• Complete re-branding and name change from Canada Z inc Metals Corp. to ZincX Resources

Corp., a name which better reflects the new corpora te identity and the development of its zinc

focused projects.

• Shares will commence trading on the TSX Venture Ex change under the new name as of market

underway and anticipated to be complete by the end of May, 2018.

• The Company plans to move forward on additional en gineering assessments and permitting toward

future mine development.

• Planning is well underway for a drill program on s elect targets on the Akie property which will

include some infill holes on the Cardiac Creek zone , and testing coincident geological targets on

targets outbound of the deposit, including the Sitk a showing situated on the eastern thrust panel

east of the Cardiac Creek deposit. The Sitka showi ng was discovered in 2013 consisting of a 6

metre thick vein or fault structure that is host to massive barite containing abundant coarse-grained

galena and sphalerite. A secondary parallel structu re is located 10 metres to the northeast and

measures approximately 3.0 metres wide. Channel sam ples from 2013 included assays ranging

from 1.9% to 5.1% Zn and Pb assays returned values up to 3.7%.

• The Company is considering commencing the planned underground drill definition program for the

Cardiac Creek deposit. The project is fully permitt ed and all final designs are complete. The

Company announced in December 2017 that the underground exploration permit was extended to

2020.

• In consultation with Teck Resources and their JV p artner, Korea Zinc, the Company will consider

plans and budget for follow-up exploration on the P ie Option properties located north of Akie and

adjacent to the Teck Resources/Korea Zinc jointly owned Cirque project.

The Akie Zn-Pb-Ag Project

The 100% owned Akie property is situated within the Kechika Trough, the southernmost area of the

regionally extensive Paleozoic Selwyn Basin and one of the most prolific sedimentary basins in the wor ld

for the occurrence of SEDEX zinc-lead-silver and stratiform barite deposits.

Drilling on the Akie property by ZincX Resources since 2005 has identified a significant body of baritic-zinc-

lead SEDEX mineralization known as the Cardiac Cree k deposit. The deposit is hosted by siliceous,

carbonaceous, fine grained clastic rocks of the Middle to Late Devonian Gunsteel Formation.

With additional drilling completed in 2017, the Com pany has updated the estimate of mineral

resources at Cardiac Creek, as follows:

5% Zinc Cut-Off Grade Contained Metal:

Category Tonnes

(million) Zn (%) Pb (%) Ag (g/t) Zn (B lbs) Pb (B lbs) Ag (M oz)

Indicated 22.7 8.32 1.61 14.1 4.162 0.804 10.3

Inferred 7.5 7.04 1.24 12.0 1.169 0.205 2.9

In addition to the Akie Project, the Company owns 100% of eight of eleven large, contiguous property blocks

that comprise the Kechika Regional Project includin g the advanced Mt. Alcock prospect. The Kechika

Regional Project also includes the Pie, Yuen and Ci rque East properties within which the Company

maintains a significant 49% interest with partners Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.B) and Korea Zinc

Co. Ltd. These properties collectively extend north west from the Akie property for approximately 140

kilometres covering the highly prospective Gunsteel Formation shale; the main host rock for known SEDEX

zinc-lead-silver deposits in the Kechika Trough of northeastern British Columbia. These projects are located

approximately 260 kilometres north northwest of the town of Mackenzie, British Columbia, Canada.
