Apex Critical Metals Receives Multi-Year Permit and Preps Drill Program at CAP Project, British Columbia
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE:APXC)(OTCQB:APXCF)(FWB:KL9) ('Apex' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has received a five-year Multi-Year Area-Based Exploration Permit (MYAB) and has advanced plans for a 2025 summer diamond drill program at its Cap Project (the 'Project') located in east-central British Columbia. Drilling is expected to commence in mid-July, with approximately 1,000 to 1,500 metres of core drilling anticipated. The 2025 campaign marks the Company's inaugural drill program at CAP, and the first program on the Project since 2017, when mineralized carbonatite was intersected in drillhole CAP17-004. The 2025 drilling program will target the 1.8 km-long niobium-in-soil anomaly and mineralized carbonatite outcrops identified by the Company in 2024. (see news release dated November 12, 2024, Figure 1). These areas remain untested by previous drilling. Cap Project highlights from 2024 exploration include (see Figure 1): 'We are eager to advance the CAP Project to the drill stage,' notes Sean Charland, CEO of Apex Critical Metals. 'The 2025 program is designed to evaluate the scale and depth potential of the newly discovered carbonatite-hosted niobium and REO mineralization. With a strong foundation from our 2024 work, we're looking forward to testing some of the most compelling targets identified to date.' Apex received a five-year Multi-Year Area-Based Exploration Permit (Permit Number MX-11-251, the 'MYAB Permit'), effective November 6, 2024, encompasses most of the CAP Project. The MYAB Permit allows for Apex to complete the following key exploration activities: Figure 1. CAP property highlights Quality Assurance / Quality Control All 2024 rock samples were collected in the field using a hammer and chisel. Soil samples were collected from the presumed B horizon using a hand auger and/or geotool. Stream concentrate samples were collected by fill approximately ¾ of a 12x20 cm sample bag with stream sediment. The material was first passed through a 1/8-inch sieve yielding a fine fraction that was then processed using both 14" LeTrap plastic pans to concentrate the heavy fraction, resulting in approximately tens of grams per sample. The concentrate was then carefully transferred to a pre-labeled zip-lock sample bag with a corresponding sample book tag and sample number Locations for all sample types were obtained using a handheld GPS or tablet with samples placed in pre-labelled sample bags. Metal tags with the sample numbers and flagging tape were left at each sample location. Samples were shipped using Manitoulin Transport to Actlabs Laboratory in Kamloops BC. Rock samples were prepped via RX1, Dry, crush (< 7 kg) up to 80% passing 2 mm, riffle split (250 g) and pulverize (mild steel) to 95% passing 105 µm. Analysis consisted of Code 8 by XRF Nb₂O₅, ZrO2 and Ta2O5 (0.003%), Code 8 - REE Assay, and 1A2 Au Fire Assay - AA, 30g weight, 5-5,000 ppb. Soil and stream concentrate samples were prepped using code S1-230, which requires drying (60°C) and sieving (-63 µm). Analysis consisted of packages 4B2-STD, Lithium Borate Fusion / ICP-MS Trace Element package, and 1A2 Au Fire Assay - AA, 30g weight, 5-5,000 ppb A Quality Assurance/Quality Control protocol was incorporated into the rock sampling program and included the insertion of two certified reference material ('CRM's) and one quartz blank representing approximately 9% of submitted samples. For the soil sampling and stream concentrate sampling, a total of five CRMs were inserted into the sample stream representing approximately 1% of the submitted samples, with the Company also relying on the internal QA/QC procedures of Actlabs. Management cautions that prospecting surface rock samples, soil samples, stream concentrate samples and associated assays, as discussed herein, are selective by nature and represent a point location, and therefore may not necessarily be fully representative of the mineralized horizon sampled.

Star Copper Mobilizes 2025 Summer Exploration Targeting Expansion of Existing Discovery
Company set to build asset value in prolific 'Golden Triangle' VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTC PINK:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ('Star Copper' or the 'Company'), a Canadian resource exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that equipment and crew have been mobilized to shortly commence drilling and other exploration activities in the field. Today's news officially kicks off Star Copper's 2025 drill plans at its flagship asset, the Star Project, located in the heart of the prolific industry recognized 'Golden Triangle' of northwestern British Columbia. The Star Project spans 6,829 hectares and is 100% owned by Star Copper. The property, and this current exploration program, are fully permitted under a Multi-Year Area-Based (MYAB) Notice of Work, enabling current and future exploration. Situated in a tier-one jurisdiction, the project boasts over $10 million in historical exploration efforts, including geophysical and geochemical surveys, trenching, soil sampling, and more than 13,000 meters of drilling from 49 diamond drill holes, which have confirmed the presence of a calc-alkalic porphyry copper-gold system. The campaign builds upon a significant historical exploration database and incorporates newly reinterpreted magnetic data to guide the next phase of high-impact drilling. Additionally, the Company will be looking to test the contiguous Star North and Star East claims through targeted sampling and trenching to confirm the geotechnical work which indicates similar characteristics to the Star Main deposit. Darryl Jones, Star Copper's CEO, comments, 'Embarking on our maiden program at Star is an exciting time for our shareholders, as this property has remained amazingly untouched in more than a decade. Our team's efforts to-date lead us to believe that the Star Project holds significant potential based on the inherent mineralization characteristics and geological trend data evident throughout the property. We are very eager to advance the Star North and East projects to further deliver potentially new discoveries aimed at unlocking the true value of the Star Project for our company, stakeholders, and shareholders alike.' 2025 Exploration Overview The fully funded $2.5 million campaign is scheduled to run until August 15, 2025, and incorporates a strategic plan already underway with the field crew currently moving to build a base camp supported by full onsite logistical capabilities. Once established, the team will situate new drill pads to undertake a 3,500-metre diamond drill core sampling program based on six drill holes with an additional 650 metres of contingency drilling allocated. Key program objectives include: Expanding the known mineralized envelope of the Star Main zone Testing deeper porphyry potential and structural offsets Following up on mineralization associated with the recently modeled Star Fault Drill Targeting Basis The program will utilize integrated 3D inversion modeling of 2013 airborne magnetic data, which was completed by Ronacher MacKenzie Geoscience. The new geophysical interpretation, along with trench mapping and core analysis, has confirmed a complex left-lateral strike-slip system and defined key structural features identified as: The Star Fault: A mineralized thrust-related structure that segments higher-grade mineralization in the northeast and offsets deeper mineralization to the southwest. The Dick Creek Fault and Hackett Valley Fault: Large-scale regional fault corridors that outline the structural controls of mineral emplacement. The refined modeling is being used to position drill holes to test both near-surface and deep mineralization, including areas previously untested by drilling. Selected Drill Targets for 2025 The planned holes include follow-ups on the following successful historical intercepts: Hole S025: 200m @ 0.49% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au Hole S027: 263m @ 0.39% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au Hole S029: 81m @ 0.35% Cu, 0.18 g/t Au Hole S040: 120m @ 0.36% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au Hole S023: 100m @ 0.47% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au Historic Collar Table UTM 9N HOLE ID Easting Northing Elevation Depth Azimuth Dip S023 339876 6458313 1140 293 45 -80 S025 339933 6458268 1127 410 270 -85 S027 339749 6458236 1104 598 0 -90 S029 339814 6458170 1072 470 30 -75 S040 339696 6458304 1108 472 0 -90 Please refer to the Company's February 26, 2025 technical report on the Star Project for more information in respect of the project, including historical drilling, available under the Company's profile at Once constructed, the new drill pads will also test untested magnetic anomalies, soil geochemical highs, and deep extensions of chargeability zones with the goal of expanding the known deposit at Star, both laterally as well to depth. Drill holes have not exceeded 660m in previous programs but the mineralization down hole shows the potential for much deeper targeting. The extensive supergene zone discovered at surface is exceptionally rare and the Company is excited to enhance the historic drilling with its own program this summer.

Rokmaster Receives Approval for Two Exploration Permits on the Gold-Silver-Copper-Zinc Selkirk Project
VANCOUVER, BC, April 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) ("Rokmaster" or "the Company") is pleased to provide a permitting update for its 100% owned Selkirk Project. The Selkirk Project is comprised of three properties: (a) the Keystone Property; (b) the Downie Gold Property; and (c) the Rift Property located north of Revelstoke in southeastern British Columbia (Figure 1). These three properties have been steadily advanced by Rokmaster since 2021 with positive results generated from geological mapping, prospecting, channel sampling, and soil sampling. A three year Multi-year Area Based Exploration Permit ("MYAB Permit") has now been approved on the Keystone Property by the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals. The MYAB Permit allows for up to 20 helicopter-supported drill sites and 7 helicopter pads. Both Replacement and vein-hosted sphalerite and galena mineralization has been discovered throughout the large Keystone Property during field work programs conducted between 2021 and 2024 (Figure 2). The rock grab samples have returned significant values of zinc, lead, silver and gold concentrated in two main areas of the Property where zones of dense quartz-galena-sphalerite veining is hosted in deformed dolostone. The northern extension of the mapped Akolkolex Thrust fault occurs within and proximal to the property, providing potential for orogenic-style gold mineralization. Another separate three year MYAB Permit has also now been approved on the Downie Gold Property by the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals. The MYAB Permit allows for up to 15 helicopter-supported drill sites and 6 helicopter pads. The Downie Gold Property hosts elevated gold in massive pyrrhotite-pyrite-galena mineralization associated with discordant stockwork veins and silicification in limestone rocks at the KJ Zone (Figure 3). In 2022, channel sample KJ6 returned 7.51 g/t Au, 616.14 g/t Ag, 7.93% Pb, and 1.72 % Zn over 3.50 meters (see news release dated December 19, 2022). At the Melt Zone in the western portion of the Downie Gold Property, skarn-style massive pyrrhotite and sphalerite mineralization locally hosts elevated gold proximal to the Goldstream Pluton. Also included in the Selkirk Project is the 299 hectare Rift Property which hosts an exposure of a stratabound high-grade sphalerite-galena horizon with an intersection of high-grade zinc approximately 460 m to the east in drillhole M-85-2. See news release dated November 5, 2024 for more details on Selkirk Project. John Mirko, President and CEO, comments: "We are very pleased to receive exploration permits allowing for drill testing on the multiple targets Rokmaster has generated on the Selkirk Project with detailed work over a number of years. The Keystone and Downie Gold Properties feature impressive polymetallic gold, silver, lead, and zinc mineralization in surface exposures which have yet to be thoroughly drilled to test the high potential at depth." The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Eric Titley, who is independent of Rokmaster and who acts as Rokmaster's Qualified Person.
