THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR OVER UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES.

Novadx Ventures Corp, President & CEO, Neil MacDonald, reports:

Novadx Ventures Corp. ("Novadx" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NDX) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, MCoal Corporation ("MCoal") has received an advance payment of US$25 million (the "Second Upfront Deposit"), in accordance with the US$38.0 million definitive Coal Production Payment Agreement (the "Agreement") with Sandstorm Metals & Energy Ltd. ("Sandstorm") previously announced on Nov 26, 2010. MCoal previously received an initial payment of US$5 million from Sandstorm as announced on January 7, 2011, bringing the aggregate amount advanced under the Agreement to US$30 million.

The Second Upfront Deposit has been advanced to MCoal because MCoal has satisfied certain funding conditions, including the acquisition of a 100% interest in Tiacme LLC, and its sole asset the Rex No. 1 Mine located in Campbell County, Tennessee as announced January 24, 2011. In accordance with the Agreements the remaining US$8 million advance payment will be remitted upon completion of certain additional funding conditions including the acquisition of the Ikerd group of companies' assets previously announced in July, 2010 (the "Ikerd Acquisition"). MCoal and Sandstorm have agreed to extend the deadline date to meet these conditions to occur on or before April 30, 2011.

MCoal intends to use the US$25 million to commence development and operations of the Rex. No. 1 Mine and close the Ikerd Acquisition.

Neil MacDonald, CEO of Novadx commented, "This US$25 million second advance payment, represents a significant milestone achieved in our plans to grow the Company. The net proceeds of this financing, which, based on our current share capitalization, equates to approximately 34 cents per share cash infusion to our treasury, will allow us to further develop and increase production at our two fully-owned coal mines as well as further expand our coal mining assets through completion of the Ikerd Acquisition."

Payment of the Second Upfront Deposit entitles Sandstorm to receive a coal stream consisting of a 25% interest in the surface coal mined at the Rosa Mine at a fixed ongoing payment of US$75.00 per ton replacing the 8.5% coal stream announced on January 7, 2011 and a 25% interest in all the coal mined at the Rex No. 1 Mine at a fixed ongoing payment of US$75.00 per ton for metallurgical grade coal and US$55.00 per ton for non-metallurgical grade coal until such time as the aggregate upfront deposits of US$30 million have been repaid. Thereafter, Sandstorm's coal stream will reduce to a 16% interest for the life of each mine (see November 26, 2010 News Release for details).

Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, Surge Capital Corp. will receive a finder's fee of $1,250,000 (representing 5% of the Second Upfront Deposit), payable in cash and 2,343,750 share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") exercisable at $0.25 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The warrants and common shares issuable on exercise thereof will have a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.
