HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) -

Gregory Isenor, P.Geo., President and CEO of Merrex Gold Inc. ("Merrex")(TSX VENTURE:MXI) announces that Merrex has closed the final tranche of the private placement announced April 27, 2009.

Initially announced April 27, 2009, the maximum offering of 7,500,000 Units was increased to 8,474,300 Units due to investor demand.

"In a difficult market environment Merrex set out to raise $1,500,000 and our placement ended up oversubscribed at $1,694,860," said Gregory Isenor, President and CEO of Merrex Gold. "I think this speaks volumes for the quality of our Siribaya Gold Project and the faith our investors have in it. We thank all of our private placement subscribers for their support."

Merrex closed the second and final tranche of 5,704,300 units at a price of $0.20 per unit (the "Unit") to net $1,113,665 to treasury after paying finders' fees of $27,195. The Units consist of one share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.30 per share until May 28, 2010. The shares are subject to a four-month hold period expiring September 29, 2009. On April 29, 2009 the first tranche of 2,770,000 units was closed netting $516,620 to treasury.

Merrex's principal projects are its Siribaya Gold Project in Mali (West Africa), an advanced exploration project with an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate and the Jubilee Zinc Deposit in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, also with a NI 43-101 resource estimate.
