StrategX Advances Energy Transition Metals Discovery at Depth Extending over 2km at Nagvaak and Appoints VP of Exploration

StrategX Advances Energy Transition Metals Discovery at Depth Extending over 2km at Nagvaak and Appoints VP of Exploration

StrategX Elements Corp. (CSE: STGX) ("StrategX" or the "Company"), is excited to announce core assay results for drill holes #1 and #2 previously drilled by BHP in Target Area 4 at its Nagvaak property on the Melville Peninsula, Nunavut. The results indicate the presence of continuous intervals of polymetallic mineralization, confirming significant width and depth potential for the mineralized zones. The drill intervals include a 35.7-metre zone in hole #1 and a 38.4-metre zone in hole #2 with significant concentrations of nickel, vanadium oxide, copper, molybdenum, zinc, silver, and platinum group elements + gold. This is in line with hole #14 located 2.3 km to the west which returned 58 metres of 2.63% copper equivalent (see news release December 7, 2022). These results further support the 6 km-long mineralized corridor identified on the surface and lay the foundation for the next phase of exploration, aimed at drilling a potentially large resource of energy transition metals. In addition, metallurgical studies will be conducted to evaluate the potential recovery of key metals in order to confirm the metal equivalency values of the mineralized zones - targeting nickel equivalent greater than 1% or copper equivalent greater than 2%. This represents a major step forward in StrategX's mission to be at the forefront of the energy transition by continuing to unlock the potential of its Nagvaak property.

Exploration Highlights

The drill core assay results, presented in Tables 1 and 2, for the 35.7-metre interval in hole #1 include 0.29% nickel, 0.36% vanadium pentoxide, 0.15% copper, 0.04% molybdenum, 0.73% zinc, 8.26 g/t silver, and 0.13 g/t platinum group elements plus gold and for the 38.4-metre interval in hole #2 include 0.21% nickel, 0.37% vanadium pentoxide, 0.12% copper, 0.04% molybdenum, 0.69% zinc, 6.12 g/t silver, and 0.11 g/t platinum group elements plus gold. Figure 1 provides a visual representation of the Target Areas and location of the drill holes, as well as illustrates the magnitude of this exciting discovery. Additional noteworthy highlights include the following:

  • Nickel grades increase at depth from 79.5m to 86.5m in drill hole #1 reporting 0.5% nickel over 7 metres and ending in strong mineralization.
  • Vanadium mineralization zones occur over wide intervals having high values >0.3% V2O5.
  • Potential for additional mineralized zones in drill holes #1 and 2 to return anomalous values in energy metals - pending assays.
  • Geophysical anomalies coincide well with the mineralization and will guide the drilling to expand targets (Figure 2 shows a 3D-visual of the mineralization in holes #1 and #2 and correlates well with the magnetic and conductivity anomalies at depth).
  • Proposed drill holes are planned to significantly expand the mineralized zones discovered in Target Areas 1 and 4.

Target Area 4 - Section L8400

StrategX is exploring a target characterized by a 200-metre-wide conductive zone exhibiting gravity and magnetic anomalies. This zone extends for over a kilometre from east to west, with the surface rock exposure as gossanous sub-crop resembling those found in Target Area 1- being graphitic shale and calc-silicates. Although there is significant overburden separating the gossans in both Target Areas 1 and 4, the geophysical conductor and magnetic highs remain continuous for over 2.5 kilometres. The four drill holes previously completed by BHP along section 8400 have yielded similar results as observed in Target Area 1, revealing brecciated graphitic shale with massive sulphides filling fractures and unfractured calc-silicates with sporadic blebs of mineralization. StrategX plans to drill additional holes to potentially extend the mineralization observed in the BHP holes, both to the east and west of section L8400 and at deeper depths. Proposed holes #4 and #5 are designed to target very strong conductive and magnetic anomalies below the gossan zones highly anomalous in nickel and vanadium oxide discovered by surface sampling. These holes could potentially expand the mineralization by more than 400 metres to the west. The proposed holes can be viewed on the plan map and sections in Figures 3, 4 and 5.

The Nagvaak property, consisting of Target Areas 1 and 4, has the potential to host a large tonnage polymetallic deposit close to the surface with grades greater than 1% NiEq or 2% CuEq, and including high-grade vanadium pentoxide >0.5%.
