Almadex Acquires Ruby Hill Silver-Gold Exploration Project by Staking,
Surface Sampling returns 992 g/t Silver
VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to
announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in the Ruby Hill early-stage exploration project by staking.
The project is located in central Nevada and was identified as part of Almadex’s ongoing regional
exploration program in the western USA.
The Ruby Hill epithermal gold-silver project covers a large area of argillic alteration and silicification hosted
in rhyolite volcanic s. Zones of silicification and clay alteration have been identified within which outcrops
hosting quartz veinlets occur. Limited outcrop make it difficult to map any potential widths or orientation to
the zone of veining and the sporadic outcrops of veined rock occur over a broad area. Some historic mine
workings have also been identified which appear very old. These trenches and shafts clearly targeted zones
of veining and silicification. To date 59 grab rock samples have been taken from outcrop and float of veining
and silicified rhyolite (grab samples are selected samples and may not represent true underlying
mineralisation). These preliminary results are very encouraging as 12 of these samples returned over 25
g/t silver with 7 returning more than 100 g/t silver (up to 992 g/t silver and averaging 45 g/t silver for all 59).
Important gold values were also returned as 17 of these samples returned over 0.1 g/t gold (up to 0.94 g/t
gold and averaging 0.10 g/t gold for all 59).
A one-line IP geophysical survey was carried out across the area of alteration . This survey identified a
significant chargeability anomaly associated with a resistivity low. This feature is interpreted to represent a
potential zone of alteration and sulphide development extending to depth. Almadex plans follow-up
prospecting, sampling and geological mapping on the project, focussing on the area above the high IP
chargeability, in order to provide targeting for a future drill program.
J Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “ Our regional exploration program continues to
identify new targets for acquisition. This preliminary work at Ruby Slope has returned exciting silver and
gold results in the earliest stages of sampling which is very encouraging. We will continue to move our
early-stage projects forward this year along with our plans for drilling our more advanced properties . We
fully expect 2025 to be an important year for our Company.”
Qualified Persons and Technical Details
Morgan J Poliquin, PhD, PEng, the President and CEO of Almadex and a Qualified Person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"), has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical contents
of this news release.
The analyses reported were carried out at ALS Chemex Laboratories of Reno , Tucson, and North
Vancouver using industry standard analytical techniques. For gold, samples are first analysed by fire assay
and atomic absorption spectroscopy (“AAS”). Samples that return values greater than 10 g/t gold using this
technique are then re analysed by fire assay but with a gravimetric finish. Silver is first analysed by
Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (“ICP -AES”). Samples that return values
greater than 100 g/t silver by ICP-AES are then re analysed by HF-HNO3-HCLO4 digestion with HCL leach
and ICP-AES finish. Of these samples those that return silver values greater than 1,500 g/t are further
analysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
The IP line w as surveyed using the Company’s highly experienced in -house team and equipment (GDD
transmitter and Iris Elrec -6 receivers using a 100 m dipole in a pole -dipole array). Pseudo sections were
prepared, and the data was inverted using RES2DINV software. Geophysical surveys are not definitive,
and the results are still at an early stage of interpretation, with no guarantee of a mineral discovery.
About Almadex
Almadex Minerals Ltd. is an exploration company that holds a large mineral portfolio consisting of projects
and NSR royalties in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. This portfolio is the direct result of many years of
prospecting and deal -making by Almadex's management team. The Company owns several portable
diamond drill rigs, enabling it to conduct cost effective first pass exploration drilling in house. The Almadex
team have significant porphyry lithocap exploration experience and have made three discoveries of mineral
deposits under advanced argillic alteration. Our success comes from our audacity, in house exploration
capacity and most importantly our ability to drill with our company owned drilling unit. We have assembled
a portfolio of lithocap targets that have the potential to be concealing large porphyry systems at depth as
well as high sulphidation epithermal gold-silver systems in the best jurisdiction we know: the United States
of America. We have the cash and drills to advance and test these targets and will begin to do so in 2025.
