Dorex Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DOX) - 

The company reports that diamond drilling has commenced on its 100% owned
Carmelita property located within the IOCG belt of the Atacama Desert, Chile.


The company anticipates of up to 1,000-metre NQ core size diamond drill program
of 5 holes that will test at least 4 mineralized zones. Diamond drilling has
been contracted to Geo-Operanciones Ltda, of Copaipo, Chile.


Targets were generated from previously conducted exploration programs, which
included geological mapping, rock sampling, and a geophysical survey.


The Carmelita property has long history of artisan mining. Previous exploration
completed resulted in Copper grades of up to 4.8%, Gold grades of up to 2.16g/t
and Silver grades of up to 85.9g/t, grades greater than 10,000 ppm of Lead and
Zinc were also assayed during the 2007 exploration program.


There is a potential for widespread porphyry or IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold)
style mineralization as well as a smaller, higher grade structurally controlled
shear zone hosted copper oxide mineralization.


The project will be supervised by Stephen Kenwood P.Geo, a qualified person
under National Policy 43-101.


Other activities in the area:

The Carmelita property is situated approximately 120 km south of Global Copper
Corp.'s Relincho project which has a indicated and inferred resource of over
1,000,000,000 tonnes of copper at 0.56-0.61 % copper equivalent and total of 9.6
billion lbs of contained copper. Global Copper Corp. recently announced Relincho
will be purchased by Teck Cominco for $425,000,000. The Relincho property
consists of a large Andean style copper-molybdenum porphyry system.


As well directly 20 km east of the Carmelita property is Investika Ltd.'s
Puquios Copper Project, which has a resource at pre-feasibility study of
29,900,000 tonnes @ 0.59% Copper, and the company is planning a 15,000 tpa
open-cut heap leach operation.

significant discovery will improve Dorex's position as a junior exploration and
