Amex Expands Multiple Gold Zones at the Perron Gold Project

In This Article:

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - January 9, 2025) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that recent drilling has continued to expand the footprint of multiple zones at its flagship Perron Project, located in northwestern Abitibi, Quebec. As seen in today's results, the Company continues to find high-grade gold across multiple gold zones, successfully expanding them either along strike or at depth (see Figures 1-8). For a full list of today's drill results and collar locations, please see Tables 1-4 below.

Since obtaining the economic stopes and open pits from the mine plan detailed in the Perron Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) (see November 13, 2024 press release), drill hole planning has been further optimized by adding the criteria of adding economically viable ounces to existing zones.

Drill Highlights Include:

Denise Zone:

  • 35.82 g/t Au over 1.20 m, including 60.82 g/t Au over 0.70 m at a vertical depth of ~280 m - hole PE-24-818

Upper High Grade Zone:

  • 69.03 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a vertical depth of ~730 m - hole PE-21-386W2

E2 Zone:

  • 5.75 g/t Au over 2.40 m, including 22.63 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a vertical depth of ~105 m - hole PE-24-819

  • 6.02 g/t Au over 3.00 m, including 10.83 g/t Au over 1.50 m at a vertical depth of ~45 m - hole PE-24-817

Grey Cat Zone:

  • 49.75 g/t Au over 0.60 m at a vertical depth of ~50 m - hole PEG-24-834

Gratien Zone:

  • 5.71 g/t Au over 3.80 m, including 18.15 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a vertical depth of ~230 m - hole PEG-24-826

  • 7.44 g/t Au over 2.00 m, including 12.21 g/t Au over 1.00 m at a vertical depth of ~195 m - hole PEG-24-828

JT Zone

  • 0.61 g/t Au over 162.00 m, including 1.74 g/t Au over 21.00 m at a vertical depth of ~500 m - hole PEX-24-266

  • 0.72 g/t Au over 123.00 m, including 27.12 g/t Au over 1.50 m at a vertical depth of ~20 m - hole PEX-24-265

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "Since receiving the block model from the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and subsequently the mine plan from the PEA, our geological team has been able to significantly refine the drill planning process with the goal of increasing economic ounces on the project within the known gold zones. Today's results, as illustrated in Figures 8 and 9, indicate a strong potential for these intercepts to contribute additional ounces to the mine plan."

Jonathan Gagné, Vice President of Project Development added, "In the recently released PEA, a minimum diluted mining width of 3.7 m was applied along with a cut-off grade of 1.50 g/t representing a metal factor of 5.55 (g/t Au * m). With the exception of the JT Zone where a bulk mining scenario could be envisioned, these high-grade intercepts, have all shown metal factors significantly above this PEA threshold."
