    ALX Uranium Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company) (TSXV: AL; FSE: 6LLN; OTC: ALXEF) is pleased to announce that a deep-penetrating induced polarization/resistivity (“IP/resistivity”) survey has commenced at its Newnham Lake uranium property (“Newnham Lake”, or the “Property”) located in the northeastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, approximately 75 km east of Stony Rapids.

    ALX Uranium Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company) (TSXV: AL; FSE: 6LLN; OTC: ALXEF)
    is pleased to announce that a deep-penetrating induced polarization/resistivity (“IP/resistivity”) survey has commenced at its Newnham Lake uranium property (“Newnham Lake”, or the “Property”) located in the northeastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, approximately 75 km east of Stony Rapids.
    ALX has an option to earn a 100% interest in Newnham Lake through a series of three separate land acquisition agreements signed in 2014. The Property consists of eight contiguous claims totaling 11,737 ha (29,004 acres) and possesses a strong legacy of historical exploration data. Beginning in the late 1970s, a 15 kilometre-long conductive corridor of shallow targets (less than 100 metres to the unconformity) in the northern portion of Newnham Lake was explored extensively for unconformity-type uranium deposits, prior to the recognition in recent years of a deeper, basement-hosted, uranium deposit model.
    Historical drilling identified encouraging amounts of uranium mineralization at the unconformity, yet due to the convention of the era and the focus on unconformity-hosted targets, most drill holes were less than 100 metres in length and continued a maximum of about 30 metres past the unconformity. By example, 1979 hole BL-66 intersected 1,656 parts per million (ppm) uranium over 0.20 metres in a section containing visible grains of pitchblende, a uranium mineral commonly found associated with Athabasca Basin uranium deposits. This intersection began just below the unconformity at a depth of 86.7 metres, but the hole only tested the basement rocks to a depth 26.7 metres below the unconformity and was terminated in graphitic basement rocks at a vertical depth of 113.4 metres. Similar encouraging uranium intersections by previous operators resulted in the completion of over 150 holes in the most promising areas of the property, focused almost entirely on unconformity-hosted targets. Given the historical results, ALX believes the best targets at Newnham Lake may be deeper, within the basement rocks, as evidenced by more recent basement-hosted uranium discoveries around the Athabasca Basin.
    “ALX is using leading-edge technology at Newnham Lake to define drill targets that were not contemplated even a decade ago,” said Sierd Eriks, President and CEO of the Company. “We are testing new ideas where the integration of historical results with our current work has provided us the confidence to explore for structurally controlled, basement-hosted uranium deposits.”
    The 2017 ground IP/resistivity survey consists of 92.5 line-kilometres across the most prospective areas outlined by previous work at a cost of approximately $500,000. The survey method is capable of imaging conductive/resistive horizons to approximately 700 metres depth. Following the receipt and interpretation of the 2017 geophysical survey, ALX plans to drill at least 3,000 metres in up to five drill holes in a helicopter-supported drilling program during the summer of 2017. The highest priority target areas would combine interpreted alteration zones near conductive horizons located at the intersections of crosscutting faults, thus testing compelling drill targets at depths up to 600 metres or more – over 300 metres beyond the deepest hole ever drilled at Newnham Lake.
    NI 43-101 Disclosure
    The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Sierd Eriks, P.Geo., President and CEO, who is a Qualified Person, in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101.
    About the Newnham Lake 2016-2017 Exploration Program
    Beginning in November 2016, ALX commissioned interpretations of airborne geophysical data from VTEM, ZTEM, and gravity surveys carried out by previous operators. The new geophysical interpretations have indicated that Newnham Lake has the potential to host uranium mineralization in a deeper, basement-hosted system, rather than the shallower, unconformity-hosted model that was historically pursued. A 3-D model incorporating the available layers of geological, geophysical and geochemical data has been created by ALX, allowing the complete integration of previous drilling with historical and current geophysical results.
    The VTEM survey system used at Newnham Lake has successfully imaged conductors to approximately 300 metres depth and ALX’s recent experience with modelling ZTEM data collected at the Property has detected conductive/resistive horizons to depths up to 1,000 metres, or more. Improvements in data modeling techniques since those surveys were flown have allowed for a more detailed view of conductivity/resistivity relationships in the basement rocks and have assisted in the recognition of alteration zones around electromagnetic conductors, which can be used as a vector for locating uranium mineralization.

    Key Project

    Yath Project - Nunavut, Canada

    The Yath Project is Generation Uranium’s flagship project. This 100 percent owned property covers about 120 square kilometers within the underexplored Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada. The project is located where the Yathkyed and Angikuni sub-basins meet, which is a region known globally for high-grade uranium potential. It sits directly along the same trend as the Angilak Project owned by ATHA Energy (TSXV:SASK, OTCQB:SASFK, FWB:XSU.F), which contains the Lac 50 deposit, one of the highest-grade uranium resources found outside of the Athabasca Basin with a historical mineral resource estimate of 43.3M lbs at an average grade of 0.69 percent U3O8.

    Generation Uranium Yath Project

    The Yath Project is contiguous to the Lac 50 trend and is crossed by several regional faults and basin boundaries. Past exploration work has already identified high priority targets, while surface sampling in the area has produced uranium grades from boulders, with some testing at 9.81 percent, 3.95 percent, and 2.14 percent U3O8.

    The company has commenced its initial field program at the site, set to define and rank drill targets. Historic showings will be combined with new anomalies from the MMT geophysics survey, preparing the project for an anticipated drill permit.
