TXX Tirex Resources Ltd.

Tirex Resources (TSX VENTURE: TXX) is pleased to announce it is arranging a non-brokered private placement with various institutional investors consisting of 10 million shares at $0.50 per share for total proceeds of $5,000,000.

Tirex will use the proceeds of this financing and the recently announced EBRD financing to significantly accelerate the company's exploration program and advanced stage work at Mirdita.

Tirex's program at Albania is a concurrent blend of advanced stage definition and expansion work in known areas of mineralization alongside of pure exploration in previously undrilled areas of the District. The most recently announced assays from drilling at Mirdita included a 19.3m (63.3 ft) intercept of 3.66% Cu, 1.13% Zn, 8 g/t Ag and 1.2 g/t Au including 6.7m (22 ft) grading 7.38% Cu, 1.77% Zn, 13 g/t Ag and 1.6 g/t Au (see Tirex News Release 2010-12-13).

To date Tirex has outlined four significant zones of gold-enriched copper and zinc mineralization on the property at Gurthi South No. 2, Gurthi South No. 1, Letitna and Koshaj. In late 2010 Tirex contracted SRK Consulting (United Kingdom) Ltd. to complete initial NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimates for these four deposits based on Tirex results to date. All these zones remain open for expansion. Plans for 2011 include the completion of the mineral resource estimates, a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) study and continuing exploration work with a dominant focus on drilling. The drilling will continue to both define and expand known zones of mineralization and test geological and geophysical targets with new discovery potential.

Further details on the company and the Mirdita Project can be found on the Tirex website at www.TirexResources.com.
