ZincX Resources Closes Non-Brokered Flow-Through Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Thursday, December 19, 2019 – ZincX Resources Corp. (“ZincX
Resources” or “the Company”, TSX Venture Exchange: ZNX) is pleased to announce that the Company
has received final TSX Venture Exchange acceptance for its non-brokered private placement of 1,016,666
flow-through common shares of the Company at a price of $0.15 per flow-through common share to raise
gross proceeds of $152,500.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the flow through shares to finance exploration of
the Company’s Akie and Kechika Reginal projects in British Columbia.
The Company paid $7,625 as finder’s fees.
All securities issued will be subject to a four-month hold period.
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 world 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 Creek deposit. The deposit is hosted by siliceous,
carbonaceous, fine grained clastic rocks of the Middle to Late Devonian Gunsteel Formation.
The Company updated the estimate of mineral resources for the Cardiac Creek deposit in late 2017
based on additional drilling completed in 2017, 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
The Company announced robust positive results from the 2018 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). The
PEA envisages a conventional underground mine and concentrator operation with an average production rate
of 4,000 tonnes per day. The mine will have an 18-year life with potential to extend the life-of-mine (LOM)
through resource expansion at depth. Key parameters for the PEA are as follows:
Parameter Base Case1
Tonnes Mined 25.8 Mt
Mined Head Grades 7.6% Zn; 1.5% Pb; 13.08 g/t Ag
Tonnes Milled 19.7 Mt
Milled Head Grades (after DMS2 upgrade) 10.0% Zn; 1.9% Pb; 17.17 g/t Ag
Total Payable Metal (LOM) $3,960M3
Initial CAPEX $302.3M including $45.7M contingency
LOM Total CAPEX $617.9M including $58.5M contingency
All-in Total OPEX $102.4 per tonne milled
Pre-Tax NPV7% $649M
Pre-Tax IRR 35%
Pre-Tax Payback 2.6 years
After-Tax NPV7% $401M
After-Tax IRR 27%
After-Tax Payback 3.2 years
1. The base case used metal prices are calculated from the 3 year trailing average coupled with two year forward projection of the average
price; and are: US$1.21/lb for zinc, US$1.00/lb for lead and US$16.95 for silver. A CDN$/US$ exchange rate of 0.77 was used. The NPV
discount rate is 7%. 2. DMS = dense media separation. 3. All dollar amounts expressed in Canadian dollars.
The PEA is considered preliminary in nature and includes mineral resources, including inferred mineral resources that are considered too
speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral
reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have not yet demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty that may
be attached to mineral resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of a mineral resource will be upgraded to mineral reserves.
Therefore, there is no certainty that the results concluded in the PEA will be realized.
Kechika Regional Project
In addition to the Akie Project, the Company owns 100% of eight of eleven large, contiguous property blocks
that comprise the Kechika Regional Project including the advanced Mt. Alcock prospect. The Kechika Regional
Project also includes the Pie, Yuen and Cirque 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 northwest 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.
