Apollo Expands Project Team; Receives Drill Permit for Calico Silver Project

Apollo Silver Corp. (" Apollo " or the " Company ") (TSX.V:APGO, OTCQB:APGOF, Frankfurt:6ZF0) is pleased to announce a number of positive developments at its Calico Silver Project ("Calico" or the "Calico Project") located in San Bernardino County, California.

Highlights:

  • Appointment of Senior Project Manager: Tony Gonzales, P.Geo., with over 35 years of mineral exploration experience, including leading roles at BHP and Fission Uranium, joins as Senior Project Manager with a focus on advancing Calico.
  • Langtry Option Extension: The Company has executed an amendment to one of its Option to Purchase Agreements for the Strachan portion of the Langtry Property, extending its right to acquire up to 100% of that portion of the property by an additional nine (9) years.
  • Waterloo Permit Extension: The Company has received approval for a third extension of the Temporary Use Permit ("TUP") for the Waterloo Property, which allows for exploration drilling activities for the next twelve (12) months.
  • Strengthening of Technical Advisors: The Company has engaged George Kenline, PG, CHg, CEG, a California-licensed Engineering Geologist and Hydrogeologist, and Genesg, a consulting firm with global expertise specializing in permitting, stakeholder relations, sustainability, and ESG leadership, to its technical advisory team for Calico.

Appointment of Senior Project Manager

To support the advancement of Calico, Apollo is also pleased to announce the appointment of Tony Gonzales, P. Geo., as Senior Project Manager.

Tony brings more than 35 years of mineral exploration experience, including nearly two decades with mining giant BHP. He was instrumental in advancing the EKATI Diamond Mine from exploration through to production, holding senior positions such as Senior Exploration Geologist, Technical Specialist (R&D), and Superintendent of Exploration.

As Project Manager at Fission Energy, Tony oversaw advanced exploration of the J Zone uranium deposit at Waterbury Lake. He later served as Senior Project Manager for Fission Uranium, contributing to both the discovery and advancement of the award-winning Triple-R deposit. Tony was also a key member of the team that discovered F3 Uranium's JR-Zone in Northern Saskatchewan.

Ross McElroy, President and CEO of Apollo, commented, " Calico consists of a major, high confidence silver resource surrounded by one of the most prospective land packages in the region. Thanks to the success of prior work programs, we already have an exciting list of exploration targets, including high-grade silver, gold, and barite. Now, with the appointment of Tony Gonzales, we have one of the industry's top exploration team leaders to take Calico into its next phase of growth."

Langtry Option Extension

The Company has entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its Option to Purchase Agreement with David K. Strachan as Trustee of the Bruce & Elizabeth Strachan Revocable Living Trust dated July 25, 2007 ("Strachan"). Under the original agreement, the Company was required to make a payment equal to the greater of US$5.2 million or the spot price of 220,000 troy ounces of silver, less any option payments made to date, by December 24, 2025, in order to acquire 100% interest in 20 patented and 2 unpatented mineral claims (the "Strachan Property") within the Langtry Property, part of the Company's larger Calico Project. The Langtry deposit, the majority of which is located on the Strachan Property, has a 2022 inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 19.3 M tonnes at a grade of 81 g/t Ag for a total of 50 M oz of Ag using a 50 g/t silver cut-off (see news release dated February 9, 2022).

The Amendment extends the option period expiry date from December 24, 2025 to December 24, 2034; increases the purchase price to the greater of US$7.0 million or the spot price of 250,000 troy ounces of silver (the "Amended Purchase Price"), less any option payments made to date; and provides for annual option maintenance payments to be made over the duration of the eight-year extension totaling US$3.9 million, all of which can be credited against the Amended Purchase Price upon exercise.

To date, the Company has made a total of US$500,000 in option maintenance payments, which can be credited against the Amended Purchase Price upon exercise.

Waterloo Permit Extension

The Company has received approval from the San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department for its third extension of its TUP, allowing the Company to conduct exploration drilling at Waterloo for the next twelve (12) months

Technical Advisory Additions

The Company has entered into an Advisory Agreement with George Kenline to act as an independent technical advisor to the Company. Mr. Kenline is a California licensed Engineering Geologist and Hydrogeologist with extensive experience in environmental review processes. In particular, he has deep expertise in the permitting of mineral resource extraction, water supply development, reclamation, and habitat restoration in the County of San Bernardino, California. For over 15 years, he led as the Mining Engineering Geologist/Environmental Compliance Manager for the San Bernardino County's Land Use Services Department Mining Section as the County's Mining/Engineering Geologist.

Additionally, Apollo has also strengthened its project development team by engaging Genesg, a consulting firm with global expertise in permitting, stakeholder engagement, sustainability, and ESG Leadership, to support the Company as it advances Calico towards project development.

Locksley Resources Limited  Significant Enlargement of Exploration Program

Locksley Resources Limited Significant Enlargement of Exploration Program

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Locksley Resources Ltd (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) is pleased to advise that the Company is advancing a significant expansion to its exploration program, given the substantial increase in its landholding abutting MP Materials and identification of additional historical workings across the project areas.

Highlights

- Post the substantial expansion of Locksley's claim portfolio, the Company has determined that it will significantly increase the scale and accelerate the pace of its exploration program

- The expanded program will be focused upon exploring both the existing antimony and rare earths elements prospects, plus targeting additional commodities that have been identified on Locksley's larger land holding

- Post the evaluation of recent field activities Locksley will provide the market with a detailed outline of the expanded exploration program

- A substantial historical shaft has been discovered during a surface geological and structural mapping campaign recently undertaken at Mojave

- Shaft depth and the extent of underground workings is being evaluated, but is estimated at >15m and the Company is determining the composition of the commodities that were mined

- Vein orientation striking NNE, similar to that at the Desert Antimony Prospect, supports the developing geological interpretation of multiple NNE striking structures across the Mojave Project

- Grab samples collected from the prospect being submitted for laboratory analysis

- Locksley hosts broker and analyst site visit at Mojave

Expanded and Accelerated Exploration Program

Given the combination of the significant increased land holding and the potential for other commodities to be present (as confirmed from the discovery of an additional shaft on the Mojave Project), Locksley has elected to expand its exploration activities. The Company has commenced the planning process for these expanded activities and will advance these undertakings in the coming weeks.

Geological Mapping & Historical Mining

Locksley has recently undertaken multiple rounds of field mapping to increase the understanding of the Mojave Project. During the most recent field mapping campaign, Locksley's geologists have discovered a historical shaft in the core of the North Block whilst mapping the area for REE potential.

The extent of the workings seen in the vicinity indicates that a substantial shaft (estimated potentially >15m depth) has been mined. Initial grab sampling has been completed with the aim of determining what commodities were extracted. These newly discovered historical workings provide a new exploration target (named Hendricks) for Locksley.

The broader geological mapping has been completed, and the prioritised mapping of the NE and SW extensions from the Desert Antimony Mine, the western limits of the North Block claims (which lie due north of the Mountain Pass Mine) and the North Block REE target (where the shaft was discovered). The field geologists are compiling their mapping data and will incorporate the findings into the broader geological understanding and targeting for a follow up field sampling campaign.

Broker and Analyst Site Visit

Locksley hosted a site visit for brokers and analysts at the Mojave Project on Saturday, 13th September, following the substantial increase in its landholding abutting MP Materials. The visit provided key stakeholders with first hand exposure to the scale of Locksley's expanded tenure and the planned drilling at the Desert Antimony Mine and El Campo. The field trip underscored the strong geological potential across the project portfolio and highlighted the Company's commitment to advancing exploration and development activities in one of the most strategic critical mineral regions in the United States.

Pat Burke, Chairman of Locksley Resources, commented:

"The substantial expansion of our landholding within the Mojave Critical Minerals Corridor marks a pivotal step in Locksley's growth. The site visit with brokers and analysts provided an excellent opportunity to showcase not only the scale of our tenure, but also the strategic importance of our position alongside MP Materials. With the U.S. Government increasingly focused on securing domestic supply chains for critical minerals, Locksley is well placed to deliver a mine-to-market solution for antimony and rare earths. We look forward to progressing our exploration program and building long-term value for our shareholders."

About Locksley Resources Limited:

Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) is an ASX listed explorer focused on critical minerals in the United States of America. The Company is actively advancing exploration across two key assets: the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley Resources aims to generate shareholder value through strategic exploration, discovery and development in this highly prospective mineral region.

Mojave Project

Located in the Mojave Desert, California, the Mojave Project comprises over 250 claims across two contiguous prospect areas, namely, the North Block/Northeast Block and the El Campo Prospect. The North Block directly abuts claims held by MP Materials, while El Campo lies along strike of the Mountain Pass Mine and is enveloped by MP Materials' claims, highlighting the strong geological continuity and exploration potential of the project area.

In addition to rare earths, the Mojave Project hosts the historic "Desert Antimony Mine", which last operated in 1937. Despite the United States currently having no domestic antimony production, demand for the metal remains high due to its essential role in defense systems, semiconductors, and metal alloys. With significant surface sample results, the Desert Mine prospect represents one of the highest-grade known antimony occurrences in the U.S.

Locksley's North American position is further strengthened by rising geopolitical urgency to diversify supply chains away from China, the global leader in both REE & antimony production. With its maiden drilling program planned, the Mojave Project is uniquely positioned to align with U.S. strategic objectives around critical mineral independence and economic security.

Tottenham Project

Locksley's Australian portfolio comprises the advanced Tottenham Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales, focused on VMS-style mineralisation
