Micrex Development Corp.: Update on the St. Charles Quebec Magnetite/Rare Earth Property

Micrex Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MIX) is pleased to announce that the
Company has issued tenders for an immediate drilling and exploration program for
the St. Charles Magnetite property in Quebec.


This phase of the drill campaign will be for approximately 2700 metres (8000
feet) at a cost of approximately $700,000. This drilling will allow a resource
calculation for St. Charles under the current guidelines.


Previous historical drilling of 72 holes hit magnetite in every hole. The
currently known size of the deposit is about 1200 feet (400 metres) wide and one
mile (1600 metres) long. The total depth of the deposit is largely unknown
although some holes did not bottom out at 125 feet.


Micrex is also negotiating with a large international company to finance the
plant and has reached an agreement in principal that will be finalized shortly.
The plant is expected to produce a heavy media product of 320 mesh which can be
readily used in coal production, iron sulphate production and for water
purification plants.


The local Quebec and Atlantic seaboard market for magnetite required for water
purification is estimated at approximately 80,000 tons annually. Depending on
the purity, such magnetite concentrate is quoted at $150.00 to $200.00 per ton.
Initially this will be the focus for Micrex in the coming months.


To satisfy end users request, Micrex will commission Corem, a metturgical
facility in Quebec City known for its expertise with iron ore, to produce a
pilot plan test in order to produce about 100 tons of magnetite concentrate
suitable as material for heavy media applications and iron ore chemical
composition.
