Amex Announces Discovery of New High Grade Gold Structure Returning 31.87 g/t Au over 5.10 m on Perron

 

Amex Exploration Inc. ("Amex or the Company") (TSXV:AMX)(FRA:MX0)(OTCQX:AMXEF) is pleased to announce the discovery of a new high-grade gold structure by drilling an intersection returning 31.87 gt Au over 5.10 metres on a new target area on its flagship Perron property (Table 1). The drill intersection is located approximately 650 metres north-west of the High Grade Zone (HGZ) and 500 metres north-east of the Grey Cat Zone (GCZ) that represents a new gold-bearing area on the property, as shown in Figures 1 and 2

 

Jacques Trottier, PhD Executive Chairman of Amex said, "This new high-grade gold area is a game changer for the Perron project. This discovery demonstrates the tremendous upside of the Perron Property as it lies in an area that we had interpreted as being highly perspective but till now had remained untested. There are many more such targets on the Perron property."

 

Trottier continued, "This discovery also clearly shows that not only are the main structural contacts of the Beaupré Rhyolite Bloc (BRB) (namely the Normetal Fault to the North and the Perron Fault to the South), gold mineralized structures, but also many of the other major structural features located inside the BRB may also be gold bearing. That by itself is major milestone and has very positive implications for the Perron Project."

 

The gold mineralization encountered in diamond drillhole PEX-21-041 is associated with quartz veining, quartz-carbonate breccias, silica flooding and strong chlorite-carbonates-biotite alterations, as shown in figure 3. Occurrence of sphalerite, pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite are observed together with a significant amounts of visible native gold grains within the gold-bearing structures. The veining and silicified intervals shows several changes in core axes indicating that the area is possibly folded. As for the HGZ and the GCZ, this new gold interval intersected in hole PEX-21-041 is located at the margin of an enclosed mafic body hosted in the Beaupré rhyolite. The orientation of the intersected gold bearing structures are unknown as there is only a single pierce point.

 

Hole PEX-21-041 was drilled to test perturbed east-west magnetic lineament that was expected to be a demagnetized mafic intrusive inside the Beaupré Block (Figure 2). Amex consulting geologists are planning an aggressive follow-up drilling program around PEX-21-041 to search for the extension and to better understand the geometry of this new mineralized gold structure.

 

As a reminder Amex is currently drilling a fully funded 300,000 m drill program with 10 drill rigs in operation at the Perron Property, with a focus on the Eastern Gold Zone, comprising of the High Grade Zone and the Denise Zone. Of these 10 rigs two drill rigs are now assigned to exploration follow up of this new discovery target.

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 blank or standard every 10 samples on average, in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples accredited by Laboratoire Expert during the analytical process. Gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption and values over 3 ppm Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with finish by gravimetry by Laboratoire Expert Inc, Rouyn-Noranda. Samples containing visible gold mineralization are analyzed by metallic sieve. For additional quality assurance and quality control, all samples were crushed to 90% less than 2 mm prior to pulverization, in order to homogenize samples which may contain coarse gold. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration.

 

The Qualified Persons have not completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the Property, particularly in regards to historical drill results. However, the Qualified Persons believe 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.
