Exploration Highlights
The Rift Project hosts extensive rare earth rights surrounding a niobium deposit. Historical drillholes within the 700 m corridor returned broad intervals of >2.00% REO, with higher grade (>3.00% REO) intervals. The 2026 drilling expanded the high-grade mineralization footprint, known as the "Trinity Zone," over approximately 380 m from historical drillholes. Additionally, drilling delineated a new deeper horizon, the "Neo Zone," with strongly elevated NdPr distributions between 30-50%.
Cap Project Update
In Canada, Apex continues to advance its 100%-owned Cap Project, located 85 kilometres northeast of Prince George, British Columbia. The 2025 drill program confirmed an emerging niobium discovery with 0.59% Nb₂O₅ over 36 metres, including 1.08% Nb₂O₅ over 10 metres, within a 1.8-kilometre-long niobium trend.
What is the estimated timeline for the next phase of exploration or resource definition drilling at the Rift Project's Trinity and Neo Zones?
How will the company fund the continued advancement of both the Rift and Cap projects following these technical milestones?
What are the preliminary economic implications of the elevated NdPr distributions found in the newly delineated Neo Zone?
