Dorex Begins Summer Exploration - Strawberry Flats Gold
Project
Dorex Minerals Inc. ("Dorex" or the "Company")
has received final approval from British Columbia Ministry of Mines to
carry out its 2010 summer exploration program on the Strawberry Flats
Gold Project located in Southern British Columbia, approximately 20 kilometres
northwest of the historic Rossland Mining Camp, from where over three
million ounces of gold have produced.
The Company's 2010 exploration program is designed
towards delineation of drill targets for a Phase II diamond drilling
program by confirming and expanding on historical work from the
Property including a trenching program completed by Cameco in
1989-1990. The 1989-1990 programs were conducted to follow-up on
a potential bedrock source of gold-in-soil anomalies within the Strawberry
Flats Gold Project. Cameco's "Trench No. 5" averaged 7.04
g/t Au (from continuous one-metre-long chip samples) over its 12
metre length and exposed a seven metre wide fault zone with
heavily silicified and
pyrite-chalcopyrite-galena-sphalerite-iron-carbonate veined sections,
with the a single two metre section reported to average 39.16 g/t
Au and 6.55 g/t Ag. Cameco's report indicated
that the seven-metre-wide, west-northwest-trending mineralized
structure exposed in Trench No. 5 is of sufficient grade to warrant
follow-up along strike in both directions and at depth.
Dorex plans to expand the historic soil grids on the
Property and collect approximately 1,000 soil samples on a 50 x 50
metre systematic grid followed by mechanized trenching on historic and
any newly generated geochemical anomalies generating drill
targets.
The Strawberry Flats Gold Project is adjoins the
Jumping Josephine gold project owned by Astral Mining Corp. and
Kootenay Gold Inc. Drilling results from Astral on the Jumping
Josephine main zone have included 10 metres of 9.95
g/t Au and eight metres of 8.31 g/t gold.
In addition, Astral Mining Corp. has announced new geochemical
anomalies discovered from its 2009, 4,600 soil sampling program on the
Jumping Josephine project. As with Trench No. 5 at the Strawberry
Flats Gold Property, local high-grade concentrations of gold are common
on Astral's Jumping Josephine project, including one-metre intervals of
50.2 g/t gold and 61.8 g/t
gold. In addition, Astral and Kootenay have applied for a
10,000-tonne bulk sampling permit from their Jumping Josephine main
zone, where initial flotation tests averaged 98-per-cent gold recovery
(see Astral news releases in Stockwatch on Oct. 15, 2009; Oct. 29,
2009; Dec. 16, 2009, Jan. 18, 2010, and Feb. 2, 2010; also see the
Jumping Josephine technical report dated July 14, 2009 [on SEDAR]).
Dorex Minerals Inc. has option agreement with St.
Elias Mines to earn 60% in the Strawberry Flats gold project. (see
March 3, 2010, news release in Stockwatch).

*The geological information and analytical
results reported above predate National Instrument 43-101, and are not

relied upon. It is the Company's intention to verify the
historical data and confirmation work may produce results that differ
substantially from the historic results.
