Temex and East West acquire nickel-copper-PGE property south of McFaulds Lake and Noront discovery

TSX Venture Exchange: TME, Frankfurt Exchange: TQ1

TORONTO, April 1 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange:TME,

Frankfurt:TQ1) ("Temex" or "the Company") announces that it has expanded its

land position in the area of the Noront Resources Eagle One and Eagle Two

nickel-copper-platinum group element (Ni-Cu-PGE) discoveries in the McFaulds

Lake area, Ontario. The latest land acquisition, referred to as the Fishhook

Property (the "Property"), includes one contiguous group of 968 claim units

covering 34,560 acres, pursuant to a joint staking agreement with East West

Resource Corporation ("East West") as equal partners, located 15 kilometres

east of the GP Property, a group of 333 claim units announced by Temex and

East West March 19, 2008.

Highlights:

- Extensive contiguous land position covering 34,560 acres adjacent and

proximal to properties held by Northern Shield Resources Inc., Impala

Platinum Holdings Ltd., International Nickel Ventures Inc., Vale Inco

Limited, and others

- Property covers the interpreted basal portion of, and the possible

'feeder conduits' to, the large mafic to ultramafic, Highbank Lake

Intrusion

- Property covers untested airborne EM anomalies from previous

geophysical surveys

The Fishhook Property, located approximately 45 kilometres to the south

of the Noront discoveries, was staked to cover the interpreted basal portions

of the Highbank Lake Intrusion. It is contiguous to the west of the area

actively being explored by International Nickel Ventures Inc. on their

Fishtrap Property, and by Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield")

and Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. ("Implats") on their Highbank Lake Project.

Implats is the world's second largest producer of platinum, with production

from mines in the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, which hosts roughly 80% of

the world's known PGE reserves.

Recent work by Northern Shield has led to the conclusion that the

Highbank Lake intrusion represents a large layered mafic to ultramafic

intrusive complex with potential to host extensive layered PGE "reef"

mineralization similar to that found in the Bushveld Complex. The Highbank

Lake Intrusion covers some 500 square kilometres, ranking it as one of the

ten largest intrusive complexes of its kind in the world (source

www.northern-shield.com).

In addition to the potential for reef style PGE mineralization, Temex and

East West interpret that the area near the base and below the Highbank Lake

intrusion has potential to host significant Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in the

conduits or feeders below the intrusive suite, a setting analogous to the

Noront discoveries and other large Ni-Cu-PGE deposits. The companies interpret

from available published airborne magnetic and geological data that the basal

portions of the intrusion and the location of the "feeder dykes" or "magma

conduits" are likely to exist on the Fishhook Property.

Furthermore, the companies have identified at least two potentially

significant untested airborne EM anomalies from a previous survey that covers

only a small portion of the Fishhook Property. The companies anticipate that

new detailed airborne geophysical surveying will commence in April using the

VTEM system of Geotech Ltd. with results expected in May; targets will then be

prioritized for a follow-up drill program.
