VAX Vantex Resources Ltd

The management of Vantex Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:VAX) announces the
resumption of drilling on the Galloway project, located in the mining region of
Rouyn-Noranda, Abitibi. Beginning today, two drills will be operating in the
Galloway-Pitchvein area to complete the 10,000 meters program planned in this
sector in order to evaluate an initial gold resource. 


The Galloway Pitchvein area extends over nearly 400 meters long, a width of more
than 200 meters and a depth of more than 300 meters. This large gold zone
remains open in its lateral extensions and at depth. The Perron zone and the
Hurd zone, intersected by historical and current drill holes, are found
respectively at about 500 meters south-west and at more than 1.5 km north-east
of the Galloway Pitchvein zone.


The Soaker Hill showing, located about one kilometer north of the main showing,
will also be the object of some drilling to verify its potential. The historical
data shows a highly anomalous gold presence in this sector of the property.


"We are very pleased to have completed a financing of approximately $ 2 million.
These funds will allow us to better define the Galloway Pitchvein showing while
allowing us to check out other gold occurrences elsewhere on the property,
including the Soaker Hill showing. Our priority remains the Pitchvein-Galloway
showing on which we should be able to build an economic gold resource in the
coming months, "stated Mr. Guy Morissette, President and CEO of the company.


Mr. Jeannot Theberge, consulting geologist and Qualified Person under NI 43101,
will supervise the field work. All samples will be tagged, bagged and shipped to
Laboratoire Expert Inc., Rouyn-Noranda, where 30 gram pulp samples will be
prepare and assay for gold (FAA). Gravimetric assay repeats (FA) will be
complete on samples with grades over 1,0 g/t Au. A strict QA/QC program
including random insertion of blanks, standards, and duplicate samples will
follow throughout the sample preparation. The NQ-size core will be log, sample
and split in two at the company's core shack in Rouyn-Noranda.


Hurd Zone (north-east extension)

The historic drilling and drilling completed last year by Vantex have shown that
the gold structure continues over 1.5 km in its north-east extension. The drill
hole VHD09-19 had intersected 31.5 meters at 0.75 g / t while drill hole 95H12
gave respectively 14 meters at 1.08 Au g / t and 12 meters at 1.09 Au g / t and
the KHD87-08 showed a grade of. 0.565 g / t over 38.16 meters and 0.843 Au g / t
over 3.20 meters.


Perron Zone (southwest extension)

Located about 500 meters south-west, the Perron zone lies partly below the
sediments of Cobalt. However, the historical data mentioned two drill holes
(conducted by Kerr Addison Mines in the 1980s) giving 401 meters 0.75 g / t
(KOD86-01) and 49.37 meters at 1.03 g / t. This area will possibly become part
of a drilling program in more depth.


Soaker Hill Zone

Also, depending on financing, the company plans to drill the Soaker Hill zone,
located about one kilometer north of the Galloway area. This area also contains
a very large gold potential and a first drilling program in this sector will
provide a better understanding of the gold structure. The stripping and channel
sampling program completed last year in this area intersected several gold
values and the historical data (drilling) demonstrates gold continuity in depth


The Galloway Project

Composed of 3 mineral concessions, 63 claims and 35 lots covering an area of
about 2,750 hectares, the Galloway project is located approximately 25
kilometers west of Rouyn-Noranda and just north of the Cadillac Larder Lake
deformation zone. The geological environment of the Galloway project is very
favorable for the discovery of gold deposits.

The Galloway area, located between two faults, is now identified over a length
of nearly 400m. Gold mineralization is mainly present in the lapilli tuffs and
in the syenite porphyry. However, the Galloway zone remains open in its
northeast (Hurd Zone) and its south-west extensions (Perron Zone). Several drill
holes in these extensions demonstrate a continuity of more than 1.5 kilometer
north-east and 500 meters to the southwest. Other historic drill holes also
showed continuity to depth as the Galloway zone has been followed to a depth of
500 meters.


In a 2006 DIVEX report, Diversification of mineral exploration in Quebec, they
describe the Galloway area as follows: "The Cadillac fault represents an
important metallotect in the sub-province of Abitibi. The absence of known
deposit in the immediate area is partly due to the fact that the corridor of
deformation of the Cadillac fault is obscured by a thick layer of sedimentary
rocks of Proterozoic age belonging to the Cobalt Group. In fact, subsidiary
structures uncovered in this area, the Francoeur-Wasa shear zone, hosts the
Francoeur, Arntfield and Wasamac mines. And further west, near Virginiatown,
Ontario, found the Kerr Addison mine which produced over 10 million ounces in a
similar geological environment. The rocks belonging to the Cobalt Group cover
areas potentially economically interesting."
