ALX Resources Corp. Begins Surface Exploration at the Electra Nickel Project, Ontario

ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a surface prospecting and geological mapping program at its 100%-owned Electra Nickel Project ("Electra", or the "Project") located within the Thunder Bay South Mining District of Ontario, Canada. Electra is prospective for nickel, copper, cobalt ("Ni-Cu-Co"), platinum group elements ("PGEs") and gold.

In May 2021, ALX completed an airborne electromagnetic ("EM") survey totaling 335.6 line-kilometres at Electra using the versatile time-domain electromagnetic ("VTEM^TM Plus") system. Subsequent processing of the VTEM^TM data showed strong conductive features in the northern and central parts of Electra where historical grab samples have returned up to 0.95% nickel in a showing hosted within komatiitic rocks. The komatiites are notable for exhibiting spinifex textures associated with the nickel mineralization.

The 2021 prospecting and geological mapping is the first phase of surface exploration planned for Electra. Conductors detected in the airborne survey were modelled and mapped as to their "surface trace" (see map below). Most of the conductors identified by the 2021 VTEM^TM survey were not detected by historical EM surveys, presumably due to a lack of depth penetration of previous systems. ALX's 2021 surface geological survey will assist in the selection of drill targets for a planned winter 2022 drill program.

About Electra

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 lies near a powerline and the Canadian National Railroad. In March 2021, ALX staked additional claims and expanded Electra to 190 cell units totaling approximately 4,066 hectares (10,047 acres).

The Project is situated within the western extension of the Abitibi-Wawa-Shebandowan subprovince of the Superior structural province of the Canadian Shield. A major structural feature known as the Thunder Lake Fault striking northeast-southwest through Electra is traced through the property using airborne magnetic geophysics, and is interpreted as a lithospheric scale fault. This type of deep-seated structure is a requisite for the emplacement of mineralization from a magmatic source. The presence of komatiitic ultramafic rocks with spinifex textures, with up to approximately 1% nickel from surface samples is reminiscent of the mineralization styles found in the Kambalda District of Australia, and the Raglan district of Quebec. A review by ALX of public domain gravity data shows a strong gravity high anomaly underlying Electra that extends for approximately 35 kilometres northwest to the past-producing Shebandowan Nickel Mine. The Shebandowan Nickel Mine was operated by Inco Ltd. from 1972 until 1998, and produced 9.29 million tons grading 1.75% nickel, 0.88% copper, 0.063% cobalt and 1.85 grams/tonne PGEs.¹

Historical exploration at Electra since the 1960s consisted of prospecting, soil sampling, trenching, limited geophysical surveys and drilling, intermittently searching for either nickel and/or gold mineralization. A 1995 drilling program by Winslow Gold Corp. intersected multiple zones of Ni-Cu-Co and zinc mineralization, including 16.6 metres of 0.15% nickel. At the Kwiatkowski Zone showing, ground prospecting located komatiitic rocks that returned values of up to 9,482 parts per million ("ppm") nickel. Follow-up trenching and channel sampling of the komatiites by Linear Metals Corporation in 2008 returned a maximum value of 6,675 ppm (0.68%) nickel over 3.7 metres.

Forward-looking statements in this news release include: the Electra Nickel Project ("Electra") is prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt, PGE and gold mineralization; the Company's plans to undertake exploration activities at Electra, and expend funds on Electra. It is important to note that the Company's actual business outcomes and exploration results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include that ALX may not be able to fully finance exploration at Electra, including drilling; our initial findings at Electra may prove to be unworthy of further expenditure; commodity prices may not support exploration expenditures at Electra; and economic, competitive, governmental, societal, public health, environmental and technological factors may affect the Company's operations, markets, products and share price. Even if we explore and develop Electra, and even if nickel-copper-cobalt, PGEs and gold or other metals or minerals are discovered in quantity, the project may not be commercially viable.
