Drilling Resumes at Gold Range, CANEX Provides Exploration Update

Drilling Resumes at Gold Range, CANEX Provides Exploration Update

Canex Metals Inc. (TSXV:CANX)(OTC PINK:NOMNF)(FRA:NJM1) ("CANEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that reverse circulation drilling has resumed at the Gold Range Project, Arizona, after a scheduled holiday break. The drill is set up at the Excelsior Zone where several new holes have been added to the program to delineate the mineralized zone encountered in hole GR21-57, which intersected 1.0 gt gold over 59.45 metres starting from surface and ending in mineralization (previously released see December 16, 2021 news release). Hole GR21-57 intersected the longest continuous zone of mineralization encountered at Gold Range to date and represents a compelling target for the Company

The ongoing drill program is anticipated to consist of around 50 holes and 5000 metres of drilling and could be expanded with continued success. To date 30 holes have been completed and sent for assay. Results for 4 holes have been released and assays for the remaining 26 holes are pending and will be released in batches as they are received and processed. The Company anticipates steady news flow through Q1 of 2022.

Over the holiday break, the Company was able to both redesign its ongoing program to follow up on the GR21-57 wide intersection, as well as secure additional drill pipe in order to test the system to greater depths. Systematic soil sampling data over the Excelsior-Malco-Eldorado corridor has been received and is being compiled to guide drill targeting over this large bulk tonnage target.

Dr. Shane Ebert, President of the Company stated, "We are excited to resume drilling at Gold Range and will initially focus on expanding the wide mineralized intercept encountered in hole GR21-57 with 8 or 9 additional holes. Hole GR21-57 was basically mineralized from top to bottom and the mineralized zone at Excelsior could be getting significantly wider toward the south, where the zone approaches a key structural intersection which conceptually is a great target for larger and/or higher-grade zones of mineralization. The southern projection of the zone is within a flat covered area that has not been systematically tested previously".

Gold Range Exploration Summary

Since assembling the Gold Range property as a grass roots exploration target, CANEX has conducted extensive surface mapping, flown a drone magnetic survey, collected 692 surface rock samples, 3078 surface soil samples, conducted positive bottle roll metallurgical test work, and drilled 6853 metres in 78 holes. Ongoing surface exploration is adding to the understanding of existing targets and continually identifying new ones which will be systematically advanced, prioritized and drill tested.

To date, multiple large gold exploration targets have been identified highlighted by the 3 kilometre long mineralized corridor stretching from the Eldorado to the Excelsior Zones. This mineralized corridor hosts structurally controlled high grade and bulk tonnage style gold mineralization and initial drill testing has returned multiple intercepts of oxide gold mineralization starting at surface.

Select previously released drill intercepts by zone include:

Excelsior

1.0 g/t Au over 59.5 metres

1.6 g/t Au over 35.1 metres

2.2 g/t Au over 24.4 metres

1.8 g/t Au over 19.8 metres

2.2 g/t Au over 18.3 metres

8.2 g/t Au over 4.6 metres

Eldorado

0.9 g/t Au over 27.4 metres

0.5 g/t Au over 24.5 metres

0.6 g/t Au over 22.9 metres

1.3 g/t Au over 21.3 metres

5.1 g/t Au over 4.6 metres

0.2 g/t Au over 164.6 metres

Malco

0.7 g/t Au over 16.8 metres

0.9 g/t Au over 10.7 metres

0.3 g/t Au over 62.5 metres

Pit and NW Pit

1.0 g/t Au over 9.1 metres

5.9 g/t Au over 4.6 metres

10.0 g/t Au over 1.5 metres

A drill hole location map summarizing key intercepts from the southern part of the Gold Range property and showing the current area of drilling focus is shown below.

Once expansion drilling is completed at the Excelsior zone, the drill will continue at the Eldorado and Malco zones, testing a large portion of the 3 kilometre long mineralized corridor from Eldorado to Excelsior. Additional targets in the northern part of the property are also scheduled for drill testing during the current program.

Quality Control

Reverse circulation drill cuttings were collected in numbered cloth sample bags from 5 foot (1.52m) intervals during drilling and were picked up from site and analyzed by Skyline Assayers and Laboratories in Tucson, Arizona (which is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited). A 1000g pulp was prepared and gold was assayed using a 50g fire assay with an atomic absorption finish (method FA-01-50g). Gold samples greater than 5 g/t are redone using a 50g fire assay method with a gravimetric finish (method FA-02 50g). Twenty-four additional elements were analyzed using a multi acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma (method TE-4). The Company included certified reference standards, blanks, and duplicates in every sample batch and then checked to ensure proper quality assurance and quality control prior to releasing the data. Reported drill hole intercepts are down hole intercepts and true widths have not been determined. Grades have not been capped in the averaging and some short weakly anomalous intervals have been included in some composites.

A Third Drill Program To Commence Shortly at the Gold Range Project, Arizona

Canex Metals Inc. ("CANEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its third reverse circulation drilling program is scheduled to start at the Gold Range Project, Arizona, in early August

The program will consist of around 50 drill holes and in excess of 3000 metres of drilling. The third phase of drilling will initially focus on expanding high grade near surface mineralization identified at the Excelsior Zone, which was tested in early 2021 and returned 1.6 g/t gold over 35.1 metres including 2.2 g/t gold over 24.4 metres (previously released see June 14, 2021 news release). The drill program will also look to expand mineralization at Eldorado and Malco, and test additional targets in the central and northern part of the project area.

White Gold Corp. Announces Significant Increase in Mineral Resources to 1,203,000 oz Gold Indicated and 1,116,600 oz Gold Inferred at the White Gold Project, Yukon, Canada

White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W ) (the "Company") is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for its flagship White Gold project located approximately 95 km south of Dawson City in west-central Yukon, Canada. The updated mineral resource includes a significant increase in total gold ounces, including a 18.5% increase in inferred resources and an 4.3% increase in indicated resources. The White Gold project now comprises 1,203,000 ounces of gold in the Indicated Resource category (17.7 million tonnes averaging 2.12 gt Au) and 1,116,600 ounces of gold in the Inferred Resource category (24.5 million tonnes averaging 1.42 gt Au) at US$2,000oz gold. The gold resources at the White Gold Project are near surface, almost entirely captured within an open pit, and remain open for expansion in multiple directions with additional opportunities to increase total resources via targets within close proximity. Additional increases to the size of the resource may also be possible through an ongoing analysis of the resource block model and by capturing additional ounces hosted within the Target for Further Exploration area which hosts an additional estimated 10 12 million tonnes grading between 1 2 gt Au. These results form part of the Company's work program supported by strategic partners including Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC).
