VANCOUVER, BC
,
June 30, 2021
/CNW/ -
Callinex Mines Inc.
(the "Company" or "Callinex") (TSXV: CNX) (OTC: CLLXF) is pleased to announce additional drill
results from the ongoing
30,000m
drilling campaign to expand the high-grade copper, gold, silver and zinc Rainbow Deposit (the "Rainbow"). The Rainbow is
located at the 100% owned Pine Bay Project within a mineral lease, less than
250m
from a high-voltage hydroelectric power-line and
550m
from a historic shaft
with direct road access to processing facilities in
Flin Flon, MB
(
Rainbow Deposit Plan View
).
The Yellow and Orange zones appear to be converging in drill hole PBM-129-W2 which intersected a broad mineralized interval that returned
67.0m
of 2.89%
copper equivalent ("CuEq") consisting of 2.73% copper ("Cu"), 0.13 g/t gold ("Au"), 3.46 g/t silver ("Ag"), 0.12% zinc ("Zn"). The Orange Zone returned
13.00m
of
9.19% CuEq consisting of 8.75% Cu, 0.39 g/t Au, 11.59 g/t Ag, 0.19% Zn including a higher grade interval of
2.50m
that returned 18.23% CuEq comprised of
17.60% Cu, 0.49 g/t Au, 24.81 g/t Ag and 0.24% Zn (

). The Orange Zone was preceded by an intersection in the Yellow Zone which
returned
6.50m
of 5.04% CuEq consisting of 4.71% Cu, 0.21 Au, 4.63 Ag and 0.40% Zn. PBM-129-W2 is located
60m
along strike to the south of PBM-113-W1
and
67m
vertically above PBM-129-W1 (
Rainbow Deposit Long Section
).

Max Porterfield
, President and CEO, stated, "The drill results announced today represent the two widest intersections to date at the Rainbow Deposit. These
wider intersections are typical of the pinching and swelling in Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide lenses as seen in the Orange and Yellow Zones. Drilling over the
summer will continue to focus on building a high-grade copper resource at the Pine Bay Project."

PBM-131 intersected the Orange Zone with
20.53m
of 3.21% CuEq (2.58% Cu, 0.22 g/t Au, 6.63 g/t Ag and 1.11% Zn) including
7.84m
of 5.74% CuEq (5.50%
Cu, 0.21 g/t Au, 7.17 g/t Ag and 0.11% Zn) and
14.75m
of 3.64% CuEq (2.83% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au, 8.24 g/t Ag and 1.51% Zn) (

).
Drill hole PBM-131 is
62m
vertically above PBM-113-W2 and
95m
vertically below PBM-118.
There are currently two rigs operating to expand the Rainbow closer to surface and at depth. Since the Company resumed drilling in mid-February, 19 holes
(including 2 wedges) have been announced for a total of 11,323 meters out of a fully funded 30,000 meter budgeted drill program. Callinex will continue to provide
results on an ongoing basis for the duration of the 2021 drilling campaign.

Notes:
1.
PBM-131 collar is located at the following Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) within UTM Zone 14N:331402m East and 6071286mNorth and 296.0m above sea level, and started at 296Az, -81 degree dip. PBM-129-W2
was a wedge hole (440m depth) off the (PBM-129) parent which collar was is located at the following Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) within UTM Zone 14N: 331378m East and 6071255m North and 295.0m above
sea level, and started at 290Az, -87 degree dip.
2.
The size of the drill core is NQ.
3.
True Width calculations assumed the Rainbow Horizon to strike 032 degrees azimuth, with a 80 degree easterly dip.
4.
All CuEq (copper equivalent) assay results in this news release use the following pricing: US$3.00 copper per pound ($6,720/tonne), US$1.15 zinc per pound, US$1,450/troy ounce gold ($46.62/gram), US$16.50/toy ounce silver ($0.53/gram), calculation CuEQ= Cu%+(Zn% x zinc price
per pound / copper price per pound)+(Au g/t x Au price per gram / copper price per tonne) x100 + (Ag g/t x Ag price per gram / copper price per tonne) x 100. 100% metal recoveries used, ie no process recoveries or smelter payables were included in the calculation.
5.
Drill hole PBM-130 was abandoned @70m due to deviation.

QA / QC Protocols
Individual samples were labeled, placed in plastic sample bags, and sealed. Groups of samples were then placed in security sealed bags and shipped directly to
SGS lab in
Vancouver, BC
for analysis. Samples were weighed then crushed to 75% passing 2mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns in order to produce
a 250g pulverized split. 35 elements including copper, zinc, lead and silver assays were determined by Aqua Regia digestion with a combination of ICP-MS and
ICP-AES finish, with over limits rerun using an ore grade analysis (two acid digest ICP-AES). Gold was analyzed by fire assay. Specific gravity (sg) measured for
each sample using the pycnometer and water and air method. QA/QC included the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards, blanks, and
duplicates
