VANCOUVER - ZincX Resources Corp. ('ZincX Resources' or the 'Company') (TSXV: ZNX) is pleased to announce that assay results have been received from the first hole of the 2021 diamond drilling program targeting the Cardiac Creek deposit.

The Company recently completed a large-diameter HQ diamond drill program that focused on the Cardiac Creek deposit. A total of 5 drill holes were drilled on the Cardiac Creek deposit for a total of 2,669 metres. All five holes successfully tested the Cardiac Creek Zone with excellent recovery of thick intervals of sphalerite-galena-barite mineralization; including highly mottled textures which generally indicate greater than average zinc grades. Over 500 HQ drill core samples have been submitted for analysis and results have now been received from drill hole A-21-155.

2021 Akie Drill Result Highlights

Drill hole A-21-155 returned 6.20% Zn+Pb and 9.6 g/t Ag over a true width of 32.76 metres including 10.77% Zn+Pb and 14.5 g/t Ag over a true width of 5.99 metres

Drill hole A-19-155 targeted the northwest area of the high-grade core proximal to historical drill holes A-07-51, A-13-107, and A-17-132.

A broad envelope of mineralisation was intersected from 549.37 to 602.24 metres representing a true width of 39.67 metres that returned 5.3% Zn+Pb and 8.5 g/t Ag. Within this envelope the Cardiac Creek Zone is present from 558.56 to 602.24 metres, grading 6.20% Zn+Pb and 15.5 g/t Ag over a true width of 32.76 metres. Higher-grade intervals are present including 10.77% Zn+Pb and 14.5 g/t Ag over a true width of5.99 metres from 569.67 to 577.66 metres. The Footwall Zone was intersected below the Cardiac Creek Zone from 593.45 to 577.66 metres and returned 9.0% Zn+Pb and 12.3 g/t Ag over a true width of 6.59 metres.

The Cardiac Creek Zone is characterized by thick beds of sulphides comprised of laminar pyrite and banded sphalerite. Locally the sphalerite bands display a well-developed 'mottled' texture that is due to an enrichment in sphalerite with interstitial carbonate and quartz with galena. The sulphides are interbedded with the host black carbonaceous, siliceous shales of the Gunsteel Formation.

The Footwall Zone is characterized by a similar style of mineralisation to the Cardiac Creek Zone. A massive sulphide lens was encountered below the Footwall Zone that is enriched in pyrite, sphalerite and galena. The calcareous siltstones of the Silurian Siltstone were encountered at a depth of 608.64 metres. The siltstone displays patches of alteration and sulphides characterised by localized silicification, pyrite and sphalerite rich sulphide stringers. The drill hole was terminated in Silurian siltstone of the Road River Group at a depth 641.93 metres. A total of 147 samples including standard QA/QC samples were collected from this drill hole and submitted for analysis.
