Cap-Ex Intersects Significant Iron Mineralization on Block 103
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/18/12 -- Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CEV)(OTCQX: CPXVF)(FRANKFURT: X0V) ("Cap-Ex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has intersected iron mineralization in each of the first 11 holes completed within the Greenbush Zone on its wholly owned Block 103 property in western Labrador. These first 11 holes were all drilled on a single, 2,050 metre long drill line trending northeast/southwest, oriented perpendicular to the Greenbush Zone. Mineralized intersections for these holes range from 96 to 317 metres.
Notably, drill hole DDH103-81 intersected 314 metres of mineralization and was terminated at a depth of 354 metres while still within the mineralized zone. Drill hole DDH103-54 was also terminated within the mineralized zone, after intersecting 187 metres of iron mineralization. These results are similar to those from DDH103-44, which was completed along the same drill line during the 2011 drilling campaign. DDH103-44 intersected 259 metres of mineralization grading 28.3% total iron and has mineralization potential at depth (see table below for addition details). Deeper drilling is planned near this drill line in order to confirm interpreted mineralization at depth.
"We are excited to have our 2012 drilling campaign underway and extremely encouraged by the consistent mineralization encountered in these initial holes," stated Francois Laurin, President and CEO of Cap-Ex. "The drilling is confirming our geologic interpretation of last year's limited program and clearly demonstrating the potential of Block 103."
The mineralized intersections are outlined in the table below:

Note: DDH103-44 was drilled during the 2011 field season. Assay results were
presented in news release dated March 6, 2012.

Detailed logging of all drill core collected to date, indicates a repetition of the mineralized horizon. The mineralization is open at both ends of the 2,050 metre long drill line and at depth.
True widths of the reported intercepts above vary depending on the angle of the individual drill holes and are estimated to be between 70% and 100% of the core interval as reported. All samples were prepared from split BTW-sized half-core sections on-site in Labrador. Split drill core samples have been sent to independent contractor Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, BC for analyses; results are pending.
To date, Cap-Ex has completed approximately 6,000 metres of a minimum 15,000 metres of drilling planned for this year. Four diamond rigs are currently drilling the second of five planned drill lines. This second drill line is approximately 2,000 metres long and is located 600 metres south of and parallel to the first drill line.
The results of the current drill program will be used for an initial National Instrument (NI) 43-101 resource estimate on a portion of the Greenbush Zone located within the Block 103 property, planned to be released by the end of 2012. The Company intends to follow the successful completion of the NI 43-101 resource estimate with a Preliminary Economic Assessment, planned for release in Q1 2013.
About the Block 103 Project
The Block 103 Iron Ore Project is located in western Labrador and covers roughly 20,000 hectares within the Labrador Trough, approximately 30 km northwest of Schefferville, Quebec. Two distinct zones of magnetite mineralization, the Greenbush Zone and the Northwest Zone, were identified on the property as a result of a 6,000 metre drilling campaign conducted in 2011. Mineralization was consistently encountered at shallow depths with thicknesses of up to 260 metres. Laboratory analysis revealed very consistent grades of mineralization ranging from 28.5% to 34.6 % Total Fe. Sample processing and assaying was executed by SGS Canada Labs in Lakefield, ON, using XRF, Satmagan and Davis tube techniques.
