Almadex Commences Diamond Drilling at its Paradise Project, Nevada
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: 'DEX') is pleased to announce that it has commenced diamond drilling operations at its porphyry lithocap target on the Paradise Project, Nevada. The program will target both near surface gold potential and deep porphyry potential. Almadex currently plans 3 to 4 holes in this program. The holes were designed to test targets defined by the Company's past and the more recent work described in its news release of May 14, 2025. Previous work carried out by Almadex includes extensive mapping, soils and the drilling of two holes on the northwest portion of the lithocap in 2024. These two holes confirmed the presence of porphyry veining but were interpreted to have intercepted a more distal part of the porphyry system (see Almadex news release of October 8th, 2024). Recent work reported here includes prospecting and detailed mapping within the lithocap alteration zone along with drone based (UAV) magnetics and ground IP surveys. The porphyry lithocap has potential for three styles of mineralisation; high sulphidation gold hosted in quartz-alunite alteration, porphyry related mineralisation underlying and adjacent to the high sulphidation system, and gold-silver in epithermal veins that crosscut both. J Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, 'Our work has defined a vector towards a potential core of this large alteration system and it is very exciting to now be drill testing this model in this 2025 drill program.' About Lithocap Alteration Zones and the Paradise LithocapLithocaps are extensive areas of hydrothermally altered rocks that occur above or adjacent to intrusive rocks and related porphyry deposits. The hydrothermal alteration forms when ascending high temperature magmatic fluids are released from the source intrusion below and alter permeable and reactive rocks occurring above. Lithocaps can be over 10 by 10 km in surface area and over 1 km thick. The alteration mineral assemblages vary, usually with distance from the intrusive source. Often more neutral and higher temperature stable alteration mineral assemblages are seen at depth, closer to the source intrusion and potential porphyry deposit. More acidic and lower temperature stable assemblages generally occur higher and farther away. Mapping of alteration minerals and geochemical analysis using soil and rock samples can map these changes in mineralogy. This mapping can then provide a vector towards potential underlying porphyry systems. If large areas of lithocap alteration are well preserved, they can obscure deep unexposed porphyries and other styles of mineralisation. If no mineralisation is present at surface, drilling based on geochemical and alteration vectors aided by geophysical data is the best way to explore for buried deposits. The wholly owned 1,547 hectare Paradise property covers a roughly 4.5 by 1.8 kilometre area of exposed intense hydrothermal alteration developed in volcanic rocks. This alteration zone which includes quartz-alunite, pyrophyllite and diaspore is typical of high-sulphidation environments forming above porphyry copper-gold systems. The alteration has been mapped by Almadex using a Terraspec infrared spectrometer. This work, using rock chip spectral data points has defined a well preserved porphyry lithocap with alunite core zones (with increasing Na-composition) haloed by pyrophyllite, dickite then hypogene kaolinite. Surrounding the acid sulphate zones are halos of sporadic paragonitic illite (grading to dominant muscovitic alteration) with chlorite in peripheral alteration halos (propylitic). Qualified Persons and Technical DetailsMorgan J Poliquin, PhD, PEng, the President and CEO of Almadex and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"), has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical contents of this news release. The analyses reported were carried out at ALS Chemex Laboratories using industry standard analytical techniques. For gold, samples are first analysed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy ('AAS'). Samples that return values greater than 10 g/t gold using this technique are then re analysed by fire assay but with a gravimetric finish. The IP lines were surveyed using the Company's highly experienced in-house team and equipment (GDD transmitter and Iris Elrec-6 receivers using a 100 m dipole in a pole-dipole array on 8 levels). Pseudo sections were prepared, and the data was inverted using RES2DINV software. The magnetics survey was conducted by a third-party contractor using a Geometrics MagArrow Cesium Magnetometer flown under a ArcSky X55 quadcopter. The MagArrow sensor takes 1000 readings per second and is flown at a maximum speed of 8m/second. The sensor is suspended on a 3m lanyard to remove it from the electromagnetic noise of the UAV. Data is down sampled after collection to 10Hz. The MagArrow readings are diurnally corrected via a geometrics G-862RBS Magnetometer, cycling at 10Hz. Geophysical surveys are not definitive, and the results are still at an early stage of interpretation, with no guarantee of a mineral discovery. About AlmadexAlmadex 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 owns several portable diamond drill rigs, enabling it to conduct cost effective first pass exploration drilling in house. On behalf of the Board of Directors, 'Morgan J.

Almadex Acquires Ruby Hill Silver-Gold Exploration Project by Staking, Surface Sampling returns 992 g/t Silver
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Almadex Minerals Ltd. ('Almadex' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: 'DEX') is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in the Ruby Hill early-stage exploration project by staking. The project is located in central Nevada and was identified as part of Almadex's ongoing regional exploration program in the western USA. The Ruby Hill epithermal gold-silver project covers a large area of argillic alteration and silicification hosted in rhyolite volcanics. Zones of silicification and clay alteration have been identified within which outcrops hosting quartz veinlets occur. Limited outcrop make it difficult to map any potential widths or orientation to the zone of veining and the sporadic outcrops of veined rock occur over a broad area. Some historic mine workings have also been identified which appear very old. These trenches and shafts clearly targeted zones of veining and silicification. To date 59 grab rock samples have been taken from outcrop and float of veining and silicified rhyolite (grab samples are selected samples and may not represent true underlying mineralisation). These preliminary results are very encouraging as 12 of these samples returned over 25 g/t silver with 7 returning more than 100 g/t silver (up to 992 g/t silver and averaging 45 g/t silver for all 59). Important gold values were also returned as 17 of these samples returned over 0.1 g/t gold (up to 0.94 g/t gold and averaging 0.10 g/t gold for all 59). A one-line IP geophysical survey was carried out across the area of alteration. This survey identified a significant chargeability anomaly associated with a resistivity low. This feature is interpreted to represent a potential zone of alteration and sulphide development extending to depth. Almadex plans follow-up prospecting, sampling and geological mapping on the project, focussing on the area above the high IP chargeability, in order to provide targeting for a future drill program. J Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, 'Our regional exploration program continues to identify new targets for acquisition. This preliminary work at Ruby Slope has returned exciting silver and gold results in the earliest stages of sampling which is very encouraging. We will continue to move our early-stage projects forward this year along with our plans for drilling our more advanced properties. We fully expect 2025 to be an important year for our Company.' Qualified Persons and Technical Details Morgan J Poliquin, PhD, PEng, the President and CEO of Almadex and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 ('NI 43-101'), has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical contents of this news release. The analyses reported were carried out at ALS Chemex Laboratories of Reno, Tucson, and North Vancouver using industry standard analytical techniques. For gold, samples are first analysed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy ('AAS'). Samples that return values greater than 10 g/t gold using this technique are then re analysed by fire assay but with a gravimetric finish. Silver is first analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma – Atomic Emission Spectroscopy ('ICP-AES'). Samples that return values greater than 100 g/t silver by ICP-AES are then re analysed by HF-HNO3-HCLO4 digestion with HCL leach and ICP-AES finish. Of these samples those that return silver values greater than 1,500 g/t are further analysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. The IP line was surveyed using the Company's highly experienced in-house team and equipment (GDD transmitter and Iris Elrec-6 receivers using a 100 m dipole in a pole-dipole array). Pseudo sections were prepared, and the data was inverted using RES2DINV software.

The Company owns 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 as well as high sulphidation epithermal gold-silver systems in the best jurisdiction we know: the United States of America.
