Orex to Pursue Exploration Work on Goldboro Gold Project

OREX EXPLORATION INC. (TSX VENTURE:OX)(FRANKFURT:O5D) and OSISKO MINING
CORPORATION (TSX:OSK)(FRANKFURT:EWX) would like to inform shareholders that
Osisko has terminated its option to acquire an interest in the Goldboro Gold
Property in Nova Scotia. As per the terms of the agreement entered into in 2009,
Osisko had to incur exploration and development expenditures in the aggregate
amount of at least $3,500,000 on or before today, September 29, 2011. The
management of Osisko informed Orex that this threshold had not been reached
after the most recent drilling campaign earlier this year, and that Osisko would
not be continuing further exploration or development work at Goldboro. Hence,
the option granted to Osisko has expired.


The results from the 2010 and 2011 drilling campaigns demonstrate the presence
of gold mineralization across the 2.5-km strike length of the Goldboro Gold
Property. As outlined in our August 11, 2011 news release, these drilling
results indicate the presence of numerous, narrow high-grade gold veins along
the axis of the Goldboro anticline. Osisko's interest in the property was for
the exploration of a bulk-tonnage, open-pit mining operation at Goldboro. While
the results from the 2010 and 2011 drilling campaigns are encouraging, they
indicate the presence of a smaller deposit potentially minable by selective
underground methods focussed on the veins, or alternatively a relatively shallow
open pit operation, both of which are outside the scope of Osisko's exploration
and acquisition strategy.


On August 4, 2009, Orex announced Mineral Resource Estimates for Goldboro. At a
1.5 g/t gold cut-off, there are 2,711,000 tonnes grading 4.56 g/t gold,
totalling 397,200 gold ounces in the Measured + Indicated Resources categories,
with an additional 3,438,000 tonnes grading 3.67 g/t gold, totalling 405,926
gold ounces in the Inferred Resource category. The 2010-2011 work program has
demonstrated that mineralization extends outside the know resource envelope at
Goldboro, and Orex management believes that the gold resources can be further
developed and could potentially be economically mined. Further work by Orex will
be focussed on developing the resources and exploring various mining scenarios.
Orex will be communicating to shareholders shortly its plans to move forward the
Goldboro Gold Project.
