Amex Reports Multiple High Grade Gold Drill ResultsUp to 17.89 g/t Au over 8.40 meters from the HGZ at Perron

Amex Exploration Inc. ("Amex"or the"Company") (TSXV:AMX)(FRA:MX0)(OTCQX:AMXEF)is pleased to report a number of high grade drill results focused on expansion and definition of the High Grade Zone ("HGZ") of the Eastern Gold Zone ("EGZ") of the Perron Gold Project, Quebec

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.

Don Hansen: Gold, Silver Price Potential Not Just Hype, History Backs Up Gains

Private investor Don Hansen has honed his resource sector investment approach for more than 20 years, and he shared his latest research in a conversation with the Investing News Network.

He discussed the relationship between the gold price and US money supply from 1970 to the present, showing how they diverged in previous bull markets and explaining what this historic precedent can tell investors.

"The interesting thing is that most of gains in these bull markets is in the last two or three years. And I think we are at the beginning of that period, which is why I think there's so much potential for gold and silver investors," Hansen explained.

Gold Price Update: Q1 2024 in Review

The gold price hit record levels in the first three months of 2024. Opening the period on January 2 at US$2,041.20 per ounce, the yellow metal was coming off previous highs set in December 2023.

Gold remained rangebound for the first two months of the year, staying above the US$2,000 level until it briefly broke through support in the middle of February, falling to its quarterly low of US$1,991.98 on February 13.

Following this low, gold began a slow climb toward the start of March, ultimately soaring to a quarterly high of US$2,251.37 on March 31. Gold has continued to move since then, briefly passing US$2,400 on April 12.

What Makes a World-class Gold Deposit? (Updated 2024)

The world holds several hundred active gold mines, but not all are created equal.

The world’s largest gold operation by production is Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX,NYSE:GOLD) and Newmont's (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) Nevada Gold Mines joint venture in the US. An important source of gold, the mining complex is comprised of 10 underground mines and 12 surface mines, including the famous Cortez and Goldstrike mines.

Apart from size, what makes a world-class gold deposit? Various characteristics must be considered when determining the status of a gold deposit, including deposit type, average grade and mining and processing costs. Read on to learn more about those three factors and how they can be used to identify world-class gold deposits.
