VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 16, 2009) - Corex Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CGE) has commenced a 3D IP Survey on its Santana gold project in Sonora State, Mexico. The program will consist of 42 line-kilometres grid, which will cover the central project area known as El Nicho and the most prospective targets of the Santana Project, including the Cerro La Cobriza area located 2 km to the North East of El Nicho North.

SJ Geophysics Ltd. [ www.sjgeophysics.com ] an industry leader in geophysical modeling and computer analysis will conduct a 3D IP survey on the Santana Project to test the continuity of the mineralized trends already identified by the mapping, geochemical survey and 5000 m of RC drilling. The IP survey will be acquired with the 3D IP technique which will consist of a modified pole-dipole survey with 50 m spaced dipoles. An estimated 25 to 30 lines will be spaced 100 m apart and will be approximately 1500 m in length.

The primary target will be oxide mineralization between the surface and 150 m of depth, on wider zones of silicified and brecciated to breccia bodies in contact with high level intrusive plugs Corex may elect to add to the lines if a good indication of mineralization at greater depth is recognized.

The purpose of the 3D IP Survey is to identify signatures at depth which will further delineate drill targets and compliment the geochemical targets previously outlined. This work will be followed by a 30,000 m drill program that will commence in 2010. The drill program will include Diamond drilling as well as an RC program of the known mineralized areas as well as newly identified gold zones.
