CORRECTION: Amex Expands HGZ by over 275 metres to 1,100 metres Vertically and Reports Multiple High Grade Intercepts Including 14.07 g/t Au over 9.75 metres

The correction is to the title of the release, corrected to 14.07 g/t Au over 9.75 m, previously the Company stated 14.07 g/t over 8.75 m. In addition, Amex has made a correction to the interpretation of the HGZ paragraph.

Amex Exploration Inc. ("Amex or the Company") (TSX-V:AMX) (FRA:MX0) (OTCQX:AMXEF) is pleased to report significant vertical depth expansion of the High Grade Zone (HGZ) of the Eastern Gold Zone, of the Perron property in northwestern Quebec, Canada. (Figure 1) The Company is reporting substantial high-grade gold mineralization in multiple drill hole intersections from the HGZ as detailed below and in Table 1

Highlight results from the HGZ include: (Figure 2)

  • Hole PE-20-187 intersected 3.85 metres of 25.04 g/t Au at a vertical depth of approximately 1,100 metres.
  • Hole PE-20-187W1 intersected 7.65 metres of 7.13 g/t Au at a vertical depth of approximately 1,070 metres.
  • Hole PE-20-190 intersected 9.75 metres of 14.07 g/t Au at a vertical depth of approximately 950 metres.
  • Hole PEM-20-004 intersected 11.70 metres of 4.88 g/t Au at a vertical depth of approximately 230 metres. PEM-20-004 was drilled as large diameter PQ size core which provided substantially more rock mass than typical NQ size drill core for assaying and offers a more accurate representation of the gold mineralization.

Interpretation of the HGZ now suggests:

Gold mineralization has been traced over 350 metres laterally, from near surface to over 1.1 km vertically and averages approximately 7 metres of width (core length) with a maximum identified strike length of 150 metres of the zone at depth.

Jacques Trottier, PhD Executive Chairman of Amex said, "Since discovery, my team and I have been convinced that the HGZ is a robust mineralized system that extends to significant depths. With these drill holes we have confirmed that the system carries high grade gold to depth greater than 1 kilometre vertically and is continually strengthening as we go deeper. Of particular interest to me, is that the highest grade core of the system, (i.e. with a metal factor greater than 100 g/t Au by meter as shown in pink on Figure 2) is more than double the vertical distance at depth in comparison to the near-surface portion of the HGZ. In addition, we have completed step out drilling at depth along strike and have identified significant visible gold mineralization, which will expand the strike length of the system. We look forward to the receipt of these assays and to continuing to grow this continuous high gold system."

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.

Lawrence Lepard: "Big Print" Coming — Fully Expect US$5,000 Gold, US$200,000 Bitcoin

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Lawrence Lepard, managing director at EMA, voiced his thoughts on the outlook for gold and Bitcoin as the debt doom loop intensifies in the US.

"I call it a doom loop — it's a vicious circle in the wrong direction, which I believe will ultimately lead to the government having to say, 'Okay, this isn't going to work. We are going to institute yield curve control or QE, or we're going to buy the bonds,'" he explained on the sidelines of the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Lepard believes it's important to hold both gold and Bitcoin, noting that the only wrong allocation is zero.

Chris Temple: Gold's Next Leg Higher, Plus Uranium and Natural Gas in 2025

Chris Temple, founder, editor and publisher of the National Investor, outlined the main factors he sees impacting the gold price heading into 2025, saying the yellow metal will undoubtedly move higher.

In his view, its rise will come as market participants realize how many problems the US economy is facing.

"I think that once that reality sets in, gold will get its next big lease on life and the stock market is going to bog down. I think we're going to see a lot of rotation in the market that will start to favor real assets and real value — away from everybody chasing the same relative handful of stocks as we've seen," Temple explained.

WGC: Gold to Face Complex Drivers in 2025, Price Likely to Cool After Record-Breaking Year

The World Gold Council (WGC) has released its 2025 gold outlook, highlighting various macroeconomic factors, geopolitical risks and central bank activity as pivotal forces influencing demand and prices.

While 2024 saw gold achieve a stellar performance with a 28 percent annual increase, the outlook for 2025 is characterized by a mix of opportunities and challenges stemming from both global and regional developments.

The yellow metal has benefited from its historical role as a hedge against uncertainty, but the WGC forecasts that its performance next year will depend on other key variables as well.

Increased M&A Activity a Win-Win for Gold Sector, Brightstar Resources Exec Says

Following the completion of its acquisition of Alto Metals, Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) plans to conduct 50,000 metres of reverse-circulation and diamond drilling, beginning next year, at Alto Metals' approximately 900 square kilometre Sandstone gold project in Western Australia.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Brightstar Managing Director Alex Rovira outlined the next steps for merging Alto Metals with Brightstar’s assets and the strategy for moving forward.

“From an exploration perspective … it's really focusing on the Sandstone package. We will do near-mine brownfields exploration at our Menzies and Laverton gold projects. And really, the aspiration there is to take a number of those mines toward development decisions,” he said.
