Essex Resources Corp. Reports Progress on Exploration at Rabbitt Copper
Silver Lead Zinc Property in South-Central British Columbia
News Release - Vancouver, British Columbia – May 5, 2026 – Essex Resources Corp (“Essex” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: ESXR) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its Rabbitt copper-
silver-lead-zinc property (the “Property”), located in the Similkameen Mining Division of southern British
Columbia. The Property encompass eight contiguous mineral claims comprising a total of 1,048 hectares
located approximately 23 kilometres northwest of the town of Princeton, BC and 1.3 kilometres west of the
village of Tulameen.
The northern portion of the Property, covering the upper slopes of Rabbitt Mountain, hosts an extensive
group of massive sulphide showings that form a partial ring around the mountain’s crest. The Company’s
current geological interpretation suggests that t his ring represents the surface expression of a flat -lying,
plate-like zone of base and precious metal mineralization extending through the mountain.
During the autumn of 2025, Essex completed a comprehensive exploration program designed to advance
its understanding of this mineralized system. The program included induced polarization (IP) geophysics
and total metal ion (TMI) soil geochemical surveys fo cused on the area surrounding the ring of mineral
showings.
The IP survey was conducted along six northeast -southwest trending lines, totaling approximately 5.9
kilometres in length. Survey lines were spaced 200 metres (656.2 ft) apart, covering an area of roughly 1
square kilometre (0.37 mi 2) within the interpreted mineralized ring. In parallel, the 2025 soil survey
consisted of east-west oriented lines of varying lengths, covering approximately 2.5 square kilometres (0.93
mi 2) adjacent to the known showings. A total of 560 soil samples and 16 rock samples were collected
during the program.
The Company has recently received analytical and geophysical results from Peter E. Walcott and Associates
and MSA Labs , an accredited geoanalytical laboratory that is independent of the Company and the QP .
Preliminary review of the data has identified several anomalous responses consistent with the presence of
sulphide mineralization. Detailed data analysis and interpretation are currently underway, with further
results expected in the near term.
Further updates will be provided as interpretation and analysis progresses.
