Norex Exploration Services Inc. ("Norex" or the "Company") (TSX:NRX) today
announced the signing of a service agreement with a large multi-national
customer for the provision of a recording crew for seismic data acquisition
programs in the United States.


Norex anticipates that this contract will result in the deployment of an
additional crew for the next year in the United States. In conjunction with this
contract, Norex has purchased an additional ten 67,000lb buggy vibrators. With
this purchase, the Company's vibrator fleet, consisting of both buggy and truck
mounted vibrators, will total 35 machines. As an alternative, or supplemental,
to dynamite-based seismic data acquisition, vibrators generate the acoustic
shock waves used to generate seismic data.


"Our field operations personnel continually strive to be the safest and most
efficient in the industry. The award of this contract is further evidence of the
quality of our field operations" commented Mr. Paul Crilly, President and CEO.

Forward-looking Statements

Certain information set forth in this news release, including management's
assessment of the Company's future plans and operations, contains
forward-looking statements, which are based on the Company's current internal
expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs, which may prove
to be incorrect. Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified by
words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "projects", "intends",
"continues", "estimates", "objective", "ongoing", "may", "will", "should",
"might", "plans" and similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on them. Such
forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, which may cause the Company's actual performance and financial
results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future
performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
The Company provides seismic data acquisition services and is exposed to a
number of risks and uncertainties that are common to companies in the same
business. These risks and uncertainties include demand for the Company's
services which is affected by, among other things, the speculative nature of
resource exploration and development activities, changes in commodity prices,
general economic, market and business conditions; competition for capital and
skilled personnel and shortages thereof; the competitive nature of the seismic
industry; the ability to keep pace with constantly changing technology;
uncertainty in various factors in the oil and gas industry, including the
ability to comply with current and future health, safety, environmental and
other laws; the general risk inherent to seismic data acquisition activities;
risks relating to expansion including pressure on operational and technical
resources; risks relating to the reliance on key officers, employees and
consultants, including an unexpected loss or departure of any one of them;
cancellation of work previously awarded to the Company; the possibility of a
conflict of interest arising for the directors and officers of Norex who are
participants in other sectors of the oil and gas industry; risks relating to
having shareholders who are able to exert influence over the affairs of Norex; 

the possibility of the need for future financing, which may not be available on
favourable terms; the volatility of the trading market for the shares of Norex;
actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including increasing taxes and
changes in other regulations; and the occurrence of unexpected events involved
in resource exploration including, but not limited to, adverse weather
conditions and wind. Adverse weather or field operating conditions can also
negatively impact field productivity and, as a result, the Company's overall
profitability. Certain jobs awarded to the Company are on a "turnkey" pricing
basis where the Company bears the risk of lost productivity, increased input
and/or subcontractor costs. As a result, factors reducing field productivity and
any increases in the Company's input costs could have a material affect on the
Company's profitability.


The forward-looking information and statements included in this press release
are not guarantees of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated and described in the
forward-looking statements.


The information contained in this press release should not be considered
all-inclusive as it excludes changes that may occur in general economic,
political and environmental conditions. The Company cautions that actual
performance will be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond
its control. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking information and statements
contained in this press release speak only as of the date hereof and, subject to
its obligations under applicable law, the Company does not intend, and does not
assume any obligation, to update these forward looking statements if conditions
