APEX COMPLETES CRITICAL MINERALS DRILLING AT THE JERSEY-EMERALD PROPERTY

Apex Resources Inc. has completed a drilling program at its Jersey-Emerald property, located in Southern British Columbia.

Drilling was successfully completed on the road-accessible Jersey-Emerald property. A total of 938.5 metres was completed across five drill holes, with crews completing the work in a safe and environmentally sustainable way. The proximity of the property to the town of Salmo, approximately 20 kilometres by road, supported the high-efficiency realized for the drill program.

The primary targets of the 2025 drilling campaign were tungsten, zinc and bismuth mineralization, which are all listed in Canada's critical minerals list. Tungsten is especially an enticing target on the property as there was extensive exploration for the metal in the 1950s throughout the property. Many of these tungsten occurrences were subject to trenching or shallow drilling but are, in general, underexplored, leaving ample opportunity for discovery by modern exploration techniques. Ammonium paratungstate concentrate has also nearly doubled in price since it achieved a 12-year high in May, 2025.

Zinc mineralization was also a primary target of the drilling program as there remain gaps in the historical exploration where potential exists to further define and expand sphalerite (zinc sulphide) mineralization. The sphalerite mineralization at the historic Jersey mine is reported to be enriched in indium, a metal that was not appreciated during the production phase of the Jersey mine but is immensely important in the current market.

The company is eagerly anticipating the assay results and will provide a further update when they are received.
