Amex Reports High Grade Zone Definition Drilling Results Up to 70.92 G/T Au Over 3.90 m and 25.12 G/T Au Over 4.95 m

Amex Exploration Inc. ("Amex or the Company") (TSXV:AMX)(FRA:MX0)(OTCQX:AMXEF) is pleased to report a number of drill results focused on definition 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

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. Highlights are detailed below, and a complete list of results is available in Table 1 and presented in Figure 2. In addition to the results detailed below, Amex is awaiting results on over 21,000 samples at two labs from holes targeting the HGZ, Denise, and Grey Cat Zone, as well as regional exploration drilling.

Highlights:

  • High Grade Zone - near surface
    • 70.92 g/t Au over 3.90 metres, including 367.50 g/t Au over 0.60 metres, at a vertical depth of approximately 160 metres in hole PE-21-313.
    • 24.71 g/t Au over 2.45 metres, including 100.26 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, at a vertical depth of approximately 190 metres in hole PE-21-306.
    • 20.84 g/t Au over 3.40 metres, including 131.37 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, at a vertical depth of approximately 155 metres in hole PE-21-299.
    • 4.77 g/t Au over 12.00 metres at a vertical depth of approximately 195 metres in hole PE-21-309.
    • 3.80 g/t Au over 8.95 metres at a vertical depth of approximately 190 metres in hole PE-21-316.
  • High Grade Zone - at depth
    • 25.12 g/t Au over 4.95 metres, including 104.49 g/t Au over 0.80 metres, at a vertical depth of approximately 1,055 metres in hole PE-21-287W1.

Jacques Trottier, PhD Executive Chairman of Amex said, "Today's results are largely focused on definition drilling of the upper portion of the High Grade Zone. We continue to intercept very high grade gold mineralization over favourable widths at shallow depths, which both confirm and exceed upon our internal geological and mineralization model (Figure 3). We also continue to intercept high grade gold at depth as evidenced by hole PE-21-287W1 which intercepted 25.12 g/t Au over 4.95 m at a depth of over one kilometre vertically."

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.

Top Stories This Week: Gold Price Smashes Through US$2,400, What's Going On?

It was another record-breaking week for gold, which surged past US$2,400 per ounce for the first time ever.

Some market watchers are pointing to safe-haven demand as the reason for the surge as tensions rise in the Middle East — concerns that Iran will launch an attack on Israel have been described as "credible" and "viable."

Other experts think there are less obvious factors at play — activity in the options market and Comex net managed money are a couple that have been mentioned. But many are suggesting that we just don't know what's happening yet.

5 Biggest Gold ETFs in 2024

Gold exchange-traded funds, or gold ETFs, have risen in popularity among investors who want precious metals exposure.

ETFs are similar to mutual funds in that they track assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies or commodities; a key difference is that ETFs can be bought and sold on exchanges, making them widely accessible. They provide considerable flexibility in implementing various investment strategies and in building investment portfolios.

Gold ETFs are fairly common today, and are a good choice for investors who want to invest in precious metals without trading gold futures or owning physical gold, such as gold coins or bars.
