Philex Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PGI) ("PGI" or "Company") announced today that it
has obtained an interim order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
(Commercial List) with respect to the Company's previously announced Plan of
Arrangement with Philex Mining Corporation ("PMC") and PMC's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Philex Gold Holdings Inc. ("PGHI") (see press release dated February
25, 2010).


Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, PMC would indirectly acquire, through PGHI,
all of the outstanding common shares of PGI from the existing minority
shareholders for US$0.75 per share (the "Transaction"). Following completion of
the Transaction, PGI will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of PGHI. 


The interim order, among other things, authorizes PGI to call and hold a special
meeting of PGI's shareholders to consider the Plan of Arrangement with PMC and
PGHI. In accordance with the interim order, the special meeting of shareholders
will be held in Toronto on April 15, 2010, with a record date at the close of
business on March 11, 2010.


In connection with the special meeting, the Company expects to mail a detailed
management proxy circular (the "Circular") to PGI's shareholders in the near
future. The Circular will include the unanimous recommendation of PGI's board of
directors that shareholders vote for the Plan of Arrangement, as well as a
fairness opinion of IBK Capital Corp., PGI's financial advisor.


The Company would also like to announce that in connection with the sale of his
equity interest in PMC, Walter W. Brown has resigned as Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Company.

and estimates of management at the date the information is made, and is based on
a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and
other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking information. Assumptions upon which
such forward-looking information is based include, without limitation, that the
shareholders of PGI will approve the Transaction, that all required third party,
court, regulatory and governmental approvals to the Transaction will be obtained
and all other conditions to completion of the Transaction will be satisfied or

financing or in the completion of development or construction activities as well
as those risk factors discussed in the management discussion and analysis for
the year ended December 31, 2008 for PGI available at www.sedar.com. Although
PGI has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions,
events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking
