ATEX Resources Inc. announced results for diamond drill holes ATXD-11B and ATXD-22. These are the third and fourth holes completed in its Phase III drill campaign at the Valeriano Copper-Gold Project ("Valeriano" or the "Project") located in Atacama Region, Chile. Highlights include: ATXD-11B which intersected higher grade intervals of: 0.80% Copper Equivalent "CuEq" (0.50% Cu, 0.35 g/t Au, 29 ppm Mo) over 1,010 metres; and 0.94% CuEq (0.46% Cu, 0.58 g/t Au, 13 ppm Mo) over 222 metres, within the wider interval of 0.73% Cu 0.31 g/t Au, 43 ppm Mo) over 1,342.5 metres (Figures 1,2A&2B).

Results from ATXD-11B confirm a new "high-grade" porphyry trend, the "Western Trend", on the Valeriano Project. The discovery of the Western Trend expands the mineralized corridor over 300 metres to the west of the Central High-Grade Trend and is open along strike for extension. ATXD-22 intersected 970 metres of 0.51% Copper Equivalent " CuEq" (0.38 % Cu, 0.10 g/t Au and 99 ppm Mo).

Drill holes ATXD-23 and ATXD-24 are currently being drilled to the north and south of ATXD-11B to define and extend high-grade mineralization along the Western High-Grade Trend.
