Micrex Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MIX) is pleased to announce that it has contracted Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario to complete a helicopter-borne VTEM electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical survey of the Deadwood-Sunburst Property, New Mexico, which covers the historic Deadwood Mine and surrounding area.

Geophysical data from this survey will be integrated with historic information from the property and will in part assist with future drill programs. The company anticipates that the survey will be completed prior to month end, and additional data will be released as it is received.

The historic Deadwood Mine was developed upon an extensive continuous vein system, which merges within the southern part of the property. At Deadwood at least two shafts up to 180 m deep were developed, as well as several level drifts with widths up to several meters and strike lengths up to 300 metres. Historical reports indicate average grades of material removed from the mines, prior to their being shut down during World War II, at approximately 0.127 oz/ton Au (Gold) and 6.96 oz/ton Ag (Silver). Micrex has not confirmed historical grade or width information.

During 2007, a single diamond drill hole (DW07-01) was completed at Deadwood to a depth of 189.28 meters. The hole was intended to undercut the historic mineralization at Deadwood Mine; however, due to drilling complications, it did not reach the intended target depth. For DW07-01, the interval from 122.83 to 188.21 m (65.38 m) intersected 0.49 g/t Au and 28.19 g/t Ag (1.10 g/t Au equivalent(i)) The hole was prematurely ended within the fault/vein zone; therefore, mineralization is considered open at depth.

DW07-01 intersected fine-grained, disseminated pyrite, argentite/acanthite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and galena within silicified and/or brecciated volcanic rocks, and quartz/calcite veins ranging from a few centimetres to several metres in size. Fluorite and/or amethyst are also present in several of the veins and breccias, as well as box-work textures of calcite. In addition to the historic mineralization mined at Deadwood, this interval attests to the potential of the system to host large intervals of low grade Au-Ag mineralization.

Micrex has retained Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta to oversee this project.
