ALX Resources Corp. Begins Drilling Program at the Alligator Lake Gold Project, SK

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 19, 2022) - ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a diamond drilling program is underway at the Alligator Lake Gold Project ("Alligator", or the "Project") located approximately 165 kilometres (103 miles) northeast of La Ronge, SK, Canada. The Project consists of five claims totaling 2,973 hectares (7,347 acres) and is prospective for high-grade gold mineralization. Alligator is the subject of an option agreement where ALX can earn up to an 80% interest in the Project (see ALX news release dated March 15, 2021).

2022 Exploration Program

The 2022 drilling program consists of up to eight (8) NQ-size diamond drill holes totaling approximately 1,000 metres. Primary targets include a target near ALX's 2021 hole AL21-004, which returned 10.67 grams/tonne gold over 0.98 metres from 6.86 to 7.84 metres. Other 2022 targets are situated near holes AL21-005 (returned 8.44 m of 1.93 g/t Au) and AL21-006, both of which displayed visible gold in the drill core (see ALX news releases dated March 25, 2021 and May 26, 2021). The 2022 drilling will include testing of two distinct target types for gold mineralization at Alligator:

• Quartz vein swarms within small-scale folds and flexures associated with shearing;
• Intrusive-hosted gold mineralization intersected in hole AL21-005.

Concurrent with the 2022 drilling program, ALX has contracted an induced polarization/resistivity ("IP/Res") survey totaling 24.3 line kilometres covering the southern extent of the Broken Hammer Shear Zone and its possible intersection with the interpreted Radiant Lake Shear Zone. ALX's review and digitization of a historical IP/Res survey led to the implementation of the 2022 survey, which is anticipated to provide valuable data for a better understanding of the gold mineralizing system at Alligator.

A Max-Min ground electromagnetic ("EM") survey totaling 12.6 line kilometres is also planned as follow-up on historical airborne EM conductors surveyed by Saskatchewan Mining and Development Corporation ("SMDC") in 1981. An outcrop located immediately east of the historical EM conductor was sampled in 1982 by SMDC and returned values of 0.56% and 0.13% copper in two grab samples. In October 2021, ALX visited the site of the SMDC sampling during a helicopter-supported prospecting program and collected two grab samples that returned anomalous values of 0.24% and 0.27% copper, with accompanying anomalous values of 350 and 358 parts per billion gold, respectively. ALX has applied for an extension to the currently permitted work area to include this target.

About Alligator Lake

Alligator is located adjacent to Provincial Highway 102, with an established winter trail system suitable for mobilizing drilling equipment directly to ALX's primary areas of interest. The Project has been held since 1985 by a private company and has been the subject of a number of seasonal prospecting programs, some geophysical surveying and limited drilling. Prior to ALX's 2021 drilling program, only 16 diamond drill holes have been drilled since 1995 to depths averaging less than 86 metres.

ALX's 2021 drilling at Alligator consisted of six NQ-size diamond drill holes totaling 617.6 metres (2,026 feet) focused along an approximate 1,000-metre section of the Broken Hammer Shear Zone, where a sulphide-bearing quartz vein (ALX, 2020) at the Broken Hammer Showing returned 504.0 grams/tonne ("g/t") gold (16.13 oz/ton), and 46.2 g/t silver (see ALX news release dated January 27, 2021). ALX's drilling encountered significant gold mineralization in multiple holes, which provides a strong basis for follow-up drilling and ground exploration across the Broken Hammer Shear Zone and elsewhere at the Project.

National Instrument 43-101 Disclosure

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Jody Dahrouge, P.Geo., a Director of ALX, who is a Qualified Person in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101.

Readers are cautioned that some of the technical information described in this news release is historical in nature; however, the historical information is deemed credible and was produced by professional geoscientists in the years discussed. Historical geochemical results quoted in this news release were taken directly from assessment work filings published by the Government of Saskatchewan and other regulatory filings. Management cautions that historical results collected and reported by past operators have not been verified nor confirmed by its Qualified Person, but create a scientific basis for ongoing work in the Alligator property area.

Geochemical results from 2020 and 2021 grab samples and ALX's 2021 drill core samples described in this news release were shipped to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK and analyzed using a 4-acid digestion with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Gold, platinum and palladium were analyzed by fire assay techniques. Certain of the samples were further analyzed by metallic gold assay. True widths of the quoted 2021 drilled intersections are currently unknown.
