ZincX Resources Begins 2018 Drilling at Akie Project

ZincX Resources (TSXV:ZNX) announced that it has started drilling at its Akie zinc project. The program is a planned 2,500 meters of large-diameter HQ diamond drilling that will focus on high-priority targets along strike of the Cardiac Creek deposit and the Eastern Akie Gunsteel panel.

The objectives of the program are as follows:

• Drill test the southeastern strike extent of the Cardiac Creek deposit beyond the current limits of the resource model.
• Drill test the down-dip extent of the North Lead target where previous drilling intersected extensive intervals of bedded pyrite mineralisation and a thin massive sulphide lens that are highly anomalous in zinc and lead.  The drill targeting is guided by a new facies model developed from the mineralisation on Akie and Mt. Alcock properties.
• Shallow drill targets at the Sitka showing to test the Zn-Pb-barite mineralization outcropping at surface where previous channel sampling in 2013 returned high grade assay results.
