Mr. McElroy holds a Bachelor of Science degree with a specialization in Geology from the University of Alberta, and is a registered professional geologist in Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories.

"I am excited to be joining Apollo as its new President and CEO at such a pivotal time in the Company's growth and development ," said Mr. McElroy. " Apollo is backed by a strong portfolio of silver assets and a highly capable team with a proven track record. I'm eager to build on that foundation and drive the Company toward its next phase of growth. I see a major opportunity to unlock significant value for shareholders as the Company advances towards becoming a leading silver developer in the Americas ."

Mr. Bowering added, " I am looking forward to working closely with Ross. Our ability to attract someone with Ross' expertise, energy and track record of value creation speaks volumes about the opportunity at Apollo. I believe he will have a transformative impact on the Company's future and all stakeholders will benefit greatly ."

Grant of Options
In connection with his appointment, Mr. McElroy has been granted an aggregate of 2,500,000 incentive stock options (the " Options ") pursuant to the Company's Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Options are exercisable at a price of $0.315 per common share, have a term of five years, and will vest over a 24-month period: one-third on the grant date, one-third after 12 months, and the balance after 24 months.
