ALX Uranium Corp. Announces Purchase Agreement for the Tango Property in Northern Saskatchewan

ALX Uranium Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company”) (TSXV: AL; FSE: 6LLN; OTC: ALXEF) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed an agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Tango Property (“Tango”, or the “Property”) from DG Resource Management Ltd. (the “Vendor”), a private company controlled by a director of ALX. Tango consists of eight claims totaling 13,709 hectares (33,876 acres) prospective for nickel, copper and cobalt mineralization and is located approximately 175 kilometres northwest of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Canada.

ALX believes that the Tango property has the potential to host polymetallic mineral deposits, based on the results of historical sampling and geological mapping programs. Mineralization found within metasedimentary rocks southwest of Dot Lake, near the center of the Property, has been traced over a length of 2.0 kilometres (1.25 miles).

“Our acquisition of the Tango Property is consistent with our commitment to mineral exploration in Saskatchewan,” said Warren Stanyer, CEO and Chairman of ALX. “Tango could host polymetallic mineralization and we intend to apply leading-edge exploration methods to unlock its full potential.”

ALX’s acquisition of the Tango Property from a company controlled by a director of ALX is a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The acquisition is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in section 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration paid by ALX to the director’s company does not exceed 25% of ALX’s market capitalization.

Details of the Tango Purchase Agreement

The Vendor has agreed to sell and transfer to ALX an undivided 100% interest in the Property for an initial payment of $20,000 on signing of the purchase agreement (paid), and an additional payment of $20,000 on closing of the transaction (“Closing”), subject to a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”). One-half of the NSR (i.e., 1.0%) can be purchased by ALX for $2.0 million at any time within five years from Closing. The Tango purchase agreement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

About Tango

Tango is located in an underexplored area of the Mudjatik Domain of northern Saskatchewan, where exploration for uranium in the late 1970s discovered showings of gold, nickel, cobalt and copper in surface sampling of outcrops. Airborne electromagnetic surveys detected conductors that were not followed up by diamond drilling when the uranium rush of the era subsided in the early 1980s.

In 1979, Golden Eagle Oil and Gas Ltd. carried out surface prospecting on Tango as part of a wider regional exploration program for uranium and base metals. Lake sediment samples taken by Golden Eagle in the Tango area showed anomalous values of nickel, copper, cobalt and zinc. Grab samples from a historical showing known as the Sunlite Trench returned the following values*:

In 1980, Golden Eagle re-trenched and re-sampled a gold-bearing quartz vein at the Sunlite Trench and recorded a gold value of 18.0 grams/tonne in a grab sample, along with 0.16% copper. Further work was recommended, but was not carried out and the mineral permit lapsed in 1984. Other precious metals explorers completed surface sampling for gold and follow-up ground geophysical programs, but by 1992 exploration ceased without any drilling having been carried out within the area of the Property.
