VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Almadex Minerals Ltd. ('Almadex' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: DEX) is pleased to provide a review of its wholly owned Logan Zinc-Silver Project ('Logan') in Yukon Territory, Canada, and highlights of recent developments at the Tim Property, where the Company holds a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty.
Logan Project Highlights
Almadex's Logan Project is located 108 km northwest of Watson Lake in south central Yukon, strategically located near existing infrastructure. The project hosts a significant zinc-silver resource as summarised below:
The resource was outlined in the mineral resource estimate disclosed in the Company's January 26, 2023 news release, and is detailed in the technical report titled '
NI 43-101 Technical Report Updated Mineral Resource Estimate Logan Property
', dated March 7, 2023. The report was prepared by Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo. (AB, BC), Kristopher J. Raffle, P.Geo. (BC), and Alfonso Rodriguez, M.Sc., P.Geo. (BC), serving as President and Principal Consultant, Principal Geologist, and Senior Geologist, respectively, with APEX Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta. All authors are independent Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Drill results suggest excellent continuity of mineralization over a significant strike length and to depth, with substantial room for resource expansion both laterally and below the current pit shell. In addition, re-analysis of historical drill core has identified potential economically significant values of indium - a critical metal integral to solar panels, advanced electronics, and next-generation vehicles - averaging 35 ppm and up to 273 ppm.
The deposit is hosted in a tabular zone of fracture and vein-hosted mineralization within a granitic intrusion. It spans more than 1,100 metres along strike and up to 150 metres wide, with mineralization starting at surface and extending to at least 275 metres in depth. The terrain is relatively flat with minimal overburden, enhancing its potential for cost-effective extraction.
Morgan Poliquin, CEO of Almadex stated: 'Logan represents a meaningful resource of critical minerals in a mining-friendly jurisdiction. Currently Almadex is focussed on a large regional exploration program targeting porphyry lithocap alteration systems for hidden porphyry and epithermal mineralisation in the western United States, but the Logan Zinc-Silver deposit is an important asset to the Company. With its size, grade, and infrastructure access, Logan is an excellent foundation for advancing discussions and potential technical work as we continue to assess our portfolio of assets. As our exploration primary focus is in the USA at this time, we will seek a suitable and qualified partner to advance this exciting project which could fill a role in supporting the global need for critical minerals.'
Tim Property NSR – Coeur Partnership Advances an Emerging CRD District
Almadex holds a 2% NSR royalty on the Tim Property, located 72 km west of Watson Lake, Yukon and 19 km northeast of Coeur Mining's Silvertip Mine. The property is owned by Silver North Resources Ltd. ('Silver North') and is currently being advanced under an option agreement by Coeur Mining, Inc. ('Coeur'), which can earn up to an 80% interest through staged exploration expenditures and a positive feasibility study.
As reported by Silver North, Coeur has invested approximately $1.6 million to date, completing geophysical surveys, property-wide geochemical sampling, trench re-examination, and, most notably, a six-hole, 2,250 metre drill program in 2024.
Silver North has reported that recent geological observations by Coeur indicate that Tim may host a productive Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) system similar to Silvertip. These observations include key features such as fugitive calcite veining with characteristic fluorescence, argentiferous manganese oxides, and re-crystallization of host limestones - all hallmarks of a high-quality CRD system. Silver North disclosed in its December 21, 2023 news release the results of Coeur's resampling of historic trenches. Chip sampling from a pair of trenches 150 metres apart yielded results of 4.0 m averaging 468.1 g/t Ag, 21.1% Pb, 0.3% Zn and an 8.8 m averaging 265.0 g/t Ag, 6.7% Pb, 0.9% Zn. In Silver North's May 26, 2025 news release, results were provided from the 2024 drill program conducted by Coeur which successfully confirmed the presence of a Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) style system at Tim. The best drill intercept from the 2024 program returned 3.39 m of 52.8 g/t silver, 0.28 g/t gold, 0.11 % lead and 0.27 % zinc. Silver North also reported that a detailed planning of the 2025 follow up program is underway.
Mr. Poliquin stated: 'Our 2% NSR on the Tim property is an important royalty in an area that Coeur is actively developing into an emerging silver-rich CRD district anchored by Silvertip. Coeur's exploration and investment signal the potential for Tim to evolve into a significant silver-lead-zinc asset, enhancing the long-term value of our royalty portfolio.'
Strategic Significance to Almadex
The combination of the Logan Project's updated mineral resource and Almadex's strategic royalty exposure at Tim provides investors with leverage to two highly prospective assets:
These developments position Almadex as a unique participant in the evolving critical and precious metals landscape in Yukon and northern British Columbia.

About Almadex
Almadex Minerals Ltd. is an exploration company that holds a large mineral portfolio consisting of projects and NSR royalties in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. This portfolio is the direct result of many years of prospecting and deal-making by Almadex's management team. The Company has several portable diamond drill rigs, enabling it to conduct cost effective first pass exploration drilling in-house. The Almadex team have significant porphyry lithocap exploration experience and have made three discoveries of mineral deposits under advanced argillic alteration. Our success comes from our audacity, in house exploration capacity and most importantly our ability to drill with our company owned drilling unit. We have assembled a portfolio of lithocap targets that have the potential to be concealing large porphyry systems at depth in the best jurisdiction we know: the United States of America. We have the cash and drills to advance and test these targets and will continue doing so in 2025.
