Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd (TSX-V: CEV) ("Cap-Ex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of BBA Inc. ("BBA") to conduct a Preliminary Economic Analysis (PEA) on the Block 103 Iron Ore Project in northern Labrador. BBA will also follow up on 2011's encouraging metallurgy results on the Redmond Project by launching an intensive sampling and bench scale testwork program.
"BBA has extensive work experience in the Labrador iron ore mines and we are extremely fortunate to be able to bring them in at such an early stage in the development of the Block 103 Project," says Francois Laurin, President and CEO of Cap-Ex. "Their significant iron ore experience and expertise will help ensure thorough yet rapid completion of the PEA which is a key step in moving Block 103 towards production."

With an office in Labrador City, BBA has extensive experience in the iron ore industry, specifically within Block 103's setting in the Labrador Trough, having acted as the primary engineering consulting firm for Consolidated Thompson's (now Cliffs Natural Resources) Bloom Lake Mine, ArcelorMittal's Mont-Wright concentrator and Alderon Iron Ore's Kami Project. The depth of local iron ore experience will allow BBA to expedite engineering design work, provide an experienced outlook into project costs and timelines, assist in selection of local construction firms, all of which will aid in minimizing overall project risk.
