Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CEV)(OTCQX:CPXVF)(FRANKFURT:XOV) ("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:




----------------------------------------
Magnetite Recovery                 93.7%
----------------------------------------
Concentrate Iron Grade             70.0%
----------------------------------------
Concentrate Silica Grade            3.4%
----------------------------------------
Concentrate Liberation                75
 Size P100                    micrometre
----------------------------------------
Ore Hardness                            
  SMC (Axb)                           37
  BWi (kWh/t at p80-32um)           15.5
----------------------------------------



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:




---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fe      SiO2  Al2O3    MgO    CaO   Na2O    K2O     Ti     Mn      P     Cr
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
70%    3.40%  0.08%  0.10%  0.11%  0.07%  0.01%  0.02% 0.046% 0.006%  0.02%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------



"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 Francois 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.


Stock Option Grant

Cap-Ex announces that it has granted Mr. Francois Laurin, Mr. Brian Penney and
Mr. Paul Bozoki, under the terms of its stock option plan, options to purchase
