AuEx Ventures, Inc.: Pasco Canyon Agreement Signed With Christopher James Gold

  AuEx Ventures, Inc. ("AuEx" or the "Company") (TSX: XAU) is pleased to report the signing of a new exploration earn-in agreement on the Pasco Canyon Project with Christopher James Gold Corp. Pasco Canyon is located in northern Nye County, Nevada on the east side of the Toquima Range near the Round Mountain, Gold Hill and Northumberland gold deposits which are reported by the owners of those projects to have past production plus current resources of about 20 million ounces of total gold.

Pasco Canyon contains a low-sulfidation epithermal system defined at the surface by a 400 meter by 600 meter zone of boiling related breccias and quartz/adularia vein swarms. The prospect was a grass roots discovery by AuEx staff using proprietary processing of satellite imagery. This gold bearing system is located on what is believed to be the eastern edge of the Mount Jefferson Caldera with the new Gold Hill Deposit located on the western edge of the same feature.

Under the terms of the agreement, Christopher James Gold is required to expend US$3 million within four years to earn an undivided 51% interest in the project. The agreement also provides an option for Christopher James Gold to earn an additional 19% interest for a total of 70% by expending an additional US$2 million on the property within two years. Christopher James paid the Company US$10,000 on signing and is obligated to spend a minimum of US$100,000 in the first year. Work commitments escalate over the 6 year earn in period. Commenting on the new venture, President Ronald L. Parratt stated, "We are very glad to be working with Dr. E. Max Baker and Christopher James Gold on this project. They bring solid exploration experience and have the financial capability to allow the gold and silver potential of the Pasco Canyon project to be tested."
