TerraX Completes Phase one drilling at Sam Otto and commences drilling at North Giant Extension Target

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2019 / TerraX Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:TXR)(FSE:TX0)(OTC PINKk:TRXXF) is pleased to announce that the 2019 summer drill program moves to Berry Hill at the Yellowknife City Gold (“YCG”) project. Phase 1 at Sam Otto South has been completed with approximately 1200m of drilling over 1km of strike extension. All holes intersected targeted shear zones and assays are pending. TerraX will return to Sam Otto South later this summer to follow up with more aggressive step out holes intended to build strike extension to the south for an additional 2km.

Drilling activity has moved to the Berry Hill zone within the Barney Deformation Corridor (BDC) on trend with the North Giant Extension (Figure 1). Approximately 900 meters of diamond drilling will test a prospective zone based on surface sample results and positive historical data that accompanied historical core acquired in late 2018. The goal is to define a multi-kilometer long gold bearing system that trends north from the last known workings of the Giant mine at the GKP zone (Figure 1).

David Suda, President and CEO stated, “This part of our summer program at Berry Hill is an early look at the potential to define gold structures trending at least 8 km onto TerraX property from the North Giant extension (NGX). We are working to define the continuation of a trend that produced over 8M ounces of high-grade gold in the past.”

Upon completion of drilling at Berry Hill, TerraX will commence approximately 2500 meters drilling at the high-grade Crestaurum target. The company will announce more detailed plans in the coming weeks.

About the Yellowknife City Gold Project

The Yellowknife City Gold (“YCG”) project encompasses 783 sq km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, TerraX controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 km of the City of Yellowknife, the YCG project is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power and skilled tradespeople.

The YCG project lies on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering 70 km of strike length along the main mineralized break in the Yellowknife gold district, including the southern and northern extensions of the shear system that hosted the high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The project area contains multiple shears that are the recognized hosts for gold deposits in the Yellowknife gold district, with innumerable gold showings and recent high-grade drill results that serve to indicate the project’s potential as a world-class gold district.
