PRESS RELEASE
TerraX Provides Update on 2020 Winter Drilling at the Yellowknife Gold Camp, Canada
Vancouver, B.C. – TerraX Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: TXR; Frankfurt: TX0; OTC Pink: TRXXF)
(“TerraX” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the 2020 winter drilling program.
As of the end of January, TerraX had drilled 1916 metres in 7 drill holes. Drilling is being done in
an effort to expand the NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource estimate at Sam Otto which was
reported on November 4, 2019.
David Suda, President and CEO, stated, “We are excited to have intersected wide shear zones
at Sam Otto South with 3 holes containing quartz veins showing visible gold with potential to
repeat the success of hole TSO-035. We believe these preliminary results could aid significantly
in achieving our goal of expanding the resource at Sam Otto. We very much look forward to the
assay results.”
Five holes totalling 1497 metres have been drilled on strike and below hole TSO18-035 (line
3100N) which intersected 2.16 g/t Au over 27.12m ( March 9, 2018 ). The five holes have been
drilled on a 50m spacing laterally, and 100m vertically near the previous hole TSO18-035, (see
map). Typically the Sam Otto zone consists of a wide shear zone (30-100m wide) and 1-2 g/t
gold mineralization associated with disseminated sulphides such as pyrite, pyrrhotite and trace of
arsenopyrite (Py-Po-Asp). The previous hole TSO18-035 contained significant quartz veins with
some visible gold that brought the average zone to above 2.0 g/t gold. All five holes from winter
2020 have intersected wide zones of shearing, alteration and sulphide mineralization, ranging up
to 160 metres wide with same mineralization style. The first three holes (53, 54 and 58) have all
intersected visible gold in quartz veins similar to the discovery hole TSO18-35 (see photo below).
In addition to the drilling on Sam Otto South, two holes have been completed in the ‘Sam Otto
Connector’ zone on line 4250N which is one kilometre north (see map). This area is between the
Sam Otto Main Zone and the Sam Otto South Zone. Previous mapping and surface sampling has
indicated a continuation of these zones to connect as one. Both holes have intersected alteration,
shearing and sulphide mineralization (Py, Po, Asp) over +/- 80 metre widths.
Drilling continues and TerraX is currently logging and sampling core. Initial assay results from the
first holes are expected in the coming weeks.

About TerraX
Through a series of acquisitions, TerraX owns a 100% interest in the Yellowknife City Gold
("YCG") Project, encompassing 790 sq km of contiguous land within 12 kilometres of the city of
Yellowknife. The Project is located in the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering 70
kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized break in proximity to the former high-grade
Con and Giant gold mines which have produced over 14 million ounces of gold. The YCG Project
is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers,
hydro-electric power and skilled tradespeople.
