AMEX EXPLORATION GOLD DISCOVERY INVESTOR NEWS

 

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce assay results from a number of drill holes focused on expansion drilling of the High Grade Zone ("HGZ"), part of the Eastern Gold Zone ("EGZ"), of the Perron Project as shown in Figure 1. Today's drill results demonstrate that the HGZ is expanding along strike, outside of the main high grade central ore shoot.

Highlights include:

  • 15.52 g/t Au over 15.85 m, including 198.36 g/t Au over 1.20 m, in hole PE-22-511W3 at a vertical depth of 750 m; and
  • 11.27 g/t Au over 11.00 m, including 203.72 g/t Au over 0.50 m, in hole PE-22-511W2 at a vertical depth of 785 m

As part of its resource definition program, Amex has been focused on expansion of known zones of mineralization through much of the 2022 drilling program. This drilling targeted the margins of the known gold mineralization as shown in Figures 2 & 3, outside of the main "core" of the HGZ that regularly delivers multi-ounce assay results. These results from the HGZ expansion are definitively adding significant tonnage and potential ounces to the overall ore zone. Of particular interest are the results from holes PE-22-511W2 & PE-22-511W3, which returned very high assay values (see Figure 4 for images of visible gold mineralization) in an area that low grade mineralization was expected. This is highly encouraging for exploration as it shows that high grade lenses exist outside of the main mineralized zone.

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "The expansion drilling program on the HGZ is going very well. I was very excited seeing the strongly mineralized core especially in the two highlight holes. In addition to the high grade holes, the lower grade mineralization that we have been intercepting on the fringes of the system is adding significant strike and tonnage to the system which should enhance the future resource on the HGZ."

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - June 20, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce assay results from new follow-up drillholes on the copper rich volcanogenic massive sulphide ('VMS') QF Zone. The QF Zone occurs along the Normétal Mine Horizon which is a kilometric tuffaceous unit that hosts the nearby past-producing Normétal Mine as shown in Figure 1. See Figures 2 & 3 for a plan map and longitudinal section of the drill intercepts and Figure 4 for photos of the polymetallic sulfide mineralization.

Highlights include:

  • PEX-21-083W1 intersected 2.86% CuEq comprising 2.17% Cu, 0.90% Zn, 0.28 g/t Au and 18.84 g/t Ag over 6.40 m including 4.81% CuEq comprising 4.25% Cu, 0.18% Zn, 0.36 g/t Au and 32.44 g/t over 1.60 m at a vertical depth of approximately 570 m;
  • PEX-22-108 intersected 2.08% CuEq comprising 1.84% Cu, 0.17% Zn, 0.13 g/t Au and 11.77 g/t Ag over 7.10 m, including 6.08% CuEq comprising 5.43% Cu, 0.27% Zn, 0.40g/t Au and 35.39g/t Ag over 1.90 m at a vertical depth of approximately 560 m; and
  • PEX-21-098W2 intersected 6.03% CuEq comprising 5.37% Cu, 0.39% Zn, 0.36 g/t Au and 33.58 g/t Ag over 2.20 m at a vertical depth of approximately 610 m.

The QF Zone grades and widths compares favourably to the neighbouring Normetal Mine which produced approximately 10.1 million tonnes grading 2.24% Cu, 5.41% Zn, 0.53 g/t Au, and 44.45 g/t Ag 1937 to 1975, with development down to a depth of approximately 2.40 km (SIGEOM - Mine Normétal).

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration, commented, "Today's results illustrate that the copper rich core of QF zone is becoming more robust at the 600 m level and shows a very good eastern lateral extension with copper values of about 2% over a thickness of approximately 4 to 5 meters. The apparent gap of intercepts and borehole geophysical anomalies between the surface and the 600 m level may simply be due to the absence of drilling in this area. Additionally, the QF VMS discovery is still open in all directions and additional work including more borehole geophysics and drilling will be needed to fully evaluate the real potential of this VMS discovery at Normétal."

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - September 7, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce assay results from new follow-up drillholes on the copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide ('VMS') QF Zone located on Amex 100% owned Perron property. The QF Zone occurs along the Normétal Mine Horizon which is a kilometric tuffaceous unit that hosts the nearby past-producing Normétal Mine as shown in Figure 1. See Table 1 for a complete list of results, Table 2 for drill hole coordinates, Figures 2 & 3 for a plan map and longitudinal section of the drill intercepts, and Figure 4 for photos of the polymetallic sulfide mineralization.

Results include:

  • PEX-22-118 intersected 1.70% CuEq comprising 0.92% Cu, 1.60% Zn, 0.08 g/t Au and 12.26 g/t Ag over 14.80 m (core length) including 3.58% CuEq comprising 3.10% Cu, 0.32% Zn, 0.19 g/t Au and 28.80 g/t Ag over 3.60 m at a vertical depth of approximately 480 m; and
  • PEX-22-107W1 intersected 0.58% CuEq comprising 0.29% Cu, 0.57% Zn, 0.03 g/t Au and 5.32 g/t Ag over 5.50 m (core length).

The QF Zone style of mineralization compares favourably to the neighbouring Normétal Mine which produced approximately 10.1 million tonnes grading 2.24% Cu, 5.41% Zn, 0.53 g/t Au, and 44.45 g/t Ag 1937 to 1975, with development down to a depth of approximately 2.40 km (SIGEOM - Mine Normétal).

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "Today's intercept in hole PEX-22-118 represents the largest interval of VMS-style mineralization identified on the QF Zone to date. As can be seen in both the table of results and the core photos, we are seeing classic VMS textures and zonation of metals, resulting in a significant transition from copper-rich to zinc-rich throughout the reported interval. Amex will conduct additional borehole EM geophysics to further define the mineralized system. In addition to the base metal results announced today, Amex is also waiting on numerous assays from its drilling program focused on gold mineralization. Assays are expected to be received shortly and we look forward to releasing them once reviewed and interpreted."

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - September 27, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce a new gold zone discovery called the Team Zone on the Perron project in the Abitibi region of Quebec. The near-surface Team Zone occurs ~600 m to the northeast of the High Grade Zone and ~300 m northeast of the E2 Gold Zone (Figure 1). To date, Amex has intercepted visible gold mineralization in 14 of 20 holes targeting the Team Zone over an area of approximately 200 m by 100 m.

Owing to a significant delay at the assay lab, the partial results below represent only the samples in each hole that were sent for screen metallic assays (this assay method is selected when gold mineralization is anticipated owing to visible gold, significant veining, and/or significant sulfides). When the fire assay results for the balance of the reported holes are received, Amex will issue updated results. See Table 1 for a list of the partial results, Table 2 for drill hole coordinates, Figure 1 for a map of the Perron project geology showing the location of the Team Zone, and Figure 2 for a map showing the distribution of visible gold identified to date throughout the Team Zone.

Kelly Malcolm, Vice President of Amex Exploration, will present an overview of the Company's progress to date including the new Team Zone in an interactive 3D and 360º virtual tour using the VRIFY Platform. A webinar presentation will be aired live on Wednesday September 28, 2022, at 10am EST. Please register here: Amex Zoom Webinar

Please see the following link to view a teaser video of the 3D presentation: https://youtu.be/ogv-INAO93w

The VRIFY platform integrates all aspects of the Perron Project including drone footage of the location, infrastructure, the multiple discoveries and then transitions underground revealing the mineralization using the drilling and assay results reported to date. The 3D VRIFY Presentation can also be found on our website after the webinar. https://www.amexexploration.com/

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration, commented, "We are very excited by the amount of visible gold in the core of almost every hole drilled into the Team Zone. While we have been working to understand the size and geometry of this system, drilling has exceeded expectations. We have intercepted several panels of gold mineralization across a significant area of the north-eastern portion of the Beaupre Block. The Team Zone is delivering both high-grade gold in tension-type veins as well as nice wider composites of lower-grade mineralization. We look forward to the receipt of the fire assay results for the balance of today's reported holes as well as all assays for the balance of the un-released drillholes, in order to get a fulsome understanding of this very interesting new discovery. This zone is an important new discovery as it represents potentially a new deposit with its own gold resources that could be adding to the other known zones on the still under-explored Perron property. Consequently, we have decided to assign a drill to continue exploration on the Team Zone while the other drills are still dedicated to the EGZ, including the HGZ and Denise definition and expansion, and regional exploration."

The Team Zone is situated within the Beaupre rhyolite block, which is the host to the majority of gold identified to date on the Perron project. Gold mineralization is associated with quartz-carbonate veins & tension veinlets which are at times folded and/or brecciated. The gold-bearing quartz veins are found in both rhyolite and mafic intrusive bodies, unlike many of the other gold zones at Perron which are lithologically controlled. The mineral assemblage however, comprising pyrite-pyrrhotite +/- sphalerite +/- chalcopyrite +/- visible gold, is similar to the Eastern Gold Zone mineralization (Figure 3). As shown in Figure 2, Amex has drilled the Team Zone at multiple orientations, in order to identify the geometry of the system. As additional assay results are received and additional drillholes are completed, the 3-dimensional shape and size potential of the Team Zone will be revealed.

By the end of 2022, Amex Exploration will have completed close to 375,000 m of drilling on its 100% owned Perron Project in Quebec, Canada. Amex's drilling campaign is one of the largest and most ambitious in Canada with the objective of discovering and defining the gold and VMS potential of the Perron property. By analysing and interpreting data compiled from geophysics, structural data, and geochemistry the Amex team and its partners have replicated their success in the original Eastern Gold Zone discovery and made numerous other discoveries on the project. In total Amex has outlined an area of gold and VMS mineralization that stretches over 4 km laterally on the Perron property. In the past year alone, Amex has discovered four new gold zones and two copper-rich VMS zones, while expanding and defining the High-Grade Gold Zone (HGZ) (underground mining target) and the adjacent Denise Zone (near surface bulk-tonnage target).

In addition to exploration success, Amex also recently qualified for ECOLOGO certification through a framework for environmental, social and corporate governance to adapt to the current environment of sustainable investing. Finding new mines through sustainable mineral exploration is at the heart of the Amex Exploration team's values.

Amex also completed its largest financing of ~$49.6 million in February at a price of $4.82 per flow-through share, which provides complete funding for the company's aggressive exploration program through to the end of 2023.

Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex Exploration, commented, "I am very proud of the dedicated team and the quality of work we have produced. Exploration is at the core of Amex culture and we continue to stay focused on delivering results for our shareholders and stakeholders. The Perron project is located in a greenstone belt of Quebec that was previously overlooked for gold. Our success has proven that perseverance leads to discoveries which will benefit the people of the area and the province of Quebec."

Cantore continued, "I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Province of Quebec for winning the Most Improved Mining Jurisdiction Award recognizing its implementation of the Québec Plan for the Development of Critical and Strategic Minerals 2020-2025."

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce updated and upgraded results on the newly discovered Team Zone on the Perron project in the Abitibi region of Quebec. Today's results include the pending fire assays as well as previously released high-grade intervals from the metallic sieve assaying technique. The Team Zone delivers a combination of both high grade gold over narrow intervals as well as wide zones of disseminated gold. The near-surface Team Zone occurs ~600 m to the northeast of the High Grade Zone (HGZ) and ~300 m northeast of the E2 Gold Zone (Figure 1). To date, Amex has intercepted visible gold mineralization in 17 of 23 holes targeting the Team Zone over an area of approximately 300 m by 150 m from surface to a depth of ~380 m. Additional results are pending from the ongoing drill program at this important target.

Today's highlight results include:

PE-22-548: 6.75 g/t Au over 14.50 m at a vertical depth of ~180 m

Including: 26.34 g/t Au over 1.50 m
And including: 32.60 g/t Au over 1.50 m
And: 1.74 g/t Au over 17.0 m at a vertical depth of ~250 m

PE-22-554: 1.08 g/t Au over 163.50 m beginning at a vertical depth of ~110 m

Including: 4.55 g/t Au over 3.50 m at a vertical depth of ~110 m
And including: 11.17 g/t Au over 3.0 m
And including: 2.71 g/t Au over 37.0 m
Which includes: 7.90 g/t Au over 8.50 m

PE-22-545: 2.09 g/t Au over 7.0 m at a vertical depth of ~160 m

And: 1.07 g/t Au over 11.80 m

On September 27, 2022, Amex announced partial results from metallic sieve assays for the new Team Zone discovery. Today's results represent the entirety of the sampled intervals of the reported holes. The new results exceed the Company's early expectations as many areas that looked weakly mineralized at best have returned appreciable disseminated gold. This results in a unique system which provides flexibility for future mining, with respect to underground or open pit mining. See Table 1 for a list of the today's drill results, Table 2 for drill hole coordinates, Figure 1 for a map of the Perron project geology showing the location of the Team Zone, Figure 2 for a map showing the assay results as well as the distribution of visible gold identified to date throughout the Team Zone, and Figure 3 for photos of visible gold in several holes in the Team Zone.

Jacques Trottier, Executive Chairman of Amex, commented "With the receipt of the balance of the fire assays on the Team Zone, we are now starting to understand the geometry of the system. The volume of rock that has been affected by this mineralizing event, consisting of stockwork-type and tension-type veins and veinlets along with associated alteration, is quite extensive and I believe it has significant potential to grow both along strike and to depth. The fact that we have seen multiple occurrences of visible gold in the majority of holes targeting this zone is also very exciting. This is also the most significant discovery made to date along the northern limb of the Beaupre rhyolite. The Team Zone has become a priority for Amex and we will begin aggressively drilling it through the winter season."

The Team Zone is situated along the northern limb of the Beaupre rhyolite block, which is the host to the majority of gold identified to date on the Perron project. Gold mineralization is associated with quartz-carbonate veins & tension veinlets which are at times folded and/or brecciated. In addition to the vein-hosted mineralization, there is a component of disseminated pyrite-associated gold (as evident by today's results). The gold-bearing quartz veins are found in both rhyolite and mafic intrusive bodies, unlike many of the other gold zones at Perron which are lithologically controlled. The mineral assemblage however, comprising pyrite-pyrrhotite +/- chalcopyrite +/- sphalerite +/- molybdenite +/- visible gold, is similar to the Eastern Gold Zone mineralization. As shown in Figure 2, Amex has drilled the Team Zone at multiple orientations to identify the geometry of the system. The geological team has been utilizing oriented drill core to determine the orientation of the veins and overall mineralizing system. As additional assay results are received and additional drill holes are completed, the 3-dimensional shape and size potential of the Team Zone will be revealed.

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") announces that shareholders have approved of all resolutions brought before them at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders ("AGM") held on May 10, 2022. A total of 24,177,225 shares were represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, representing approximately 23.72% of the Corporation's outstanding shares.

The following Board members stood for re-election and were duly re-elected: Victor Cantore, Pierre Carrier, Bryan Coates, Yvon Gélinas, Anik Gendron, Luisa Moreno, André Shareck, and Jacques Trottier. These directors will hold office until the next annual meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed or a director vacates office in accordance with the by-laws of the Corporation.

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton (RCGT) was reappointed as the external auditor of TGSC and will hold office until the next annual meeting at such remuneration as may be determined by the directors with 99% of the votes cast supporting the appointment of the auditor. Shareholders also voted 98% in favor, to approve Amex's rolling up to 10% stock option plan, through which the total number of common shares reserved for issuance as incentive stock options shall not exceed 10% of the total issued and outstanding common shares. The plan remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Corporate Update

Also during the AGM, the Company provided a review of operations during the year 2021 and to date. Depending on the season, Amex has up to 10 drills turning and is drilling approximately 10,000 metres a month, making this campaign one of the largest and most aggressive exploration programs in Canada.

The carefully planned 2021 exploration program led to important new discoveries:

  • the Alizee Gold Zone
  • the 210 Gold Zone
  • the Upper HGZ
  • the E2 Gold Zone and,
  • a new copper rich VMS discovery, the QF Zone.

In addition, Amex further defined and expanded the Denise Zone and identified exceptional high-grade gold continuity in the High-Grade Gold Zone (HGZ). To date, Amex has hit very high-grade and often visible gold in multiple zones across the project over a 3.5 km corridor of gold mineralization.

Much of the winter drilling campaign focused on the Denise zone and the newly discovered E2 zone, taking advantage of better access due to the cold weather. The Denise target is a very important zone that is kilometric in scale. Numerous additional holes are pending and planned, to better define this area along strike and to depth.

The E2 zone is also a very important target for Amex, as it is an underground-type ore shoot that lies only ~250 metres from the HGZ zone and is proving to be sub-parallel. Of course, the HGZ continues to be an important zone and is a very rich underground target.

In terms of financing, over 60M$ was raised since 2021 and since the discovery of the HGZ at the end of 2018, Amex has drilled approximately 280,000 meters, in 788 drill holes, and another 60-70,000 meters of drilling is expected to be completed before the end of the year.

With all of this activity, the Company wishes to highlight its commitment to moving forward using environmental, social and economic best practices. Earlier this year, Amex began the process to obtain the ECOLOGO® Certification for Mineral Exploration Companies. Amex expects to complete certification before the end of the year. ECOLOGO® features third-party certification of environmental, social and economic practices.

Finally, the Company adopted a Code of Conduct and Business Ethics and is addressing diversity, women now make up to 25% of our Board and visible minorities, make up 12.5%. To support our efforts, the Board has created an ESG Committee to ensure strong, value creating, governance practices in place.

Board Update

Following the AGM, the Corporation is announcing that as of today, Mr. Bryan Coates, an independent director, has resigned from the Board of Directors for personal reasons. Amex Exploration thanks Mr. Coates for his contribution to the Board over the past 2 years.

Gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption and values over 3 ppm Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with finish by gravimetry by Laboratoire Expert Inc, Rouyn-Noranda. Samples containing visible gold mineralization are analyzed by metallic sieve. For additional quality assurance and quality control, all samples were crushed to 90% less than 2 mm prior to pulverization, in order to homogenize samples which may contain coarse gold. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration.

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - May 9, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce a total of 9 drill holes focused on near surface and on-strike expansion as well as definition drilling of the Denise Zone ("Denise"), part of the Eastern Gold Zone ("EGZ"), of the Perron Project. In addition, the Company is also pleased to report 11 drills holes from the newly discovered E2 Gold Zone ("E2"). See Figure 1 for a plan view of the geology of the EGZ. In addition, Amex would like to remind shareholders of its Annual General Meeting and corporate update which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at 10:00 AM Eastern time and will be made available via webcast in consideration of current Covid 19 Government guidelines.

Today's drill results demonstrate that tenure and grade of the eastern area of Denise is starting to replicate the western Denise Zone which has been well defined with diamond drilling. These results indicate the potential for higher grade shoots forming within the eastern Denise, similar to what has been defined in the western Denise. A complete list of results is available in Table 1 and presented in Figure 2.

The E2 Gold Zone has now been expanded down to a vertical depth of 370 m and along strike for 325 m. A complete list of results is available in Table 2 and presented in Figure 3.

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "Hole PE-22-510 recorded one of the best intersections that we have reported to date in the Denise Zone. We are now seeing very high grade individual samples within the broader panel of mineralized rhyolite that comprises Denise. We are continuing to drill and define this important target as we believe it has the potential to add significant ounces at Perron. In addition, we are beginning to understand the geometry and plunge of the E2 Gold Zone, which roughly parallels the High Grade Zone. The proximity of the E2 and HGZ, approximately 250 metres apart, should be very positive in a potential underground mining scenario as the ounce-per-vertical-metre count would increase significantly."

Trottier continued, "Amex management is very excited about these results and very much looks forward to the continuation of the current drilling phase and the start of the summer fieldwork season which will begin in the coming days. In addition to the ongoing drilling campaign, fieldwork this summer will consist of detailed geological mapping and stripping of exposed surfaces (i.e. outcrops) on a regional scale covering various areas of the property, as well as regional studies of rock geochemistry and bio-geochemistry."

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - April 11, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce a total of 27 drill holes focused on near surface and on-strike expansion as well as definition drilling of the Denise Zone ("Denise"), part of the Eastern Gold Zone ("EGZ"), of the Perron Project. See Figure 1 for a plan view of the geology of the EGZ and the mineralized zones.

Today's drill results demonstrate that Denise can now be traced over ~950 m from the Western mafic intrusion to the most Eastern intercept to date in the Denise structure. The Company intends to continue to drill to the East to further expand the Denise Zone along strike. In addition, Amex will continue definition drilling on Western Denise particularly at the depth where there appears to be a higher grade trend developing. A complete list of results is available in Table 1 and presented in Figure 2.

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "I am very encouraged by the results from the Eastern Denise Zone as they clearly show the structure continues near surface and along strike as we predicted and is now a confirmed kilometric sized system. We have numerous additional holes pending and planned to better define this area along strike and to depth. In addition, our infill drilling on Western Denise has begun indicating multiple higher grade ore shoots within the larger Denise mineralized envelope. We have also defined the Western Denise down to 750 metres. The Denise Zone is wide open along strike and to depth and has the potential to be a very sizeable structure and potential open pit target."

Trottier continued, "One of the best features of our Perron project is that we have both bulk tonnage style and exceptionally high-grade vein-hosted gold zones on the Project. This provides us with optionality from a mining perspective. The close proximity of the Denise Zone to the High Grade Zone makes it a very important target for Amex. We look forward to the receipt of additional results as we work towards building out the property-wide resource."

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - February 8, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce a total of 34 drill holes focused on the expansion and definition of gold mineralization on High Grade Zone ("HGZ") of the Perron project ("Perron" or the "Project"). See Figure 1 for a plan view of the geology of the eastern portion of Perron and currently known mineralized zones including the HGZ. A complete list of results is available in Tables 1 & 2 and presented in Figures 2, 3, & 4.

Today's results consist of drill holes focused largely on expansion and definition of both the Eastern (deeper) and Western (shallower) portions of the HGZ. The HGZ now stands at more than 300 m along strike to a depth of 1,200 m. On the Western portion, as shown in Figures 2 & 3, Amex targeted on-strike expansion as well as infilling the lower portions of the zone, which resulted in a significantly increased strike length as indicated by holes PE-21-439 and PE-21-441 as well as an increase of grade as indicated by holes PE-21-405, PE-21-444, PE-21-438, PE-21-366W1, and PE-21-410W1. On the Eastern portion, as shown in Figures 2 & 4, Amex completed definition drilling within the core of the zone as well as on-strike expansion towards the late-stage diabase dike as indicated by holes PE-21-412, PE-21-419, PE-21-426, PE-21-380, PE-21-380W1, PE-21-442, and PE-21-417W2.

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "As one can clearly see from the new longitudinal section, this batch of drill holes significantly expands the strike and the high grade core of the HGZ with a metal factor of more than 50 (g/t Au x core length in metres). As we tighten the drill spacing, we see the Western (shallower) zone developing a much higher grade profile than previously thought. We are also seeing a much larger envelope of gold mineralization surrounding the high-grade central core of the zone than previously thought. On the Eastern (deeper) portion of the zone, we are seeing consistent high-grade mineralization essentially from the top of the Eastern portion (~325 vertical metres) to the bottom of the defined area (~1,200 vertical metres) and are also expanding the horizontal footprint of the zone."

Qualified Person

Maxime Bouchard P.Geo. M.Sc.A., (OGQ 1752) and Jérôme Augustin P.Geo. Ph.D., (OGQ 2134), Independent Qualified Persons as defined by Canadian NI 43-101 standards, have reviewed and approved the geological information reported in this news release. The drilling campaign and the quality control program have been planned and supervised by Maxime Bouchard and Jérôme Augustin. Samples discussed in the press release were sent to Laboratoire Expert (Rouyn-Noranda) and AGAT Laboratories (Mississauga) for regional drilling exploration. The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of blank or standard every 10 samples on average, in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard sample. For both laboratories, gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption and values over 3 ppm Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with finish by gravimetry. Samples containing visible gold mineralization are analyzed by metallic sieve and just performed by Laboratoire Expert. For additional quality assurance and quality control, all samples were crushed to 90% less than 2 mm prior to pulverization, in order to homogenize samples which may contain coarse gold. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration. Copper and other elements were analyzed using the four-acid ICP-AES method by Laboratoire Expert. The Qualified Persons have not completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the Property, particularly in regards to historical drill results. However, the Qualified Persons believe that drilling and analytical results were completed to industry standard practices. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Property but may not be representative of expected results.

Gold mine exploration company Amex Exploration is pleased to provide a review of 2021 accomplishments and gold mine exploration plans for 2022.

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - January 5, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to provide a review of its 2021 accomplishments and exploration plans and goals for 2022.

On the corporate front, the Company ended the year in a strengthened financial position with the full exercise of all remaining warrants, adding $7 million to the treasury, demonstrating continued shareholder support and confidence. Additionally, Amex Exploration was named to 2021 OTCQX Best 50, a ranking of top performing companies traded on the OTCQX. As part of its ongoing focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), Amex strengthened the Board of Directors through the appointment of Bryan Coates as Lead Independent Director and election of Dr. Luisa Morena as Independent Director.

On the exploration front, the drill bit continued to add value throughout 2021 (see Figure 1 and Table 1). Additional highlights from the year included:

  • Three significant new discoveries were made on the Perron property.
    • A copper rich volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) discovery (QF Zone) was made along the Normétal Mine Horizon where the company intersected 2.40% Cu, 0.72% Zn, 0.27 g/t Au and 22.15 g/t Ag over 7.80 m. Follow up drilling has confirmed the initial discovery with similar grades and widths, indicating the presence of a substantial VMS system. Defining and expanding upon this system will be a part of the exploration program in 2022.
    • A new high-grade gold structure located 650 m north-west of the High Grade Zone (HGZ), the Alizee Zone, returning 31.87 g/t Au over 5.10 m.
    • An additional high-grade gold structure, the 210 Gold Zone, was discovered on the Normétal Fault, with the discovery interval returning 58.25 g/t Au over 3.90 m.
  • The Denise Gold Zone surpassed expectations showing large zones of broad near-surface gold mineralization and continuity. The Denise Zone has now been defined to a depth of 700 m and 500 m along strike and the geology indicates probability to expand to the east near surface.
  • At the High Grade Zone (HGZ) Amex demonstrated exceptional high-grade gold continuity down to a depth of 1.35 km. The Company also reported the highest grade individual assay at Perron of 929.24 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a depth of 290 m in hole PE-21-344.

The focus was on the expansion and definition drilling of HGZ and near surface, on strike expansion and definition drilling of the Denise Zone as well as regional exploration drilling. There are currently a number of pending samples at two labs from holes targeting the HGZ, Denise, QF and Grey Cat Zone, as well as regional exploration drilling.

Exploration Plans and Corporate Goals for the coming year

  • Test the expansion potential of the Denise Zone along strike for up to 1.5 km to the east, where limited drilling has occurred and gold mineralization has been encountered.
  • Continue to define the HGZ to a resource level to a depth of approximately 1 km.
  • Further define and explore the QF VMS Zone.
  • Report on regional exploration program and determine potential to make additional gold and VMS discoveries on Perron.
  • Complete a maiden resource on the Perron Project in H2.
  • Set and report on ESG goals for 2022 with a report to be produced during the year.

Qualified Person

Maxime Bouchard P.Geo. M.Sc.A., (OGQ 1752) and Jérôme Augustin P.Geo. Ph.D., (OGQ 2134), Independent Qualified Persons as defined by Canadian NI 43-101 standards, have reviewed and approved the geological information reported in this news release. The drilling campaign and the quality control program have been planned and supervised by Maxime Bouchard and Jérôme Augustin. The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of blank or standard every 10 samples on average, in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples accredited by Laboratoire Expert during the analytical process. Gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption and values over 3 ppm Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with finish by gravimetry by Laboratoire Expert Inc, Rouyn-Noranda. Samples containing visible gold mineralization are analyzed by metallic sieve. For additional quality assurance and quality control, all samples were crushed to 90% less than 2 mm prior to pulverization, in order to homogenize samples which may contain coarse gold. Base metal and gold analysis are provided by ALS Canada Ltd. with similar QAQC protocol. Gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption. Zinc, Copper and Silver values are estimated by four acid digestion multi elements Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), ME-ICP61. Zinc values over 1%, copper values over 1% and silver values over 100 g/t are estimated by four acid digestion ICP-AES, OG62. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration. The Qualified Persons have not completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the Property, particularly in regards to historical drill results. However, the Qualified Persons believe that drilling and analytical results were completed to industry standard practices. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Property but may not be representative of expected results.

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - January 11, 2022) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce a total of 58 drill holes focused on new areas of gold mineralization on the Perron project ("Perron" or the "Project"). See Figure 1 for a plan view of the geology of Perron and all currently known mineralized zones.

Today's results are focused on a number of new discoveries of gold and copper as well as follow-up drilling on the previously announced 210 (February 17, 2021) and Alizee (January 25, 2021) Gold Zones. These results represent regional exploration drilling as well as mineralization identified up-hole during definition and expansion drilling of known gold zones on the Perron Project. A complete list of results is available in Tables 1 through 7 and presented in Figures 1 through 4. All drilling data for the Perron project, including collar, survey, and individual assays, is available in the Amex data room at https://amexexploration.com/properties/quebec-exploration-perron-property/drill-data-room. In addition to the results presented below, Amex also announces that drilling has resumed on January 3rd with 8 drills currently operating across the Project with plans to expand to up to 11 drills during the winter months.

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration, commented, "The Perron project has historically shown a strong gold signature within the Beaupre Rhyolite Block. The results presented today further validate the gold potential of the entire Beaupre area and we are seeing gold mineralization occurring in a variety of orientation and mineralization styles. This further confirms our expectations that as we continue to advance our exploration of this strongly endowed gold system, we will continue to make additional gold discoveries and expand upon the known mineralized horizons."

Trottier continued, "The E2 Gold zone is of great significance for Amex as it has the potential to add ounces per vertical metre in close proximity to the High Grade Zone. As we have seen at the High Grade Zone we are hopeful that the strike and grade will increase at E2 as we get deeper into the system. Our regional exploration program has been a complete success by any measure and the areas highlighted in this release all warrant follow-up work."

E2 Gold Zone

The E2 Gold zone ("E2") represents one of the most significant new discoveries on the Perron Project since the discovery of the High Grade Zone ("HGZ") in 2018 (Figure 2). The E2 zone was discovered by stepping out to the East along the same structure that hosts the bonanza mineralization of the HGZ. Mineralization identified to date is very similar to the HGZ, with a repetition of a mineralized hanging wall vein, a largely unmineralized narrow mafic sill, and a mineralized footwall vein. Sulfide minerals are also very similar, with sphalerite being the most common sulfide associated with gold mineralization, along with lesser pyrite. Visible gold has been identified in several drillholes. Of particular importance is the projected plunge of the mineralization. The E2 zone is situated approximately 500 metres to the East of the HGZ, and the projected plunge of mineralization (based on drillholes to date) appears to be similar to that of the HGZ, plunging to the East-Northeast at approximately ~70 degrees (Figure 3). This is important as it represents a possible repeating ore shoot along the same structure as the HGZ. Expanding upon the E2 zone and testing its down-plunge grade and continuity is one of Amex's top priorities for the ongoing winter drilling program.

Gold-Copper Donna Zone

The Gold-Copper Donna Zone ("Donna") discovery occurs immediately north of the HGZ at depth (Figure 2). It was discovered during deep expansion drilling of the HGZ. The mineralization identified, which is similar in each of the three holes reported, consists of highly chlorite-garnet-amphibole altered rhyolite which hosts centimetre-scale stringers of chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite. The correlation between gold and copper is quite strong. Amex has completed a borehole electromagnetic survey on this new discovery and is planning follow-up drilling to be completed in the coming months.

Alizee Gold Zone

The Alizee Gold Zone ("Alizee") was previously announced as a discovery by Amex on January 25, 2021 with hole PEX-21-041 returning 22.44 g/t Au over 7.30 m. The results below are from follow-up drilling on the discovery hole (Figure 1). Gold mineralization at Alizee is associated with quartz veining, quartz-carbonate breccias, silica flooding and strong chlorite-carbonates-biotite alterations, along with sphalerite, pyrite, trace chalcopyrite, and occasionally visible gold. Amex is reviewing the data and planning follow-up drilling to be completed in the coming months.

E3 Gold Zone

The E3 Gold Zone ("E3") was discovered during regional drilling to the East of the HGZ, similar to the E2 zone (Figure 1). Amex completed systematic step out drilling along the structural corridor that hosts the Eastern Gold Zone which resulted in the discovery of the E3 zone, which is approximately 800 metres east of the HGZ (Figure 2). Gold mineralization is typical to that of Perron. Gold is hosted within quartz veins and veinlets in the altered Beaupre rhyolite, and associated with red sphalerite and pyrite mineralization.

210 Gold Zone

The 210 Gold Zone ("210") is located proximal to and south of the northern Normetal fault zone, which is one of two kilometric thrust faults located on the Perron project (Figures 1 and 2). The 210 zone was originally announced as a discovery on February 17, 2017 with hole PE-20-210 returning 58.25 g/t Au over 3.90 m. The below announced holes represent follow-up drilling to this discovery hole. The identified mineralization is located approximately 650 m north-east of the HGZ in an area that has seen limited exploration. Conveniently, Amex is able to test the near-surface portion of the 210 zone during deep definition drilling of the HGZ owing to its location. Gold mineralization is hosted within quartz veining in sodic rhyolite of the Beaupre Block.

Upper High Grade Zone

The Upper High Grade Zone ("UHGZ") is situated approximately 200 metres north of the HGZ (Figures 2 and 4). Of interest is the orientation of the UHGZ, which trends to the West-Northwest, at an angle of approximately 30 degrees away from the orientation of the HGZ. The UHGZ is often hosted by or proximal to a swarm of narrow mafic sills/dikes, and mineralization is associated with quartz veining, pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, and visible gold mineralization. Owing to its location and proximity to the HGZ, Amex is able to continue testing the UHGZ through its definition and expansion drilling program on the HGZ.

Qualified Person

Maxime Bouchard P.Geo. M.Sc.A., (OGQ 1752) and Jérôme Augustin P.Geo. Ph.D., (OGQ 2134), Independent Qualified Persons as defined by Canadian NI 43-101 standards, have reviewed and approved the geological information reported in this news release. The drilling campaign and the quality control program have been planned and supervised by Maxime Bouchard and Jérôme Augustin. Samples discussed in the press release were sent to Laboratoire Expert (Rouyn-Noranda) and AGAT Laboratories (Mississauga) for regional drilling exploration. The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of blank or standard every 10 samples on average, in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard sample. For both laboratories, gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption and values over 3 ppm Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with finish by gravimetry. Samples containing visible gold mineralization are analyzed by metallic sieve and just performed by Laboratoire Expert. For additional quality assurance and quality control, all samples were crushed to 90% less than 2 mm prior to pulverization, in order to homogenize samples which may contain coarse gold. Copper and other elements were analyzed using the four-acid ICP-AES method by Laboratoire Expert. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration. The Qualified Persons have not completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the Property, particularly in regards to historical drill results. However, the Qualified Persons believe that drilling and analytical results were completed to industry standard practices. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Property but may not be representative of expected results.
