TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2026 / PJX Resources Inc. ("PJX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the close of the second tranche of our previously announced (see June 18 and July 8, 2026, news releases) non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement" or "offering") for gross proceeds of $6.3 million.
John Keating, President of PJX, commented: "This financing will allow PJX to focus on two priority discovery opportunities for critical metals and gold in an established Canadian mining district. An initial 4,000 m drill program has commenced to test for a potential Sullivan-style Sedimentary Exhalative (Sedex) critical-metals discovery on the Dewdney Trail Property. At the Zinger Property, prospecting, mapping and surface sampling for gold are underway at the Gar target in advance of receiving permits to drill a potential Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) for the first time. Together, these targets give PJX a rare opportunity to pursue two distinct discovery catalysts in a proven mining district with strong infrastructure advantages. (see more below)"
Private Placement
The Company issued units on a non-flow through basis (each a "Unit"), "flow through" basis (each a "Flow Through Unit ("FTU"), and a Charity Flow-through basis (each a "Charity Flow-through Unit ("CFTU")" or a "Charity Flow-through Critical Metals Unit ("CFTUCM"). The subscription prices for each of the foregoing are $0.125 for a Unit, $0.15 per FTU, $0.168 per CFTU, and $0.18 per CFTUCM. The first tranche closed on July 6, 2026 with gross proceeds of $3,422,040. In the second tranche, the Company issued 8,270,000 CFTU and 8,270,000 CFTUCM with gross proceeds of $2,877,960. The cumulative total gross proceeds for the Offering is $6,300,000.
Subject to TSXV approval, finders' fees comprised of $74,725 cash and 597,800 non-transferable warrants may be paid in respect of the second tranche of the Offering. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.20 for 24 months following completion of this tranche of the Offering.
Each Unit and each Flow-through Unit, regardless of whether it is a FTU, CFTU or CFTUCM, consists of one common share to be issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant acquired entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.20 for 24 months following completion of this tranche of the Offering.
All securities issuable in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada which will run for four months plus a day from the date of the closing of each tranche of the Offering. The Private Placement is subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and to receipt of the final approval and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for expenditures on its properties located in Cranbrook, British Columbia, and for general working capital purposes. The Company will expend an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Flow Through Units, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's projects in British Columbia, on or before December 31, 2026, and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the Flow Through Units effective December 31, 2026.
Dewdney Trail Property - Priority Critical-Metals Target with Sullivan-Style Potential
At the Dewdney Trail Property, PJX has identified three prospective target areas-Estella Basin, Lewis Ridge, and Grundy Creek-each with potential to host a Sedex-type deposit. The Estella Basin is the most advanced target with Sullivan style and grade mineralization identified in surface boulders (Photos A and B). In 2025, drilling intersected the Quake Zone, an estimated 30 m thick horizon entirely anomalous in zinc, lead, silver, copper, cobalt, gold, cadmium, and gallium. These results point to a significant mineralizing system and provide clear vectors for follow-up exploration. The opportunity is further strengthened by its location, approximately 25 km east of the historical Sullivan mine, which operated for more than 90 years and produced more than 297 million ounces of silver, 8.4 million tonnes of lead, and 7.9 million tonnes of zinc, plus additional gold, tin, copper, cadmium, antimony, and bismuth in concentrate, according to British Columbia Ministry of Mines reports (Table 1 below). PJX's 2026 exploration will use the Quake Zone as a vector to discover the source of boulders with Sullivan style and grade mineralization.
Zinger Property - Drill-Ready Gold Opportunity with RIRGS Scale Potential
At the Zinger Property, the undrilled Gar target offers a compelling potential RIRGS gold opportunity with visible gold, strong geochemical and geophysical support, and geological characteristics comparable to Snowline Gold's Valley RIRGS discovery in the Yukon (Table 2). Visible gold at the Gar target occurs in sheeted and structurally controlled quartz veins within a mid-Cretaceous granodiorite-to-granitic intrusion (Photo C). Previously announced grab samples from sheeted veins in outcrop and boulders returned gold values ranging from anomalous levels up to 28,841 ppb (28.84 g/t). Visible gold occurs as individual grains and with pyrite (Photos D and E). Historical soil sampling has outlined a 1,600 m long gold-in-soil anomaly associated with the Gar intrusion. Airborne magnetic geophysical data further supports the potential for a cluster of RIRGS targets in the area, giving PJX multiple gold targets to advance through drilling and follow-up exploration (see March 18, 2026, news release). Drilling at the Zinger Property is planned for later in the summer, pending permit renewals.
Dewdney Trail and Zinger Property target areas can be accessed by road, with some holes expected to be supported by helicopter from Cranbrook, approximately a 15-minute flight to either property."

Photo A - Sample STM-23-7 (9.33% zinc, 2.48% lead, 14.62 g/t silver, 495 ppm or 0.05% copper) Estella Basin discovery of Sullivan style and grade boulder in talus at bottom of slope. Alternating dark and light coloured beds are sulphide-rich beds of zinc, lead and iron that have broken apart by basin disruption as evidenced by the Quake zone. The source of this bedded sulpide mineralization may be stratigraphically below or on strike with the large Quake zone intersected by drilling in 2025. | Photo B - Sample STM-23-8 (3.55% zinc, 0.98% lead, 7.5 g/t silver, 442 ppm or 0.04% copper). Estella Basin of discovery of Sullivan style and grade boulder found at bottom of slope. Although the overall grade of this sample is lower it tells an important story. The individual massive sphalerite fragments are an indicator of the potential for much higher grade bands with zinc rich massive sulphides beds similar to what occurs at the Sullivan. |
