Prominex Resource Corp. Announces Receipt of Tulks Hill Mining Lease

Prominex Resource Corp. (the "Company" or "Prominex") (TSX VENTURE:PXR)
announced today that it has received a Mining Lease issued by the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR), Government of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) for a
portion of the Tulks Hill property (Tulks Hill Mineral Licence 10212M) located
in central Newfoundland. (see news release of May 3, 2013). The mining lease is
72.5 hectares (ha) in size, and covers the Tulks Hill volcanogenic massive
sulphide (VMS) deposit, with National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant
Mineral Resources. 


The Tulks Hill property is a joint venture between Prominex (51%, operator) and
Buchans Mineral Corporation ("Buchans") (see news release of November 12, 2007).
Recently, Buchans became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minco Plc (MIO-AIM).


About Tulks Hill

The Tulks Hill property is located approximately 60 km southwest of the former
mining town of Buchans, NL, and 40 km southwest of the Duck Pond base metal
mine, which is operated by Teck Resources Limited (Teck). The property is
accessible from both the towns of Buchans and Millertown by well-maintained
pulpwood haulage roads. The 18 MW Star Lake Hydro-electric project is located 6
km from the property. 


Discovered in 1961 by Asarco Ltd. (Asarco), the Tulks Hill prospect was explored
by the Asarco/Abitibi-Price Ltd. Joint Venture (Abitibi-Price) from 1961 to
1981. This historic exploration resulted in outlining four volcanogenic massive
sulphide (VMS) lenses termed T1, T2, T3, and T4. In 1980, the Buchans Mine
geological staff carried out a resource estimate for Abitibi-Price and reported
an inferred resource for the 4 lenses of 730,000 tonnes at an average grade of
5.5% zinc, 2.1% lead, 1.1 % copper, 45 g/t silver, and 0.4 g/t gold. The
resource estimate was based on diamond drilling at 30-metre centers, and a total
of 212 metres of underground development on the T3 lens. Prominex cautions that
the Abitibi-Price resource estimates are historical estimates and should not be
relied upon. 


In July 2008, the Company received a NI 43-101 Technical Report including an
estimate of mineral resources for the T3 Lens. This report is filed on SEDAR
(www.sedar.com) and is available on the Prominex web site (www.prominex.ca). The
Tulks Hill property is subject to net smelter return royalty ranging from 2.0%
to 2.25% on certain of the claims. 


The following summary is from the NI 43-101 Technical Report prepared for the
Tulks Hill joint venture by Mr. Hrayr Agnerian, M.Sc. (Applied), P. Geo.,
formerly of Scott Wilson RPA.


"The T3 Lens of the Tulks Hill deposit contains some 431,000 tonnes of Indicated
Mineral Resources at an average grade of 0.89% Cu, 3.97% Zn, 1.61% Pb, 35.09 g/t
Ag and 1.17 g/t Au. The 1.1% CuEq (copper equivalent) cut-off grade is based on
a minimum 2 metre horizontal thickness of mineralization. The drilling by
Prominex at Tulks Hill has confirmed the earlier results by Asarco Inc."
