A total of 32 drillholes have been completed to date with assays still pending for 18 completed holes.Trinity Zone is now defined over an approximate 400 m N-S strike length and 200 m down-dip with strongly mineralized intervals ranging from 80 to 150 m, which continue to demonstrate strong continuity of high-grade REO mineralizationThe Trinity Zone remains open in all directions.Sean Charland, CEO of Apex Critical Metals, commented: "The results from these step-out drillholes, including our best grade x width results south of the discovery area, continues to demonstrate the extension and expansion potential of the upper high-grade REO horizon (Trinity Zone). The growing mineralized footprint and consistency observed from assay results to-date increases confidence in the shallow west-dipping Trinity Zone and ability to deliver a strong inaugural mineral resource estimate in Q1/2027. With a significant number of assays still pending and drilling ongoing, the Company is well positioned to build upon the early successes from our 2026 drill campaign."
