APOLLO SILVER CONGRATULATES EQUINOX GOLD ON FAST-41 PERMITTING

Apollo Silver Corp. has congratulated Equinox Gold Corp. on the recent acceptance of its Castle Mountain project into the United States' FAST-41 program, which is designed to streamline and derisk the permitting process. Castle Mountain is located just 165 kilometres from Apollo's Calico silver and barite project both situated in San Bernardino county, California.

Ross McElroy, president and chief executive officer of Apollo, commented: "This news speaks to the diligence of the Equinox team in advancing their project to this stage. Crucially for our Calico project in San Bernardino county, which hosts one of the largest undeveloped silver deposits in North America, this also highlights the government's determination to accelerate domestic mine development."
