NGEx Announces 141.2 Metres of 0.38% Cu and 0.53 g/t Au From GJ Copper-Gold Project, British Columbia

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 13, 2011) - NGEx Resources Inc. (TSX:NGQ) ("NGEx" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received the results from the 2011 exploration program at the Company's 100% owned GJ copper-gold project located in northern British Columbia, Canada. GJ is currently under option to Teck Resources Limited ("Teck"). The results reported herein are from drill holes GJK-11-219 to GJK-11-228. Highlights include: GJK-11-219 with 141.21 metres of 0.38% Cu and 0.53 g/t Au plus 5.35 metres of 6.82 g/t Au; GJK-11-226 with 9.60 metres of 0.15% Cu and 6.64 g/t Au and GJK-11-228 with 29.15 metres of 0.18% Cu and 0.39 g/t Au (please see attached map: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/ngq1.pdf). The objective of this year's program was to better define higher-grade mineralization suggested by historical drilling at depth below the Donnelly Zone, while continuing exploration across the property at the Wolf and Seestor targets. The drill holes released today confirm and extend the Donnelly Zone and identify a new zone of previously untested mineralization at the Wolf target.

This year's exploration program took place between June and October, and included 10 diamond drill holes comprising a total of 4,307 metres of drilling and ground geophysics including 50 line kilometres of ground magnetics concentrated on the Donnelly and GJ Zones and a new area on the sides of the Wolf Plateau. The same areas were also covered with 76.6 line kilometres of Induced Polarization geophysics ("IP"). Primary goals included drill testing possible extensions of the Donnelly Zone which includes the current Measured and Indicated Resource of 153.3 million tonnes grading 0.32% copper and 0.37 g/t gold* (see news release dated October 7, 2008). Additional holes were designed to test exploration targets outside the Donnelly Zone. Three drill holes in the previously undrilled Wolf Zone (GJK-11-220, -221, and -222) confirm the presence of a potential porphyry system. The 3 drill holes in the Wolf area identified vectors in hydrothermal alteration directed towards the North and to depth.

Comprehensive data compilation, including integration of 2011 mapping, geophysics and historical geochemical data from the Donnelly, GJ, Wolf, QC, Horn and Seestor targets, will be completed during the winter in preparation for the 2012 field season.

The 2011 exploration program was 100% funded by Teck under an option agreement signed in August, 2010 whereby Teck has the right to earn an initial 51% interest by spending $12,000,000 by December 31, 2014 and up to a 75% interest by spending an aggregate of $44,000,000 by December 31, 2020.

Intervals for the holes reported today are summarized in the table below: (true widths for the reported intervals are unknown).

QAQC

The drill core was logged, sawed, and half cores were sampled in their entirety in two meter intervals or intervals corresponding to geologic breaks determined by Teck personnel and contractors at the GJ site. Samples were shipped to Acme Labs in Smithers for sample preparation. The sample pulps were analyzed by standard industry assay methods, at Acme Labs in Vancouver. Copper and gold standards, as well as blanks and duplicates (field, preparation and analysis) were randomly inserted into the sampling sequence for Quality Control.

Mr. Bob Carmichael, Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) degree from UBC, and a registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC (APEGBC), is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Carmichael is Vice President, Exploration for the Company and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release.
