Orex Appoints Willie McLucas as President and CEO of Orex Exploration

OREX EXPLORATION INC. (the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:OX)(FRANKFURT:O5D) is pleased
to announce that Willie McLucas has been appointed as President and CEO of the
Company, effective immediately, by Orex's Board of Directors. He succeeds Mark
Billings, who will remain as a director and as Chairman of the Board of the
Company.


Willie McLucas is a mining financier with over 35 years' experience covering all
aspects of the mining industry from exploration through to production in coal,
gold and base metals. His experience has taken him to Australia, Bolivia, Chile,
France, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Turkey and Zimbabwe. After an early career as
a stockbroker and fund manager, his first appointment to the board of a listed
company was with Perseverance Corporation in Australia. Perseverance developed
the Fosterville mine outside Bendigo in Victoria, Australia.


Commenting on his appointment, Willie said: "After a career working with several
Canadian companies, it is a pleasure to be able to join Orex and to focus on a
Canadian project that offers the potential of the Goldboro property in Nova
Scotia. I feel that the Goldboro property offers first-class potential to build
a Canadian-focussed mining company. The history of Orex's property, as one of
the earliest producers in Canada, and the exploration possibilities throughout
Nova Scotia, provide an exciting opportunity to become not only a producer in
the short-term but offers longer-term potential through exploration partially
funded from internally generated revenues to build further resources in the
Province."


The board of directors, as elected at the Company's annual general meeting of
shareholders on May 27, 2013, includes: Mark Billings, Michael Dehn, Will
Felderhof, Jacques Levesque (who is also CFO of the Company) and Claude Poulin.
Willie McLucas joins the Company as President and CEO, and Julie Godard remains
as Corporate Secretary of Orex.
