ALX Uranium Corp. Samples up to 23.9 Grams/Tonne Gold at Vixen Gold Project

12.12.2019  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, December 12, 2019 - ALX Uranium Corp. ("ALX" or the "Company") (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) is pleased to announce reconnaissance sampling results from an October 2019 site visit to its 100%-owned Vixen Gold Project ("Vixen" or the "Project") located in the Red Lake Mining District of Ontario, Canada. Vixen consists of three sub-projects totaling 10,069 hectares (24,880 acres) staked within the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt and is located approximately 60 kilometres (37 miles) east of Red Lake, Ontario.

2019 Sampling Results

A total of 78 rock samples were collected within the Vixen North property from six locations that were chosen following ALX's review of historical exploration data. Crews were transported daily by helicopter to the sites where historical trenches and reported mineral occurrences were located. Both mineralized and unmineralized samples were collected to obtain geochemical signatures at each of the target areas. Four rock samples returned significant values of gold with anomalous silver, including a sample comprised of 80% quartz veins/flooding with 20% host metabasalt that returned 23.9 grams/tonne (0.765 oz/ton) gold. Rock samples that returned assay values of over 1.0 grams/tonne gold are shown in the table below. The brief five-day program successfully confirmed many of the historical gold prospects at Vixen North, and additional work is recommended.

A total of 149 soil samples were collected for processing by the Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon ("SGH") method, which has reportedly detected gold and other minerals in overburden covered areas. The results from the SGH survey are pending and will be released after their receipt, compilation and interpretation.

ALX Exploration Plans at Vixen

ALX has initiated a geophysical study from historical digital airborne data, accessed through Condor Consulting, Inc. of Lakewood, Colorado ("Condor Consulting"). Condor Consulting are recognized experts in the field of airborne electromagnetics and have been retained by ALX to perform an interpretation of historical airborne data collected in the 1990s, before modern computer modeling techniques were available to explorers. ALX intends to integrate the geochemical results of its October 2019 site visit with all available geological and geophysical data in order to prioritize target areas that demonstrate faulting and possible geological contacts that are interpreted to act as conduits for hydrothermal fluids for precious metals.

About Vixen and the Red Lake Mining District

To date, the Red Lake Mining District ("Red Lake") has produced over 28 million ounces of gold since mines began production in 1925 (readers are cautioned that mineralization present on adjacent properties may not be present at Vixen). Historic gold mines in the Red Lake camp include the Campbell mine, the Red Lake mine, and the Couchenour-Williams mine, all multi-million ounce gold producers. Vixen lies within the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt, a geological trend located to the northeast of Red Lake that hosts numerous historical gold mines and showings and is highly-prospective for new showings of gold mineralization. ALX considers Vixen underexplored where areas of limited outcrop inhibited surface exploration and plans to identify new drill targets through its geophysical review and leading-edge geochemical exploration techniques.

Vixen consists of 499 mineral claims totaling 10,069 hectares (24,880 acres) located within the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt. The Vixen claims were staked by a company owned by Jody Dahrouge, a related party to ALX (the "Vendor") and were acquired by the Company in exchange for reimbursement of the Vendor's staking costs, and implementation of an exclusive three-year geological services agreement between ALX and the Vendor. A 2.0% NSR was granted in favour of the Vendor by ALX, 1.0% of which can be purchased by the Company for $1.5 million.
