[{"type":"text","content":"Exploration Crews Mobilize to the Akie PropertyVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2021 / ZincX Resources Corp. (\"ZincX Resources\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:ZNX) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced on the Akie Project. The Company is now executing its planned 2,000 metre large-diameter HQ diamond drilling program that will focus on the Cardiac Creek deposit and build on the positive and robust results from the 2018 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).The drill holes will target the northwest, central and southeast areas of the Cardiac Creek deposit's high-grade core. This drilling will achieve two key objectives; the acquisition of additional mineralised material for metallurgical testing; and provide valuable infill information to be used in future assessments of the deposit. The drill program is expected to be complete by the end of July.The first hole of the program will target the northwest area of the high-grade core proximal to historical drill holes A-07-51, A-13-107, and A-17-132. These three historical holes all yielded high-grade results including 23.42 metres (TW) of 12.40% Zn+Pb and 15.1g/t Ag in hole A-07-51; and 28.67 metres (TW) of 10.38% Zn+Pb and 14.2g/t Ag in hole A-17-132. The hole is currently planned for a total depth of 640 metres.2021 Drilling ProgramThe 2021 drill program consists of three holes totalling approximately 2,000 metres of drilling with a primary objective of acquiring mineralized Zn-Pb-Ag drill core samples for advanced metallurgical testing. This material will be used to further investigate previous metallurgical testing of the mineralization with a focus on enhancing the recoveries and boosting concentrate grades for both zinc and lead; using state-of-the-art metallurgical testing facility owned by key strategic shareholder Tongling Non-Ferrous Metals of China (Tongling).Tongling had previously agreed to fully fund the drilling and metallurgical test program. ZincX Resources will manage the drill program on behalf of Tongling who will subsequently conduct the metallurgical test program at the conclusion of the 2021 exploration season. This test is intended to enhance metallurgical work conducted and reported by the Company in the 2018 PEA.Additional drill targets and or exploration activity will be contemplated as budget and time constraints allow.Peeyush Varshne...
