News Release

TerraX begins 2018 winter drill program at Yellowknife City Gold

Vancouver, B.C. – TerraX Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: TXR; Frankfurt: TX0; OTC Pink: TRXXF) is pleased to

announce that it has commenced its 2018 winter dril l program at its Yellowknife City Gold project, imm ediately

adjacent to the City of Yellowknife in the Northwes t Territories. The initial program will total appro ximately 6,000

meters and incorporate up to three dill rigs to tes t dip and strike extensions of the Sam Otto and Cre staurum

deposits (see map here ).

Joe Campbell, CEO of TerraX, states “Our 2018 winte r drill programs will focus on expansion of two of our most

advanced high priority gold targets with a goal of significantly expanding the size of these zones of gold

mineralization.”

Terrax will be drilling at the following targets:

Sam Otto

Sam Otto is a disseminated wide zone of gold minera lization with the potential to yield both a large b ulk tonnage

deposit at the main Sam Otto target and a high-grad e deposit at Sam Otto West (formerly Dave’s Pond ta rget)

(see map here ). Sam Otto is currently outlined over approximately 750 meters of strike and 250 meters of depth

by 56 drill holes. Recent field work in the summer and fall of 2017 has identified the Sam Otto zone over 3.5 km

of strike length, indicating potential for a large deposit. The 2018 drill program will consist of 11 holes that will

extend both the strike and dip of the currently drilled deposit at Sam Otto Main and Sam Otto West.

Crestaurum

Crestaurum is a high-grade deposit currently outlin ed with 253 drill holes over 1.4 km of strike and 1 50 meters of

dip. The last drilling campaign by TerraX took pla ce in the fall of 2015 ( see map here ). Recent biogeochemical

field work, IP surveying, and structural studies ca rried out in the summer and fall of 2017 have helpe d define the

down dip and down plunge extent of the high-grade l odes at Crestaurum. These extension targets will be tested

with 5 holes during the 2018 winter drilling.

Executive Officer of TerraX, who is a Qualified Per son as defined in "National Instrument 43-101, Stan dards of

About the Yellowknife City Gold Project

The Yellowknife City Gold ("YCG") project encompasses 440 sq km of contiguous land immediately north, south

and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwes t Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Te rraX controls

one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canad a. Being within 10 km of the City of Yellowknife, t he YCG is

close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydr o-electric power

and skilled tradespeople.

The YCG lies on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering 45 km of strike length along the main mineralized

break in the Yellowknife gold district, including t he southern and northern extensions of the shear sy stem that

hosted the high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The project area contains multiple shears that are the recognized

hosts for gold deposits in the Yellowknife gold district, with innumerable gold showings and recent high-grade drill

results that serve to indicate the project's potential as a world-class gold district.
