Rex Resources Corp. (OWN:TSX; 94G:FWB) is a copper, gold, and silver exploration company with properties on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, whose stock looks ready to break out into a major new bull market soon.

Before looking at the latest stock charts, we will gain a fundamental overview of the company using selected pages / slides from its investor deck.

The first slide from the deck shows the location of the company's properties on Vancouver Island, BC. They consist of two claim groups that are not far from each other, with each of them being comprised of eight contiguous mineral claims. The company has the option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in one of them, the MacTush property, and already has an undivided 100% interest in the other, known as the Rex property.

This slide shows the exact location of the company's properties on Vancouver Island and the location of the properties of other mining companies active on the island whose presence clearly improves the chances of Rex making significant discoveries.

The next slide shows the geographical extent of each of the two claim groups and their proximity to each other.

This slide provides a brief description of the four primary exploration areas lying within the claims and details the local infrastructure.

The slide below shares highlights of the Mactush Property.

Below is an overview of the Mactush property, which includes a table showing significant historic drilling results.

This slide provides a "work plan" or way forward for developing the Mactush property in the light of past exploration efforts and discoveries.

The slide below highlights the Rex Property.

The slide below overviews the northern section of the Rex Property.

This one overviews the southern section of the Rex Property.

Below is the "work plan" for the Rex Property.

We end by looking at a slide showing the capitalization of the company, and we see that the company has a very reasonable 22.1 million shares in issue.

For details of the exploration history of the properties and management, which are not included for space reasons, please refer to the company investor deck.

Turning now to the stock charts for Rex Resources and starting with the 4-year chart, we see that, following a severe bear market that saw it decline from a peak at CA$0.39 late in 2021 to bottom at 3 cents in January of this year for an over 90% drop from high to low, the price has stabilized and started to advance and we can also see that a basing process began as far back as the middle of 2022 and while it is somewhat hard to define, it is best described as a Head-and-Shoulders bottom.

The most important points to observe, however, relate to the volume pattern and volume indicators — both the Accumulation line and On-balance Volume lines have been trending quite strongly higher since the middle of last year, which gives added significance to the big volume buildup evident from the middle of this year, which is mostly upside volume.

This indicates persistent heavy buying by those who see a bright future for the company and its stock and since this buying has been met with selling which — so far — has stopped the price from advancing much, it is an indication of a high degree of rotation of stock from weaker to stronger hands, which is self-evident as most of the sellers in this area are selling for a loss.

What this means is that once selling in this price area has been fully absorbed — and the completion of the Head-and-Shoulders bottom is an indication that we are close to that point — then anyone wanting to buy the stock will have to bid up the stock.

This is why what we are seeing here with respect to the volume pattern and volume indicators is so bullish. A breakout above the July peak and the resistance marking the upper boundary of the pattern will mark the start of a major bull market and should trigger a period of accelerating advance; with the Right Shoulder of the H&S bottom looking about complete, we believe to be very close to such a breakout.

Moving on, the 1-year chart enables us to examine recent action in much more detail. This chart shows the latter part of the Head-and-Shoulders bottom, and on it, we can see that the price rose strongly last month on good volume to complete the Right Shoulder of the base pattern, putting it in position for a major breakout.

Interestingly, we can further see that the Right Shoulder is comprised of a small Cup and Handle base, and since this little pattern is also complete, it implies that the price will soon attack the resistance level shown at the top of the entire base pattern and take it out, thus ushering in the expected major bull market.

Rex Resources is, therefore, much liked here and is rated an Immediate Strong Buy for all time horizons.
