ALX Resources Corp. Contracts Airborne Survey for 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 contracted an airborne electromagnetic survey for the Electra Nickel Project ("Electra", or the "Project") located in Shebandowan Greenstone Belt within the Thunder Bay South Mining District of Ontario, Canada. Electra is prospective for nickel, copper and cobalt ("Ni-Cu-Co"), platinum group elements ("PGEs") and gold mineralization. In March 2021, ALX staked additional claims and expanded Electra to 190 cell units totaling approximately 4,066 hectares (10,047 acres).

ALX has contracted Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario, Canada to carry out the helicopter-borne survey of approximately 311 line kilometres utilizing its vertical time-domain electromagnetic ("VTEM^TM Plus") system. The VTEM^TM Plus system offers the exploration industry's highest resolution, signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution of conductors, with unparalleled depth of penetration and accuracy. The VTEM^TM survey is anticipated to begin in April 2021.

"ALX is pleased to be the first exploration company to map Electra with modern, property-wide geophysics," said Warren Stanyer, ALX's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. "Historical exploration could only detect and drill test shallow conductors with the technology of the day. We look forward to ground prospecting and geological mapping at Electra in the summer of 2021 following our receipt and interpretation of the survey results."

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.

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 grading up to approximately 1.0% nickel in surface sampling is reminiscent of the mineralization styles found in the Kambalda District of Australia, and the Raglan district of Quebec. The Shebandowan Mine, located approximately 35 kilometres to the northwest of Electra 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 and limited geophysical and drilling programs, intermittently searching for nickel and 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. The komatiites hosting the showing are notable for exhibiting spinifex textures associated with the nickel mineralization. Follow-up trenching and channel sampling of the komatiites by Linear Metals Corporation in 2008 returned a maximum value of 6,675 ppm nickel over 3.7 metres.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this document which are not purely historical are forward looking statements, including any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. 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. Additional risk factors are discussed in the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020, which is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
