Long Canyon Road Cut Sampling Exposes New Gold Mineralization
NR06-14
AuEx Ventures, Inc. (AuEx) is pleased to report the results of road cut chip channel sampling of newly constructed drill site access roads at the Company's Long Canyon gold exploration property located in Elko County, Nevada. Drill site and access road construction was funded by joint venture partner NewWest Gold USA, Inc.
Chip channel sampling of bedrock exposed in road cuts recently constructed to provide access for the 2006 drilling program has documented additional gold mineralization as listed in the following table. The new road cuts extend bedrock exposures northeast and southwest of the drilling access roads constructed and sampled in 2005. AuEx reported gold-bearing intervals obtained from sampling of the older roads in a news release dated September 8th, 2005. The new road cut results, supported by drilling results announced previously, indicate that the main gold-bearing zone extends approximately 3000 feet from the northeast to the southwest. Additionally, the road cut sampling and drilling of 2006 indicate that at least one other mineralized zone occurs on the property. Future work will address the extent and configuration of the newly recognized zones of mineralization.

Each sample was taken following standard industry practice and was collected from approximately 10 feet or less of rock exposure. Each sample weighed approximately 1 to 2 kilograms. Intervals reported are continuous sets of samples exceeding 0.01 ounces per ton gold. All samples were prepared and assayed by American Assay Laboratories, Inc. of Sparks, Nevada. Gold results were determined using standard fire assay techniques on a 30 gram sample with an atomic absorption finish. All data as disclosed in this press release including sampling, analytical and test data have been verified by the Company's qualified person Mr. Ronald L. Parratt, M.Sc., and Certified Professional Geologist.
