ALX Resources Corp. Completes Inaugural Drilling Program at Electra Nickel Project, Ontario

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2022) - ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the inaugural drilling program at its Electra Nickel Project located 35 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The Company has the right to earn a 100% interest in Electra according to the terms of an option agreement signed in December 2020 (see ALX news release dated December 31, 2020).

2022 Exploration Program

The 2022 exploration program began in mid-March 2022 with the opening of winter trails and mobilization of a diamond drill to the drill sites. The network of established forestry roads within Electra provided good access to the target areas and six of the eight planned holes were completed for a total of 1,155 metres drilled. Two targets remain undrilled because of warming weather conditions that exposed creeks and other wetlands, which impeded surface access.

Drill core logging indicates that the immiscible magmatic sulphide segregation process is present at Electra. Sulphide mineralization was intersected in all six holes, mainly pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite within mafic/ultramafic rocks, volcanic breccia and intermittent graphitic shale zones (see core photos below). Rare spherical concentrations of pyrite were observed in several zones in hole ELEC22-02 that suggest the hole could lie proximal to a volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") vent. Other alteration minerals were observed such as fuschite, and possible vaesite and violarite. A portable X-ray fluorescence ("XRF") device indicated the presence of nickel, copper and zinc in the drill core.

Downhole electromagnetic surveys were completed on two of the first four drill holes to better define the targeted conductors detected by ALX's 2021 airborne VTEM^TM survey flown by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario. A ground electromagnetic geophysical survey was carried out in the 2022 program on an undrilled target, which has provided an improved collar location for a follow-up drilling program. ALX's drilling permit is good until March 2025.

A total of 477 samples from the first four holes have been shipped to ALS Global Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Logging and sampling of the final two holes continues and an estimated 200 additional samples will be shipped in the coming weeks. The geoanalytical results obtained by XRF are not definitive and can vary from conventional analytical processing. The laboratory results will be released following their receipt, compilation and interpretation.
