ZincX Resources Files Statement of Exploration Costs To Maintain the Akie and Kechika Regional Mineral Tenure

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2022 / ZincX Resources Corp. ("ZincX" or the "Company")(TSXV:ZNX)(OTCQB:ZNCXF)(FRA:M9R) is pleased to provide a mineral claim status update for its Akie and Kechika Regional mineral claims. The 100% owned Akie property hosts the premier Zn-Pb-Ag Cardiac Creek deposit and the Kechika Regional claims cover the same highly prospective geology over a continuous strike length of up to 140 kilometres. There is a total of 230 mineral claims in good standing that comprise an area of 79,780 hectares (798 sq. km).

The Company has filed an annual Statement of Cost with the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation based on exploration expenditures incurred during the 2021 drill program. The filing has extended the entire contiguous claim package in good standing to September 13, 2030.

Peeyush Varshney, President and CEO commented, "We are pleased to extend the good-to status of our massive mineral claim block out to almost 10 years in the future. This coupled with the recently announced Akie drill permit extension will allow the Company to continue to explore the Akie and Kechika regional projects unimpeded well into the future with no carrying costs and no minimum expenditure commitment."

The Company is actively planning for the 2022 exploration season at the flagship Akie property.

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.

The Company updated the estimate of mineral resources at Cardiac Creek in 2018, as follows:
