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.
