Amex Expands the Core of the High Grade Zone Near Surface at Perron With Intercepts of Up to 36.86 G/T Au Over 13.10 Metres, Including 529.06 G/T Au Over 0.75 Metre From Hole Pe-21-329

HGZ Highlights - Near Surface

  • 36.86 g/t Au over 13.10 metres, including 78.47 g/t Au over 0.65 metres and 529.06 g/t Au over 0.75 metre, for a metal factor of 483 at a vertical depth of approximately 200 metres in hole PE-21-329. This intersect expands and improves the richest part of the High Grade Zone at the ~200 metres level.
  • 15.18 g/t Au over 14.85 metres, including 195.79 g/t Au over 0.50 metre and 161.64 g/t Au over 0.65 metre, for a metal factor of 225 at a vertical depth of approximately 175 metres in hole PE-21-338

HGZ Highlights - At Depth

  • 38.07 g/t Au over 2.60 metres, including 177.20 g/t Au over 0.55 metre, for a metal factor of 99 at a vertical depth of approximately 450 metres in hole PE-21-307W1

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. Click here to hear more from Jacques Trottier, Executive Chairman, Live from the Amex Core Shack

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 is 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 (VG) at the HGZ.

Jacques Trottier, Executive Chairman of Amex commented, "We continue to see these super high grade results in the core part of the HGZ. PE-21-329 is in fact the third highest grade intersect on the project with a metal factor of 483 and is surrounded by the other very high grade holes. (Figure 3) We are seeing a jewel box building in the heart of the HGZ near surface from about 100 m from surface down to about the -300 m level. These results will clearly have a very positive impact on the number of ounces and the overall grade on the resource calculation that we will be initiating at the end of the year."

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.
