LONDON, ONTARIO-(March 30, 2009) - Ontex Resources Limited (TSX:ONT) is very pleased to report on its newly updated independent NI 43-101 mineral resources estimate very recently received from Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc ("Scott Wilson RPA") on the Brookbank Gold Deposit and property.

Three recent diamond drilling programs comprising 35 drill holes totaling 10,510 meters have increased the total gold mineral inventory by 23% over the equivalent 2006 resource estimate. The Brookbank Gold Deposit property total gold resources at a 2.0 gram per tonne cut-off grade and with high values not cut are provided below for comparative purposes with the 2006 resource and have now increased to:

For the Brookbank, Cherbourg and Foxear Deposits, Scott Wilson RPA has estimated both the un-cut and cut gold Indicated and Inferred Resources for 2.0, 3.0 and 3.4 grams gold cut-off grade. The new Scott Wilson RPA NI 43-101 compliant Indicated and Inferred mineral resources at a 3.4 g/t cut-off grade, conforming to the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources dated March 25, 2009 are presented in the following link:

The recent drilling has expanded the mineral resources along strike by 200 meters towards the east. The main Brookbank Gold Deposit model now has gold mineralization over a strike length of 800 meters and to a depth of over 800 meters. Scott Wilson RPA has recommended 43 strategically designed holes be drilled on the Brookbank Property to add gold resources to inventory and to upgrade Inferred resources to the Indicated category. Drill and camp mobilization for a $2.3 million diamond drilling program designed to further increase the gold resources on the property and bring the project closer to a potential production decision is now mobilizing. Ontex continues to have the largest gold resource in the Beardmore - Geraldton Gold Belt and with the new NI 43-101 we are well on our way to make 2009 the best year ever.

Ontex Chairman and CEO Gary Conn said, "Gold discovery costs to Ontex to delineate the new NI 43-101 compliant Indicated and Inferred resource at a 3.4 g/t cut-off (uncut) are only just over $8 per ounce of gold for drilling. It is far more cost effective to find a gold mine by drilling on your own land than to go out and acquire a gold deposit providing you have the right property."

This is expected to be a very exciting year for growth in Ontex. We expect to significantly add to the gold ounces in the ground with our 2009 $2.3 million diamond drilling program. Our objective is to increase the mineral resources substantially this year. Ontex is actively in discussions with senior mining companies.

The Company has contracted Bradley Bros. Limited for the 2009 diamond drill contract. The Company's goal is to begin drilling as soon as mobilization is completed and to continue aggressively throughout the year. Such an "all-out" program will provide the basis for a future NI 43-101 resource estimate increases - anticipated for January 2010.

Ken Reading, a very well regarded explorationist, will be heading to the property to begin evaluations starting in May. Mr. Reading's primary objective will be to understand and help locate additional local structures which host the gold mineralization that have been co-active with the main conglomerate/volcanic gold-enriched contact at the Brookbank and Cherbourg properties. He will work closely with Ontex throughout 2009.

The Company welcomes everyone to the 2009 Northwestern Mines and Minerals Symposium in Thunder Bay on April 8th, where it will present a talk on the Brookbank Gold Camp.
