Apex Resources Receives 67.0 g/t Gold and 2,058.0 g/t Silver Assays from Initial
Exploration at Mount Anderson Property, Yukon
October 11 , 2017, Vancouver, BC - Apex Resources Inc. ("Apex" or the "Company)
(TSXV: APX) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the Phase 1 exploration
program on its Mount Anderson Property, located 55 kilometres south of Whitehorse in the
Yukon Territory. The road accessible, 3,100 hectare Mt. Anderson Property is located adjacent to the
historic Mount Skukum gold mine and has had considerable prior exploration work by other operators.
The Phase I geological mapping and rock sampling program was carried out by Aurora
Geosciences Ltd. of Whitehorse, YT . The prog ram investigated, confirmed and expanded a
number of historic gold and silver showings on the property . The following table shows the
highlights of this rock sampling program:

A total of 104 rock samples were collected. The majority of these samples represent narrow
chip, grab or float samples taken from historic trenches and adits and from new mineralized
zones along strike from these historic workings. The 2017 results are of comparable quality to
historical gold and silver grades reported by previous operators. The results successfully confirm
the presence of high grade gold and silver mineralization that is often coincident with good base
metal (lead, zinc and copper) values.

In 1985 Noranda Exploration Ltd put in a 1,100 sample soil geochemical grid of approximately
3,000 by 1,300 metres in size, covering the main showings. The survey showed gold, silver and
lead soil anomalies to extend well be yond the known showings. Apex’s rock sample locations
can be seen on the geochemical anomaly plots (see link). It is readily apparent that less than
20% of the principal gold -silver soil anomaly has been tested by the 2017 exploration program.
(The Noranda results are considered historic in nature but the 2017 rock geochemical results are
consistent with Noranda’s results suggesting the historic sample results are reliable.)
In addition to Noranda’s work, between 2010 and 2012 previous property operator Go ld World
Resources Ltd. completed a 4 ,600 sample MMI soil survey, plus a detailed airborne geophysical
survey. The immediate focus of the Apex exploration team is the compilation of this historic
work in order to provide well defined targets for the next exploration phase. An expanded
exploration program consisting of IP and magnetometer geophysical surveys and excavator
trenching is planned for Phase 2 in order to prepare the property for diamond drill testing.
Arthur Troup President of Apex said: “We are very excited by the results of the 2017 program.
The sampling program combined with the historic work suggests the property has potential for
bulk tonnage mineral deposit s comprised of high grade veins within broad zones of low grade
mineralization. We expect that our compilation of the large amount of good quality work
completed previously by Noranda and Gold World will provide strong target areas that will
result in a very active drilling program in 2018.”
The Mount Anderson exploration program is being conducted under the supervision of Ms.
Linda Dandy, P.Geo., Director. Ms. Dandy is a "Qualified Person" for the purpose of NI 43 -101
