ALX Resources Corp. Acquires Blackbird Project in Northern Saskatchewan

Vancouver, June 25, 2024 - ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Blackbird Project ("Blackbird", or the "Project") in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Blackbird consists of twelve mineral claims staked in June 2024 on behalf of the Company, giving the Project a total area of approximately 11,628 hectares (28,733 acres). Blackbird is located approximately 70 kilometres (47 miles) north of LaRonge, Saskatchewan in a newly-emerging metallogenic district south of the historic Rottenstone Mine, which produced nickel, copper, gold and platinum group metals ("PGMs") from 1965 to 1969.

ALX made the decision to acquire the Blackbird claims following the announcement on June 17, 2024 by Ramp Metals Inc. ("Ramp Metals") of a high-grade gold discovery in drill hole Ranger-1, in which Ramp Metals reported an intersection of 73.55 grams/tonne ("g/t") gold over 7.5 metres from 227 to 234.5 metres (Figure 1). Ramp Metals is a Canadian nickel-copper explorer that recently completed a four-hole drill program on its Rottenstone SW property in early 2024. Hole Ranger-1 targeted an airborne geophysical conductor situated near the discovery site of gold-bearing, angular boulders and ultramafic outcrop found by Ramp Metals in late 2023 (Source: Ramp Metals Inc., News Release, June 17, 2024).

"A discovery of gold mineralization at depth in a district historically known for base metals and PGMs is another example of the exploration opportunities that exist in Saskatchewan," said Warren Stanyer, CEO and Chairman of ALX. "A modern airborne electromagnetic survey detected a geophysical conductor at depth that was unknown to previous explorers and it was found to be mineralized. This emerging gold discovery by Ramp Metals creates significant mineral potential for an area of Saskatchewan that was largely ignored by exploration companies and validates the application of modern exploration methods in a greenfield terrain."

ALX's research reveals that the Blackbird property is located in the Rottenstone Domain covering a northeast-southwest high magnetic trend that lies parallel to the magnetic setting of the Rottenstone Mine and the Ramp Metals 2024 discovery hole. The Project area has not been the subject of an airborne survey since 1968, when the joint venture of Canadian Pacific Oil & Gas Limited and Gunnex Limited flew a regional radiometric survey for uranium exploration. No radioactive anomalies were detected within the survey area over what is now Blackbird and as a result, the Project area did not receive any ground follow-up exploration.

ALX plans to utilize remote sensing techniques as a first-pass exploration program at Blackbird to generate target areas where alteration minerals may be present. The Project was strategically staked to a width that will allow effective airborne electromagnetic surveying with the goal of locating geophysical conductors that were not detectable by historical explorers. ALX is applying for an exploration permit to allow airborne and ground geophysical surveying, and a reconnaissance program of ground prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical sampling (soil and lake sediments) in the summer/fall of 2024.

About the Rottenstone Mine

"Rottenstone" is the original description by local First Nations of a 30-foot (9.1 metre) outcrop on the southeast shore of Rottenstone Lake, approximately 130 kilometres northeast of La Ronge, SK. First Nations members brought this outcrop to the attention of traders, and the area was later staked as the Hall showing. The Hall showing later became the Hall deposit and eventually the Rottenstone Mine, which operated from 1965 through 1969. The deposit was mined by open pit and 28,724 tons were recovered, averaging 3.28% Nickel, 1.83% Copper, 4.70 g/t Platinum, 3.90 g/t Palladium, and 1.03 g/t Gold (9.63 g/t Platinum, Palladium + Gold) (Fraser, 2000). The area comprising the Rottenstone Mine is currently held by Fathom Nickel Inc. (Figure 1).
