ALX Resources Corp. (TSX-V: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) is pleased to announce the execution of a definitive agreement for an option earn-in transaction on its 100%-owned Gibbons Creek Uranium Project located in the northern Athabasca Basin near Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan. ALX has executed the Definitive Agreement with Trinex Lithium Ltd. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinex Minerals Limited, which is a publicly-traded mineral exploration company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, Trinex Canada can earn an initial 51% interest and up to a 75% participating interest in the Project in two stages over a period of five years by making cash payments and common shares payments to ALX, and by incurring exploration expenditures as shown in the table below.

Details of the Option Earn-In Transaction

Trinex Canada can earn an initial 51% participating interest¹, and up to a 75% participating interest² in the Project according to the schedule of cash and common shares payments and exploration expenditures, as follows:

^1,2 Star Minerals Group Ltd. (“SMG”) has underlying rights under a Mineral Property Option Agreement dated November 5, 2013 (the “SMG Agreement”) to buy-back a 25% interest in dispositions S-107355 and S-108135 (the “Legacy Claims”) in accordance with the terms of the SMG Agreement. The Definitive Agreement contains terms dealing with SMG’s right to buy-back a 25% interest in the Legacy Claims, including that Trinex Canada and ALX will each transfer its proportionate share (based on its respective interest in the Legacy Claims at the time) of the 25% interest in the Legacy Claims that is required to be transferred to SMG in accordance with the SMG Agreement if SMG exercises that buy-back right.

To satisfy the initial payment terms of the Definitive Agreement, Trinex Canada has paid ALX a total of CAD$100,000 cash, which includes $50,000 in cash paid upon execution of the letter agreement in February 2024 and an additional $50,000 in cash paid upon the execution of the Definitive Agreement. In addition, Trinex Minerals Limited, the parent company of Trinex Canada, has issued 68,743,011 fully paid ordinary shares to ALX representing a value of CAD$250,000. The Shares will be held in voluntary escrow for 12 months.

If Trinex Canada meets its payment and expenditure obligations in relation to the initial option interest, it may elect by written notice to receive a 51% interest in the Project, (subject to the provisions of the Definitive Agreement dealing with the SMG’s buy-back rights in respect of the Legacy Claims as stated in the footnote above) transferred to it from ALX for no further consideration, and at its option the parties would form an unincorporated joint venture in respect of the Project pursuant to a joint venture agreement to be agreed between the parties or, if not agreed, joint venture terms described in the Definitive Agreement.

Trinex also holds the right to elect to earn an additional 24% interest in the Project following completion of the Initial Option Interest (to take its total interest to 75%) by making additional cash and share payments to ALX and meeting minimum aggregate expenditures each as described in the table above.

Where payments are to be made in shares, the number of shares will be determined by reference to the 10-trading day volume weighted average price (or “VWAP”) of Trinex Minerals Limited ordinary shares up to the end of the business day before the date of issue.

The timing by which Trinex Canada must incur the minimum exploration expenditures will be extended in circumstances where Trinex Canada is prevented from undertaking work and activities on the Project due to encountering any force majeure events.

Trinex Canada may withdraw from the Initial Option Interest or Second Option Interest at any time. If Trinex Canada withdraws after earning a 51% interest in the Project or a 75% interest in the Project (as the case may be), then it will retain its 51% Project interest or its 75% Project interest, as applicable, notwithstanding the withdrawal. If Trinex Canada withdraws prior to earning the 51% Project interest, then it will not acquire any interest in the Project.

2024 Exploration Program

In March 2024, ALX initiated a diamond drilling program at the Project and completed five holes totaling 905.4 metres (see Figure 1). Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, Trinex Canada will assume operatorship of exploration at Gibbons Creek and will reimburse ALX for the costs of the 2024 program, which totalled approximately CAD$500,000. The costs incurred by ALX will be applicable towards Trinex Canada’s first year’s minimum expenditure obligations.

Four of the five 2024 drill holes intersected uranium mineralization at or near the unconformity, based upon hand-held scintillometer readings on drill core, downhole gamma probe results, and visual observation of uranium minerals by ALX’s geological team (see ALX’s news release dated April 25, 2024). Core samples were shipped to Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK for geochemical analysis. Results will be released after their receipt, compilation and interpretation.

About Gibbons Creek

Gibbons Creek consists of eight mineral claims comprising 13,864 hectares (34,259 acres) located along the northern margin of the Athabasca Basin.

The Project is located in a region that hosts numerous historical uranium occurrences, such as the Black Lake discoveries in several drill holes beginning in 2004, and the historical Nisto Mine, from which 500 tons of ore was shipped in 1950 to the historical Lorado Mill at Uranium City, SK, including 106 tons grading 1.6% U₃O₈ (Source: Saskatchewan Mineral Deposits Index, #1621). ALX holds an exploration permit for Gibbons Creek, good until October 2025, which allows for up to 20 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 5,000 metres, along with ground-based geophysics, prospecting, and geochemical sampling. Access to Gibbons Creek is via roads and trails that lead from the community of Stony Rapids, SK, which is connected to all-weather Highway 905, thereby creating flexibility for either summer or winter exploration programs. Stony Rapids has readily-available fuel, supplies and accommodations for field personnel, and an airport with daily flights to cities and towns in southern Saskatchewan.

ALX carried out a comprehensive review of Gibbons Creek historical exploration data and integrated that information with the high-resolution magnetic and Soil Gas Hydrocarbon (geochemical surveys completed in November 2023.

The historical data review by ALX included the results from the following survey methods:

• DC resistivity surveys;
• Ground gravity survey;
• Ground electromagnetic surveys;
• Radon in soil survey;
• Digitized drill traces and the radiometric and geochemical results of historical drill holes by Famok (1969), Eldorado Nuclear (1979,1980), and ALX (2015).

The historical data and the results of ALX’s ground surveys on the 2023 exploration grid show important characteristics of the Project’s potential to host uranium mineralization, which is demonstrated by the mineralization found in ALX’s 2015 hole GC15-03 (0.13% U₃O₈ over 0.23 metres from 107.67 metres to 107.90 metres), in Eldorado Nuclear’s 1979 hole GC-15 (0.179% U₃O₈ over 0.13 metres from 134.11 to 134.24 metres) (see Figure 1), and in the holes drilled in the 2024 program.
