ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to update its shareholders on the status of its mineral exploration programs, both planned and underway, in Saskatchewan and Ontario.
The Electra Nickel Project ("Electra") is located approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada in a fertile exploration district well-linked to highways, roads and trails, and near a powerline and the Canadian National Railroad. Electra consists of 190 cell units totaling approximately 4,066 hectares (10,047 acres) and is prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt, platinum group elements, and gold. ALX has the option to earn a 100% interest in Electra after fulfilling payment obligations of cash and common shares, and exploration expenditures (see ALX news release dated December 31, 2020.
In the fall of 2021, ALX developed new drill targets at Electra from the integration of the results of a 2021 VTEMTM airborne survey with a follow-up prospecting and geological mapping program. In November 2021, the Company applied for a drilling permit to the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (the "MNDM") for eight drill holes totaling approximately 1,750 metres (see map below). Geophysical programs consisting of downhole and ground electromagnetic surveys are also in application. Local First Nations and Metis communities have received ALX's 2022 drilling plan from the MNDM and the Company looks forward to successful engagement in February 2022 leading to its receipt of the exploration permit, which would allow the work to begin in March 2022.
