LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC and TORONTO, ONTARIO (TSX VENTURE: MXV) and
NFX Gold Inc. ("NFX") (TSX VENTURE: NFX) are pleased to announce
today the results from six follow-up drill holes located in the
Fernland area of the Larder Lake Property in Ontario. The six holes
tested for down-plunge (down to 400m vertical) and lateral (200m
east and west) extensions of the high-grade gold zone intersected
in hole #13 (6.9 g/t Au over 13.5 m, and including 13.1 g/t Au over
6.0 m as reported in the November 1st and 6th, 2007 press
releases). Five of the six follow-up holes intersected gold
mineralization, including hole #21 which intersected 28.1 g/t Au
over 1.0 m.
Fernland Zone Results
Preliminary geological interpretation, based on the results
obtained from all the drilling in the Fernland area, shows that the
mineralization is more complex than anticipated. Based on
intercepts to date, high-grade gold shoots occurring at Fernland
appear to be confined to the immediate vicinity (within 100m) of NW
trending faults. This was confirmed by hole #13's gold-rich
intersection which is located less than 50m from one of those
faults (Fig. 1). Furthermore, holes 19 and 21, both drilled within
100m of the same fault zone all intersected highly anomalous gold
values. Hole #18, drilled west of the fault, cut the mineralized
horizon which graded 0.5 g/t Au over 21.0 m, including 0.7 g/t Au
over 10.7 m. Hole #19 intersected 0.5 g/t Au over 22.9 m, including
a section grading 5.9 g/t Au over 1.5 m. Hole #20 followed the
fault zone almost all the way down and cut disrupted shreds of the
mineralized horizon grading 1.2 g/t Au over 5.8 m, including 3.1
g/t Au over 1.3 m. Hole #21 cut two discontinuous sections of gold
mineralization grading 2.1 g/t Au over 0.8 m and 28.1 g/t over 1.0
m respectively. Holes #22 and #23 did not intersect significant
gold values along the target horizon and seem to have been drilled
outside of the high-grade shoot.
Hole #22 did encounter a gold zone along a different structure
from the other holes in the area grading 1.6 g/t Au over 3.0 m,
including 3.2 g/t Au over 1.1 m and 5.8 g/t Au over 1.2 m. The
intersection is characterized by narrow pyrite-bearing
quartz-carbonate veins. The different style of mineralization and
the different position of the zone suggest the presence of a new
gold zone that will be evaluated for future drilling.
Although apparently somewhat limited (100 to 150 m) in strike
length, these mineralized shoots have proved to contain high-grade
gold values within large gold-anomalous halos around the fault
zones. Based on this, a thorough compilation is underway to fully
assess the attitude and economic potential of these high-grade
zones at Fernland in order to assist with planning additional
drilling.

Bear Lake Zone
The 43,000 m drilling program planned at Larder Lake is
proceeding as scheduled with three drills operating from the ice
surface on Bear Lake. In January, a 34,000 m drill program
commenced at Bear Lake in order to systematically test the Bear
Lake high-grade gold zones intersected in hole #11 (10.4 g/t Au
over 5.2 m, including 20.8 g/t Au over 1.5 m and 8.0 g/t Au over
10.2 m, including 18.6 g/t over 4.2 m as reported on August 16,
2007). The current drill program will investigate the zone along
strike and down-plunge to a vertical depth of 1,000 m.
Larder Lake Property
Maximus is conducting the drilling program pursuant to the
Option and Joint Venture Agreement between Maximus and NFX, whereby
Maximus has the right to earn a 60% interest in NFX's 100% interest
in the Cheminis, Fernland and Bear Lake claims and 45% interest in
NFX's 100% owned Barber Larder claims, by expending $6 million on
exploration by December 31, 2008.
As part of its QA/QC program, Maximus carries out check assays
on the high-grade intersections with no discrepancies found in the
assay results. The turnaround time for the reception of assay
results from the lab has been very slow since September, due to the
very large amount of samples received with the end of the field
season. The situation is gradually returning to normal.
The technical content of the information, related to Larder
Lake, was reviewed by Mr. Bernard Boily, P. Geo., responsible for
supervising the drilling program and qualified person for Maximus
under the guidelines of National Instrument 43-101. The analytical
method for gold is one (1) assay-ton fire assay, AA determination
with gravimetric finish on all samples reporting over 2 grams per
tonne (g/t) gold. Assaying is done at Laboratoire Expert Inc. in
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. The quality control process includes
inserting blank samples and certified standards within each batch
sent to the laboratory.
