(TSX VENTURE: GXM)(FRANKFURT: G2W), ("Geodex") announces that all resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting held September 4th were approved.

David Buckle, Mark Fields, Jack Maris, Jack Marr and Jack Patterson were re-elected to the Board of Directors. Gorden Glenn was elected as a new Board member.
Mark Fields, President and CEO, said, "I would like to welcome Gord to the Board of Geodex. Gord is an individual with excellent experience in the capital markets focused on the exploration and mining sector. He is a geologist who has worked for various investment banks in positions of increasing seniority over the past 15 years. Gord will strengthen Geodex's connections with the financial community as we proceed with our renewed exploration focus following the sale of the Sisson tungsten-molybdenum project earlier this year."
Fields continued, "I would also like to thank Neil Seldon, who did not stand for re-election to the Board, for his many contributions to Geodex over the years. Neil provided his mining expertise to our enterprise as well as his business acumen during the period when Sisson was advanced from the exploration to the development study stage. I am also pleased that Neil has agreed to join Geodex's Advisory Board so we can continue to draw upon his expertise as appropriate."
Fields also noted, "Neil Humphreys is retiring as our Chief Geologist. Neil has been a key member of the Geodex operations team since 1993 and was instrumental in the exploration and development of Sisson and many other projects. I have appreciated his many contributions as Chief Geologist over the years."
Shareholders approved the proposed consolidation of Geodex's issued share capital on the basis of one (1) new common share without par value for up to ten (10) existing common shares without par value. The Board of Directors determined to proceed with the share consolidation on the basis of one (1) new common share without par value for ten (10) existing common shares without par value.
