DSP Diamondex Resources Ltd. (Tier1)

Diamondex Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DSP) ("Diamondex") and Triex Minerals
Corporation (TSX VENTURE:TXM) ("Triex") are pleased to announce joint execution
of a binding letter agreement to complete a business combination (the
"Transaction") that has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of
both companies. Diamondex is also proposing to consolidate its common shares on
the basis of one post-consolidation share for every ten pre-consolidation common
shares.


Under the agreement, Diamondex and Triex have agreed, through their respective
special committees comprised of independent directors (the "Special Committees")
in consultation with their respective financial advisors, that the Transaction
will be conducted on the basis of 8.5 pre-consolidation common shares of
Diamondex for each common share of Triex. This represents a 95% premium to Triex
shareholders based on the 20-day volume-weighted average share price of both
companies' common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange up to and including August
11, 2009.


The parties have agreed to immediately negotiate a definitive agreement (the
"Definitive Agreement"), incorporating the terms of the binding letter agreement
and other terms and conditions customary for transactions of this nature. It is
expected that the Definitive Agreement will be entered into in approximately two
weeks' time. The Transaction, which is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture
Exchange and shareholder approval, is expected to close in mid-October 2009.
Upon closing Triex shareholders will hold approximately 48% of the combined
company ("Newco").

and the parties negotiating and entering into the Definitive Agreement.


Coincident with the Diamondex shareholders' meeting to vote on the Transaction,
Diamondex shareholders will be asked to approve a one for ten consolidation and
a name change.


Concurrently with entering into the binding letter agreement in respect of the
Transaction, Triex and Diamondex have entered into a loan agreement with respect
to a $500,000 loan from Triex to Diamondex (the "Bridge Loan") for working
capital purposes. The Bridge Loan is repayable by Diamondex on or before
December 31, 2009 together with interest at the rate of 14% per annum and is
secured by a pledge of Diamondex's proprietary geological database. The terms of
the loan were negotiated by the two Special Committees and is subject to
acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.


ABOUT DIAMONDEX

Diamondex was founded as an exploration company focused on the discovery of
primary diamond deposits in Canada. Through the advancement of original
conceptual models and the successful execution of regional exploration plays,
the Company assembled a property portfolio that, at its peak, exceeded nine
million acres. In 2007 the Company, along with Shore Gold Inc., acquired the
option to earn up to a shared 72.5% interest in the Buffalo Hills Joint Venture
in central Alberta, which hosts the third largest kimberlite field in Canada.


More recently, Diamondex acquired, through staking, 414,000 acres in the "Ring
of Fire" district of northern Ontario, currently one of the most active
exploration districts in Canada. This extensive land position, which contains
numerous geophysical anomalies, protects a package of supracrustal rocks that
potentially host both base and precious metal deposits.


ABOUT TRIEX

Triex explores for uranium deposits with the potential for low cost production,
located in areas with established infrastructure, in jurisdictions where
permitting is favourable and where government policies are supportive of uranium
exploration and development activities. Its current portfolio of eleven main
properties includes seven properties in the Athabasca Basin of northwestern
Saskatchewan, the world's premier exploration district for high grade uranium
deposits.
