Prominex Resource Corp.: Drill Program Planned for Reid Lot 50, Newfoundland

Prominex Resource Corp. (the "Company" or "Prominex") (TSX VENTURE:PXR) is
pleased to announce that it has completed the summer exploration program on its
100% owned Reid Lot 50 (Lake Bond) property in central Newfoundland. The
property is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty in favour of Reid
Newfoundland Limited of St. John's, NL. The Company retains the option of
purchasing 1% of the NSR for $1,000,000. 


The 2013 program comprised compilation of historic diamond drilling results,
prospecting and a soil sampling surveys. Prominex plans a follow up exploration
program comprising 18 line-km of geophysical (Horizontal Loop EM) surveys and
2,000 metres of diamond drilling based on the results of our 2013 compilation
and sampling results. The purpose of the current compilation and follow up
exploration program is to outline a near surface mineral deposit that may be
amenable to open pit mining methods.  


Various operators from the mid 1950's to 1997 have carried out geochemical
sampling, ground geophysical surveys, and completed approximately 13,300 m of
diamond drilling in 90 holes on the property. Early exploration efforts by New
Jersey Zinc Exploration Company (Canada) Limited (New Jersey Zinc, or NJZ)
defined two target areas; Main Zone, close to the western shore of Lake Bond,
and Zone 2, which is approximately 900 m west of the Main Zone, in the western
part of the property. Drilling campaigns were completed by the following
operators; New Jersey Zinc (1956), Consolidated Morrison Explorations Ltd. (CM)
(1976), MacRee Resources Inc. (MacRee) (1989), Noranda Exploration Company
Limited (Noranda) (1992/93) and First Labrador Acquisitions Inc. (First
Labrador) (1997). 


Drill records indicate that the Main Zone includes massive sulphide
mineralization as well as lower grade material known as "stringer zone" that
extends more than 500 m along strike and to vertical depths of more than 330 m
over widths that range from approximately 10 m to 75 m. In general, the Main
Zone mineralization is associated with a ground geophysical (Max-Min EM)
conductor that trends north-northeast and is dipping steeply to the west. 


In 1989, MacRee reported "indicated and possible reserves" of 507,998 tonnes for
the Main Zone at an average grade of 4.15% Zn and 0.62% Cu. MacRee also reported
a lower grade resource of 2.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.09% Zn and
0.3% Cu. The Company cautions the reader that the reported estimates of tonnes
and average grade are historical resources and they are not NI 43-101 compliant
Mineral Resources. 


The drilling campaigns by Noranda in 1992 and 1993 were successful in extending
the Main Zone at depth, with wide mineralized intersections of 2.37% Zn over
24.9 m and 1.68% Zn over 36.8 m at depths ranging from approximately 190 m to
330 m. 


The past drilling indicates that there is good potential that the Main Zone
extends to the south, and the objective for the next drilling program is to test
this potential. 


In 2012 and 2013, Prominex completed sampling of the Main Zone in and around old
trenches dug by New Jersey Zinc. Results are as follows.




--  3.77% Zn and 3.11% Cu, located near old NJZ trench No. 6, near eastern
    margin of Main Zone 
--  1.15% Zn and 1.19% Cu, located near old NJZ trench No. 8, and close to
    sample location above. 
--  1.31% Zn, near the western margin of Main Zone. 
--  Outcrop sample; 100 m north of the Main Zone returned assay results of
    1.59% Cu and 4.40% Zn. 
--  Outcrop sample; 400 m north of the Main Zone returned assay results of
    5.10% Zn. 



Listed in the Table below are some of the mineralized intersections in drill holes.
