Prominex to Evaluate New Projects in Medical Marijuana and Hemp Industries

Prominex Resource Corp. (the "Company" or "Prominex") (TSX VENTURE:PXR)
announces that management intends to evaluate opportunities and new projects in
the Hemp and Medical Marijuana industries within Canada.  


Mr Gordon Barron stated that "Recent changes to legislation in Canada and the US
have dramatically altered the growth potential of these industries. Industrial
hemp has many uses, including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics,
construction, health food, bio-fuel and medicine. It is increasingly apparent
that a growing proportion of the medical community believe that medical
marijuana and more specifically "cannabinoids", hold potential to help patients
who are suffering from a variety of ailments and illnesses. The company intends
to pursue all opportunities that may increase shareholder value in the new and
exciting field of medical marijuana use and the hemp industries." 


At this time, no transactions are in place, nor is there any assurance that a
new project will be concluded in the future.  


In the interim, management continues to evaluate all transactions, opportunities
and activities in respect of the Tulks Hill and Reid Lot 50 projects in central
Newfoundland.
