Apex Extends Trinity Zone in West Step-out Drilling With 2.52% REO Over 223.3 m and 2.49% REO Over 123.3 m at Rift

Apex Critical Metals Corp. reported assay results from four drillholes (RIFT26-025 to RIFT26-028) extending the Trinity Zone mineralization at its Rift Rare Earth Project in Nebraska.
Hole RIFT26-026 intersected 2.52% REO over 223.3 meters, including four discrete intervals of 3.43%, 3.06%, 3.54%, and 3.01% REO.
Hole RIFT26-025 returned 2.49% REO over 123.3 meters, including a 3.45% REO interval over 37.1 meters containing a high-grade 4.03% REO section over 6.6 meters.
Holes RIFT26-025 and RIFT26-026 extended mineralization approximately 90 meters to the west along two separate drill fences.
Hole RIFT26-027 returned 3.18% REO over 47.0 meters, while RIFT26-028 returned 2.03% REO over 62.1 meters, extending the zone 100 meters to the northwest.
The Trinity Zone has now been traced over approximately 600 meters of north-south strike and 500 meters of western down-dip extension within a 700-meter target corridor.
All four new drillholes returned broad intervals exceeding 2.00% REO, confirming the maintenance of grade and thickness as the zone extends westward.
A total of 40 drillholes (25,400 meters) have been completed to date, with assay results for 12 holes still pending.
Drilling operations remain active with a single rig expected to continue until the end of 2026.
The Company plans to deliver an inaugural mineral resource estimate by the end of Q1 2027.
