ZincX Resources Corp. announced that it has initiated shipment of samples, collected from the 2021 diamond drilling program, to China as part of the metallurgical testing to be conducted by Tongling Non-Ferrous Metals of China (Tongling). The Company completed a large-diameter HQ diamond drill program in 2021 consisting of five holes totaling 2,669 metres with the objective of acquiring mineralized drill core samples for advanced metallurgical testing.

The holes targeted specific areas of the Cardiac Creek deposit along the northwest, down-dip, and southeast boundaries of the high-grade core. These targets were selected in order to provide variability of the deposit across its strike and width. All five holes successfully tested the Cardiac Creek Zone with excellent recovery of thick intervals of sphalerite-galena-barite mineralization and over 500 HQ drill core samples were submitted and analyzed.

A total of six individual metallurgical samples were selected, two from hole A-21-156B and one from each of the remaining drill holes. Individual samples averaged 228 kilograms and the total combined weight is in excess of 1,350 kilograms. These samples will be used to continue to investigate the metallurgical response of the mineralization with a focus on enhancing recoveries and boosting concentrate grades for both zinc and lead. The samples are being shipped from Vancouver by air freight to the Hunan Research Institute for Non- Ferrous Metals Co.

Ltd., the metallurgical laboratory located in Changsha, China. The lab will conduct the metallurgical testing on behalf of Tongling. It is anticipated that the shipment will be delivered shortly after the Chinese New Year in early February and testing should commence shortly thereafter.

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.
