VANCOUVER - ZincX Resources Corp. ('ZincX Resources' or the 'Company') (TSXV: ZNX) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Simcoe Geosciences Ltd. ('Simcoe') to conduct a ground-based gravity survey over select targets on the Akie and Mt. Alcock Properties.

The program has commenced and its expected duration is approximately 10 - 14 days depending on progress and weather conditions.

The Company has engaged Simcoe Geosciences Ltd. of Stouffville, Ontario to conduct a ground-based gravity survey over select targets on the Akie and Mt. Alcock properties. The primary goal is to enhance and infill the existing airborne gravity data gathered previously over the linear corridor from Akie north to Mt Alcock with a specific focus on the surface expression of the Cardiac Creek deposit and the lightly drilled Zn-Pb-Ag rich barite cap at Mt. Alcock.

The survey will take advantage of the known density contrast between the barite rich Zn-Pb-Ag SEDEX style sulphide mineralisation and the black siliceous shale host rocks of the Gunsteel Formation. The Company has an extensive physical property database from Cardiac Creek drill core that has been used to test and design for geophysical surveys.

'We are excited to extend the field season in the Kechika trough with a maiden ground gravity program on the Cardiac Creek deposit and the main barite showing at Mt. Alcock,' commented Peeyush Varshney, the Company's President and CEO. 'With detailed new ground-based geophysical data to examine we should be well positioned leading into the 2022 field season with planned drill campaigns on the Akie and possibly the Mt. Alcock property.'

The program will consist of approximately 10.5 line-kilometres on two grids, one at Akie centered on the strike length of the Cardiac Creek deposit and one centered on the main barite zone at Mt. Alcock. Line spacing will be approximately 100 to 200 metres and gravity readings will be taken every 50 metres.

The Akie Grid will target the Cardiac Creek deposit covering the core of the deposit and its strike extents to the northwest and southeast. The grid will consist of ten 200-metre spaced lines with gravity stations every 50 metres for an approximate total of 6 line-kilometres with an average line length of 600 metres. Gravity readings will be collected every 25 metres directly over the surface trace of the deposit.

The Mt. Alcock Grid will target the large Zn-Pb-Ag rich barite showing that has been the focus of historical drilling. The survey grid will cover the showing as well as its strike extents to the northwest and southeast. The grid will consist of eight 100 to 200 metre spaced lines with gravity stations every 50 metres for an approximate total of 4.5 line-kilometres with an average line length of 560 metres. Line spacing directly over the barite showing will be 100 metres and increasing to 200 metres along the strike extents.

This survey will be the first modern ground based geophysical survey conducted on either the Akie or Mt. Alcock properties in over 30 years.

The data acquired during this ground-based gravity survey will be used in conjunction with a LiDAR survey that is being planned. The results will help define additional targets along the strike extents of the Cardiac Creek deposit that can be rapidly assessed against existing drilling and other datasets and immediately followed up with drilling during the 2022 exploration program. It is expected that the Mt. Alcock Grid will generate a positive gravity response from the barite rich showing and the results will delineate other high-priority exploration targets both down-dip and along strike of the showing. These targets will be assessed against the known drilling and other geochemical and geological datasets and prioritized for future exploration programs on the property.

Simcoe Geosciences Ltd. is a geophysical contractor specializing in geophysical surveys and consulting services to the exploration, environmental and engineering industries. Management has considerable industry related experience including ground gravity surveys. Simcoe will utilize state of the art equipment to acquire high quality data and will provide detailed data processing, and modeling using 2D modeling software to deliver a comprehensive interpretation report with targets identified.
