Fieldex initiate copper nickel resource calculations at Midrim
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, November 7th, 2007. Fieldex Exploration Inc. (FLX :TSXV and F7E : Frankfurt ) is pleased to announce that the engineering firm Genivar has been mandated to execute the resource/reserve calculations on Fieldex’ 100% owned Midrim property.
A total of 116 holes representing over 16 000 metres of diamond drilling has been completed on the property by Fieldex. The 18 hole drilling program recently completed has been strategically located to test several sections of the block model that is the basis for the ongoing resource/reserve calculations.
At Midrim, mineralization typically consists of a number of gabbroic sills with disseminated sulphides in the upper parts of the sills followed by massive sulphide accumulations along the basal part of the sills. The massive sulphides are comprised mainly of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, violarite, pentlandite and pyrite. Native gold and platinum/palladium minerals have also been identified in the sulphides.
Results from phase I, II of diamond drilling on the Midrim property are summarized below (ref. 43-101 Midrim Property, Richard J. Mazur )

Completion of the resource calculations is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2007. The next step will be to obtain a preliminary assessment of the capital and operating costs that would be associated with the development and mining of the resources.
LaForce update
Drill hole LF-07-22 is actually in progress and results from hole LF-07-11 to LF-07-22 will be communicate as soon as available.
Quality control
Assay samples are taken from drill core sawed in half with one half sent to a commercial laboratory and other half retained for future reference.
Qualified person
The Temiscamingue projects are being supervised by Laurent Hallé P.Geo, the qualified person for these projects.
