October 1, 2024 – Vancouver, B.C. – Rex Resource Corp. (TSXV: OWN, FRANKFT: 94G) (“Rex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Kristopher Raffle, B.Sc., P.Geo. as a director of the Company.
With 25 years Canadian and international base and precious metals mineral exploration experience, Mr. Raffle is well positioned to advance the Company’s Rex and Mactush Cu-Au-Ag projects located on Vancouver Island near Port Alberni, British Columbia.
Mr. Raffle is a Partner and Principal Geologist with the leading Edmonton-based geologic consulting firm, APEX Geoscience Ltd. In addition, Mr. Raffle is a current director of Monumental Energy Corp. and has held past director roles at Defense Metals Corp., and New Placer Dome Gold Corp. He has over 25 years experience conducting project evaluations, exploration program design, data analysis, and geological modelling, with respect to Archean and Carlin-type-gold, copper-gold-porphyry, gold-silver-epithermal, volcanic-hosted-massive-sulphide, rare-earth-element, and kimberlite-diamond deposits throughout Canada, USA, and Mexico.
Kristopher Raffle, P.Geo., Director of Rex Resources Corp. and QP stated:
“As an exploration geologist born and raised on Vancouver Island, I have always had a keen interest in its considerable base and precious metals potential. Despite significant past production from major mines including BHP’s Island Copper and the Myra Falls VMS deposit, in addition to significant undeveloped projects including the Hushamu and Catface porphyry deposits, Vancouver Island remains relatively underexplored [1]. Given the compelling historical assay results returned at Mactush including 3.8 metres averaging 1.29 ounces-per-tonne (oz/t) (44 grams-per-tonne) gold, and 5.0 oz/t (173 g/t) silver, and 0.95% copper (drill hole 87-3 [2]), I look forward to the opportunity to advance both the Rex and Mactush projects.”
