TXR Terrax Minerals Inc

TerraX Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TXR)(FRANKFURT:TX0)(PINKSHEETS:TRXXF) has
completed its planned four hole (1,000 m) drill program at the Homer Lake base
metal/precious metal target and moved Drill #1 to the Barney Shear (28.32 m @
2.97 g/t Au, inclusive of 4.00 m @ 12.59 g/t Au in news release August 14th,
2013) which is the extension of the Con Mine/Giant Mine shear system that has
hosted more than 13 Moz of gold production from the two historic mines. The
Barney Shear Zone is one of TerraX's primary gold targets on the Northbelt
property of the Yellowknife City Gold Project ("YCGP") in the Northwest
Territories. Drilling is still underway with a second drill at the nearby
Crestaurum gold deposit, as announced on April 7, 2014.


The Barney Shear has been delineated over a strike length of 4.5 km by TerraX
and previous workers and has only been drill tested by prior operators over a
600 m strike length. Surface mapping in June 2013 indicates that the Barney
Shear Zone consists of multiple mineralized shears over a greater than 200 m
width. The 2014 Barney Shear drilling will consist of up to 8 holes following
the strike extension of the shear up to 300 m north of the mineralization
defined in drilling carried out by Nebex Resources Ltd. in 1995 and 1996. In
addition, TerraX will be re-entering the collars of 4 drill holes from the
1995-96 campaigns. These holes will be surveyed down hole to accurately
determine the location of previously intersected zones of mineralization, and
then multiple wedges will be turned off the original holes to generate
additional mineralized intersections. This work is possible as the previous
exploration drilling had left the original drill hole collars cased and capped
to preserve them for future work on this important mineralized zone. 


The first hole re-sampled by TerraX, NB95-16, was drilled on the Barney Shear by
Nebex in 1995. TerraX's assay results include an interval of 20.86 m @ 3.79 g/t
Au, inclusive of 4.00 m @ 12.59 g/t Au (news release of Aug 14, 2013). Holes
NB-96-02 and NB96-04, drilled in 1996, were also re-logged and re-sampled by
TerraX with assay results that included 8.16 m @ 5.06 g/t Au and 6.32 g/t Ag
(NB96-02) and 27.00 m @ 1.9 g/t Au and 6.94 g/t Ag (NB96-04) (news release of
Nov 14, 2014 ). The assay results from NB96-02 and NB96-04 are very encouraging
as they confirm the strike continuation and substantial areal extent of the
Barney Shear Zone. A map indicating the location of this prior drilling is
available on our web site at www.terraxminerals.com.


Drilling at Homer Lake commenced on March 25, 2014 and targeted a buried
conductor identified by airborne surveys conducted by TerraX in 2013 that had
never been drill-tested This target area was within 500 m of a previously
established ice road which made winter access easier and allowed this drill
program to be completed quickly with less environmental impact than would have
been the case with overland access in summer conditions. Logging and sampling of
drill core from Homer Lake is currently underway with assay results pending.


Homer Lake is not a traditional gold target as would be expected in a major gold
belt like the Yellowknife Gold Camp. It was originally discovered from surface
prospecting in the 1930s and six mineralized structures were delineated during
reconnaissance prospecting by TerraX in the Homer Lake area in 2013. One
structure has been traced by TerraX for 1,200 m and has chip sample results of 7
m @ 0.50 g/t Au, 90.2 g/t Ag, 4.25% Pb and 0.89% Zn. A parallel structure
sampled by TerraX graded 5 m @ 1.54 g/t Au, 95.5 g/t Ag, 3.13% Pb and 1.59% Zn.
A grab sample by TerraX from a third structure graded 0.60 g/t Au, 529 g/t Ag,
greater than 20% Pb, and 9.44% Zn.

About the Yellowknife City Gold Project

The Yellowknife City Gold Project encompasses approximately 8,400 hectares of
contiguous land immediately north of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest
Territories and includes TerraX's wholly-owned Northbelt property acquired in
February 2013.


The Northbelt gold property encompasses 3,562 hectares on the prolific
Yellowknife belt, all within 15 km of the city of Yellowknife, and covers 13 km
of strike on the northern extension of the geology that contained the Giant (7.8
Moz) and Con (5.5 Moz) gold mines. The Northbelt property is host to multiple
shears that are the recognized hosts for gold deposits in the Yellowknife camp
and it contains innumerable gold showings and historic high grade drill results.



TerraX has carried out a strategy of acquiring prospective ground adjacent to
Northbelt and in October 2013 entered into an option agreement whereby it can
acquire a 100% interest in the Walsh Lake gold property, which is contiguous
with and immediately east of Northbelt. The Walsh Lake property consists of
seven leases and five claims totaling 6,659 acres (2,695 hectares). TerraX has
also staked and acquired ground to the west of Northbelt to cover prospective
geology that is on strike from Northbelt structures.
