Message: Cap-Ex Announces 7.2 Billion Tonne Inferred Iron Resource

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 4, 2013) - Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CEV)(OTCQX:CPXVF)(FRANKFURT:XOV) ("Cap-Ex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the initial independent National Instrument (NI) 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate on its wholly-owned Block 103 Property in Labrador, northeast of Schefferville. Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited ("WGM"), Consulting Geologists and Engineers of Toronto, Ontario, estimated an Inferred resource of 7.2 billion tonnes at 29.2% total iron (18.9% magnetic iron). This resource estimate is based on a cut-off grade of 12.5% magnetic iron (magFe%).

"We are extremely excited with this initial resource estimate on a portion of Block 103 as we far exceeded our publically stated goals for this first resource," says Francois Laurin, President and CEO of Cap-Ex. "We have clearly demonstrated the long term potential of the project and look forward to continuing to develop it by releasing our Preliminary Economic Assessment later this quarter."

This Inferred resource covers an area with a strike length of approximately 4 kilometers (km) and a width of 2.5km. Based on the Magnetic Airborne survey previously completed, the Block 103 Property covers a strike length of approximately 12km. Mineralized zones are open towards the northwest and southeast and to depth.

Resource Estimate Details

The Mineral Resource estimate for the Block 103 Property is based on results from 81 diamond drillholes totaling 23,735 meters and is effective as of February 4, 2013. Mr. Michael Kociumbas, P.Geo., and Mr. Rick Risto, P.Geo., both with independent firm WGM, are Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101. WGM has visited the site, collected independent core samples and reviewed the QA/QC data received to date. Mr. Risto has reviewed and approved the underlying sampling, analytical and test data used for the estimate and Mr. Kociumbas is responsible for auditing the in-house Mineral Resource estimate as supplied by Cap-Ex and has approved the technical data contained in this news release. WGM is satisfied that the exploration and analytical programs carried out to-date by Cap-Ex follows Industry Best Practice Guidelines and that the database is appropriate for Mineral Resource estimation purposes. WGM is of the opinion that the iron mineralization delineated on the property will be amenable to open pit mining. The estimate is classified as an Inferred Mineral Resource, consistent with the CIM definitions referred to in NI 43-101.

This NI 43-101 compliant estimate will be filed in a Technical Report on SEDAR within 45 days of this news release. Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. Cap-Ex is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other issues which may materially affect its estimate of Mineral Resources.

The geological and Mineral Resource modelling parameters consisted of:

--  3-D wireframes created from the drillhole intersections on a cross
    sectional interpretation combining assay intervals and major
    lithological units.

--  A block model procedure (block sizes of 30 m x 100 m x 10 m) was used
    with grades interpolated utilizing an Inverse Distance estimation
    technique (ID2); Total Iron (TFe%) and Iron in magnetite (magFe%) were
    modelled.

--  A density model was created based on a best fit regression line from
    selected pycnometer data measurements based on TFe% grade, therefore
    each block in the block model has a unique specific gravity.

--  Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated for blocks with a maximum of
    600 m along strike and a maximum of 400 m on the ends/edges and at depth
    when supporting information from adjacent cross sections was available.

--  A cut-off grade of 12.5% magFe was used for the purpose of reporting
    this initial resource estimate. This cut-off grade was chosen based on
    comparison with other similar taconite deposits in the Labrador Trough.

Split drill core samples were sent to independent contractors Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, BC and SGS Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario for analyses. Total iron analysis was performed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and the magnetic component was determined by Satmagan magnetic analysis and Davis Tube analysis on selected samples. Standards, blanks, and duplicate assays were included at regular intervals in each sample batch submitted from the field as part of an ongoing Quality Assurance/Quality Control program.

Cap-Ex's exploration work on the Block 103 Property is supervised by Edward Lyons, P.Geo., a consultant to the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Lyons has verified that the results used for the resource estimate were accurate from the official assay certificates provided to Cap-Ex.
