Solex Resources Corp. announces delivery of metallurgical test facility

    VANCOUVER, Aug. 14 - Solex Resources Corp. (TSX-V: SOX) ("Solex" or
the "Company") today announced that the metallurgical test facility,
previously announced on June 13, 2008, has arrived at its operating site in
Peru.
    The facility designed, built and to be operated by SGS Minerals
Metallurgical group, will test five tonnes of samples recovered on the
Company's wholly owned Macusani South project in the Macusani Uranium District
of Southern Peru. The first samples will be delivered this week to the
facility for sample preparation, assaying and loading. The objective of this
program is to demonstrate the viability of recovering uranium using a simple,
low cost, leach circuit.
    "With our drill program underway and the test facility in place, we
remain on track to deliver metallurgical data by the end of this year," said
Jonathan Challis, President and CEO of Solex Resources.
    The Macusani South Project is the most accessible of the Company's
100%-owned projects covering 4,700 hectares. The mineralisation is hosted by
ignimbrites of the Upper Yapamayo Member of the Quenamari Formation. Extensive
surface work on the property including a ground radiometric survey with line
spacing of 100 metres (and in specific areas, 50 metres) was completed by Val
d'Or Geophysica, complemented by extensive handheld scintilometer readings and
a widespread systematic and grid based trenching and pitting programme. A
total of 377 geochemical samples were taken with a maximum reported value of
0.272% U3O8. The identified uranium minerals include autunite, torbenite and
meta-autunite.
