VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - March 13, 2007) - Mr. Paul O'Brien reports:

Prominex Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE: PXR.V) announced today that a representative composite of a bulk sample taken in 1998 from the Prominex Tulks Hill property on the T-1 and T-2 lens at surface and the T-3 lens underground returned assays of 13.3% Zinc; 3.7% Lead; 0.66% Copper; 130.1 g/t Silver and 1.66 g/t Gold. This representative composite of the bulk sample was recently re-assayed to confirm historical results.

During 1997 and 1998, United Bolero Development Corp. took a 5.0 tonne underground bulk sample on the T-1 and T-2 lenses at surface and the T-3 lens underground at the bottom of the lens. Metallurgical testing was performed on 2.0 tonnes by Lakefield Research Ltd. This process was directly supervised by Paul O'Brien, B.Sc., P.Eng., Prominex's Vice President of Exploration and Development and a "qualified person" as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

The company is earning a 51% interest in the Tulks Hill property from Buchans River Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BUV.V) (refer to news release of November 14, 2005). The property is located in the Tulks Volcanic Belt in central Newfoundland and is 12 kms northeast of the base metal discoveries of Messina Mineral Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MMI.V).

QUALITY ASSURANCE

The bulk sample was taken from the Tulks Hill property in 1998 under the direct supervision of Mr. O'Brien, who is responsible for the preparation of technical information in this news release.

Mr. O'Brien has maintained a strict chain of control of the bulk sample since 1998. The 5.0 tonne bulk sample was secured in sealed plastic drums at the site and was transported directly to Mr. O'Brien's operations facility, Buchans Enterprises, in Buchans NL. Four of the plastic drums (approximately 2 tonnes) were sent to Lakefield Research Ltd. for metallurgical testing in 1998. The remaining 3.0 tonnes of the bulk sample has been kept secure by Mr. O'Brien since 1998.

This representative composite sample was collected in accordance with industry standards and was submitted to Eastern Analytical Limited, Springdale Newfoundland by Mr. O'Brien.
