Advanced Explorations Reaches New Terms On Roche Bay Buy-Out Option

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/04/11 -- Advanced Explorations Inc. (TSX VENTURE: AXI)(FRANKFURT: AE6) (the 'Company' or 'AEI') is pleased to announce it has agreed to terms for a new buy-out option for the Roche Bay Project (the 'New Buy-Out Option') with Roche Bay plc. and Roche Bay East Limited ('Roche Bay'). As a result of recent discussions, AEI and Roche Bay have amended their Royalty Agreement (as press released April 1st, 2009) and finalized a New Buy-Out Option to enable AEI to reduce any existing royalty to 1.875% on all mineral products (except precious metals).

At its election, AEI will have the opportunity to reduce the royalty rate by making a payment of $22,500,000 to Roche Bay by August 5th, 2011. In doing so, AEI will reduce all royalties to 1.875% on all mineral products except any precious metals (such as gold) which was reduced to 3.9%. All other terms and conditions set out in AEI's agreement with Roche Bay will remain the same. If the New Buy-Out Option is not exercised the previous buy-out terms as press released on April 1st, 2009 continue to apply. Any amendments remain subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

John Gingerich, President and CEO, commented:

'The revised agreement enables the Company to further simplify the economics of the Melville Peninsula, Roche Bay and Tuktu projects. The New Buy-Out Option provides the opportunity to potentially secure the necessary funding for a royalty buy-out through our existing or new partnerships. Our priority is to limit shareholder dilution. The high demand for iron ore, and in particular the increasing interest in both our Roche Bay and Tuktu projects are encouragement to finding a payment solution'.

The terms of the amendment do not affect the Company's right to 100% interest in the Roche Bay Project under the Royalty Agreement, and if exercised allows the Company to lower its royalty rate and stop any minimum annual royalty payments until the Roche Bay Project achieves production revenues.
