VANCOUVER, BC / TheNewswire / March 19, 2018 - Goldex Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE: GDX , Frankfurt: WKN-A2AEDT, Ticker: G6T2) (“Goldex” or the “Company”)

In 2017, Goldex set out to identify a gold project in West Africa that would have the potential to create the foundation for a significant gold mining company There were certain criteria, such as the projects location and geology, that were crucial to our decision. Mali is the third largest gold producer in Africa and hosts several world class mines with greater then 4 million ounces of gold in resources and has a strong pro-mining culture. We also targeted assets with development plans and ideally environmental permits and mining licenses in place, as well as an in-country team. The Korokoro property joint venture agreement announced on February 26, 2018 met all these criteria.

Korokoro JV Partners

RexMetal, S.A.R.L. (“REX”) 10%. The Korokoro license was granted to REX by the Mali government. The President of REX, Mme. Djeneba Samake, is also the President of the Mali Woman’s Mining Association which has 536 active members.

Geo-Sys-Tech S.A.R.L. (“GEO”) 39% The key shareholders of GEO are a group of five experienced European geology, mining, ore processing, maintenance, logistics and security experts (92%) and two Malian citizens (8%) which have a deep insight, understanding of political situation and family relations in the Republic of Mali and in the local environment.

GEO has been the developer of the Korokoro project and their project manager, Dr. Uros Herlec, has a doctorate in geology and is a professional natural scientist registered with the professional organization, Slovenian Geological Society, and is a full member of the European Federation of Geologists. Dr. Herlec was for five years the President of the Slovenian Geological Society and for 3 years the Vice-President of the European Federation of Geologists. Dr. Herlec has a permanent lecturing position at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty for Natural Sciences and Engineering, Department of Geology.

Dr. Herlec has directed the development plan of GEO along with his colleagues from the from the University of Ljubljana.

With exploration drilling having been completed to a 30-meter depth, GEO’s development plan for the Korokoro property calls for a simple conventional open pit mining and gravitational processing of heavy mineral ores with a mobile beneficiation plant to enable ecological and low-cost production. GEO’s exploration plan calls for additional deeper drilling.

GEO and REX have provided geological reports to the Company. REX reports indicate laterite covers most of the concession with a thickness of up to 6-10 meters. The reports provided to the Company indicates that exploration has consisted of geological mapping, geochemistry, geophysics and surveys by the Japan International Cooperation Agency and other companies. Exploration work included 647 meters of drilling in 315 drill holes and 439 geochemical samples. GEO’s reports provided to the Company indicate that exploration along the promising mineralized and altered contact between the granitic batholiths and Pre-Cambrian lithic sandstones may add significantly to the mineralization.
