Adex Provides Update on North Zone Tin, Indium, Zinc Bench Scale Concentrate Project

Summary

Adex Mining Inc. has provided an update on its tin, indium and zinc bench scale test project being carried out by SGS Lakefield Research Limited (SGS) of Lakefield, Ontario. The bench scale program is being used to evaluate the production of tin concentrate and zinc-indium concentrate from the North Zone (NZ) at Adex's wholly-owned Mount Pleasant Mine Property.

The program is a two-pronged approach. The first step is designed to produce indium-bearing zinc concentrate for further upgrading to a 95% indium sponge and the second step is designed to test the production of a tin concentrate for direct sale to a tin smelter. Test results will be released as soon as they are available. The bench scale program will now lead directly to a pilot plant program carried out at SGS, scheduled to begin by mid-June.

“We are very pleased with both the metallurgical and hydrometallurgical progress of our NZ testwork to date," said Errol Farr, President and CEO of Adex. "We look forward to assessing the final results of the bench scale metallurgical program, and anxiously await pilot plant results which will be used for scale up to commercial production.”

Adex Announces Bench Scale Testwork to Produce Molybdenum Oxide

Summary

Adex Mining Inc. today announced that it has engaged SGS Lakefield Research Limited (SGS) of Lakefield, Ontario to test the hydrometallurgical treatment of molybdenum concentrate from the Fire Tower Zone (FTZ) at Adex's wholly-owned Mount Pleasant Mine Property located in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada.

SGS will perform a scoping level investigation of a hydrometallurgical flowsheet that is designed to allow Adex to produce high grade ammonium molybdate at its Mount Pleasant operations. Results from test work are expected in about six weeks.

Errol Farr, the President and CEO of Adex, stated, “This investigation, while preliminary in nature, is another step toward evaluating the re-commencement of mining the FTZ. With metal prices, especially for molybdenum, showing recovery in 2010, the FTZ is demanding new attention by Adex management.” It is the goal of Adex to produce value added products with each of the mineral concentrates which may ultimately be processed at Mount Pleasant.

Adex Announces Lab Scale Production of Indium

Summary

Adex Mining Inc. has successfully developed a process for the production of a high-purity indium at its Mount Pleasant Mine Property, located in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada.

Bench scale hydrometallurgical process development work completed to date indicates that Adex’s unique process technology is capable of producing indium in excess of 88% purity. Adex is considering patent applications with respect to certain aspects of this hydromet process technology. Indium production potential at Mount Pleasant is approximately 40 tonnes per year based on processing 850 tonnes of mill feed per day.

With successful scoping/preliminary economic studies completed, Adex is now focused on piloting indium-zinc concentrate and tin concentrate production and on piloting its innovative hydromet process to produce indium and zinc metal. Successful pilot test programs will lead to a definitive feasibility study. Assuming positive results from the definitive feasibility study, Adex believes it will be well positioned to begin mine development and process equipment purchase and installation by early 2011, with production targeted for October/November 2011.
