Title: Gold Mineralization Extended 500 Meters Southwest At Long Canyon

AuEx Ventures, Inc. ("AuEx" or the "Company") is pleased to report new gold drill intercepts from the ongoing 2009 exploration drilling program, including 0.089 ounces per ton over 99.5 feet, underway at the Company's 49% owned Long Canyon gold exploration project located in Elko County, Nevada. Fronteer Development Group, Inc. ("Fronteer"), operator and 51% owner, provided these results to the Company from new holes completed as part of the 2009 drilling campaign (see attached map).These new drill results extend drilled gold mineralization an additional 500 meters to the southwest along the original surface gold anomaly based on earlier soil and rock sampling data. The Long Canyon gold deposit continues to grow with significant upside still apparent within the 12,000 acre property. All mineralization encountered to date in the 2009 drilling program continues to be oxidized, shallow and open to extension.

The following table summarizes the new reportable assay results:

Hole ID	From	To	Intercept Length	Au	From	To	Intercept Length	Au
	(feet)	(feet)	(feet)	oz/T	(meters)	(meters)	(meters)	(gpt)
LC303C	15.0	26.8	11.8	0.075	4.6	8.2	3.6	2.57
LC311C	130.0	152.5	22.5	0.048	39.6	46.5	6.9	1.65
	306.0	346.0	40.0	0.029	93.3	105.5	12.2	1.00
LC329C	84.0	183.5	99.5	0.089	25.6	55.9	30.3	3.06
including	142.0	160.3	18.5	0.298	43.3	48.9	5.6	10.20
	199.0	218.0	19.0	0.088	60.7	66.5	5.8	3.02

True widths of the mineralized intervals are interpreted by Fronteer to be between 70-100% of the reported lengths. Results less than 1 g/t are not reported in this press-release table. "LCG" identifies geotechnical holes and holes ending in "C" indicates core. A table of comprehensive drill results, including non-reportable intercepts, is posted on the Company's website.

The Long Canyon gold deposit consists of a series of multiple, parallel, north- to northeast-directed zones aggregating 800 to 1,000 feet in width with a current strike length of approximately 1.36 miles (2.2 kilometers). Mineralization is both strataform and structurally controlled and is hosted within a sequence of eastward dipping Cambrian and Ordovician limestone and dolomite. Mineralization is oxidized, starts at the surface and is open along strike and at depth. Two core and two reverse circulation drill rigs are active on the property and are expected to drill through the end of November.

In addition to continuing exploration drilling, other activity underway includes further metallurgical evaluation based on large diameter ("PQ") core recovered earlier this year and preparation of a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) which should be completed before year end. An updated resource estimate for Long Canyon is planned for completion in the 1st quarter 2010 incorporating data from the 2009 drilling campaign.

As reported to AuEx by Fronteer, all drill samples were collected following standard industry practice and were assayed by ALS Chemex of Reno, Nevada. Gold results were determined using standard fire assay techniques on a 30 gram sample with an atomic absorption finish. Samples exceeding 5 grams per tonne gold were re-assayed using a gravimetric finish and the values received were reported in the averages. QA/QC included the insertion of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream, and a check assaying program is underway at another laboratory. A table containing all drill results to date reported to a 0.3 gram/tonne cutoff is posted on the Company's website. All sampling, analytic and test data, as reported to the Company by Fronteer and disclosed in this press release, been reviewed by the Company's qualified person Mr. Eric M. Struhsacker, M.Sc., and Certified Professional Geologist as recognized by the American Institute of Professional Geologists. Further details concerning the Long Canyon property are described in the Company's National Instrument 43-101 report filed on Sedar and are on the Company's website.

AuEx Ventures, Inc. is a TSX listed precious metals exploration company that has a current portfolio of twenty three exploration projects in Nevada, one project in Spain and two projects in Argentina. The Company controls about 176,000 acres of unpatented mining claims and fee land in Nevada. Ten of the projects are in joint venture or exploration earn-in agreements with six companies. The Company applies the extensive Nevada exploration experience and high-end technical skills of its founders to search for and acquire new precious metal exploration projects that are then offered for joint venture.

Although the management of AuEx believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploration and development successes, continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions. Please see our public filings at www.sedar.com for further information. This press release uses the terms "indicated resources" and "inferred resources", which are calculated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Classification system. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "Inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally minable.
