The Cannabis Sector

The Company, upon review of the cannabis sector and markets, has commenced identifying and pursuing opportunities in Europe which is the largest up and coming cannabis market in the world.

It is interesting to note that in the cannabis sector, the largest market within western cultures is represented by Europe, having an approximate population of 740 million people (with EU representing approximately 512 million), when compared to North America having an approximate population of 579 million (with USA representing approximately 327 million). The Company will consider opportunities and acquisitions in the cannabis sector only in fully legal jurisdictions," stated Raj Chowdhry, CEO.

Mining Sector

Gnome Project (Zinc/Cobalt) (100% owned): The Company has commenced the process to organize and execute its planned 2019 exploration and drill program. The program is expected to complete by September 30, 2019. The Gnome Zinc Project, 100% owned by AsiaBaseMetals Inc. located in the province of British Columbia, Canada, encompasses approximately 5,868 hectares (12 mineral claims including the 613.91 hectares recently staked) in the heart of the area that is home to ZincX Resources Corp. Inc.’s flagship 100% owned Akie Project hosting the Cardiac Creek SEDEX Zn-Pb-Ag deposit, and Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) & Korea Zinc ’s (“KZ”) joint ventured (“T-KZ JV”- 50% each) Cirque deposit and the Pie, Cirque East and Yuen properties.

All properties discussed are in the same geological belt, NE of Williston Lake, in the Kechika trough geological belt within the southernmost part (Kechika Trough) of the regionally extensive Paleozoic Selwyn Basin. The Selwyn Basin is one of the most prolific sedimentary basins in the world for the occurrence of SEDEX zinc-lead silver and stratiform barite deposits and was discovered in the heyday of northern B.C., Canada, Pb-Zn-Ag exploration (late 1970s and early 1980s). Mineralization hosted on the Cirque and Cardiac Creek (Akie Project) Properties is not indicative of the mineralization hosted on the Company’s Gnome Zinc Project at its current stage of exploration.

The Gnome project, located 35 km SE along trend from Cirque and 15 km SE of the Akie Property, was the subject of two previously prepared technical reports, with the latest being in 2012 (reports available on the Company’s website).

Thazi Project: The Company is awaiting the grant of exploration permits for lithium pursuant to a submitted application. The Company intends to design its initial work program to explore for both hard-rock and salar-type (continental salts and brines) deposit potential, using modern field techniques with International Organization for Standardization-approved mineralogical studies and analytical methods. The Thazi Mineral Claims are located in the Hlaing Det area in the Meiktila District, known as the main Feldspar-producing area of Myanmar. The Thazi Mineral Claims are accessible by road via the Meiktila-Thazi-Taunggyi highway, the main highway from central Myanmar to Shan State in the east, which eventually leads to the border of Thailand, and by train which runs through the central portion of the Thazi Mineral Claims. Power also runs along the highway and is available in the Hlaing Det area.

Raj Chowdhry, CEO, stated, “The opportunity to advance the Gnome Project, a project adjacent to the Cardiac Creek Deposit (hosted within the Akie Project) where ZincX announced (June 20, 2018) robust results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"), towards drilling of the project is very exciting.”

Afzaal Pirzada, P.Geo., a Consultant to the Company, is an Independent Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the information of a scientific or technical nature contained in this news release.

The PEA is considered preliminary in nature and includes inferred Mineral Resources Ltd. that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Mineral Resources Ltd. that are not mineral reserves have not yet demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Mineral Resources Ltd., it cannot be assumed that all or any part of a mineral resource will be upgraded to mineral reserves. Therefore, there is no certainty that the results concluded in the PEA will be realized. Mineralization hosted on the Cirque and Cardiac Creek (Akie Project) Properties is not indicative of the mineralization hosted on the Company’s Gnome Zinc Project at its current stage of exploration.
