MONTREAL, April 1 /CNW Telbec/ - Argex Mining Inc. (Argex) (TSX-V: RGX) (FSE: ASV) (OTCBB: ARGEF) reports additional final results intersected from drilling at the La Blache property, West Hervieux target. Results from the drilling is being included in a National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report on the mineral resource estimate for the La Blache Project currently being completed by Met-Chem Canada Inc of Montreal Quebec.

Drilling on West Hervieux was carried out in two phases. Phase I consisted of holes HW-10-001 to HW-10-040, and Phase II consisted of holes HW-10-041 to HW-10-060. Selected results are available in Table 1 below. A complete list of results from West Hervieux is available at the end of this release in Table 2.

"We are excited to see the rather homogenous grades of mineralization with the titaniferous magnetite and ilmenite intersected in drilling at West Hervieux" comments Argex's president and CEO Michael Dehn. "With the wide intersections of mineralization often right at or near surface it should allow us excellent access for a bulk sample."

A drill plan of the holes, as well as cross sections can be viewed at:

On the La Blache Property, the first outcrops of titaniferous magnetite found in an anorthosite were discovered at Schmoo Lake in 1952 by Anglo-Canadian Pulp and Paper Mills Ltd., which later founded the Bersimis Mining Company. From 1951 to 1954, the Bersimis Mining Company performed airborne and ground dip-needle magnetic surveys, geological mapping, surface sampling and assaying, as well as metallurgical testing. Four iron lenses distributed over a distance of 15 kilometres were identified: West Hervieux, East Hervieux, Schmoo Lake and La Blache East. This was followed by twenty (20) exploration drill holes done in 1964 which showed several intersections of major strength containing more than 45% Fe and 15% TiO2.

In 2009, work carried out by Argex consisted of a helicopter-borne survey of the La Blache Property. This 418.5-line-kilometre survey conducted in November 2009 by Géophysics GPR International of Longueuil, Québec, consisted of a magnetic, electromagnetic (VLF) and spectrometric survey. Based on analysis of the survey results, Argex decided to carry out a diamond drilling program on the showings in the East Hervieux and West Hervieux.

On the West Hervieux showing, the helicopter-borne survey revealed a magnetic anomaly with a different shape. This anomaly is oriented north-south, and is 700 metres long by 400 metres wide. Magnetic highs aligned with the regional structure lie on either side. The electromagnetic survey did not reveal any conductors corresponding to the ilmenite mineralization. The holes were oriented toward the northwest or southeast, depending on the topography. Hole HW-10-043 was drilled toward the east to see whether the mineralization might extend under the lake, and Hole HW-10-039 was drilled at N230° to intersect the mineralized sections. The plunge was generally at -50°, with the exception of certain holes plunging at -70° or -87° to test for mineralization at depth.

A total of 20,294 metres were drilled on the La Blache Property, including 10,936 metres on East Hervieux and 9,358 metres on West Hervieux. The drilling campaign was aimed at confirming the historical values of the 1964 drilling campaign. The two mineralized zones on the La Blache Property are made up of massive titaniferous magnetite, black in colour, with a high density of around 4.5. Greenish, semi-massive zones are also found, likely consisting of serpentine. The host rock is an anorthosite containing over 90% labradorite crystals and/or gabbroic anorthosites richer in amphibolites and/or pyroxenes. The iron content ranges from 35% to 47% Fe, titanium from 7% to 12% Ti and vanadium from 0.17% to 0.30% V.

Results for East Hervieux will be out shortly once composite assays intersection calculations have been completed.

Argex also would like to thank Michael Curtis, who has resigned from the board of directors, for his past dedication to the company, and wish him success as he takes on new endeavors.

The drill program was planned and is being supervised by Jean-Sébastien Lavallée, P.Geo (OGQ #773), Consul-Teck Exploration Inc., of Val d'or, Québec, Argex's Mining Inc. consulting geologist and qualified person since 2007, as well as reviewing and approving this release. The drilling is being completed by Major Drilling Group International Inc, with crews being based out of the Val d'or, Québec office Samples were sent for analysis in sealed containers to the Chemex laboratory in Val-d'Or by employees of Consul-Teck Exploration Inc. Chemex is the laboratory used for analysis of all samples from programs on the La Blache property. The samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation. The samples are crushed to 70% minus 2 mm, then separation and pulverized to 85% passing 75 μm. All samples are analyzed using ICP-81 (Iron-Titanium) and using ME-XRF-10 for Vanadium.
