Platinex Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PTX) announced today initial results from the latest
drill program. In March of 2012 five holes for 870m were drilled on the property
to test coincident strong IP anomalies and high gold grain counts in till. The
drill holes tested targets along a 4.2km strike length. Due to budgeting
constraints some of the detailed logging and sampling of holes has been
postponed. However geologically significant results were observed in the
program.


The first three holes BP12-01 to BP12-03 inclusive were drilled in the area
south of Bielby Lake and are all significantly mineralized. A broad zone of
sericite and hematite alteration with focused quartz flooding in hole BP12-02
was sampled and analyzed throughout the hole which returned no significant
results. None of these holes evidenced the major shear zone trending through the
area, thus while holes BP12-01 and BP12-03 are strongly mineralized and will be
sampled ultimately it was decided that this is low priority mineralization.


Hole MP12-01 intersected a strongly chloritized but unstrained and unmineralized
intrusive syenite from top to bottom of the hole. Spot sampling of the hole has
revealed values of up to 0.324 g/tonne Au and a more thorough sampling program
will be carried out at a later date. More follow up work will be required to
locate the cause of the IP anomaly.


James R. Trusler, President and CEO of Platinex explained, "The geological
setting of this portion of the Shining Tree property is virtually identical to
the Young Davidson property in Matachewan. The syenite stocks and plugs which
are the drivers of gold in many camps such as in Matachewan is just about the
last piece of the puzzle for Platinex in Shining Tree. The syenite intersected
is an intrusive stock or plug which is coincident with the east west shear zone
striking through the property. The gold in till anomalies appear to encircle the
syenite stock. This realization will enable Platinex to refocus its next stage
of exploration."


Hole CKP12-01 drilled in the southwest corner of the property intersected mafic
to ultramafic volcanic rocks intruded by gabbro and porphyries all of which is
mineralized by a stockwork system of quartz carbonate veining. The rocks are
mildly to well strained or sheared. Portions appear to be mylonitized. A
selection of samples have been submitted for analysis and results will be
reported when available.
