ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC, CANADA--(Marketwire - March 4, 2010) - GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (TSX:GMX)(FRANKFURT:G1M)(PINK SHEETS:GLBXF) is pleased to inform shareholders that we have received assays from five surface samples taken on our Coconut Club showing discovered east of Kipawa, Quebex on Globex's +20,000 ha, 100% owned Hunters Point uranium, gold, rare earth property. Previous analysis of the samples showed that many of the assays were extremely anomalous and beyond the analytical capability of the method used: It could only measure up to 10,000 ppm or 1% on many of the rare earth elements. The following are the assays as reported by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ontario. The Coconut Club showing is located within a 2.5 km long radiometric anomaly.
Below are tables reporting in parts per million (ppm) the abundance of rare earths elements in the 5 samples (1 ppm= 1 g/t). Assays over 1000 ppm are reported in percentiles based upon 10,000 ppm=1%.

Sample preparation was done by Laboratoires Expert located at 127 Industrial Boulevard, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Pulps were sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd. at 1336 Sandhill Drive, Ancaster,Ontario for fusion and analysis. Fused samples are diluted and analyzed by Perkin Elmer Sciex ELAN 9000 ICP/MS. Three blanks and five controls (three before sample group and two after) are analyzed per group of samples. Duplicates are fused and analyzed every 15 samples. The instrument is recalibrated every 40 samples.
