Adex Reports Fire Tower Zone Drill Results, Including Six Metres of 0.77% Tungsten and 0.43% Molybdenum

  Adex Mining Inc. ("Adex" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ADE) is pleased to announce the final analytical results for the Fire Tower Zone ("FTZ") Phase 1 definition drilling program at its Mount Pleasant Mine Property in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. The results, which include six metres of 0.77% tungsten and 0.43% molybdenum, are for sampled core from 3,312 metres of drilling completed in eight holes testing the FTZ's North, South, West and East mineralized bodies.

"The tungsten and molybdenum grades returned in this group of results are equal to or higher than the values contained in our previous National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101")-compliant inferred resource estimate for the FTZ completed by Watts, Griffis and McOuat in August 2006", said Kabir Ahmed, President and Chief Executive Officer of Adex. "We look forward to utilizing the results from our Phase 1 drill program in the preparation of an updated resource estimate, which we anticipate will upgrade the FTZ to the NI 43-101 "indicated" category, which will, in turn, enable us to continue fast-tracking the Mount Pleasant Mine Property towards feasibility."

Summary analyses for FTZ holes AM-08-08 to AM-08-09 and holes AM-08-11 to AM-08-16 are as follows:

Holes AM-08-11 to AM-08-14 were drilled to better delineate the FTZ as part of Adex's updated NI 43-101-compliant evaluation of the tungsten-molybdenum-bismuth (WO3-MoS2-Bi)-bearing FTZ. Holes AM-08-08 and AM-08-09 were drilled as twins of historical Holes PRL-95-04 and PRL-95-02, respectively. The analytical results from these two holes are comparable with their twins.

Hole AM-08-15 was an angle hole drilled to the west to follow-up the intersection of significant mineralization from the additional sampling of historical Hole PRL-95-04 that had been previously announced in the news release issued by Adex on April 25, 2008 (82.3 metres down-hole grading 0.30 wt.% WO3 and 0.21 wt.% MoS2). The results of Holes AM-08-08 and AM-08-15 (shown in the table above) confirm the presence of a separate tungsten-molybdenum mineralized body east of the FTZ named the Fire Tower East Sub-Zone. Hole AM-08-16, drilled 50 metres north of historical Hole PRL-95-04, found the Fire Tower East Sub-Zone was mostly cut off by the Fire Tower Fault, but intersected a narrow shallow extension of the mineralized body.

The Phase 1 drill results are either consistent with or better than the expectations of management of Adex. Holes AM-08-08 and AM-08-15, with the intersection of the Fire Tower East Sub-Zone, demonstrates the exploration potential of extending the FTZ to the east. All Phase 1 holes were vertical with the exceptions of Holes AM-08-13a and AM-08-15.

The nature of the geological setting of the Mount Pleasant mineralized bodies hosted within and along the contacts of granite bodies and breccias results in highly variable shapes and orientations of its zones. For this reason, no estimation of true widths can be provided from these results at this stage.

Phase 2 Exploration Program at Fire Tower Zone Completed

Adex has also completed the Phase 2 exploration program at the FTZ, designed to increase the size of the mineral resource. Results of the Phase 2 program, which consisted of follow-up drill testing of the Fire Tower East Sub-Zone to the south of Hole AM-08-08 and of the Fire Tower North to the north of Hole AM-08-11, are pending.

Since early March 2008, Adex has completed 47 drill holes in total for its Phase 1 and 2 programs, testing both the tin-indium-zinc-copper and tungsten-molybdenum-bismuth zones throughout the Mount Pleasant Mine Property.

The 2008 drilling program is being completed as part of the ongoing independent review of the Mount Pleasant Mine Property. The results of this drilling program and the additional sampling of historical core in the vicinity of these holes are being compiled and incorporated into Adex's GEMCOM database of the FTZ with the purpose of generating an updated NI 43-101-compliant deposit model and resource estimate for the FTZ.

Additional information concerning the Mount Pleasant Mine Property is contained in the NI 43-101-compliant Technical Review of the Mount Pleasant Property, including a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Fire Tower Zone Southwestern New Brunswick dated August 1, 2006, completed by Paul Dunbar, M.Sc., P.Geo., Senior Associate Geologist, Andrew Hara, P.Eng., Senior Associate Mining Engineer, Robert de l'Etoile, M.Sc., P.Eng., Senior Associate Engineer, and Dorota A.
