(“ZincX Resources” or “the Company”, (TSXV:ZNX) is pleased to advise the 2019 Akie Drill program has been completed and all exploration crew are in the process of demobilization for the season.The Company previously announced a 2,500 metre large-diameter HQ diamond drilling program to focus on the Cardiac Creek deposit and build on the positive and robust results from the 2018 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).2019 Akie Drill Program Highlights4 large-diameter HQ drill holes competed for a total meterage of 2,347 metres All holes were drilled successfully to their intended depthAll holes successfully tested the Cardiac Creek Zone with excellent recovery of thick intervals of sphalerite-galena-barite mineralization; including highly mottled textures which at Cardiac Creek indicate higher than typical zinc gradesOver 480 HQ drill core samples submitted for analysis with results expected in late summer to early fall 2019 Exploration ProgramDrill ObjectivesThe 2019 exploration program has focused on the central high-grade core of the deposit targeting the initial five years of future mine production identified in the PEA. The program was designed to:Provide additional close-spaced drill intercepts to increase confidence in the current resource modelExtend the high-grade core of the deposit further to the southeastThe 2019 drilling program was also intended to collect key technical data including: The collection of geotechnical and geomechanical data to improve the understanding of the rock mass characteristics of the deposit and provide advanced engineering data for future underground mine designThe ongoing collection of structural data to assess ground support requirements and provide input data for stope dimensions Cardiac Creek DepositThe Company previously reported on the first two holes of the program. This update provides a brief description of the final 2 holes: DDH A-19-153 and A-19-154.Drill Hole A-19-153 targeted the upper portion of the high-grade core of the deposit in an area up-dip of hole A-17-137 which was drilled and reported in 2017, and intersected a phenomenal intercept of 57.79 metres (true width) grading 11.79% Zn+Pb and 19.1 g/t Ag; including a high-grade core in...
