VANCOUVER - ZincX Resources Corp. ('ZincX Resources' or the 'Company') (TSXV: ZNX) is pleased to announce that the high-resolution airborne LiDAR survey flown over the Akie and Mt. Alcock Properties has been completed by Eagle Mapping Ltd. (Eagle) of Langley, British Columbia.

Eagle is now processing the digital data and will provide the Company with a high-resolution 0.5m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and digital surface model (DSM), a bare earth point dataset, and a fully detailed topographical dataset including contours for use in future exploration and engineering design programs.

The data acquired during this airborne survey will be used in conjunction with a proposed ground Gravity program over the Cardiac Creek deposit on the Akie property and over the Zn-Pb-Ag rich barite showing present on the Mt. Alcock property located approximately 40 kilometres to the northwest of the Akie Property. The data will also be a valued source of information for any future engineering designs and for surface infrastructure plans related to the development of the Cardiac Creek deposit as outlined in the Company's 2018 preliminary Economic Assessment.

The survey used a fully integrated long-range airborne laser scanner that is integrated with an Applanix POS AV610 accurate GPS system. The two properties were flown in grid pattern along a series of parallel lines while maintaining vertical and horizonal accuracies. The survey area of the Akie property consists of 97.6 km2 and the Mt. Alcock property consists of 91.2 km2.

The Company is expecting the final delivery of the report and processed data in mid to late 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 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.

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 which the Company maintains a significant 49% interest with partners Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.B) and Korea Zinc Co. Ltd holding 51%. 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.
