Adex Mining Inc. ("Adex" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ADE) is pleased to announce the signing of a second drilling contract (the "Agreement") with Lantech Drilling Services Inc. to advance development at its wholly owned Mount Pleasant Mine Property ("Mount Pleasant" or "the Property"). This second drill, which is expected to be delivered to the Property by May 1, 2008, is in addition to the first drill that Adex expects will be delivered to the Property by March 1, 2008.

"With the completion of a recent $3 million flow-through equity financing, Adex is well poised to accelerate the exploration and development of Mount Pleasant," said Kabir Ahmed, President and CEO of Adex. "Once the second drill is in place at Mount Pleasant, Adex will be able to more rapidly upgrade the quality of the resource estimates at all three of the Property's key mineralized zones - Fire Tower, North and Deep Tin. This should lead to an accelerated timeline for commencing the feasibility study on the Property."

With the signing of a second drilling contract, the drilling program is now scheduled to include a minimum of 10,000 metres of drilling at the Fire Tower, North and Deep Tin zones of Mount Pleasant, and will target highly promising tungsten-molybdenum and tin-indium-zinc mineralization. Exploratory drilling will also be conducted at the Property's Saddle Zone to expand existing mineral resources and delineate additional zones of mineralization. (A full description of the planned drilling program can be found in the Company's press release dated September 25, 2007.)

The Agreement was entered into by Lantech Drilling Services Inc. and Adex Mining Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Adex Minerals Corp. Lantech is a Canadian corporation registered in the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Ontario and Quebec, operating from its head office located in Dieppe, New Brunswick.
