Apex Resources Targets Copper-Molybdenum along with Gold-Silver on its
Red Ridge Property.
Vancouver, BC - March 15, 2018: Apex Resources Inc. ( TSX-V: APX) (“Apex”) is pleased to
announce that it has r eceived the final report for the 2017 geological mapping and due -diligence
rock sampling program on its Red Ridge property , Yukon. The program successfully confirmed
the presence of lead-zinc-silver-gold and copper-molybdenum mineralization.
The 2017 results, combined with historic rock and soil values, suggest the Saddle Zone is
structurally controlled, rendering this as a prime target for further exploration.
The 2017 soil sampling program revealed two proximal high gold soil anomalies located 1,200
metres west of the Saddle Zone, along the south flank of Red Ridge, indicating a newly
identified target. Two kilometres west of the Saddle Zone a coincident copper and molybdenum
anomaly of greater than 1.0 km in extent occurs downslope of the most pronounced limonitic
staining along the Red Ridge. This gossan is interpreted as hornfelsed sediments overlying the
Prospector Mountain Suite intrusion. Apex’s consultants, Aurora Geoscience, suggest this
copper-molybdenum anomaly indicates potential for a porphyry-style mineralized setting in the
western property area.
Aurora Geoscience notes that the giant, 964 million tonne, Casino porphyry deposit is centered
on a Prospector Mountain Suite intrusion, indicating this Red Ridge intrusive suite is prospective
for similar mineralization. Lead-zinc-silver veins commonly occur outbound from porphyry
centres. Local high-grade gold values may represent more distal “bonanza” veins.
Aurora Geoscience make the following recommendations for further exploration: an airborne
magnetic/ DIGHEM and possible radiometric survey, combined with a LIDAR topographic
survey; a Phase 1 program of surface exploration focusing on further rock sampling, grid soil
sampling, and geological mapping focusing on alteration assemblages and determination of
mineralized settings; and a Phase 2 diamond drilling program of 1,200 metres in eight holes.
The Phase 2 targets include:
potential extensions of the Saddle Zone along a NW-SE trending lineament;
the Miller Zone;
a newly identified gold-in-soil anomaly; and
the eastern Triassic intrusion.
Ms. Linda Dandy, VP Exploration for Apex, is presently working with Carl Schulze, P. Geo, of
Aurora Geosciences Ltd., in planning and permitting the 2018 exploration programs for Red
Ridge and the nearby Mt. Anderson property. Permit applications for both properties have now
been submitted and letters describing the proposed programs have been forwarded to the
Carcross-Tagish FN and Kwanlin Dun FN.
