  ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC, Aug 31 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (TSX: GMX)(FRANKFURT: G1M)(OTCQX: GLBXF)
is pleased to inform shareholders that it has acquired 100% interest in a
block of 28 claims covering 588 hectares and a strike length of 6 km in
the Woodstock area of New Brunswick.

    The claim block covers a horizon of historic manganese-iron
mineralization which was previously mined at a small scale for the iron
content and is an extension of the horizon containing the historical
Plymouth and North and South Hartford manganese-iron zones to the south.

    The property covers the Iron Ore Hill, Moody Hill and Sharp Farm
manganese-iron zones which have reported historical, non NI 43-101
resources reported as 25 million tons, 10 million tons and 8 million tons
respectively and possibly the northern end of the South Hartford zone (50
million tons). The resource figures are based upon work by Strategic
Materials Corporation (Stratmat) done in 1957 and reported in "The
Mandate Project, Woodstock, N.B." dated December 17, 1969 by W.J. Wark
available in New Brunswick Government files (Note: A Report by K.O.J.
Sidwell titled "The Woodstock, N.B., Iron-Manganese Deposits" published
in 1957 also states that the South Hartford deposit contains 50 million
tons of manganese-iron mineralization). The resource figures should not
be relied upon as Globex staff does not have access to the historical
data required to in part, validate the reported resource.

    Globex became interested in manganese following a call from a shareholder
who suggested that since we already had much of the Periodic Table of the
Elements, we should consider acquiring manganese due to the lack of a
North American producer and its absolute necessity in the production of
steel. We studied a number of manganese occurrences and acquired the
present land package after receiving the results of the analysis of two
large select samples from the Iron Ore Hill Zone which returned 41.41%
and 42.86% manganese oxide (MnO). The first sample was analysed by
Activation Laboratories of Ancester, Ontario and the second by the
Mineral Engineering Center of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. Subsequently, a series of 66 semi continuous chip samples ranging
from 1 to 2 metres in width each were taken along a public road near the
Iron Ore Hill Zone. The sample assays ranged from a low 1.09% MnO to a
high of 26.15% MnO with several sizeable continuous sections in the +15%
MnO and above range. Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) content ranged from a low of
7.74% to a high of 33.27% Fe2O3 with the higher iron assays in many cases
corresponding with the higher MnO values. 

    Historically, nearby deposits such as those found in the geological
formation which traverses Globex's property grade approximately 10% MnO
and 17% Fe2O3.

    Considering the strategic nature of manganese, the lack of a North
American source and the location of the deposit near skilled labour and
rail and highway access, we believe the property warrants a modern
approach especially in regard to new hydrometallurgical applications.
