Orex Exploration Inc.: Corporate Update

OREX EXPLORATION INC. (TSX VENTURE:OX)(FRANKFURT:O5D) would like to inform
shareholders that the Company has engaged Mercator Geological Services of
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to review all of the technical information relating to
the Company's 100%-owned Goldboro Gold Property in Nova Scotia. Mercator is a
geological consulting firm that offers expertise in project design and
management, mineral resource estimation and evaluation, drilling program
management and design, GIS-based compilation and mapping, quality assurance and
quality control studies, and NI 43-101 technical reporting.


The mandate given to Mercator by Orex comprises several specific elements. The
immediate priority for Orex is to have a review of all technical information,
which will lead to a bulk sample being done at the Goldboro Gold Property. Once
Mercator has completed its review of the data and recommended to Orex which
areas would be most suitable for such a bulk sample, the Company will then
present this plan to the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, and other
interested departments, with the objective of securing a bulk sample permit.


In addition, Orex has asked Mercator to update its 2009 NI 43-101- compliant
Mineral Resource Estimate to include the data from the 2010 and 2011 drilling
campaigns; this will likely include data that will be generated as a result of
the bulk sample. Furthermore, Orex would like to follow-up a new NI
43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate with a Preliminary Economic
Assessment, which will examine the economic feasibility of a production scenario
at Goldboro.
