Rex Resources Completes Rock Sampling and Reconnaissance at Macktush High-Grade Gold Property and Announces Flow-Through Financing

December 11, 2024 – Vancouver, B.C. – Rex Resources Corp. (TSXV: OWN, FRANKFT: 94G) (“Rex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of a geological reconnaissance and surface rock geochemical sampling campaign at the Company’s Macktush Property comprising eight (8) contiguous mineral claims totalling approximately 275 hectares located near Port Alberni, British Columbia (the “Property”).

During November 2024, the Company’s geological consultants, APEX Geoscience Ltd., completed an initial geological reconnaissance of the principal mineral occurrences on the Property, including the Fred, David and Zinc vein areas. Historic 1987 diamond drilling of the Fred Vein yielded high grade gold intercepts including 44.2 grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 3.8 metres¹.

Highlights of Initial Reconnaissance:

  • 22 surface rock mineralized vein and trench float samples collected for gold fire assay and multi-element geochemical analysis;
  • Fred-David-Zinc vein structure successfully traced on surface over 500 metres northeast trending strike length and 200 metres vertically;
  • Multiple disseminate pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralized banded to vuggy-comb texture multi-phase quartz vein, and quartz stockwork occurrences exposed in excavated trenches, prospect pits, and short adits observed consistent with that historically reported (Image 1);
  • Vein zones in outcrop and mineralized float boulders suggest composite vein zones ranging from less than 1 metres to 4 metres in true width, flanked by potassium (K)-sericite-chlorite-pyrite alteration halos within dominantly intrusive host rocks; and
  • Confirmation of reliable road access along Canal Main FSR from Port Alberni direct to Fred vein with multiple spur roads in good condition accessing all other prospects at varied elevations allowing for year-round exploration.

The Company expects continued news flow over the coming months as assay results are received and plans for the combined exploration of the Macktush and Rex properties continue to take shape.

¹ True width estimated to be 70-90% of drilled interval.

Craig Taylor, President, CEO and Director of Rex, stated:

"We are excited to have completed our initial reconnaissance of the Macktush Property. Given gold recently reached an historic all-time high of US$2,790 per ounce this past October we are evaluating the high-grade gold veins at Macktush with particular interest. Our geologic teams have confirmed the presence of a broad composite vein zone exposed over a considerable lateral and vertical extent, indicating the potential for a sizeable exploration target. We look forward to reporting the results of this first round of sampling and announcing our plans going forward soon."

Flow-Through Financing

In addition, Rex announces that the Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to 1,000,000 flow-through common shares (each, a "FT Share") at a price of $0.10 per FT Share for gross proceeds of up to$ 100,000. The FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"). An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible resource exploration expenses which will qualify as (i) "Canadian exploration expenses" (as defined in the Tax Act), and (ii) as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures"). Qualifying Expenditures in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Shares will be incurred (or deemed to be incurred) by the Company on or before December 31, 2025 and will be renounced by the Company to the subscribers of the FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024.

The Private Placement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange, and all securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws.
