Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd. (TSX-V: CEV) (Frankfurt: X0V) (OTCQX: CPXVF) (“Cap-Ex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce preliminary metallurgical results based on analysis and interpretation by BBA Inc. of testwork available to date on the 100% owned Block 103 Iron Ore Project in the Labrador trough. These results are based on the northern and eastern sectors of the deposit and are deemed to reasonably represent the first thirty years of operation according to the mine development plan envisioned at this time. These results will be further updated with the filing of the NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Analysis (PEA), which is planned for end of June 2013. Furthermore, preliminary metallurgical results for the western portion of the deposit will also be presented in the aforementioned filing.

The Block 103 deposit is composed predominantly of magnetite and a process flowsheet based on progressive particle size reduction and magnetic separation, which is conventional and proven for this type of mineralization, is being developed. Based on laboratory test results, metallurgical performance for the operation has been projected as follows:

These aforementioned results are in line with similar deposits in the region.

Results to date suggest that the concentrate that will be produced and that will feed the pelletizing plant will have the following chemical composition:

“We are very pleased with these preliminary metallurgical results as they clearly demonstrate the viability of the product that should be produced from the Block 103 Project,” says François Laurin, President and CEO of Cap-Ex.  “We look forward to including these results into our upcoming PEA, which we expect to have completed by the end of June 2013.

Metallurgical Testwork

The testwork was performed over a range of particle sizes and included dry and wet Low Intensity Magnetic Separation (LIMS) bench tests and Davis Tube (DT) tests. Composite samples representing the northern and eastern sectors of the deposit were prepared from 78 drill core samples obtained from 22 drill holes. The testwork was performed by COREM in Quebec City, Quebec and by SGS Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario, both independent laboratories.
