VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / TheNewswire / July 28, 2015 - MGX Minerals Inc. ("MGX" or the "Company") (CSE: XMG / FKT: 1MG) reports the Company has engaged Tipi Mountain Eco-Cultural Services Ltd. ("Tipi Mountain") to complete an Archeological Overview Assessment (AOA) and Archeological Impact Assessment (AIA) on the Driftwood Creek magnesium project ("Driftwood Creek") located in the Brisco-Driftwood mining district of southeastern British Columbia.

Based on results of the AOA and upon issuance of a Heritage Conservation Act inspection permit, Tipi Mountain will then conduct additional field assessments which will be used to complete a detailed AIA report. The finished AIA report will then be submitted to the Archeology Branch of the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations for review and approval.
