ALX Resources Corp. Samples 1.77% U3O8 in Outcrop at the Bradley Lake Uranium Project, Saskatchewan

Vancouver, May 16, 2023 - ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to update its shareholders on exploration activities carried out on its Athabasca Basin area uranium projects in late 2022 and early 2023.

Bradley Lake Uranium Project ("Bradley Lake")

Bradley Lake consists of one claim owned 100% by ALX totaling 1,147 hectares (2,834 acres) situated within the Grease River Shear Zone ("GRSZ") approximately 30 kilometres northwest of Stony Rapids, SK. The GRSZ is a major crustal structural feature that defines the western edge of the Tantato Domain in northern Saskatchewan, and is believed to be structurally-associated with the Fond du Lac uranium deposit located 34 kilometres to the southwest. In 2007, a prospecting program in the Bradley Lake area discovered several significant uranium occurrences in outcrop known as the Bradley West and Bradley East showings, with uranium values ranging from 0.08% U₃O₈ to 3.53% U₃O₈ (Source: Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database, Report #74O-09-0023). In the fall of 2022, ALX visited the Bradley Lake showings and at Bradley West observed a northeast-southwest trending structure visible on surface for 60 metres, hosting radioactive occurrences along its length, which was cut off by overburden cover in both directions along strike. Four representative samples were collected from radioactive outcrop along the Bradley showings that returned geochemical values ranging from 0.08% to 1.77% U₃O₈, as shown in Figure 1 and Table 1 below.

After a review of historical assessment work records, ALX believes that the full potential of the Bradley Lake showing has not been realized. The Bradley West and East showings area conveys two different styles of mineralization: pitchblende veinlets hosted by pegmatites and potentially much more significant shear zone hosted uranium (Source: Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database, Report #74O-09-0023). Both styles of mineralization display a high uranium-thorium ratio indicative of hydrothermal processes related to a structural rather than a magmatic origin (Daubeny, 2009).

In 2007, a magnetic-radiometric-VLF ("Very Low Frequency") airborne survey was flown over Bradley Lake, which detected an approximate 700 metre-long uranium radiometric anomaly that corresponds to a portion of the mineralized zones on surface (see Figure 1). However, no follow-up electromagnetic ("EM") work was carried out over the radiometric anomaly beyond the VLF component of the historical airborne survey, which had a limited depth of investigation.

Two shallow "scissor" holes were drilled in 2011 from one collar location to undercut the presumed sub-surface strike of the Bradley Lake showing at shallow depths, from which the highest-grade interval was a modest 0.047% U3O8 over 0.30 metres from 23.3 to 23.6 metres. The two 2011 holes, totaling only 123.4 metres, were drilled without the benefit of a deep-penetrating ground EM survey, which has the capability to detect deeper targets that may exist beneath the uranium showings on surface.

In May 2023, ALX applied to the Government of Saskatchewan for a surface exploration permit, including ground geophysics, for follow-up exploration at Bradley Lake. The exploration plan includes detailed geological mapping, prospecting and a time-domain EM ("TDEM") survey to seek geophysical targets related to the area of the Bradley Lake showings.

McKenzie Lake and Javelin Uranium Projects ("McKenzie Lake" and "Javelin")

McKenzie Lake (5 claims totaling 6,916 hectares, or 17,097 acres), and Javelin (9 claims totaling 23,652 hectares, or 58,444 acres) each owned 100% by ALX are located in an emerging uranium exploration district in the southeast Athabasca Basin area after new discoveries by Baseload Energy and 92 Energy in 2021-2022. ALX acquired McKenzie Lake and Javelin in the fall of 2021 by staking, and by the purchase of four McKenzie Lake claims totaling 2,464 hectares (6,098 acres), which are subject to a 2.0% underlying royalty in favour of the arm's length vendor. In April 2023, ALX applied to the Government of Saskatchewan for surface exploration permits on McKenzie Lake and Javelin to include prospecting, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys, as follow-up to a high resolution magnetic and radiometric airborne survey and initial site visits ALX carried out in late 2021.

Sabre Uranium Project ("Sabre")

Sabre consists of 16 mineral claims owned 100% by ALX encompassing 16,041 hectares (39,637 acres), located along the northern margin of the Athabasca Basin near Richards Lake, SK, approximately 60 kilometres (40 miles) west of Stony Rapids, SK. In September 2022, two radioactive zones were mapped on surface in the Athabasca sandstone by ALX's prospecting team adjacent to an interpreted structural zone of quartz vein brecciation (see ALX news release dated October 25, 2022). In January 2023, ALX carried out a ground TDEM survey at Sabre and defined a previously untested airborne geophysical conductor near a 2006 drill hole that had demonstrated a significant dravite (boron) anomaly in the Athabasca Formation sandstone. Computer modeling of the 2023 TDEM conductor showed that the historical drill hole missed the conductor by approximately 275 metres, as shown in Figure 2 below:

Additional work at Sabre in 2023 may include airborne surveys, surface prospecting, geological mapping and Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon ("SGH") soil surveys across the highest-priority areas to optimize potential drill targets.

Carpenter Lake Uranium Project ("Carpenter Lake")

Carpenter Lake consists of 8 claims totaling 16,872 hectares (41,691 acres) located on the southern margin of the Athabasca Basin sandstone formation near Cree Lake, SK. Carpenter Lake is the subject of a joint venture, with ALX holding a 60% interest and Pacton Gold Inc. (formerly Noka Resources Inc.) holding a 40% interest. In December 2022, ALX, as operator of exploration for the joint venture, applied for an exploration permit to include ground geophysics, prospecting and diamond drilling. The permit was granted in April 2023, good to September 30, 2024. ALX is involved in an engagement process with local First Nations and Metis communities, and other area stakeholders, prior to the commencement of exploration activities.
