of the portion of the mineralized system which comprises the resource estimate. Combined with several step-out drill holes which intersected good mineralization in locations predicted by the previous resource model, this data increased confidence in the geological continuity and extent of the resource volume.

Filo del Sol is a very large mineralized system in which overlapping mineralizing events combined with weathering effects, including supergene enrichment, have created several different styles of mineralization which occur over the approximately 6 kilometre strike length of the system. These include high grade gold and silver hosted in veins and hydrothermal breccias, stratabound high-grade silver- copper, and copper and gold porphyry mineralization which includes zones of supergene enrichment. Drilling to date has focused on the stratabound mineralization which accounts for most of the current resource but represents a small proportion of the overall mineralized system. The other styles of mineralization have seen very limited testing and represent highly prospective exploration targets.

The current resource remains completely open to expansion to the north, south and east, however it is interpreted to be bounded to the west by a steeply-dipping fault. Drillhole VRC93, which was drilled 1,500 metres north of the northern edge of the resource model, intersected 23 metres of 39.5 g/t silver within a longer mineralized intersection (see NGEx news release dated April 16, 2015) indicating the potential for a significant expansion of the resource in this direction. To the south, the resource model is largely bounded by the Flamenco fault which is interpreted to separate the epithermal domain to the north from the porphyry domain to the south.

Several shallow holes drilled to the south of this fault have not been incorporated into the resource model due to wide spacing and uncertain geological interpretation, however they include mineralized intersections such as: RCVI02 with 40 m at 1.19% Cu, 1000 m south of the southern edge of the resource model; RCVI07 with 62 m at 0.62% copper and 0.43 g/t gold, 480 m south; VRC08 with 34 m at 0.61% copper, 1200 m south; and RCVI20 with 144 m at 0.45% copper and 0.19 g/t gold, 470 m south. These intersections indicate the potential to significantly expand the resource into this area with additional exploration and infill drilling.

An historic metallurgical test program completed in 2001 by Novatec A.A. of Santiago, Chile (see the Filo del Sol Technical Report dated December 19, 2014 available under the Company's profile on SEDAR for details) provided encouraging results with excellent recovery of copper through leaching with dilute sulphuric acid solution, including several samples which leached with only potable water. It should be noted that, although the Company believes this test work provides accurate information regarding the potential leach recoveries of material from Filo del Sol, it has not yet completed any work to verify these results. The Company plans additional test work in 2016 to verify the earlier work, and assess whether the oxide and mixed material could be amenable to heap leaching.

ESTIMATION METHODS

The resource estimate was completed by James N. Gray, P.Geo. of Advantage Geoservices Ltd., an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by CIM Council, as amended. Estimation methods are summarized below. Further details of the estimation methods and procedures will be available in a NI 43-101 Technical Report which will be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), within 45 days from the date of this release.

The resource estimate is controlled by a geologic model based on the interpretation of drilling on 100 metre spaced cross-sections. An additional 24 holes have been included in this resource update compared to the initial 2014 Inferred Mineral Resource. In total, 114 holes (18 core and 96 RC) have been utilized in the resource estimation. Copper, silver, gold, and molybdenum assays were composited to a constant length of two metres. Outliers to the composite distributions were controlled by high -grade capping. Grades for the four elements were estimated by ordinary kriging using Gemcom^� software, into 15 x 15 x 10m blocks. Average rock densities were applied based on the geologic model. A total of 878 density measurements have been made on core samples. Bulk density for the deposit averages 2.31 tonnes/m³.

Reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction were established by the optimization of a Whittle^� pit shell using the following parameters: Cu $3/lb, Ag $23/oz, Au $1300/oz, Cu recovery 84%, Ag recovery 77%, Au recovery 70%, slope of 42�, mining cost of $2.2/t and process (including G&A) cost of $7.4/t. Contiguous blocks were assigned as Inferred Mineral Resource where they are nominally: within 50m of a drillhole and/or have sample data in at least three octants of a 150m spherical search and fall within the optimized pit shell. At a copper equivalent cutoff grade of 0.3%, the optimized pit shell results in a strip ratio of 1.7 : 1.

A National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report detailing the updated resource estimate will be filed within 45 days of the date of this news release.
