Rex Resources Announces Planned 2022 Exploration at Kalum Gold Property, Golden Triangle Region, BC & Non-brokered private placement financing
26 April 2022 - 11:15PM
Rex Resources Corp.
(TSX-V:OWN),
(“Rex” or “the
Company”) is pleased to announce that it
has approved a summer 2022 exploration program at Eagle Plain
Resources Corp.’s (
TSX-V:EPL)
(“EPL”) 100% owned
Kalum Property
located approximately 35 km northwest of Terrace, British Columbia
in the Skeena Mining Division. The planned program is budgeted at
$150,000 and will include detailed mapping, prospecting, and
surficial geochemical surveys including systematic soil & rock
sampling at the
Bling Rico,
Babit-God, Tojo
and
Hat Zones. The program aims to further define
and extend mineralized trends highlighted in historic work. The
results from the 2022 program will be used to further interpret the
property mineralization model and generate drill-ready targets for
future programs. The Company holds the exclusive right to earn an
undivided 60% interest in the property by completing exploration
expenditures of $3,000,000, making cash payments of $500,000 and
issuing 1,000,000 common shares to Eagle Plains over a four year
period.
Property Geology
The 2,870 ha property is flanked by a large
intrusive stock that has intruded sedimentary rocks of the Bowser
Lake Group. There are at least fifteen mineral showings on the
property coincident with the contact zones of these intrusive
plutons and large-scale structural zones. Mineralization is
dominantly high-grade, epithermal/mesothermal, polymetallic and
gold-bearing veins that are hosted within both intrusive rocks and
country rock.
Property History
Eagle Plains acquired the property in 2003 and
completed significant exploration programs on the property in 2003
and 2004. The programs included a VTEM airborne survey, extensive
geochemical programs, geologic mapping, and a 19-hole diamond drill
program. The best drill results from this work included drill-hole
KRC04001, drilled at the Rico showing (discovered by Eagle Plains),
which returned 35g/t Au over 2.5m from 101.8m to 104.3m;
including a 0.5m interval that assayed 107g/t Au.
Historical sampling at the Chris occurrence
reported a grab sample of 158 g/t Au and 5,536 g/t
Ag. At the Martin showing
area, sampling by Eagle Plains in 2004 returned
34.0 g/t Au and 83.0 g/t Ag from a grab sample of sulphide bearing
quartz vein material. The Martin area has never been drill tested.
Management cautions that rock grab samples are selective samples by
nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the
mineralization hosted across the property.
The property area has seen exploration activity
by various operators over the years, with the most recent diamond
drilling carried out in 2012 by Clemson Resources, who drilled a
single hole to test for high-grade mineralization in an area
outside of present claim boundaries. 2020 work by Eagle Plains
included high resolution orthophoto & LIDAR surveys and an
airborne magnetic & radiometric geophysical survey covering the
western portion of the property.
All work to date continues to
support the interpreted potential for the Kalum Property to host
both high-grade gold-silver deposits and lower-grade bulk-tonnage
type gold mineralization.
Charles C. Downie, P.Geo., a “qualified person”
for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects and a director of Eagle Plains, has
prepared, reviewed, and approved the scientific and technical
disclosure in the news release.
Non-brokered private
placement
The Company is also pleased to announce a
non-brokered private placement (the "Offering")
for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $200,000 from
the sale of flow-through shares of the Company (the "FT Shares") at
a price of $0.15 per FT Share. Each FT Share will be issued as a
"flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act
(Canada)
The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT
Shares will be used for "Canadian Exploration Expenses" (within the
meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Qualifying
Expenditures"), which will be renounced with an effective
date no later than December 31, 2022 to the purchasers of the FT
Shares in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds
raised from the issue of the FT Shares. If the Qualifying
Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company
will indemnify each subscriber of FT Shares for any additional
taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's
failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur
on or about May 24, 2022 and is subject to receipt of all necessary
regulatory approvals including the Canadian Securities Exchange.
