NGEX Resources Inc. and Filo Mining Corp. Announce Closing of Spin-Out of Filo Mining Corp.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, NGEx will distribute 100% of the common shares of Filo Mining (the "Filo Common Shares") it received under the Arrangement to holders ("NGEx Shareholders") of common shares of NGEx (the "NGEx Common Shares") on a pro rata basis, such that NGEx Shareholders will receive one Filo Common Share for every four NGEx Common Shares held as of the effective date of the Arrangement.

NGEx Shareholders of record as of August 23, 2016 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to receive Filo Common Shares in respect of the NGEx Common Shares they hold. No additional action is required by NGEx Shareholders in order to receive Filo Common Shares, and NGEx Shareholders will retain any certificates or direct registration statements representing their NGEx Common Shares. It is currently anticipated that the NGEx Common Shares will begin trading on an ex-distribution basis on the TSX on August 19, 2016, two trading days before the Record Date, meaning that on and after such date, purchasers of NGEx Common Shares will no longer have an attaching right to receive Filo Common Shares in accordance with the Arrangement. Similarly, it is anticipated that the NGEx Common Shares will begin trading on an ex-distribution basis on the Nasdaq Stockholm Exchange ("OMX") on August 22, 2016, one trading day before the Record Date.

The Company has applied for a listing of the shares of Filo Mining on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and Nasdaq First North Exchange under the trading symbol "FIL". Any such listing will be subject to Filo Mining fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX-V and the Nasdaq First North Exchange, respectively.

NGEx will provide further guidance at a later date on the timing for any listing of the Filo Common Shares on the TSX-V and Nasdaq First North Exchange.
