REX RESOURCES CORP. ANNOUNCES LETTER OF INTENT FOR PROPOSED REVERSE

TAKEOVER TRANSACTION WITH SOUTHERN SKY RESOURCES CORP.

Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for release publication, distribution or dissemination

directly, or indirectly, in whole or in part, in or into the United States.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – REX RESOURCES CORP. (TSX-V: OWN) (“Rex”), a mineral exploration company listed

on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange”), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of

intent (the “Letter of Intent ”) dated February 24, 2023 with Southern Sky Resources Corp. (“ Southern Sky”) in

respect of a proposed business combination (the “ Proposed Transaction ”). It is anticipated that the Proposed

Transaction will constitute a “Reverse Takeove r” of Rex in accordance with Policy 5.2 – Changes of Business and

Reverse Takeovers of the Exchange. All currency references herein are in Canadian currency unless otherwise

specified.

About Southern Sky

Southern Sky is a private company existing under the laws of Ontario and is based in Toronto, Ontario. Immediately

prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction, Southern Sky shall have 42,847,438 common shares (the “Southern Sky

Shares”) outstanding, as well as 2,341,538 common share purchase warrants to acquire up to 2,341,538 Southern Sky

Shares at an exercise price of $0.0294 per share.

Southern Sky’s material asset consists of its rights to acquire a 100% interest in two non-contiguous licences,

016270M and 034769M, comprising the Wings Point Project (the “Property”) pursuant to an option agreement (the

“Option Agreement ”) dated January 17, 2023 with Zonte Metals Inc. (“ Zonte”). The Property comprises

approximately 1,825 hectares and is lo cated 35 kilometres north Gander, Newf oundland. Zonte is a publicly traded

company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV - ZON).

Wings Point Property (two-year option to acquire a 100% interest)

Geology of the Wings Point Project

The Property lies in the eastern edge of the Dunnage Zone, within the Exploits Subzone. Rocks underlying the Property

are the Davidsville Group and are dominantly shallow marine siltstones and shales with sandstones and limestones of

Middle Ordovician age. Mineralization identified to date th rough this belt includes vein hosted gold and sediment

hosted disseminated gold. To date, the gold discovered by New Found Gold Corp. and Labrador Gold Corp. occurs

mainly in second order cross cutting structures associated with the Appleton Fault Zone, which all lie in the Ordovician

Davidsville Group sediments. Sulphide mineralization is characterized mainly as pyrite and needle arsenopyrite.

The Property has undergone previous exploration programs consisting of geological mapping, soil and rock sampling,

a ground magnetic survey, an Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey and diamond drilling.

Currently, the major asset associated with the Property is a strategic land position covering prospective lithologies and

faults for gold deposits. The Property hosts two underexplored IP anomalies which returned elevated gold values in

diamond drilling thus merits additional exploration.

Licence 016270M

Exploration on Licence 016270M completed by Zonte commenced in 2011 with a comprehensive data compilation

followed by Phase 1 exploration program of prospecting, rock and soil sampling as well as ground IP and magnetic

- 2 -

LEGAL_40737201.7.docx

surveys. Two parallel, IP Chargeability and Resistivity anomalies each being approximately one kilometre in length

which are associated with mineralized sandstones and shal es with some graphite being delineated. Additional soil

and rock sampling was carried out in 2019. A six-hole diamond drilling program totaling 1,296 m carried out in 2020

tested a small portion of the kilometre long anomalies on licence 016270M. The drill program confirmed the mapped

lithological units and returned a few elevated gold values, the best being 0.48 m grading 1.296 g/t.

Gold mineralization occurs on Licence 016270M at the Ledr ew Quarry in sheared and altered shales, siltstones and

greywacke of the Indian Islands Group. Arsenopyrite needles, 2 to 4 mm long, along with quartz-carbonate, sericitic

and siliceous alteration are the primary ch aracteristic of the mineralization found in this area. Pyrite, pyrrhotite and

chalcopyrite have also been observed. Elevated gold values in rock grab samples to date are in the range of 200 ppb

to 1,500 ppb.

Licence 034769M

Exploration on Licence 034769M carried out by Zonte in 2021 consisted of a rock and soil sampling program that

focused on two 2012-IP lines, which delineated a resistivity anomaly. Zonte completed a compilation of historical

soil and rock data in 2022. Elevated arsenic values were returned for some of the soil samples.

Historical data research and compilation followed by field exploration confirmed the presence of gold mineralization

associated with altered, sulphide-rich, sediments in two distinct stratigraphic horizons known as the Western and

Eastern Geophysical Targets in the Ledrew Quarry area. The gold-bearing, arsenopyrite and pyrite-rich shales and

greywacke are exposed in surface trenches and are readily identified by Induced Polarization chargeability anomalies

as well as by anomalous gold and arsenic values in-soil anomalies.

Two glacial till samples taken by Noranda Inc. in 1998 assayed 59.22 g/t Au and 5.26 g/t Au, but they have not been

verified.

Terms of the Option Agreement for Wings Point Project

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Southern Sky may acquire a 100% interest in the Property by issuing

750,000 Southern Sky Shares and paying a total of $100,000 in cash to Zonte over a two-year period as follows:

a) Issuing 250,000 Southern Sky Shares to Zonte upon the receipt by Southern Sky of all required

regulatory and stock exchange approvals including to commence trading (the “Effective Date”);

b) Issuing 250,000 Southern Sky Shares and paying $50,000 to Zonte one year after the Effective Date; and

c) Issuing 250,000 Southern Sky Shares and paying $50,000 to Zonte two years after the Effective Date.

Southern Sky is required to complete $100,000 in annual expenditures on the Property until such time as the option is

exercised including $9,300 on Licence 034769M prior to June 6, 2023.

Zonte retains a 2% net smelter return (“ NSR”) from production on Licence 034769M which Southern Sky may, at

any time after the commencement of commercial production, may reduce from two percent (2%) to one percent (1%)

upon payment of $1,000,000 to Zonte.

Licence 016270M is subject to a 3% NSR from a previous agreement. Zonte has the option to reduce the NSR to 1%

by paying the original vendors $2,000,000. In the event that Southern Sky exercises the Option Agreement it would

be required to issue 150,000 Southern Sky Shares to the original vendors upon the determination of 1 million ounces

of gold and an additional 200,000 Southern Sky Shares 2 million ounces of gold in the measured and indicated resource

categories.

It is anticipated that, following the Proposed Transaction, the requirement to issue Southern Sky Shares under the

Option Agreement would be satisfied by issuance of post-Consolidation (as defined below) Rex common shares (“Rex

Shares”).

NI 43-101 Technical Report on Wings Point Project

Southern Sky has retained Stanley Robinson, MSc., P.Geo to prepare a technical report (the “ Technical Report”)

specific to the standards dictat ed by National Instrument 43 -101 and Form 43 -101F Standards of Disclosure for

Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) with respect to the Property.

Brad Dyke, P.Geo of NCD Consulting Ltd. was contracted by Southern Sky to collect representative mineralized rock

grab samples from the Wing's Point Project. The sudden onse t of winter conditions limited the sampling program as

a 10 to 15 cm blanket of snow covered the area. A recent mild period exposed some outcrop and boulders in open

areas. On November 28, 2022 four samples were collected from within the Property area from various locations with

varying concentrations of acicular ar senopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. The samples collected all weathered a rusty

orange color and were fine grained, dark grey in color on an un-weathered broken surface. There was some quartz

and/or carbonate veinlets observed and weak pervasive si lica alteration. The samples all appear to be an altered

sedimentary unit, possibly a siltstone or sandstone.

Below is the sample location information for each site and the type of grab sample collected as well as the gold results

from Eastern Analytical who completed the geochemical analysis.
