American Pacific Samples up to 45.5% Copper from Underground Workings and Advances Regional Sampling Program at its Madison Project

AMERICAN PACIFIC SAMPLES UP TO 45.5% COPPER FROM UNDERGROUND

WORKINGS AND ADVANCES REGIONAL SAMPLING PROGRAM AT ITS MADISON

PROJECT

Vancouver, British Columbia / September 26, 2024 – American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD / OTCQX:

USGDF / FWB: 1QC) (“American Pacific” or the “Company”) is pleased to report high-grade underground

sampling results and provide an update on the ongoing regional sampling work at the Company’s 100 %-

owned Madison Copper-Gold Project (“Madison” or the “Project”) in Montana.

During a recent visit to Madison, the Company accessed the upper levels of the Madison Mine and

collected four (4) samples from the ribs of the old mine workings w here visible copper oxidation and

copper sulfide mineralization remains in the exposed back and ribs (see Photo 1).

Sample Highlights:

• MADZH24-003: 45.50% Cu and 2.17 g/t Au

• MADZH24-001: 31.00% Cu and 8.40 g/t Au

• MADZH24-002: 23.30% Cu and 1.90 g/t Au

• MADZH24-004: 3.19% Cu and 0.14 g/t Au

Notes: Cu = copper; Au = gold; g/t = grams per tonne

Sampling Methodology

Samples were collected across a 20-foot section, with each sample being five feet wide. These were

taken in the form of channel samples, ensuring representative material was extracted for analysis. This

consistent sampling methodology helps provide accurate and reliable data reflective of the target area.

“These incredibly high copper values from the past underground workings highlight the type of grade the

mineralized system at Madison can carry, and our recently completed Phase I drilling demonstrated that

significant grades continue well beyond the areas mined out by predecessors,” commented CEO Warwick

Smith. “Our ongoing regional sampling and structural mapping work is designed to refine our step-out

and extension focused drilling plans and generate additional discovery targets throughout the broader

property package. We look forward to sharing further results and our updated 3D model and Phase II plan

in Q4, 2024.”

Mapping and Sampling

A comprehensive geological exploration program has now commenced at Madison, aimed at identifying

new mineralized zones and expanding known areas of interest. The program will follow up on historic

high-grade samples, while detailed mapping of geological structures will provide insights into the mineral

potential of areas beyond the current mine sites. This work, along with data collected from mapping and

sampling efforts, will inform the design and implementation of future drilling and exploration programs.

The Madison Mine is dry to the 200-foot level of the 600-foot final mining level by Coronado in 2012. Nine

hundred feet of the 2600 feet of ramp, are currently accessible. The focus of Coronado was on the high -

grade copper sulfide material (chalcocite) wit h no real consideration for the gold or native copper

mineralization. Conversely, the Broadway Mine, active from 1900 to 1950, focused exclusively on oxidized

gold mineralization with no consideration of copper mineralization or gold in sulfides. This prov ides

American Pacific with numerous opportunities in the near -mine area due to those past highly selective

mining techniques.

Madison Project Sampling and Analysis Quality Assurance and Quality Control Statement

The Company is committed to maintaining high standards of accuracy and reliability in our sampling and

analysis procedures. The following Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) measures are

employed in our sampling and analysis processes.

Analytical Methods for the samples include:

1. ME-MS61 - 48 Element Suite using a Four Acid digestion followed by ICP-MS (Inductively

Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry)

2. ME-OG62 - Ore Grade Elements using Four Acid digestion and analysis by ICP-AES (Optical

Emission Spectroscopy)

3. Cu-OG62 - Ore Grade Copper using Four Acid digestion and analysis by ICP-AES for high-grade

copper samples

4. Au-AA23 - Au analysis using a 30g fire assay with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish

The Company believes that the QAQC measures employed provide a reliable basis for the assay data

presented in this release.
