        <![CDATA[<p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">LONDON, ONTARIO-(July 9, 2009) - <strong style="">Ontex Resources Limited (TSX:ONT)</strong> is very pleased to announce that ten holes, including one wedge hole, totaling 5057 meters have been completed and assays received on the 2009 planned $2.3 million, 15,000 meter diamond drill program which began in late March. The initial drilling targeted the Brookbank Gold Deposit to expand the known resource on the west flank of the deposit, on the east flank and at a depth about 950 meters. All 10 holes completed intersected gold mineralization.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The highlight of the diamond drilling was hole B-09-10 which averaged 21.1 grams gold per tonne over 10.6 meters of core within the main mineralized zone at a vertical depth of about 500 meters below surface. This composite intersection included 59.1 grams gold per tonne over 3.4 meters core width. This hole extended the Brookbank Zone gold mineralization 30 meters vertically below hole B-08-10 that was drilled in 2008 and which assayed 36.7 grams gold per tonne over 9.4 meters core length (see PR dated December 18, 2008).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Drill holes B-09-01, B-09-02, B-09-03 were step out holes targeting west of the Brookbank Zone between 50 meters and 200 meters below the surface horizon. Hole B-09-01 intersected 1.3 grams over 1.3 meters. Hole B-09-02 cored the Hanging Wall Zone and intersected 1.97 grams gold per tonne over 8.5 meters and the Main Brookbank Zone which assayed 3.98 grams gold per tonne over 2.6 meters core length. The Hanging Wall and Main Zones are about 15 meters apart in the core (8 meters true width) in this drill hole. Hole B-09-03, the most westerly step out, intersected low grade mineralization over 2.8 meters at the volcanic-conglomerate contact. Hole B-09-04 targeted the Brookbank Zone on the east side of the deposit at about the 250 meter depth and intersected 1.3 grams gold per tonne gold over 1.3 meters core width.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Holes B-09-05, B-09-05WD and B-09-07 targeted the Brookbank structure about 950 meters below the surface horizon. The holes sequentially targeted the Brookbank Zone from west to east and returned values of 1.32, 5.18 and 17.5 grams per tonne gold over narrow widths respectively. Values and widths increased trending eastward.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Holes B-09-06, B-09-08 and B-09-09 targeted the main Brookbank Zone at depths below the surface horizon between 250 and 350 meters. The holes were drilled to increase the confidence in the known mineralization by decreasing the distance between adjacent drill hole intercepts to less than 50 meters apart. Hole B-09-06 intersected 5.4 grams gold per tonne gold over 15.3 meters core width, hole B-09-08 intersected 11.6 grams gold per tonne over 7.8 meters core width and hole B-09-09 intersected 6.3 grams gold per tonne gold over 9.7 meters core width.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The wedge hole B-09-07WD, targeting an additional 50 meters to the west of B-09-07, intersected an approximately 15 meter thick sheared pyrite-rich section of the main Brookbank Zone. Assays for this core intercept are pending.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In its ongoing effort to expand the 100% owned Brookbank Gold Deposit, Ontex has discovered silver veining in the deepest holes drilled to date. At about 650 meters down holes B-09-05 and B-09-05WD silver values were intersected of 10 grams over 1.5 meters and 23.2 grams over 1.1 meters respectively.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Company has substantially ramped up exploration by mobilizing a second diamond drill. More geologists are being mobilized to the site. A geological team is actively reviewing old maps and reports and compiling the data to look for other potential exploration targets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Brookbank Gold Deposit is structurally controlled within a splay off the regional Paint Lake Fault. A well known consulting company has been tasked to undertake a structural geology study of the Brookbank Deposit and surrounding property in an effort to prioritize areas for follow-up work.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Company has also requested quotes for conducting ground IP geophysics on favourable structures that may be identified by the structural study and analysis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A prospecting/geology, linecutting and soil geochemistry program is in progress within 2 kilometers to the east of the Brookbank Deposit to delineate a new drill target. This area was originally prospected in the 1980's and more recently highlighted by airborne geophysics. Grab sampling has returned values of up to 23 g/t gold from an altered shear zone that has an apparent width of up to 3 meter wide. A backhoe is presently stripping this gold showing prior to geological mapping and detailed sampling.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The company is embarking on its the most aggressive program to date as it continues to expand the resources at its 100% owned Brookbank Gold Deposit and ramping up exploration on the property seeking additional Brookbank style gold deposits on its 35 km strike length property.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The drill core is being logged and split on site and half-core samples analyzed employing the appropriate gold fire assaying techniques at an independent laboratory, Swastika Laboratories of Swastika Ontario with check assaying at Actlabs Ltd., Thunder Bay, Ontario. A QA/QC program is being employed consisting of duplicate samples, insertion of known standards and check assaying.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The data herein and the contents of this news release have been reviewed by John P. Thompson, P.Eng., who is a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101, with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data. Armen Chilian, P.Geo., Vice-President of Exploration, is the Qualified Person who is executing the drilling program for Ontex.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ontex Resources Limited is a junior resource company focused on gold exploration and deposit delineation at its Brookbank gold property in northern Ontario spanning a strike length of 35 kilometers. To date, diamond drilling has identified a structure over a 7 kilometers strike length with mineralized zones extending from surface to a depth of at least 800 meters. The mineral resources at a 2.0 g/t gold cut-off grade stands at 1.84 million tonnes grading 7.3 g/t gold containing 421,400 ounces of Indicated and 2.66 million tonnes grading 4.9 g/t gold containing 421,400 ounces of Inferred resource (see NI 43-101 technical report - "Technical Report on the Brookbank Gold Deposit, Beardmore - Geraldton Area, Northern Ontario, Canada" by Scot Wilson RPA Inc. dated May 4, 2009 - filed on Sedar). The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "ONT".</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dear Ontex Shareholders,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In our ongoing efforts to provide market information and/or commentary, we are pleased to provide you, with Industry Sector Bulletins discussing current market opinions regarding Gold.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Regards, <br /> AGORACOM</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style=""><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style=""><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">INDUSTRY BULLETIN: Job woes? Experts say gold mining to become a growth industry amid recession</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By Amy Fuller</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Job seekers watching employment prospects wither and lay-offs mount amid the recession might consider joining the gold rush, and a northern Ontario school is hoping to educate that next wave of underground workers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many investors see gold as a hedge against inflation - when the dollar sheds value and can't buy as much, people hoard gold. In recent years, the price has hovered under US$1000 an ounce.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mining consultant Alan Gorman says base metal prices dropped considerably after the economy collapsed last year. Now, companies are doing more exploration for gold, hoping to revive old mining sites or find new ones in Canada and Africa.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gorman says companies like Vale Inco, Xstrata and Teck Cominco that primarily produce base metals have either closed mines or made cutbacks over the last nine months. Those that focus on gold, such as Barrick Gold Corp. and Kinross Gold Corp., are "on the upswing."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"In terms of new employment, I'd say you'll probably see more happening with the gold companies."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Someone has to extract the precious metal, and it's not a matter of simply shaking a pan and plucking out the nuggets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The northern Ontario town of Haileybury is home to a mining school that hopes to benefit from a spike in applications as the gold sector enjoys a bull market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don Hillier, a professor at the Haileybury School of Mines about three hours northeast of Sudbury, Ont., runs a mining engineering technician program that prepares students for careers ranging from entry-level to management.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Over the course of two years, students complete modules by watching lectures and reading study guides online. Subjects include math, physics and chemistry, as well as technical communication and safety.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"A mine is like a miniature city," Hillier says, explaining the emphasis on technical coursework. "They can have their own water treatment plant, garages, and some even have their own hydro facilities."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mines employ a variety of people, from engineers to pipe fitters to welders, "not just mining people per se," Hillier says. "They constitute only about one per cent of the overall workforce."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Until two years ago, the technician program required that students study at the Haileybury campus of Northern College of Applied Arts and Technology. Now, students enrol from as far afield as the Northwest Territories or Alberta.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In many cases, they continue with full-time jobs and study part-time, travelling to Haileybury only two weeks per year for the practical portion of the program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The new online format is modelled after a graduate mining engineering program at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Hillier says it works well for parents with school-age kids who can study without uprooting their children.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While he would like to incorporate more hands-on learning, it's difficult to arrange. Students have to take time off work and travel long distances to attend.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In May, three students graduated from the re-vamped technician program. The inaugural class began with 22, but many are studying part-time and will take longer than two years to finish.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Graduate Pamela Sword of Thunder Bay, Ont., came to the program in her mid-40s after a 25-year career as an insurance underwriter. Tired of adjusting to multiple buyouts, she took a voluntary severance package and enrolled at Haileybury.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Online study allowed moves to Sudbury, Marathon and Thunder Bay, Ont., so her husband could focus on his career as a mining co-ordinator. Sword also chose Haileybury for its emphasis on geology, a personal fascination.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She says the program is a good option for people who have been laid off from other sectors, particularly if they have technical experience or live in remote areas with mine facilities nearby. Sword had no technical background and found the math requirements difficult. She studied close to 12 hours a day and graduated with honours.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the hands-on portion of the program, students wear mine lamps, hard hats, steel-toed boots and reflective overalls. They venture into an old exploration adit, a horizontal tunnel drilled in the side of a hill, to practise checking for loose material and surveying.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"We learned that bats look really large when you're looking through the scope of a total station," Sword says, laughing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Graduates of the technician program without previous mining experience can expect a starting wage of $45,000 a year, or a minimum of $20 an hour, Hillier says. Companies generally offer bonuses or extra compensation for working in isolated areas.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sword is now three weeks into a job as a geologist technician with Australian-based Magma Metals Ltd. She says Magma is exploring for precious metals such as gold, platinum, nickel and copper.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"They have a really good showing here in Thunder Bay."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sword said she loves spending her days with a geologist at camp sites, looking for and identifying minerals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"When you get magma intrusions and it changes the rock and minerals leak out, it's just, wow."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The work environment is a big change, though. During her first week, she used a four-wheeler to back a boat into a lake with mineral deposits at the bottom. She also carries 20-to 30-kilogram boxes full of rocks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"Technicians get to do all the hard stuff," she says.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cambrian College in Sudbury offers a similar two-year mining engineering technician program. Students at Cambrian can extend their studies by one year to study geological engineering technology or mining engineering technology.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://www.smallcapepicenter.com/images/ONT051509.JPG" height="248" width="541" /> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Six holes, including one wedge hole, have been completed on the 2009 planned $2.3 million, 15,000 meter diamond drill program which began in late March. The initial drilling is targeting the Brookbank Gold Deposit to expand the known resource on the west flank (3 holes) of the deposit, on the east flank (1 hole) and at depth below 1000 meters (1 hole + wedge hole). All 6 holes intersected the Brookbank target structure and the samples have been split and submitted to the laboratory for assaying. The drill program has been stopped to provide for a 10 day break for the Bradley Bros. drill crew and Ontex geological personnel and will resume by the 4(th) week of May.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ken Reading, a very well regarded explorationist, has headed to the property to initially oversea the linecutting and soil geochemistry program being undertaken to the east of the Brookbank Deposit to delineate a new drill target originally prospected in the 1980's and more recently highlighted on the airborne geophysics. Mr. Reading's primary objective in 2009 will be to understand and help locate additional local structures on the property which host gold mineralization.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Company is planning to substantially ramp-up exploration by mobilizing a second diamond drill and has recently added two experienced geologists to its field crew. This represents the most aggressive program to date for the Company as it continues to expand resources and drill the Brookbank Gold Camp.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">John P. Thompson, P.Eng. and President of Ontex, a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101 has reviewed the data and contents of this news release. Armen Chilian, P.Geo., Vice-President of Exploration, is the Qualified Person who planned and is executing the exploration programs for Ontex.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ontex Resources Limited is a junior resource company focused on gold exploration and deposit delineation at its Brookbank gold property in northern Ontario spanning a strike length of 35 kilometers. To date, diamond drilling has identified a structure over a 7 kilometers strike length with mineralized zones extending from surface to a depth of at least 800 meters. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "ONT".</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">LONDON, ONTARIO-(March 30, 2009) - <strong style="">Ontex Resources Limited (TSX:ONT)</strong> is very pleased to report on its newly updated independent NI 43-101 mineral resources estimate very recently received from Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc ("Scott Wilson RPA") on the Brookbank Gold Deposit and property.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Three recent diamond drilling programs comprising 35 drill holes totaling 10,510 meters have increased the total gold mineral inventory by 23% over the equivalent 2006 resource estimate. The Brookbank Gold Deposit property total gold resources at a 2.0 gram per tonne cut-off grade and with high values not cut are provided below for comparative purposes with the 2006 resource and have now increased to:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://www.smallcapepicenter.com/images/ONT033009a.JPG" height="330" width="516" /> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the Brookbank, Cherbourg and Foxear Deposits, Scott Wilson RPA has estimated both the un-cut and cut gold Indicated and Inferred Resources for 2.0, 3.0 and 3.4 grams gold cut-off grade. The new Scott Wilson RPA NI 43-101 compliant Indicated and Inferred mineral resources at a 3.4 g/t cut-off grade, conforming to the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources dated March 25, 2009 are presented in the following link:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #551a8b; text-decoration: underline;"><img src="http://www.smallcapepicenter.com/images/ONT033009b.JPG" /><br /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The recent drilling has expanded the mineral resources along strike by 200 meters towards the east. The main Brookbank Gold Deposit model now has gold mineralization over a strike length of 800 meters and to a depth of over 800 meters. Scott Wilson RPA has recommended 43 strategically designed holes be drilled on the Brookbank Property to add gold resources to inventory and to upgrade Inferred resources to the Indicated category. Drill and camp mobilization for a $2.3 million diamond drilling program designed to further increase the gold resources on the property and bring the project closer to a potential production decision is now mobilizing. Ontex continues to have the largest gold resource in the Beardmore - Geraldton Gold Belt and with the new NI 43-101 we are well on our way to make 2009 the best year ever.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ontex Chairman and CEO Gary Conn said, "Gold discovery costs to Ontex to delineate the new NI 43-101 compliant Indicated and Inferred resource at a 3.4 g/t cut-off (uncut) are only just over $8 per ounce of gold for drilling. It is far more cost effective to find a gold mine by drilling on your own land than to go out and acquire a gold deposit providing you have the right property."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is expected to be a very exciting year for growth in Ontex. We expect to significantly add to the gold ounces in the ground with our 2009 $2.3 million diamond drilling program. Our objective is to increase the mineral resources substantially this year. Ontex is actively in discussions with senior mining companies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Company has contracted Bradley Bros. Limited for the 2009 diamond drill contract. The Company's goal is to begin drilling as soon as mobilization is completed and to continue aggressively throughout the year. Such an "all-out" program will provide the basis for a future NI 43-101 resource estimate increases - anticipated for January 2010.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ken Reading, a very well regarded explorationist, will be heading to the property to begin evaluations starting in May. Mr. Reading's primary objective will be to understand and help locate additional local structures which host the gold mineralization that have been co-active with the main conglomerate/volcanic gold-enriched contact at the Brookbank and Cherbourg properties. He will work closely with Ontex throughout 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Company welcomes everyone to the 2009 Northwestern Mines and Minerals Symposium in Thunder Bay on April 8th, where it will present a talk on the Brookbank Gold Camp.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">John P. Thompson, P.Eng. and President of Ontex, a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101 has reviewed the data and contents of this news release. Armen Chilian, P.Geo., Vice-President of Exploration, is the Qualified Person who planned and is executing the exploration programs for Ontex.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">The gold bulls include David Einhorn, founder of hedge fund Greenlight Capital, who last year came under the spotlight for his short selling of shares in Lehman after arguing that the bank did not have enough capital to offset its exposure to falling property prices.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Other funds looking at gold include Eton Park and TPG-Axon, investors said.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Their belief in bullion is being expressed even as gold prices have retreated from last month's break above the $1,000 an ounce level. Spot gold in London closed on Friday at $939.10, after falling last week to $900.95 an ounce.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Investors such as Mr Einhorn are turning to gold because they are worried about the response of the US Federal Reserve and other central banks to the economic crisis. A bet on gold is a bet against paper currencies.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">"The size of the Fed's balance sheet is exploding and the currency is being debased. Our guess is that if the chairman of the Fed is determined to debase the currency, he will succeed," Mr Einhorn wrote to investors.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">"Our instinct is that gold will do well either way: deflation will lead to further steps to debase the currency, while inflation speaks for itself."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Mr Einhorn's comments - and the revelation that he is buying gold - are in line with the views held by other institutional investors in Europe, according to bankers in London.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">The head of commodity sales at one bullion bank told the Financial Times that he had never been so busy dealing in gold for large investors.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and UBSforecast that the gold price would rise above $1,000 this year.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Peter Munk, chairman of Barrick Gold, the largest bullion miner, told investors last week that all countries had embarked on policies that would favour gold.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">"The only option to governments is to print and print more money," he said. "That will end in tears."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Hedge funds had avoided gold because it does not produce yield and costs money to store and insure. But that has become less important as central banks have pushed interest rates to nearly zero, reducing the yields on currencies.</span></p>

<p><strong style=""><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">"Basic Facts about Gold"-Jim Anthony-Chairman-Seabridge Gold</span></strong><br /> Friday, 27th February 2009</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are about 5 billion ounces of above ground gold supply worth about USD 5 trillion at current prices. Less than 5% trades annually. The above ground gold supply is growing at about 1.5% annually, the 300 year average.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">New gold supply is price inelastic. If you double the gold price, production will fall as miners extend precious mine life by processing lower grades through fixed rate capacity. Building new capacity is the work of decades. Re-opening old mines is difficult and expensive and there are few worthwhile opportunities which have not been exploited. Meanwhile, discovery rates are declining, discovery costs are rising, mines are depleting and production is falling at about 5% per year. The world's best gold deposits have been found and mined.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gold's highest and best use is in a vault as a store of value. It is not a commodity. Jewelry 'consumption' of gold is a traditional store of value. The industrial/medical uses of gold are diminimus. If gold had important other uses, there would be less of it and the price would be lower because it would be valued as a commodity subject to substitution effects. No other substance has the unique properties and a supply sufficient to act as an ultimate store of value which is why gold has had this role for at least 6000 years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gold is therefore a financial asset in physical form and sometimes a currency. It goes up in price when confidence in other financial assets [stocks, bonds] is falling and falls when confidence in these alternatives is rising.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Other financial assets have the advantages of convenience and income. Gold's advantage is that it is final settlement anywhere in the world. Gold backs itself whereas other currencies and financial assets merely represent, and depend upon, the countries and companies which issue them and stand behind them. Gold is a currency without a country or central bank...there is no issuer to inflate supply or default on its obligations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are approximately USD 140 trillion in other financial assets world-wide so the current value of above ground gold is about 4% of this total. In 1980, when inflation weakened confidence in stocks and bonds, the ratio was greater than 25%. It currently requires about 8 ounces of gold to buy the Dow, down from 44 in 1999. In 1980, the ratio reached 1 to 1.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gold has no P/E or other standard valuation metric. Its price can go where the market decides. How much will the owners of USD 140 trillion in financial assets pay to protect themselves from deflation, inflation or default?<br /> <br /> James S. Anthony<br style="" /> <br style="" /></p>

      <title>[Press Release] Ontex 2009 Focus to Increase Gold Resources on Brookbank Gold Property</title>
      <guid>message_1076454</guid>
      <pubDate>24 Feb 2009 09:20:00 GMT</pubDate>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">LONDON, ONTARIO-(Feb. 24, 2009) - In anticipation of a second consecutive successful year, <strong>Ontex Resources Limited (TSX:ONT)</strong> is pleased to provide an update on its planned 2009 activities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ontex continues its aggressive approach with an annual exploration budget in excess of $2.3 million for the second year in a row. Diamond drilling is expected to commence in March and is targeted to continue expansion of resources within the 7 kilometer mineralization corridor centered on the Brookbank Gold deposit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Drill results in 2008 were exceptional. Higher gold values have never been encountered over such impressive widths in the entire history of drilling in the Beardmore-Geraldton area. This strongly emphasizes the potential for the Brookbank deposit to host extensive gold resources both along strike and at depth. The system remains wide open in all directions, demonstrating the enormous potential to locate additional gold with every future drill program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Company will finalize a drilling contract this month and due to the global economic decline, drilling costs in 2009 are expected to be about 65% of the costs incurred in 2008. This will allow for significantly more drilling and more gold resource delineation for the same expenditure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Company also welcomes legendary explorationist Kenneth Reading to its field team. Mr. Reading has over 60+ years of expertise in North and South American discoveries, and an impeccable reputation throughout the mining industry. After thoroughly investigating our Brookbank property, Mr. Reading had this to say:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"I believe that the Brookbank Gold Deposit holds the greatest known potential to become the next producer in the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt. I am impressed by the evident dedication of these people and look forward to working with them in Ontex"</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A research report by another well known mining analyst is now being compiled for release in March and we anticipate similarly positive views. The writer was on-site at our Brookbank camp last week and conducted due diligence by carefully analyzing drill core and reviewing collar locations. In addition, a 43-101 report by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle is being finalized and the resource estimation is expected to be announced next month.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Buoyed by increasingly high levels of confidence in its future, the staff of Ontex continues to increase corporate communications efforts to keep our existing share holders well informed, and ensure our very positive story is more widely known in the market place. From being 'the little engine that could', Ontex is rapidly becoming 'the big engine that will', and increasing investor confidence is fully supported by impressive past results and future possibilities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Cambridge Show in Vancouver offered our technical staff the opportunity to provide an analysis on the Brookbank Gold deposit to significant numbers of junior and senior mining company representatives, sector analysts and individuals. We look forward to sharing more of the Ontex Brookbank success story at the PDAC as we welcome everyone to Booth # 3214 from March 1st to 4th for a personal overview of our ongoing plans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ontex Resources Limited is a junior resource company focused on gold exploration at its Brookbank gold property in northern Ontario spanning a strike length of 35 kilometers. To date, diamond drilling has identified a structure of over 7 kilometers extending from surface to a depth of at least 600 meters. A NI 43-101 compliant resource stands at 372,900 ounces of Indicated and 321,800 ounces of Inferred resource. (See NI 43-101 compliant technical report - "Technical Report Brookbank Gold Deposit, Beardmore - Geraldton Area, Northern Ontario" dated April 28, 2006 - filed on Sedar). The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "ONT".</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) --<span> </span><a href="http://search.bloomberg.com/search?q=Eric+Sprott&amp;site=wnews&amp;client=wnews&amp;proxystylesheet=wnews&amp;output=xml_no_dtd&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;filter=p&amp;getfields=wnnis&amp;sort=date:D:S:d1" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006b99; text-decoration: none;">Eric Sprott</span></strong></a>, the Canadian money manager who last year predicted banking stocks would collapse, said the U.S. is at the beginning of an economic depression that will help gold prices more than double.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">Bullion may top $2,000 an ounce in coming years amid a series of financial catastrophes, the chairman and founder of Toronto-based Sprott Asset Management Inc. said yesterday in an interview. Banks will battle to replenish capital, Treasury auctions stand the risk of failing and the moribund economy will create a dire operating outlook for many companies, he said.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">&ldquo;The trend is down, and there&rsquo;s not one signpost that says it&rsquo;s changing yet,&rdquo; Sprott said yesterday from Toronto. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll stand by to wait to see those, and until it does, you have to assume it gets worse.&rdquo;</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">Sprott, who manages $4.5 billion, said in March that the world was in a &ldquo;systemic financial meltdown,&rdquo; a call that presaged the collapse of financial institutions including Bear Stearns &amp; Co. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Since then, the U.S. has entered the worst economic slowdown since the Great Depression, credit markets have tightened and asset prices have dropped as companies and funds sell portfolios to raise cash.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">The 81-company<span> </span><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=S5FINL%3AIND" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006b99; text-decoration: none;">Standard &amp; Poor&rsquo;s 500 Financials Index</span></strong></a><span> </span>has dropped 62 percent since Sprott said on March 6 he was buying bullion and gold-producers&rsquo; shares, while shorting financial- sector stocks. Gold slipped 6.3 percent during the same period.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">So-called short-selling allows speculators to profit from a stock&rsquo;s decline by borrowing shares, selling them to raise cash and buying them later when the price drops to repay the debt.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">Sprott Funds</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">Sprott Hedge Fund LP posted a one-year return of 9.9 percent, while Sprott Hedge Fund LP II rose 18 percent in the period, according to data posted on the company&rsquo;s<span> </span><a href="http://www.sprott.com/pricesperformance/performance.php" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006b99; text-decoration: none;">Web site</span></strong></a>. The Sprott Canadian Equity Fund dropped 37 percent.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">Sprott now favors buying more gold stocks and bullion while selling the entire equity market short. Most at risk in the current climate are banks, discretionary consumer stocks and any companies needing to refinance debt, he said.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">Sprott believes there is a chance that a U.S. Treasury auction will fail as countries use their resources to quell financial turmoil in their home markets, leaving less to help finance the world&rsquo;s largest economy. That outcome will have a &ldquo;catastrophic&rdquo; impact, he said.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">&ldquo;When do people stop buying the credit of the country? That&rsquo;s a tough question to answer, but it&rsquo;s on a lot of people&rsquo;s lips right now,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Each country has their own financial problem, so there&rsquo;s no funding for anything external.&rdquo;</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">Such concerns have driven investors to the gold market, propelling the metal higher as other commodities have slumped and helping<span> </span><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=XAU%3AIND" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006b99; text-decoration: none;">gold-producers&rsquo;</span></strong></a>stocks almost double in the past three months.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #444444;"></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="">- 85.9 gms Au/ 3.4 m (11.15 ft); -incl. 131.66 gms Au/ 1.5m (4.92 ft)</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style=""> - Aggressive drill program for 2009</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">LONDON, ONTARIO-(Dec. 18, 2008) - <strong style="">Ontex Resources Limited (TSX:ONT)</strong> is pleased to announce it has completed the third phase for 2008 of a diamond drill program on its properties in the Beardmore-Geraldton gold belt of northern Ontario. The drill program was 3,560 metres greater than the 8,000 metres originally planned for the Brookbank and Cherbourg gold properties. It was designed to both add more gold-enriched ore and advance inferred resources to the indicated category. The Brookbank Gold System is expanding with every drill program.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Management believes the results achieved this year were an overwhelming success. Drill results in 2008 have proven the Brookbank deposit, located within the sheared fault zone, has continuity to depth and to the west. The system remains wide open in all directions which demonstrates the enormous potential to locate additional gold with every future drill program. The Company anticipates that further exploration in the coming year will also prove the eastern flank.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Drilling at the Brookbank deposit added high grade gold content at depth and on the west flank. Hole B-08-10 assayed 36.67 grams gold per tonne over 9.4 m (30.8 ft) core length at 536.3 m (1759.5 ft) down the hole and included an intersection of 85.92 grams gold over 3.4 m (11.15 ft) with an individual high assay of 131.66 grams gold over 1.5 m (4.92 ft). Drill hole B-08-12, 75 metres further at depth, identified 14.7 grams gold per tonne over 2.3 m (7.5 ft) core length at 591.9 m (1941.9 ft) down the hole. On the west flank of the Brookbank drill hole B-08-09 assayed 4.22 grams gold per tonne over 2.6 m (8.53 ft) core length. Continuing 65 metres deeper, B-08-11 intercepted 13.82 grams gold per tonne over 5.3 m (17.4 ft) core length at 365.8 m (1200.1 ft) down the hole and included a composite interval of 30.01 grams gold per tonne over 1.8 m (5.91ft).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Within the Cherbourg shear zone the resource was expanded by both drill hole C-08-07, which intersected 3.20 grams gold per tonne over 2.8 m (9.2 ft) core length at 230.1 m (754.91 ft) down the hole and drill hole C-08-09 which intercepted 8.38 grams gold per tonne over 1.8 m (5.92 ft) core length at 391.0 m (1282.8 ft) down the hole. To the west, drill hole C-08-08 intersected 2.11 grams gold per tonne over 1.4 m (4.6 ft) core length at 119.6 m (392.4 ft) down the hole.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Company is planning an aggressive 2009 drill program focused on further increasing resources at the Brookbank and Cherbourg areas to the west and the Foxear areas to the east, as well as exploring for other gold deposits on the remaining 35 km strike length of the main fault zone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3D Modeling is advancing on the Foxear zone so that future drill programs, associated with tying this gold-enriched resource to the other known resources, are more effectively completed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Comparatively, the potential to increase the Company's resources on its holdings remains exceptional. Although the balance of the 35 kilometer long Brookbank property has seen very little exploration, it clearly demonstrates the potential to find other gold deposits similar to or larger than Brookbank. The Ontex mining property is presently on care and maintenance with the access road being maintained in anticipation of both data compilation being completed, and an early start to the 2009 program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Original metallurgical testing reaffirmed in 2006 by Lakefield Research that 97% of the gold at the Brookbank Deposit can be recovered by simple conventional recovery processes. The gold is fine grained and occurs as both late stage fracture-fill in pyrite and on pyrite grain boundaries. Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. should have a preliminary working 3D model for presentation to Ontex in December followed by a National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant resource report.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ontex is extremely pleased with the exceptional results of the exploration on the property - which has been accumulated over the past 30 years. Ontex was the first in the area and acquired what management believes to be the most prospective ground to host mineable gold deposits along the major Paint Lake Fault System.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The data herein and the contents of this news release have been reviewed by John P. Thompson, P.Eng., President of Ontex, who is a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101, with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data. Armen Chilian, P.Geo., Vice-President, Exploration on Ontex, is the Qualified Person who planned and is executing the exploration programs. Mr. Thompson is responsible for the current estimate of the resources as reported in the NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report of 2006.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The drill core was logged and split on site and half-core samples analyzed employing the appropriate gold fire assaying techniques at an independent laboratory, Swastika Laboratories of Swastika Ontario with check assaying at Accurassay Laboratories Ltd., Thunder   Bay, Ontario. A QA/QC program developed by Scott Wilson RPA is being employed consisting of duplicate samples, insertion of known standards and check assaying.</p>

<p>Dear Investors,</p>

Gold for December delivery rallied $43.10, or 5.8%, to end at $791.80 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. It jumped 7.1% to $801.90 earlier, rising to above $800 for the first time since Oct. 16. The benchmark contract ended the week up 6.6%, the biggest weekly percentage gain since the week ended Sept. 19. </p>
