View News Release and Maps in PDF Format
Vancouver, B.C., July 24, 2008 - Geologix Explorations Inc. (the ?Company?) is pleased to announce initial results from an ongoing drilling program aimed at testing the depth and expansion potential of currently known mineralization. Step out drilling to the northwest in Zone 2 has discovered significant mineralization to a depth of 417 metres in a previously untested area of the project. Please visit the Company's website at www.geologix.ca for an updated plan map or view the PDF link above.
Highlights of the initial deep drilling program are listed below:

* Gold Equiv is based on contained metal and estimated using commodity prices based on a four year rolling average for all metals ($USD) and recoveries of: Gold -- $559.74/oz and 95%, Silver -- $10.17/oz. and 87%, Lead -- $0.69/lb. and 91%, and Zinc -- $1.04/lb and 92%.
Dunham Craig, President and CEO stated: ?the Company is very pleased with the depth and grade indication in Hole SA-216 which was the second hole of our continuing deep drilling program. This opens up the north west side of Zone 2 for additional step out drilling and depth targets. Drilling on the other side of Zone 2 in holes SA-202 and SA-207 has widened the zone considerably to the south east and remains open for expansion. Drilling in the Main Zone and Zone 4 has returned positive results that will be utilized in the preparation of the Company?s second resource calculation expected to be completed this fall.
In addition, our high grade gold/silver Liscay project in Peru and bulk tonnage La Casita project in Mexico are now prepared for drilling in the fall of this year. We are very excited about the Company?s development and are looking forward to events for the balance of 2008. ?
San Agustin surface mapping, sampling, and geophysics have been completed throughout the remainder of the property and numerous drill targets have been identified at distances up to one kilometre from the Main Zone. These targets will be drill tested on a priority basis in the Company?s continuing exploration program. To date the Company has only drilled approximately 15% of the project area, yet early exploration data compiled on the balance of the property points toward ongoing potential for expansion of this mineralization system. A reverse circulation drill has been contracted and the Company is awaiting delivery to the project to commence drill testing these highly prospective areas.
Phase III core drilling with three Diamond drill rigs is continuing to test multiple target areas within and surrounding the known mineralization. Additional phase III drilling results will be released as they become available. A summary of assay results from the latest drilling can be found in Table 2 below.
