Highlights:
- Continued high-grade drill results returned in step-out holes at the Trinity Zone.
- 3.55% REO(1) over 116.0 m, incl. 4.75% REO over 22.9 m (RIFT26-024).
- 2.35% REO over 171.5 m, incl. 4.07% REO over 37.0 m (RIFT26-022).
- Results include the longest intervals of >4.00% REO on the Project to date and support the presence of a higher-grade core within the Trinity Zone.
- Trinity Zone extended approximately 200 m down-dip to the west.
- Approximately 37 holes (24,000 m) have been completed to date with assay results for 13 holes (~8,000 m) pending and drilling still ongoing at site.
Apex Critical Metals Corp. (“Apex” or the “Company”) (CSE: APXC | OTCQX: APXCF | FWB: KL9 | Euronext Access Paris: MLAPX), a mineral exploration company focused on advancing its strategic 100%-controlled Rift Rare Earth Project within the Elk Creek Carbonatite Complex in southeastern Nebraska, U.S.A., is pleased to report the assay results from drillholes RIFT26-020 through RIFT26-024.
Sean Charland, CEO of Apex Critical Metals, commented: “The results from western step-out drillholes RIFT26-022 and RIFT26-024 mark an exciting milestone for the project, representing material intersections of greater than 4.00% REO and further validation of the broader mineralized Trinity Zone along our primary E-W drill fences. Identifying additional rare earth magnet feedstock beyond the one producer in North America is a national priority in the United States and results from our 2026 drill program at the Rift Rare Earth Project continue to demonstrate a significant grade and scale profile.”
To date, the Company has had consistent success defining the Trinity Zone along two primary E-W drill fences, which currently span approximately 600 m east-west and 100 m north-south with continuous mineralization between and beyond the two fences (see Figure 1 and news release dated August 12, 2026). Apex is currently prioritizing drilling to the east along these fence lines to define the eastern extent of the Trinity Zone ahead of the Company’s planned mineral resource estimate (MRE) by the end of Q1/2027.
