Malbex Q2 Update

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/25/11 -- Malbex Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MBG) has filed its interim financial statements and MD&A for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

'We're extremely pleased with the results from the recently completed drill program at Del Carmen Norte,' said Tim Warman, President and CEO. 'We've outlined a significant body of shallow, oxide-hosted gold-silver mineralization at Rojo Grande, and should now have sufficient data to compile an initial resource estimate.'

Mr. Warman continued, 'With proceeds from our recent $15 million financing in hand, we have begun planning for a much larger drill season at Del Carmen beginning in October of this year. Our goal will be to expand Rojo Grande, which is still open to the southwest and at depth, while also drilling numerous other targets on the 9km(2) Del Carmen Norte alteration system. Additionally, we plan to continue our exploration of the second alteration system, Del Carmen Sur, following up on some promising sampling results from the previous field season.'
