Adex Mining to Commence Tin Metal Test Work

Adex Mining Inc. ("Adex" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ADE) is pleased to
announce that it has engaged Xstrata Process Support ("XPS") of Sudbury, Ontario
to test the pyrometallurgical options for the extraction of tin metal from tin
concentrate planned to be produced from the North Zone ("NZ") at Adex'
wholly-owned Mount Pleasant Mine Property ("Mount Pleasant" or the "Property")
located in south-western New Brunswick, Canada. 


The report of a preliminary assessment of the NZ completed by Adex in early 2010
(available at www.sedar.com) proposed only the production and sale of tin
concentrate from the NZ. However, due to recent advances in small scale
pyrometallurgical (smelting) technologies and following discussions with XPS,
Adex believes that the potential production of tin metal, as a final saleable
product, could have a significant positive impact on the economics of a mining
operation at the NZ. 


Consequently, XPS has been engaged to perform Phase 1 pyrometallurgical test
work to determine the options for the extraction of tin metal from tin
concentrate. The objectives and key deliverables of this test work include the
following: a) thermo-chemical modeling of the tin smelting process and the
determination of preliminary operating parameters; b) crucible testing of NZ
concentrate for the tin smelting process; and c) conceptual flowsheet
development. This test work, which is anticipated to take between 6-10 weeks to
complete, is expected to lead to additional work for the production of a final
tin metal product as an important option for consideration within a definitive
feasibility study on the NZ due to commence in early 2011.
