Apex Critical Metals Mobilizes for Fully Funded Drill Program at Cap Project in Central British Columbia
Apex Critical Metals (OTCQB:APXCF) has initiated mobilization for a fully funded summer drill program at its Cap Project in British Columbia. The program will utilize a Hydracore 2000 heli-portable drill rig to test high-priority niobium and rare earth element targets across a 1.8 km mineralized trend.
The campaign will include up to 1,500 metres of helicopter-supported NQ core drilling. Previous surface work in 2024 yielded significant results, including 3.33% 狈产鈧侽鈧� from carbonatite outcrop samples and peak values of 1.21% total rare earth oxides (TREO). Historical drilling has shown intercepts of 0.51% 狈产鈧侽鈧� over 4.0 metres.
The Cap Project, located 85 km northeast of Prince George, hosts a rare carbonatite complex. Drilling is expected to commence by the end of July 2025, with necessary permits secured under a Multi-Year Area-Based exploration authorization.
Apex Critical Metals (OTCQB:APXCF) ha avviato la mobilitazione per un programma di perforazione estivo completamente finanziato presso il suo Progetto Cap in British Columbia. Il programma utilizzer脿 una perforatrice elicotterizzata Hydracore 2000 per testare obiettivi prioritari di niobio ed elementi delle terre rare lungo un trend mineralizzato di 1,8 km.
La campagna comprender脿 fino a 1.500 metri di perforazione NQ con supporto elicotteristico. I lavori superficiali precedenti nel 2024 hanno prodotto risultati significativi, tra cui 3,33% di 狈产鈧侽鈧� da campioni di carbonatite affiorante e valori massimi di 1,21% di ossidi totali di terre rare (TREO). Le perforazioni storiche hanno mostrato interruzioni di 0,51% di 狈产鈧侽鈧� su 4,0 metri.
Il Progetto Cap, situato a 85 km a nord-est di Prince George, ospita un raro complesso di carbonatite. Le perforazioni dovrebbero iniziare entro la fine di luglio 2025, con i permessi necessari ottenuti tramite un'autorizzazione esplorativa multi-annuale basata sull'area.

VANCOUVER, BC / / July 22, 2025 / Apex Critical Metals Corp. ("Apex" or the "Company") (CSE:APXC)(OTCQB:APXCF)(FWB:KL9), a Canadian exploration company focused on strategic critical metals, is pleased to announce the arrival of a Hydracore 2000 heli-portable drill rig with crews now mobilizing to the Cap Project in preparation for the Company's fully funded 2025 summer drill campaign.
The Cap Project, located 85 km northeast of Prince George, British Columbia, is host to a rare carbonatite complex with strong niobium and rare earth element (REE) mineralization. The upcoming program will include up to 1,500 metres of helicopter-supported NQ core drilling, targeting a 1.8-kilometre mineralized trend identified during the Company's 2024 exploration campaign.
Drill program preparations commenced earlier this month (see news release dated July 10, 2025), with support crews working on drill pad construction, which is now complete at the first two planned drillhole locations, with drilling expected to commence by the end of July.
Highlights from 2024 surface work include (See ):
3.33% 狈产鈧侽鈧� returned from carbonatite outcrop sample
Boulder samples of
1.45% and1.79% 狈产鈧侽鈧�
Niobium and REE in soil anomalies extending over a 1.8 km trend with peak value of
1.21% total rare earth oxides (TREO)
The 2025 campaign is designed to test priority zones of carbonatite-hosted mineralization, including historical drillhole intercepts such as
Drilling services are being provided by Quesnel Bros. Diamond Drilling Ltd., a specialized contractor with extensive remote-access experience. Field operations are supported and managed by Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd.
CEO Sean Charland commented: "With mobilization now underway, we're set to begin testing one of the most underexplored niobium and REE carbonatite systems in Canada. The Cap Project is a standout opportunity with scale, grade, and excellent infrastructure, and we're excited to launch this next phase of exploration."
The Company will provide further updates as drilling progresses and initial results become available.

About Apex Critical Metals Corp.
Apex Critical Metals Corp. is a Canadian exploration company specializing in the acquisition and development of properties prospective for carbonatites and alkaline rocks with potential to host economic concentrations of rare earth elements (REE's), niobium, gold and copper mineralization. Apex's Cap property located 85 kilometres northeast of Prince George, B.C., spans 25 square kilometres and hosts a recently identified promising 1.8-kilometre niobium trend. The Company's Bianco carbonatite project encompasses 3,735 hectares covering a large carbonatite complex within an area known for significant niobium mineralization in northwestern Ontario.
Carbonatites are extremely rare rock types, with fewer than 600 known worldwide. They are host to rare earth element ("REE") minerals, niobium, tantalum and phosphate, as well as copper and gold. Carbonatites are host to the world's largest and most productive niobium deposits, including Araxa and Catal茫o in Brazil, and Niobec in Quebec. In addition, they are the primary source of REEs, including Mountain Pass in California, Mount Weld in Australia, and Bayan Obo in China. They are also important sources of phosphate (apatite), including Cargill, Ontario, while the Palabora mine in South Africa has produced copper, nickel, gold, magnetite, and vermiculite. Other carbonatites are known to have produced gold, iron, zirconium, fluorite, and other industrial minerals.
By acquiring a multitude of carbonatite projects, Apex Critical intends to investigate potential high-value opportunities to meet the growing global demand of specialty metals across various industries. Apex Critical is publicly listed in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the symbol APXC, in the United States on the OTCQB market under the symbol APXCF, and in Germany on the Borse Frankfurt under the symbol KL9 and/or WKN:A40CCQ.
