AuEx Ventures, Inc. (TSX: XAU) ("AuEx" or the "Company") is pleased to report that 2010 promises to be the most active exploration year ever for the Company. Total exploration expenditures, including funds from the Company and its eight industry partners, are expected to be about $29,000,000 and will include over 200,000 feet of core and reverse circulation drilling.

At the Company's Meridiano project, reverse circulation drilling is currently underway with additional drilling planned at the Company's La Rosita and Gertrudis properties later in the year. All three projects are located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina and are under agreement with Agnico-Eagle Mines (USA), Limited. In Nevada, core drilling is to begin at the Long Canyon project with Fronteer Development Group, Inc. on April 8th and will then be followed by reverse circulation drilling scheduled to commence in May at the West Pequop project with Agnico-Eagle. Several other Nevada projects are planned for drilling later in the year including Buffalo Canyon and Green Monster with Eldorado Gold Corp., Pasco Canyon and Sinter with Christopher James Gold, Wood Hills South with NuLegacy Gold NV, South Pequop with Golden Dory Resources and Trinity with Liberty Silver Corp. Core drilling is scheduled to begin in southeast Spain with Western Uranium Corp. on April 12th and by then, the Company expects to have exploration drills active within all three countries of current exploration interest.

The $29,000,000 in aggregate expenditures anticipated for 2010 are topped by Long Canyon at about $20,000,000 (51% provided by Fronteer and 49% by AuEx) which includes significant engineering and related activity in addition to drilling, $3,500,000 at West Pequop, $1,500,000 in Argentina, $1,500,000 in Spain with the balance at the Company's other Nevada projects.

"2010 promises to be the most exciting year yet for AuEx with significant work planned to advance and grow the Long Canyon gold deposit and to explore the new Pequop Gold District as well as several other projects in Nevada, Argentina and Spain. We're very optimistic about the Company's opportunities for resource growth and potential new discoveries," said Ronald L. Parratt, AuEx's President & CEO.

In addition to the above activity, an updated resource estimate is in process for the Long Canyon project and an initial resource estimate is underway for the West Pequop project. Both are expected to be released during the 2nd quarter of 2010. The Company also expects to release an initial resource estimate for the Trinity Silver property later in 2010.
