Apollo Silver (TSXV:APGO,OTCQB:APGOF,FSE:6ZF0) is a silver-focused exploration company advancing a dual-asset strategy through two high-potential projects in North America: the Calico Silver Project in California, USA, and the Cinco de Mayo project in Chihuahua, Mexico. Both projects are situated in mining-friendly jurisdictions with robust infrastructure and a history of significant exploration work.
At Calico, Apollo Silver advances the Waterloo deposit through geological modeling, barite resource definition, and engineering studies. Calico hosts 110 Moz of silver (measured and indicated) and 51 Moz (inferred), with recent test work producing a 94.6 percent barite concentrate.
In Mexico, the Cinco de Mayo project offers rare optionality, featuring a historical inferred resource of 154 Moz silver equivalent (385 g/t) and a high-impact discovery opportunity at the Pegaso Zone. Under an option agreement with MAG Silver, Apollo is executing a 20,000-meter drill program to earn full ownership of the project.
Project locationsThe Calico Silver Project, located 15 km from Barstow, California, includes the adjacent Waterloo and Langtry properties. Calico hosts a combined resource of 110 Moz silver (measured and indicated, 100 g/t) and 51 Moz silver (inferred, 77 g/t). The shallow, laterally extensive deposit offers strong geologic continuity and a low 1.1:1 strip ratio, supporting a potential low-impact open-pit operation. Recent drilling confirmed a 95 percent conversion rate from inferred to measured and indicated resources at Waterloo.

Apollo Silver is advancing two high-impact silver projects in premier North American jurisdictions—California and Mexico—offering investors a unique combination of scale, optionality, and leverage to silver and critical mineral demand.
Apollo Silver (TSXV:APGO,OTCQB:APGOF,FSE: 6ZF0) is a silver-focused company advancing a dual-asset strategy centered on two high-impact projects in North America: the Calico silver project in California, USA and the Cinco de Mayo project in Chihuahua, Mexico. Both are located in mining-friendly jurisdictions with strong infrastructure and significant historical work.
Project locations
At Calico, Apollo Silver is advancing the Waterloo deposit toward development through geological modeling, barite resource definition, and engineering studies. Calico boasts 110 Moz of silver (measured and indicated) and 51 Moz of silver (inferred), and recent test work has produced a 94.6 percent barite concentrate, supporting the asset’s potential as a US critical minerals supplier.
In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo offers rare optionality with a historical inferred resource of 154 Moz silver equivalent (385 g/t), and a potentially game-changing discovery at the Pegaso Zone. The project is under an option agreement between Apollo Silver and MAG SIlver, wherein Apollo Silver will complete a 20,000-meter drill program to convert the option to an acquisition of the Cinco de Mayo. Apollo Silver’s strategy is underpinned by disciplined capital allocation, high-impact exploration, and a proven ability to acquire and unlock value from high-quality assets—following a model similar to Prime Mining. With no debt, strong institutional backing, and an experienced team, Apollo Silver is well-positioned to deliver scalable, discovery-driven growth in a rising silver and critical minerals market.

The Calico silver project comprises two adjacent properties—Waterloo and Langtry—located in mining-friendly San Bernardino County, 15 km from Barstow, California. The combined resource at Calico includes 110 Moz of silver in the measured and indicated category (average grade: 100 g/t) and 51 Moz of silver in the inferred category with an average grade of 77 g/t. The deposit is shallow, laterally extensive, and exhibits excellent geologic continuity. A low strip ratio of 1.1:1 supports a potential open-pit operation with minimal environmental footprint. Drilling has demonstrated strong correlation between 2022 results and historical intercepts, underpinning a 95 percent conversion rate from inferred to measured and indicated categories at Waterloo.
Resources at Calico sit primarily on private land with vested mining rights, simplifying the path to permitting. Infrastructure is excellent: paved roads, power lines within 5 km, and proximity to the expanding Barstow rail terminal.
In addition to silver, Apollo Silver is evaluating Calico’s potential for gold and barite. Barite, a US critical mineral essential to oil and gas drilling, has demonstrated recoveries exceeding 94.6 percent purity in prior test work. A 1979 ASARCO historical estimate indicates 4.5 Mt of barite grading 13.4 percent. Ongoing 2025 work includes a barite resource estimate, investigating potential for additional gold mineralization, depending on results of preliminary work, followed up by a small drill program to test those findings.
Project location
Cinco de Mayo is a district-scale carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) system located in Chihuahua, Mexico along the same NW-SE structural trend that hosts some of the country’s largest silver and base metal deposits. The project was historically MAG Silver’s flagship asset, hosting a historical NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 154 Moz silver equivalent at an average grade of 386 g/t silver equivalent, including 132 g/t silver, 6.47 percent zinc, and 2.86 percent lead across the Jose Manto and Bridge Zone targets.
The site also includes the Pozo Seco deposit, which hosts an additional historical resource of 230,000 oz gold and 94 million pounds molybdenum, based on a 2010 technical report. Notably, a significant mineralized intercept—61 meters of massive sulphides—was drilled by MAG Silver in the Pegaso Zone beneath the known resource but never followed up due to social access issues.
Apollo Silver has secured an option to acquire the property from MAG Silver and is actively re-engaging with the local community to secure surface access to the property. A new, development-friendly ejido administration was elected in December 2024. The company is now pursuing a mutually beneficial and meaningful agreement with the local community for surface access rights to the Cinco de Mayo. The company will then execute a 20,000-meter drill campaign once access is secured. Under the option agreement with MAG Silver, Apollo Silver must secure access, drill 20,000 meters, and issue 19.99 percent of its common shares to complete its option to acquire Cinco de Mayo. Priority targets include Pegaso and expansion zones at Jose Manto. Metallurgical studies and engineering reviews are being considered as part of a future resource update.

Previously reported intercept of 162 g/t Ag, 15.5% Pb and 4.1% Zn over 3 metres interpreted to be the extension of the Curlew Vein from the Blackhawk Mine
Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV) (OTCQX: SLVDF) (FSE: 4YW) ("Silver Dollar" or the "Company") is pleased to report geologic modeling results correlating to the recently reported near-surface drilling discoveries at the Ranger-Page Project located in northern Idaho's prolific Coeur d'Alene Mining District.

Curlew Vein Extension
Geologic modeling of Silver Dollar's phase-1 exploration drilling results indicate that the Curlew Vein extends east from the Blackhawk Mine into the vicinity of the Wyoming Complex (Figure 1). The structural complexity of the area was likely the reason the Wyoming Complex proved to be a challenge for past producers on the property. Phase-1 drilling discovered mineralization in the footwall of the 96 Fault, which was the primary structure worked at the Wyoming Complex. Silver Dollar believes this footwall mineralization is the Curlew Vein and demonstrated its continuity between the Wyoming Complex and the Blackhawk Mine during Phase-1 exploration drilling (Figure 2).

The planning of near-term exploration activities is ongoing and includes:
Blackhawk (Curlew Vein)
Drill planning is underway to expand the Curlew Vein along strike, up and down dip of the known extent of the Blackhawk Mine. Upper Curlew exploration is relatively inexpensive and can be done from drill pads requiring minimal effort to establish. Further success exploring the uppermost Curlew Vein could justify deep exploration below the Blackhawk mine, which can be done via deep surface drilling programs, or underground drill pad development. The next phase of drilling should focus on expanding mineral continuity between the Phase-1 drilling (Figure-2) and the Blackhawk mine to the west.
West Buckeye
The West Buckeye target is a prominent polarization anomaly identified during the ground IP survey completed in 2022 (Figure 3). The anomaly is significant because it has a 260-metre dip extension, and the same polarization and resistivity response as the Curlew Vein discovery between the Blackhawk Mine and the Wyoming Complex. To validate West Buckeye for drilling, Silver Dollar plans to complete a geochemical survey over the anomaly, update geologic mapping and develop a budget to drill the target. West Buckeye exploration efforts can begin later this spring when the snow has melted from the target area and access is re-established.

Crown Point
Phase-1 Exploration drilling at Crown Point extended mineralization west of the historic mine workings by 100 metres (See news release of March 11, 2025). Geologic modeling, drilling, and trenching results indicate there are up to three veins present at Crown Point (Crown Point 1, 2 and 3 Veins) (Figure 4). Phase-1 drilling identified two of the three veins at Crown Point. To drill the third vein (Crown Point 3), a drilling platform to the south would be necessary. Exploration planning at Crown Point will focus on expanding the Crown Point veins down dip to the west, where the mineralization remains open for exploration drilling.

Omega and 85 Veins
The Omega and 85 Veins sit in the footwall of the Tony Vein, which was the primary ore host for the Page Mine. The Omega and 85 Veins were discovered below the 2,770 level of the Page Mine, and the up-dip extension of the veins have not been properly explored. Ongoing geologic modeling is expected to improve the vein projections of the Omega and 85 Veins, allowing Silver Dollar to prospect for the surface expression of the veins. If exploration work on this target is promising, Silver Dollar will include the Omega and 85 Veins in future exploration drill planning.
