Amex Drills Highest Grade Assay at Perron - Reports 79.22 g/t Gold over 6.15 Metres Including 929.24 g/t Gold over 0.50 Metres at the High Grade Zone of Perron

HGZ Highlights - Near Surface

  • 79.22 g/t Au over 6.15 metres , including 929.24 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, for a metal factor of 487 at a vertical depth of approximately 290 metres in hole PE-21-344

HGZ Highlights - At Depth

  • 15.04 g/t Au over 4.10 metres , including 70.27 g/t Au over 0.50 metres and 42.58 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, for a metal factor of 62 at a vertical depth of approximately 720 metres in hole PE-21-286W2

Amex Exploration Inc. ("Amex or the Company") (TSX-V:AMX)(FRA:MX0)(OTCQX:AMXEF) is pleased to report additional drill results focused on definition and expansion drilling of the High Grade Zone ("HGZ") of the Eastern Gold Zone ("EGZ") on the Perron Gold Project, Quebec. See Figure 1 for a plan view of the geology of the EGZ and the mineralized zones

Jacques Trottier, PhD Executive Chairman of Amex said, "Today's results are exciting for two specific reasons. Firstly, this is the highest individual assay grade ever reported on the property, 929.24 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, which was reported in hole PE-21-344. Secondly, hole PE-21-344 expands on the >100 gram-meter Metal Factor contour in the upper portion of the HGZ as shown in Figure 1 . This indicates that there is potentially much more of the ultra high grade mineralization in the HGZ, even in areas that appeared to be lower grade based on earlier drill holes."

Today's results are focused on definition drilling of the High Grade Zone as the Company works towards its maiden resource on the Perron Project. A complete list of results are available in Table 1 and presented in Figure 2 . See Figure 2 for the location of the pending holes as well as those containing visible gold at the HGZ.

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.
