/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Acrex Ventures Ltd. ("Acrex", TSX: AKV)
and Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. ("Moneta", TSX: ME) are pleased to
announce final results from the "55 Zone" Joint Venture drill
program. A total of 2449 metres (m) was drilled in 8 holes. All
drill holes intersected gold mineralization, with best results from
holes MA-08-43, MA-08-44 and MA-08-49, drilled in the more central
portion of the zone. Previous drilling returned notable drilled
width intersections in MA-04-25 (12.76 g/t Au over 4.30m within
11.50m of 5.86 g/t Au), MA-02-06 (7.54 g/t Au over 6.50m
within 4.81 g/t Au over 12.0m), and more recently MA-05-30 with an
intercept of 8.99 g/t Au over 4.50m within a 7.40m alteration zone
averaging 5.81 g/t gold. Highlights from the current drilling
include the zones intersected in MA08-43 and MA08-49. Notable in
MA08-49 is an intersection of 9.68 g/t Au over 27.75 metres drilled
width with a peak value of 49.03 g/t Au over 1.00 metres. Within
this zone are five narrow quartz vein or stringer intercepts each
of which may be up to 0.30 metres in true width, intersecting the
drill core at variable but generally very low core angles, with the
result that a significant portion of the vein intersections
carrying the higher grades were drilled down-dip. The overall zone
is defined by intense ankerite/pyrite alteration with gold values
typically ranging from 2 to 5 g/t gold. A similar orientated vein
carrying visible gold in the same geological setting was
intersected in MA08-43 returning 42.09 g/t Au over 2.90 metres
drilled width, with a peak vein value of 187.99 g/t Au over 0.50
metres. The results confirm the high grade and well mineralized
gold tenor of these very narrow veins and due to their orientation,
the true width of the two zones is significantly reduced and will
have to be determined by an additional drill program. The "55 Zone"
is hosted by altered Timiskaming greywackes and sandstones along
the ultramafic/Timiskaming sedimentary contact and on strike with
Moneta's Southwest (624,500 oz.; historical Barrick gold resource)
and Windjammer South Zones (154,000 oz. :Cargill NI 43-101 inferred
resource June 13, 2008) to the east-northeast. To date only 26
drill holes have been completed in the "55 Zone" (Michaud JV: 14,
Acrex: 7, Barrick: 5) with significant gold mineralized intervals
reported previously. Drill holes were laid out to generate
additional data points and complete sections within the zone in
order to facilitate a resource estimate to NI 43-101 standards and
determine parameters for a follow-up drill program. The summary
table below details significant intersections:

(*) Includes metallic assay results where completed. Notes (1,2,and
3 are applicable to all intersections): 1. Simple weighted average
of duplicates and checks used. 2. Intervals are drilled widths in
metres. 3. Drill hole dips are all initially -50 degrees and
azimuth of 340 degrees 4. Significant downdip component 5. Visible
gold (VG) noted Assaying Diamond drill core logging and sampling
follows general industry practices. Logged and sample marked core
is sawn in half with one half bagged and tagged for shipment to the
assay laboratory with the remaining half of the sawn core returned
to the core box for storage and future reference. Blanks and a
range of standards are inserted into the sample stream at regular
intervals. Up to 15% of the pulps are submitted to a second
laboratory as checks. Initial assays and routine duplicates as well
as later gold metallic analyses were completed by Swastika
Laboratory, while check assays and their duplicates were completed
by Expert Laboratories. Both laboratories follow industry standard
fire assay techniques. R. Skeries, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person
