LONDON, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/20/07 -- Ontex Resources Limited (TSX: ONT) ("Ontex") is pleased to announce that it has received the results of preliminary gravity and cyanide leach tests on the Brookbank Gold Ore Deposit conducted by SGS Lakefield Research Ltd. The ore, with a head grade of 13 g/t Au, was processed by gravity separation before undergoing cyanide leaching on the combined gravity tails. A total of 96.5% of the contained gold was recovered at a grind of 80% passing 300 mesh (0.05 mm). A total of 28.3% of the gold was recovered in the Nelson concentrator and Mozley mineral separator table gravity circuit.

The Company is currently planning a 7 hole, 1500 meter diamond drill program commencing approximately in May 2007. Drilling last fall added new ore to the Brookbank picture by both expanding the ore zone to the east and opening up additional potential on the immediate eastern side. With the success of B-06-11 and B-06-12 in an area previous thought to contain no ore, drilling is now warranted in this eastern vicinity. While the southwest plunge of the ore zone is a viable target structurally for deeper drilling, the Company is focused on developing all areas of high potential. One such area occurs within the meta-conglomerate to the immediate northeast of the fall program and is ready for drilling. The on-strike drilling designed for the Company's spring program with 1) expand the Brookbank East ore horizon 2) join it to the main Brookbank zone and 3) continue to increase the entire deposit.
