Bracemac-McLeod Mine Development Continues To Track On Budget

Donner Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DON)(FRANKFURT:D4M),

provides an update on the continued development of the Bracemac-McLeod Mine as reported to the Company by partner and project operator Xstrata Canada Corporation-Xstrata Zinc Canada Division ("Xstrata Zinc"). The main access ramp reached 2,300 metres at Bracemac in early December, in advance of the scheduled year-end target, allowing full multi-face development to begin later in January. Total development now stands at 2,500 metres, including the main ramp to McLeod, three ramps turned off to the Bracemac Zones, and a turn-off to the backfill raise. The backfill raise, when completed, will be used as temporary ventilation until the ventilation raise is completed in the fall of 2012. Multi-faced development will now continue to the Bracemac Zones and the in the main ramps accessing the McLeod Zone. Mr. Keats states that, "We are proud of the development team for keeping this project on budget and on schedule in an environment where such a good news story is rare." David Patterson, Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, goes on to say, "Having Xstrata as a partner in this project has ensured cost control and has reduced the risk for Donner."

The Bracemac-McLeod Mine is scheduled to be ready for production in early 2013.

Temex Announces Substantial Increase in the Gold Resource Estimate for Juby Main Zone

Temex Resources Corp. (TSX-V: TME, FWB: TQ1)

announces the updated National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") resource estimate on the Juby Main Zone located in the Shining Tree area of Eastern Ontario.

The updated mineral estimate, which now includes diamond drill results from the Company's 2010 and 2011 exploration campaigns, is 50% larger than the Company's previous resource estimate published in June 2010.

Highlights:

  • Indicated resource is 934,645 ounces gold grading 1.30 g/t at 0.40 g/t cut-off
  • Inferred resource is 905,621 ounces gold grading 1.00 g/t at 0.40 g/t cut-off
  • Known strike length of 2.8 kilometres; deposit remains open for expansion at depth and along strike

"This important increase in resources demonstrates the significant potential to increase the size of the deposit," said Ian Campbell, President and CEO. "Significant upside exists to add to our resource base on the gold zones identified to date plus several nearby high priority gold exploration targets. It is our intention to continue expanding the deposit by diamond drilling and immediately embark on preliminary metallurgical work and environmental baseline studies, the results of which will be incorporated into a preliminary economic assessment. The Juby Project is one of our core assets - it is easily accessible by road and is situated in the center of a world class mining area."
