Namex Explorations Inc., a junior Canadian exploration company, is traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol NME.

There are 28,010,021 common shares issued and outstanding, fully diluted common shares: 34,790,871.

Mission Statement: Namex's mission is to add value for its shareholders by acquiring, exploring for, discovering and defining, in North America, mineral resources of sufficient quality to warrant their development. Once mineral resources are sufficiently defined, it intends to sell the properties to major mining companies. Exploration of the properties is conducted under the direction of the technical team, which originally selected them.

Company Profile:

Namex is aggressively exploring for large significant ore deposits of precious and base metals.

The company has properties around the Sudbury Basin and close to Timmins in Ontario as well as in the Eastern Townships of Quebec and northwestern Quebec.

The Properties:

The Huffman - Timmins Area of Ontario:

In September of 2006, Namex optioned an extremely exciting property, The Huffman. Located about 110 kilometres from Timmins and 200 kilometres from Sudbury in the Swayze Gold Belt, The Huffman is comprised of 4 un-patented mining claims totalling 1,560 acres/624 hectares situated in Huffman and Potier townships.

Namex's technical team, headed by Oliver T. Maki, Namex Director and Chief Geologist, conducted an aggressive exploration program on the project this past field season. A field base camp was set up and the following exploration activities were conducted: mapping and prospecting, excavator overburden stripping and trenching, a Mobil Metal Ions (MMI) geochemical survey plus a magnetometer survey and diamond saw cut channel sampling. Diamond drilling was started but had to be curtailed with the advent of winter conditions.

Grab samples taken late in 2006 from a narrow blue-grey quartz vein within a porphyry intrusive, returned spectacular assay grades of up to 54.2 grams or 1.92 ounces of gold, 1,620 grams or 57 ounces of silver, 8.63% copper, 12.6% lead, 2.3% zinc and 5.94% antimony per ton. These samples were derived from intersections of the narrow quartz vein within four trenches and defined a strike length of some 240 metres. It is of prime importance to determine the source of this mineralization. (See December 14, 2006 news release). A subsequent Mobil Metal Ions (MMI) geochemical survey identified a highly anomalous mineralized zone measuring 300 x 200 meters (1,000 x 650 feet) that is open to the east and to the west. In addition to the base and precious metals assayed, molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten and uranium mineralization has been identified by MMI. The shallow depth of overburden over the mineralized zone allowed for rapid testing by excavation and surface sampling. The channel sampling of the intrusive porphyry up to 40m to 50m wide, shows that the gold grade is increasing within the porphyry as one goes from east to west. In addition to the 300 metre strike length of highly anomalous MMI indications, the 2007 MMI sampling has now extended the potential zone by another 600 metres to the east. Since the gold appears to be associated with the sulphides, it has been decided that an IP survey will be the most effective method to outline potential drill target areas. The source of the high grade mineralization remains a priority target. Management is excited about the indicated size and economic potential of The Huffman.

The Sudbury Properties:

The company has established a significant ground position of 12,400 acres in the prolific Sudbury mining camp where the value of ore mined and currently in reserve has recently been estimated at $300 billion Canadian. All Namex Sudbury properties abut and are totally surrounded by claims held by INCO - recently acquired by Companhia Vale do Rio Doce ("VALE"), Falconbridge - acquired by Xstrata, Wallbridge, FNX, Ursa Major and Champion Bear.

1. The Golden Pine

The Golden Pine property is a 7,520 acre/3,008 hectare package located 40 kilometres (25 miles) northeast of Sudbury within Parkin and Hutton townships, and is situated west of Namex's Post Creek property. The property is unique in that it hosts a wide variety of types of mineralization. In addition to historical drill hole assays, attention is immediately drawn to the 2006 multi-ounce channel sample results that resemble those of Goldcorp's Red Lake Gold Mine, the richest gold mine in the world. Namex's grab and channel samples returned grades of up to 182 grams or 5.2 ounces of gold and 122 grams or 4.3 ounces of silver per ton.

A recent MMI survey has identified a large anomalous gold target area with results of more than 1,000 times background. Additional MMI surveys are planned and will be followed by diamond drilling.

Favourable Huronian basal conglomerates, underlying the northwestern area of the claims, will also be prospected for uranium, as part of the company's program.

2. The Post Creek

The Post Creek property is located 35 kilometres (22 miles) east of Sudbury in Norman and Parkin townships. This 1,720 acre/688 hectare property is strategically located on strike with the Whistle Offset Dyke structure, which hosts FNX's Podolsky nickel, copper and P.G.M. discovery. The Podolsky discovery, located approximately 1.5 km (1 mile) from the Namex property boundary, is presently undergoing a $42 million development program that includes the construction of a decline ramp complete with drilling stations.

Its indicated reserves are in excess of 3 million tonnes, grading 3.3% copper, 0.30% nickel and 6.78 g/t total precious metals. Recent news, see FNX Sept. 5, 2007 news release - "This bore hole intersected 60 feet grading 25.6% copper, 1.6% nickel and 0.6 ounce per ton platinum, palladium and gold". This bore hole is within 2,000 feet of the FNX/Namex property line. Namex has established that the Whistle Offset structure extends some 1,800 feet across the Post Creek property and contains anomalous nickel, copper, PGM's and gold mineralization.

Exploratory drilling has proven that the extension of the Whistle Offset structure crosses the Post Creek Property. Namex intends to explore additional targets along the Whistle Offset structure this year with geological mapping, overburden excavation and MMI geochemical surveys.

Elsewhere on the property a grid has been established for an MMI survey covering a large area of historic high-grade zinc and copper mineralization originally outlined by Oliver T. Maki, Namex's Chief Geologist, in the early 1960's. Assays of up to 9.72% zinc, 3.72% copper and 0.69 g/t gold were obtained from outcrop rock samples.

3. The Woods Creek

This 3,160 acre/1,264 hectare property is located 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of Sudbury in Hyman township. Namex's Woods Creek property abuts the Ursa Major property on the western and southern boundaries and Wallbridge to the east and north. Namex has been exploring for nickel, copper, cobalt and PGM's within Nipissing Diabase rocks that are similar to the rocks that host Ursa Major's nickel, copper, PGM mineralization at its Shakespeare deposit. This deposit is located 15 kilometers southwest of Woods Creek and contains 7,301,000 tons grading 0.37% nickel, 0.39% copper, 0.024% cobalt, 0.37 g/t platinum, 0.40 g/t palladium and 0.20 g/t gold. Drilling by Namex in 2002, testing below a surface showing of sulphide mineralization assaying 1.22% copper and 0.95% nickel, encountered 7.0 metres (23 feet) of anomalous sulphide mineralization with up to 0.37% copper, 1.09% nickel and anomalous PGM's and gold. Namex intends to conduct an additional follow up drilling program this year.

Namex also has uranium showings on its property and intends to explore the possibility of uranium bearing formations dipping onto the northern portion of the property from the adjacent former Agnew Lake Uranium Mine's property.

Quebec Properties:

Namex also has several base and precious metal properties in the Eastern Townships of Quebec and in northwestern Quebec. Exploration programs are not scheduled for 2008.
