Geologix Explorations Inc.: Tepal Resource Expansion Drilling
Intersects 95 Metres of 1.18 g/t Gold and 0.39% Copper Outside
Current Resource

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 25, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX
News Network) --
Geologix Explorations Inc. (TSX: GIX)(FRANKFURT: GF6)(BERLIN:
GF6)(STUTTGART: GF6)(MUNICH: GF6) (the "Company") is pleased to
announce initial assay results from the Company's ongoing drill
program at the Tepal project in Michoacan, Mexico. All drilling in
the current program is focused exclusively on resource expansion
and exploration targets, with no in-fill drilling. To date 22
resource expansion holes have been drilled around the perimeter of
the North and South zones, with step-outs ranging from 50 to 150
metres from prior resource drilling. Assays from 16 of these holes
are reported here. Results indicate the presence of significant
gold and copper mineralization outside the previously outlined
resource boundaries, with all reported intercepts grading above the
economic cut-off used in the recent Preliminary Economic Assessment
("PEA") report (see news release of October 12, 2010). Furthermore,
this mineralization remains open in several directions and will
require additional step-out drill testing to determine its extent.

accompanying drill plan and sections. Alternatively, to see the

Highlight intersections from the drilling around the North and
South zones
include:
-- Hole TEP-10-020 which intersected 95.0 metres ("m") of 1.18
grams per
tonne ("g/t") gold and 0.39 percent ("%") copper and ended in
mineralization;
-- Hole TEP-10-019 which intersected 112.2 metres of 0.35 g/t gold
and
0.21% copper; and
-- Hole TEP-10-006 which intersected 62.0 metres of 0.51 g/t gold
and 0.25%
copper
Dunham Craig, President & CEO stated, "We are very pleased with
the resource expansion potential evolving around the two PEA pits
designed by SRK Consulting based on the existing NI-43-101
resource. The drilling up to 1 kilometre east of the pit area
looking for new zones, which is not reported here, is progressing
well and we look forward to compiling the results in the near
future. The PEA has given us clear guidelines to what is required
for positive economic value and in conjunction with our better
understanding of geology, we feel our project development is
solidly based going forward. The Company recommends viewing the
plans and sections to evaluate the significance of these drill
results."
Further assay details are outlined in Table 1 below. NSV "No
Significant Value" indicates that assay values are below the
economic cut off used in the 2010 PEA ($900 Au, $2.75 Cu metal
prices). Drill intercepts reported below may or may not be economic
at this time and will be determined in a future study.

The current drill program is designed to drill a total of 11,500
metres in 55 holes, with 23 of the holes testing around the North
and South zones, and an additional 32 holes aimed at testing
multiple newly delineated targets to the east of the current
resource zones, including the Tizate zone and other potential zones
in 2010. This represents the first phase of drilling at Tepal by
Geologix and is solely aimed at identifying additional
mineralization to expand the resource, and increasing the scale of
this emerging project. Additional assay results from the remaining
drill holes will be issued as they become available.
Geologix's Resource Geologist, Andrew Hamilton, B.Sc., P. Geo., a
