AuEx Ventures, Inc.: New Long Canyon Drill Hole Returns 0.154 Opt Over 210 Feet
20 Juillet 2010 - 4:00PM
Marketwired
AuEx Ventures, Inc. ("AuEx" or the "Company") (TSX: XAU) is pleased
to report new gold intercepts from drilling completed northeast of
the known resource area at the Company's 49% owned Long Canyon gold
exploration project located within the Pequop Gold District in Elko
County, Nevada. These intercepts include hole LC444 with 0.154
ounces per ton gold over 210 feet, hole LC462 with 0.259 ounces per
ton gold over 65 feet, and hole LC459 with 0.175 ounces per ton
gold over 88.5 feet. These holes are all infill to the previously
reported large step-outs and suggest significant resource expansion
potential in the NE sector resulting from these continued large
grade thickness intercepts of classic, oxidized, Carlin-style gold
mineralization.

True widths of the mineralized intervals will be determined by geologic
modeling. The intercept calculations use a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t gold.
Results less than 1 g/t are not reported in this press-release table. "C"

Drilling activity currently underway at Long Canyon includes 5
drill rigs conducting primarily resource definition and resource
expansion mostly in the northeastern portion of the deposit. To
date more than 99,000 feet (30,000 meters) of drilling has been
completed of a planned 149,000 feet (45,000 meters). Current work
also includes a 6 inch core program to source material for further
metallurgical test work. This material will supplement four, 15 ton
samples which were recovered from outcrop earlier this year. All of
this material will be used for further column leach testing to
confirm gold recoveries. Metallurgical test work completed to date
indicates that mineralization is treatable using conventional gold
recovery techniques.
The growing Long Canyon gold deposit consists of multiple,
sub-parallel northeast-directed zones of oxidized Carlin-style gold
mineralization aggregating 800 to 1,000 feet (240 to 300 meters) in
width with a current strike length of approximately 1.70 miles (2.7
km) that remains open to extension. Mineralization outcrops in the
central portion of the deposit, plunges shallowly to the northeast
and is amenable to open pit mining. In addition, significant
untested exploration potential is still apparent within the 12,000
acre property based on geological mapping and surface sampling.
As reported to AuEx by Fronteer Gold, 51% owner and operator,
all drill samples were collected following standard industry
practice and assayed by ALS Chemex of Reno, Nevada. Gold results
were determined using standard fire assay techniques on a 30 gram
sample with an atomic absorption finish. Samples exceeding 5 grams
per tonne gold were re-assayed using a gravimetric finish and the
values received were reported in the averages. QA/QC included the
insertion of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream,
and a check assaying program that is underway at another
laboratory. A table containing all drill results to date using a
0.3 gram/tonne cutoff is posted on the Company's website. All data,
as reported to the Company by Fronteer and disclosed in this press
release, including sampling, analytical and test data, have been
reviewed by the Company's qualified person Mr. Eric M. Struhsacker,
M.Sc., and Certified Professional Geologist as recognized by the
American Institute of Professional Geologists. Further details
concerning the Long Canyon property are described in the Company's
National Instrument 43-101 report filed on Sedar and posted on the
Company's website at www.auex.com.
AuEx Ventures, Inc. is a TSX listed precious metals exploration
company that has a current portfolio of twenty one exploration

in joint venture or exploration earn-in agreements with eight
companies. The Company applies the extensive Nevada exploration
experience and high-end technical skills of its founders to search
for and acquire new precious metal exploration projects that are

to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements
include market prices, exploration and development successes,
continued availability of capital and financing, and general
economic, market or business conditions. Please see our public
filings at www.sedar.com for further information. This press
release uses the terms "indicated resources" and "inferred
resources", which are calculated in accordance with the Canadian
National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy Classification system. We advise investors that while
those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations,
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize
them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or
all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted
into reserves. In addition, "Inferred resources" have a great
amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty
as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed
that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be
upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of
Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or
pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are
cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource
exists, or is economically or legally minable.
