Adex Mining Inc. ("Adex" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ADE) is pleased to announce that the Minister of Environment for the Province of New Brunswick has rescinded the outstanding April 27, 1999 Ministerial Order (the "Ministerial Order") with respect to the Company's Mount Pleasant Mine Property (the "Property") and has issued an Approval to Operate. The nature of the now rescinded Ministerial Order is fully described in the Company's Management Information Circular dated March 22, 2007 which is available on www.sedar.com.

"The granting of the Approval to Operate by the Province of New Brunswick is an important milestone for Adex as it constitutes a significant step in advancing the development of the Mount Pleasant Mine Property", said Kabir Ahmed, President and CEO of Adex. "The Approval to Operate is a vote of confidence by the Government of New Brunswick that the Company should be permitted to proceed on its pathway to mineral production at its past-producing Mount Pleasant Mine Property. It is the first, and very necessary, regulatory step leading towards resuming mineral production."

The Approval to Operate, which is valid until September 30, 2012, permits the Company to conduct exploration and metallurgical bench scale activities on the Property; operate the mine water treatment plant; repair and upgrade the tailings dam and mine site infrastructure; and carry out any other related and approved activities on the Property.

The Approval to Operate does not permit dewatering of the mine or underground mine operations at this stage. However, as the Company advances on its planned, and previously announced, exploration, feasibility and mine development programs, it will initiate the process of obtaining regulatory approval for dewatering and to re-start mining operations.
