For Immediate Release

Novadx Arranges US$400,000 MCoal Financing

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

(Vancouver, BC, December 11, 2009) Novadx Ventures Corp (“Novadx”) - TSX-V: NDX announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, MCoal Corporation ("MCoal"), has entered into agreements to issue US$400,000 of Series "B" 12% Secured Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures").

The Debentures are secured against MCoal's assets, subject to any prior charges, and mature on June 30, 2010.  Interest at a rate of 12% per annum is payable on the earlier of the date of conversion or repayment.   In the event that MCoal fails to repay the principal amount of the Debentures plus all accrued interest thereon before June 30, 2010, or Novadx directly or indirectly, elects to sell its interest in MCoal or the Rosa Coal Project prior to the end of June 30, 2010, the holders may elect to convert the Debentures into a 10% joint venture interest in the net revenue before taxes generated over the life of MCoal's Rosa Coal Project.

Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, Novadx has agreed to issue 200,000 common shares (the "Bonus Shares"), at a deemed price of $0.20 per share, in consideration of the investors providing the Debenture financing to MCoal.  The Bonus Shares will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.

Proceeds from the Debentures will be used by MCoal to purchase a certificate of deposit which will be pledged to obtain a letter of credit to post a reclamation bond, as required for the issuance of a mine permit for its Rosa Coal mine by the Alabama Surface Mining Commission.

About MCoal: MCoal Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Novadx Ventures Corp., has been actively acquiring surface and mineral interests that cover the Rosa Coal deposit.  The Rosa Coal Project is a metallurgical coal mine project located in Blount County in Northern Alabama, approximately 40 miles from the City of Birmingham, which is the location of two existing coking plants that have historically used the Rosa Coal in their operations.
