TEMEX CUTS 141 g/t GOLD – HALLNOR PROPERTY TIMMINS

TORONTO, ONTARIO: Temex Resources Corp. (TSX Venture:TME, Frankfurt:TQ1) ("Temex") announces that drilling on the Whitney Township Property (the ”Property”) continues to intersect high grade gold values at depth on the Hallnor block. The Property occurs within a 4 kilometre long, 10+ million ounce mine trend and includes the Hallnor Mine with historic production totalling more than 1.65 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.40 opt (13.71 g/t) making it one of the highest grade gold mines in the 65 million ounce Timmins Gold Camp.

The primary target of the current program is to test for the down dip, down plunge extensions of the lower Hallnor vein systems, specifically the 11 and 19 Vein systems. These two vein systems were mined up to a former property boundary and produced 450,000 tons grading 0.30 opt (10.29 g/t) gold and 650,000 tons grading 0.42 opt (14.40 g/t) gold.

Assay results from wedge drill hole TW09-77W7 have been received with significant drill intersections being obtained within the 19 Vein area highlighted by intersections of 141.50 g/t gold over 0.50 metres and 2.78 g/t gold over 1.00 metre. These intersections lie approximately 75 metres up dip of the initial 19 Vein pilot hole intersection. Erratic grades are typical of drill intersections from previously mined high grade stopes given the strong nugget gold distribution within Lower Hallnor vein systems.

Gold mineralization intersected on the broad 11 Vein zone yielded 1.08 g/t gold over 2.60 metres and 5.38 g/t gold over 0.50 metres with three occurrences of visible gold noted in the drill core. The 11 Vein zone is defined in this hole by a series of veins and stringers over a 10 metre core length with moderate iron carbonate alteration and minor sulphide mineralization.

Several other encouraging assay results were obtained from the 13 Vein area which include 4.37 g/t gold over 1.00 metre and several potentially new zones were encountered between the 11 and 13 Veins including 4.79 g/t gold over 1.00 metre, 3.26 g/t gold over 0.50 metres and 7.70 g/t gold 2.00 metres.

Additionally, drilling is underway on the Q1 target (news release March 23, 2009) which is testing a significant new target recently identified in the Upper Hallnor area, approximately 150 metres southeast of the historic mine gap area between the Upper and Lower Hallnor vein systems.

The Property is owned by Porcupine Gold Mines (“PGM”, a joint venture between Goldcorp Inc. and Goldcorp Canada Ltd.) and Temex has the option to earn a 60% interest. Temex expects to complete the $4.0 million expenditure commitment in May 2009. Henry Hutteri, P. Geo., is the designated qualified person responsible for the preparation of this news release.

The Company also announces the grant of an aggregate of 300,000 options under the stock option plan to certain of the Company’s directors and to certain other members of management. Each such option may be exercised by the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of 5 years.

Note: Temex has implemented a quality control (QA/QC) program which includes the use of standards and blanks. Samples of split NQ core were transported by Company personnel to Swastika Laboratories in Swastika, Ontario in sealed bags. The remaining half of the core was kept as a permanent record and stored at a secure facility in Timmins. The core was analyzed using a 30 gram standard fire assay method. Pulp metallic gold assaying was performed on the larger veins. Intervals reported are core lengths.
