ZincX Resources Mobilizes Exploration Crew to the Akie Property
to Commence the 2018 Exploration Program
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Monday, June 25, 2018 – ZincX Resources Corp. (“ZincX
Resources” or “the Company”, TSX Venture Exchange: ZNX) is pleased to announce that field crews
have mobilized to the Akie property to commence the 2018 diamond drilling program on its 100% owned
Akie Project. The Company earlier reported a plan to conduct a 2,500 metre diamond drill program that will
focus on targets along strike of the Cardiac Creek deposit; and on separate high priority targets on t he
eastern Akie Gunsteel panel.
2018 Exploration Plan Highlights:
• Drill test the southeastern strike extent of the C ardiac Creek deposit beyond the current limits of
the resource model
• Drill test the North Lead target by drilling down- dip where previous drilling intersected extensive
intervals of bedded pyrite mineralisation that are highly anomalous in zinc and lead and a thin
massive sulphide lens; drill targeting to be guided by new facies model developed at Akie and Mt.
Alcock
• Shallow drill targets at the Sitka showing to test the Zn-Pb-barite mineralization outcropping at
surface and previously channel sampled in 2013 with high grade assay results
• Expand upon the 2017 satellite based structural s tudy completed from Akie to Mt. Alcock; by
extending from the Kwad property to the north end o f the Kechika Regional claims, amounting to
100% coverage of all of the Akie and Kechika Regional claim holdings
• Continue to evaluate forward modelling and Proof o f Concept designs for ground geophysical
surveys to “fingerprint” known SEDEX mineralization, including the Cardiac Creek deposit, to assist
in vectoring future ground surveys in Gunsteel Formation
The diamond drill program is expected to start shortly and continue through to September.
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 (f ormerly Canada Zinc Metals Corp) 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.
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.
