ADE Adex Mining Inc

Adex Mining Inc. ("Adex" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ADE) is pleased to
provide an update on its tin, indium and zinc bench scale test project being
carried out by SGS Lakefield Research Limited ("SGS") of Lakefield, Ontario to
evaluate the production of tin concentrate and zinc-indium concentrate from the
North Zone ("NZ") at Adex's wholly-owned Mount Pleasant Mine Property ("Mount
Pleasant" or the "Property"), located in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. 


The bench scale program is a two-pronged approach. The first step is designed to
produce indium-bearing zinc concentrate for further upgrading to a 95% indium
sponge utilizing an exclusive hydrometallurgical process being developed for
Adex by Thibault & Associates in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The second step is
designed to test the production of a tin concentrate for direct sale to a tin
smelter. Management and directors of Adex were present at SGS to observe the
final stage of the bench scale program - locked cycle testwork on both products
- on May 28, 2010. Test results will be released as soon as they are available.


The bench scale program will now lead directly to a pilot plant program which
will be carried out at SGS. A 100 tonne sample from the NZ has already been
received at SGS in Lakefield and the pilot plant will be set up over the next
two weeks with pilot plant operations scheduled to begin by mid-June.


Errol Farr, President and CEO of Adex, stated: "We are very pleased with both
the metallurgical and hydrometallurgical progress of our NZ test work to date.
We look forward to assessing the final results of the bench scale metallurgical
program, and anxiously await pilot plant results which will be used for scale up
to commercial production." 


Adex's Mount Pleasant Property hosts two important and separate mineral
resources: the tungsten-molybdenum bearing Fire Tower Zone (the "FTZ") and the
tin-indium-zinc bearing NZ. The FTZ is the site of a past-producing
tungsten-molybdenum underground mining operation that produced and sold tungsten
concentrate between 1983 and 1985.
