VANCOUVER, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Acrex Ventures Ltd.
("Acrex") and Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. ("Moneta") are pleased to
announce that the 2007 drill program on the Michaud Joint Venture's
gold property located along the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone
("DPFZ") in Michaud Township east of Timmins in northern Ontario
has started. The planned 2007 program consists of up to 1,200
metres of diamond drilling (NQ size) in four to five drill holes on
a target midway between the previously discovered 55 and Western
Zones along the favorable ultramafic-sedimentary contact. The Joint
Venture plans to test the gold potential of the Timiskaming
sediments in contact with the ultramafic volcanics of the DPFZ as
it crosses the Dyment 3 claims held under option from St. Andrew
Goldfields. This geological setting has proven to be highly
prospective for gold mineralization as evidenced by the presence of
several nearby gold zones, including the 624,500 ounce inferred
resource of Moneta's Southwest Zone, located 3 kilometres on strike
to the east of the 2007 drill program. Drilling in this same
geologic setting in 2005, on the 55 Zone, intersected multiple
zones of gold mineralization in most holes with exceptional
intersections noted in four holes: 11.23 g/t gold over 1.70 metres
in hole MA-05-27, 5.81 g/t gold over 7.40 metres in hole MA-05-30,
10.90 g/t gold over 2.00 metres in hole MA-05-31, and 9.04 g/t gold
over 5.90 metres in hole MA-05-32, all over drilled widths. The
Michaud Joint Venture was formed in November 2004 by Acrex and
Moneta to continue exploration on a 50/50 basis of a group of 65
claim units in Michaud Township. Acrex completed the expenditure of
$1,000,000 in 2004 to earn its 50% interest in the claim group.
Prior drilling has resulted in the expansion of the "55" and
discovery of the Western Zones on the property, which are both
located along the DPFZ. Acrex and Moneta in 2006 reached agreement
on the acquisition by the Michaud Joint Venture of the Dyment 3
claim group optioned by Moneta from St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. in
September 2004. With the completion of $150,000 in exploration
expenditures during the present program Acrex and Moneta will
complete their Joint Venture's 75% earn-in on the Dyment 3
property. R. Skeries, P.Geo., is the "Qualified Person" for the
purposes of National Instrument 43-101. ACREX VENTURES LTD. Per:
