Title: West Pequop Reports 73 Feet At 0.37 Ounces Gold Per Ton, Including 44.3 Feet At 0.50 Ounces Gold Per Ton
AuEx Ventures, Inc. ("AuEx" or the "Company") is pleased to report additional assay results, including hole WNC-139 reporting 73.3 feet (core length) grading 0.366 ounces per ton gold from the Company's West Pequop gold exploration project located in Elko County, Nevada. These results expand the extent of gold mineralization in the Section 34 target areas with mineralization still open. This data was provided by the Company's joint venture partner Agnico-Eagle (USA) Limited, from recent drilling on the 29,000 acre West Pequop Venture property. A total of 37 holes have now been reported by the Company from the 2008 drilling program with assays for 6 holes pending and drilling still underway. Agnico-Eagle has indicated to the Company that given these encouraging results they plan to continue to soley fund an aggressive exploration program for the West Pequop Venture in 2009.
New drill hole assay results for the West Pequop Venture are as follows:

Section 34 |
Exploration drilling during 2008 at the West Pequop Venture has been conducted in the Section 34, Mountain Top, Acrobat/Juggler and Range Front target areas for a total of over 35,000 feet. This work has expanded the extent of high grade gold mineralization at Section 34 and Mountain Top and established the presence of gold mineralization at the Range Front target. While drilling results in the Acrobat/Juggler area did not produce reportable results in 2008, additional drilling is nonetheless warranted and planned for this area in 2009. Gold mineralization at West Pequop has now been found in several distinct stratigraphic positions within the enclosing Cambrian and Ordovician limestone and dolomite assemblages. Gold mineralization is typical of oxidized Carlin-type occurrences and is commonly associated with faulting, felsic dikes and solution collapse breccias.
As reported to AuEx by Agnico-Eagle, all drill samples were collected following standard industry practice and were assayed by American Assay Laboratories, Inc. of Sparks, Nevada. Gold results were determined using standard fire assay techniques on a 30 gram sample with an atomic absorption finish. Samples assaying over 10 parts per million gold are routinely re-assayed using standard fire assay techniques on a 30 gram sample with a gravimetric finish. QA/QC included the insertion of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream. Check assays and preliminary cyanide amenability testing is underway. All intercepts are reported as drilled; true widths have not been calculated. All data, as reported to the Company by Agnico-Eagle and disclosed in this press release including sampling, analytical and test data have been reviewed by the Company's qualified person Mr. Ronald L. Parratt, M.Sc., and Certified Professional Geologist. Further details concerning the West Pequop property are described in the Company's National Instrument 43-101 report filed on Sedar and are on the Company's website.
