ADEX DRILL RESULTS INCLUDE
ADDITIONAL HIGH-GRADE INDIUM-ZINC INTERSECTIONS AT MOUNT PLEASANT
Toronto ? July 31, 2008 ? Adex Mining Inc. (?Adex? or the ?Company?) (TSX-V: ADE) is pleased to
announce results from the fourth, sixth and seventh holes (AM-08-04, AM-08-06
and AM-08-07) of its 2008 diamond drill program at the Mount Pleasant Mine
Property in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. In addition, Adex announces
that updated results from the re-assay of four samples of over-limit indium
(greater than 1,000 parts per million (?ppm?)) in previously announced hole
AM-08-03 are now available. The results for these four vertical holes,
from sampled core intersecting the property?s Deep Tin Zone, include a number
of significant indium readings.
?Adex?s 2008 drill testing program at Mount
Pleasant is continuing to yield encouraging results,? said
Kabir Ahmed, President and CEO of
Adex Mining. ?This work will be instrumental to us in preparing updated mineral
resource estimates for Mount Pleasant,
which in turn represents an important step in fast-tracking the project to the
feasibility stage of development.?
Results from hole AM-08-03 have been revised upwards
to indicate that the hole?s 198-metre intersection from 12 to 210 metres down
hole previously announced in the Company?s press release dated July 7, 2008 now
contains an average grade of 258 grams per tonne (g/t) indium, with the
18-metre contained interval 63 to 81 metres down hole containing 1,920 g/t
indium.
Results from holes AM-08-04 and AM-08-07 include two
samples each of over-limit indium (greater than 1,000 ppm). These samples are
undergoing re-assay that will result in an upward revision in indium contents
for these holes.
Detailed results for holes AM-08-03, AM-08-04,
AM-08-06 and AM-08-07 are as follows:

AM-08-03, AM-08-04, AM-08-06 and AM-08-07 are
definition holes drilled as part of Adex?s National Instrument 43-101 (?NI
43-101?)-compliant evaluation of its tin-indium-zinc-copper bearing North and
Deep Tin Zones. These holes are particularly encouraging because the results to
date appear to suggest the mineralization associated with the Deep Tin Zone
(non-NI 43-101 compliant) manifests towards the surface. A drill has been
moved to the target area to conduct additional follow-up testing based on these
results. The historical, non-NI 43-101 compliant total ?resource? at the North
and Deep Tin Zones consists of 3,645,429 tonnes of 0.80wt.% (weight percent)
tin, 107 ppm (107 g/t) indium, 0.87wt.% zinc and 0.19wt.% copper, based on a
1997 feasibility study completed by Kvaerner Metals Davy Ltd.
The historical estimates presented above with respect
to the North Zone and the Deep Tin Zone were prepared prior to the
implementation of NI 43-101. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to
classify these historical estimates according to NI 43-101 standards or the
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards and
Adex is not treating these historical estimates as current mineral resources as
defined in NI 43-101. They are presented because Adex considers them to
be relevant and of historic significance. These historical estimates
should not be relied on.
The nature of the geological setting of the North
Zone?s mineralized bodies results in highly variable shapes and orientations of
its zones. For this reason, no estimation of true widths can be provided for
results at this stage. Drilling at both the tin-indium-zinc-copper and
tungsten-molybdenum zones at the Mount Pleasant Mine Property is continuing,
with both drills in operation on the property.
The 2008 drilling program is being completed as part
of an ongoing review of the Mount Pleasant Mine Property with the purpose of
completing an updated NI 43-101-compliant evaluation of the mineral resources.
Additional information concerning the Mount Pleasant
Mine Property is contained in the NI 43-101 compliant Technical Review of the
Mount Pleasant Property, Including a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Fire
Tower Zone Southwestern New Brunswick dated August 1, 2006 completed by Paul
Dunbar, M.Sc., P.Geo., Senior Associate Geologist, Andrew Hara, P.Eng., Senior
Associate Mining Engineer, Robert de l?Etoile, M.Sc., P.Eng., Senior Associate
Engineer, and Dorota A. El-Rassi, M.Sc., P.Eng., Geological Engineer of Watts,
Griffis and McOuat Limited, and Dr. Trevor Boyd, Ph.D., P.Geo., Independent
Consultant, which is available at www.sedar.com
