Gold Exploration in West Africa

"The New Robex" Confirmation of Richard Savard as President and Chief Executive Officer on Full Time Basis

04/05/2005
Montréal - Ressources Robex Inc (TSX-V: RBX), a Canadian gold exploration and development company, announced in a Press Release of January 24th, 2005 that Robex Resources Inc.(RBX;TSXV) had appointed Mr. Richard Savard to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer. Having recently retired he had agreed at that time to serve in those capacities on a limited basis and only until an appropriate successor CEO could be located. The Board of Directors is pleased to confirm that Mr. Savard has now agreed, and the Board has formally confirmed, that he will occupy these positions on a permanent basis.

Since 1974, Mr. Savard has spent more than 12 years working in Mali managing geological and mining exploration projects. From 1996 to 1998 Mr. Savard was based in Bamako, Mali where he was the Manager for West Africa of Barrick Gold Corporation and GeoSciences International. He was responsible for the technical management of seven exploration projects for gold in Mali, Niger and Senegal and was involved in project development in Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Morocco. His staff included some 20 Canadian Geologists and technicians, 30 national Geologists and technicians, and hundreds of support staff.

In his first two months with Robex Mr. Savard has been working diligently with a mandate from the Board of Directors to create and shape "The New Robex" and to that end he has been responsible thus far for acquiring five highly-prospective new gold properties (now bringing to ten the total number of gold exploration properties in Mali), establishing an office and a permanent presence for Robex in Mali, and he is currently assembling a team of Geologists and technical personnel oriented toward the discovery of major gold deposits in Mali. One such Geologist is Phillipe Biron who resides in Mali and who, like Mr. Savard, has several years of experience in Mali with Barrick and GSI, but in addition has a working geological familiarity with each of the new Mininko, Kamasso, and Sanoula properties recently acquired by Robex.

Messrs Savard and Biron have been allotted 150,000 and 50,000 stock options respectively, at 0,35$, exercisable over a period of five years.

Mr. Savard will be working in Mali over the next few weeks with the Company's existing geologists with a view to establishing and assigning immediate exploration priorities for the Company's several gold properties.

This Press Release and the within disclosure have been reviewed by one of our Qualified Persons, Richard Savard, Geologist, President and CEO of Robex Resources Inc.

These agreements are subject to the Approval of Regulatory Authorities.

Robex Resources Inc (TSX-V: RBX), a Canadian gold exploration and development company, has recently adopted the mission of transforming itself into one of the pre-eminent gold exploration companies working in Mali, West Africa, by establishing a permanent presence in Mali, identifying and acquiring properties which boast favourable geology and high potential for the discovery of major gold deposits, building an exploration team of consummate exploration professionals, and aggressively exploring several properties simultaneously on a continuous basis with state-of-the-art exploration programs.
