Novadx Ventures Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NDX) - 

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Novadx Ventures Corp, President & CEO, Neil MacDonald, reports:

Novadx Ventures Corp. ("Novadx" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NDX) announces
that it has filed its 43-101 report with the TSX Venture Exchange ("Exchange")
in connection with securing the Exchange's approval to close the acquisition of
the assets of Ikerd Mining LLC ("Ikerd") as previously announced by the Company.
Following review by the Exchange the report will be filed and available for
review on SEDAR. In connection with this closing, the Company has agreed to
further extend the loan facility previously announced on March 10, 2011 and May
28, 2011 to Ikerd Mining LLC, in order to fund current operations of Ikerd
Mining and has received an extension to July 31, 2011 from Sandstorm Metals and
Energy LLC ("Sandstorm") to close the Ikerd transaction pending Exchange
approval.


The Ikerd assets consist of four permitted surface coal mines and related mining
equipment, a stoker plant and rail load out facilities on Norfolk Southern Rail,
all located in eastern Kentucky. Of these permitted mines, only the Flatwood's
Mine has been operating. Production at the Flatwoods Mine commenced in early
2009 producing a high quality thermal coal at an average rate of 25,000 tons per
month. In early May, 2011, production at the Flatwoods Mine was idled awaiting
the issuance of a KPDES permit in connection with a new area of the mine being
developed. On May 28th, 2011, the Company announced that it had assumed
management control of Ikerd and had been designated operator under the Ikerd
mine permits. On June 6, 2011 the Company announced that Ikerd had been granted
the KPDES and the Novadx recommenced operations at the Flatwoods Mine.


Since reopening the Flatwoods Mine, the Company has focused operations at the
mine to fully develop the new mine area which is now close to completion.
Production at the mine has been increasing and is expected to reach historical
production levels beginning in August.


The Company has also initiated preliminary development at a second Ikerd mine,
the Elk Creek Mine, which is a surface strip mine located approximately 10 miles
from the Flatwoods Mine, hosts three seams of low sulphur thermal coal. All
permits, road access, and initial equipment necessary to commence operations of
the Elk Creek Mine are in place. The Elk Creek Mine has not been previously
operated and development of the mine site to date has consisted of an initial
strip cut to determine anticipated coal qualities, optimal mining procedures,
coal processing requirements and to provide samples for marketing purposes.


The Company intends to close the Ikerd asset acquisition as soon as practical
after the Exchange approval is granted. Additional documentation and audited
financial information on the Ikerd operation are being filed with the Exchange
as part of their review and consideration of the transaction. Pursuant to a Coal
Production Payment Agreement with Sandstorm previously announced on November 26,
2010, the Company's subsidiary, MCoal Corporation, has received an aggregate
US$30 million in up front deposits against future coal production from the
Company's Rosa and Rex Mines and expects to receive an additional US$8 million
up front deposit upon closing of the Ikerd asset acquisition.
