Amex Reports Copper-Rich VMS Intercepts with Values of up to 2.86% CuEq over 6.40 m Including 4.81% CuEq over 1.60 m from QF Zone

Amex Reports Copper-Rich VMS Intercepts with Values of up to 2.86% CuEq over 6.40 m Including 4.81% CuEq over 1.60 m from QF Zone

 

Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce assay results from new follow-up drillholes on the copper rich volcanogenic massive sulphide ('VMS') QF Zone. The QF Zone occurs along the Normétal Mine Horizon which is a kilometric tuffaceous unit that hosts the nearby past-producing Normétal Mine as shown in Figure 1. See Figures 2 & 3 for a plan map and longitudinal section of the drill intercepts and Figure 4 for photos of the polymetallic sulfide mineralization.

 

Highlights include:

 
  • PEX-21-083W1 intersected 2.86% CuEq comprising 2.17% Cu, 0.90% Zn, 0.28 g/t Au and 18.84 g/t Ag over 6.40 m including 4.81% CuEq comprising 4.25% Cu, 0.18% Zn, 0.36 g/t Au and 32.44 g/t over 1.60 m at a vertical depth of approximately 570 m;
  •  
  • PEX-22-108 intersected 2.08% CuEq comprising 1.84% Cu, 0.17% Zn, 0.13 g/t Au and 11.77 g/t Ag over 7.10 m, including 6.08% CuEq comprising 5.43% Cu, 0.27% Zn, 0.40g/t Au and 35.39g/t Ag over 1.90 m at a vertical depth of approximately 560 m; and
  •  
  • PEX-21-098W2 intersected 6.03% CuEq comprising 5.37% Cu, 0.39% Zn, 0.36 g/t Au and 33.58 g/t Ag over 2.20 m at a vertical depth of approximately 610 m.
  •  

The QF Zone grades and widths compares favourably to the neighbouring Normetal Mine which produced approximately 10.1 million tonnes grading 2.24% Cu, 5.41% Zn, 0.53 g/t Au, and 44.45 g/t Ag 1937 to 1975, with development down to a depth of approximately 2.40 km (SIGEOM - Mine Normétal).

 

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration, commented, "Today's results illustrate that the copper rich core of QF zone is becoming more robust at the 600 m level and shows a very good eastern lateral extension with copper values of about 2% over a thickness of approximately 4 to 5 meters. The apparent gap of intercepts and borehole geophysical anomalies between the surface and the 600 m level may simply be due to the absence of drilling in this area. Additionally, the QF VMS discovery is still open in all directions and additional work including more borehole geophysics and drilling will be needed to fully evaluate the real potential of this VMS discovery at Normétal."

Qualified Person

 

Maxime Bouchard P.Geo. M.Sc.A., (OGQ 1752) and Jérôme Augustin P.Geo. Ph.D., (OGQ 2134), Independent Qualified Persons as defined by Canadian NI 43-101 standards, have reviewed and approved the geological information reported in this news release. The drilling campaign and the quality control program have been planned and supervised by Maxime Bouchard and Jérôme Augustin. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration. The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of one blank, one standard and one duplicate every 10 samples, in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples accredited by ALS Canada Ltd. during the analytical process. Additionally, sample weight is taken prior shipment to validate sample identity. Gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption. Zinc, Copper and Silver values are estimated by four acid digestion multi elements Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), ME-ICP61. Zinc values over 1%, copper values over 1% and silver values over 100 g/t are estimated by four acid digestion ICP-AES, OG62. The Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the Property, particularly in regards to historical drill results. However, the Qualified Person believes that drilling and analytical results were completed to industry standard practices. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Property but may not be representative of expected results.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
