Significant Rare Earth Mineralization Confirmed by Apex at the Rift Project

Apex Critical Metals Corp. has released notable assay results from its Rift Rare Earth Project in Nebraska. Drillholes RIFT26-008 and RIFT26-010 have revealed high mineralization at the Trinity Zone. RIFT26-008 intersected 191.9 meters at 2.63% REO, with highlights including 52.2 meters at 3.54% REO and 12.3 meters at 5.63% REO. This confirms the zone's extension to the south and down-dip.

RIFT26-010, positioned east of historical drillhole NEC11-004, reports 72.6 meters of 2.03% REO. These results suggest mineralization expansion in all directions. Meanwhile, the Trinity Zone's hematite-altered carbonatite remains a consistent feature across all drill sites.

Apex aims to complete a Mineral Resource Estimate by early 2027, supported by ongoing drilling and analysis. This expansion strengthens Apex's resource footprint, ensuring sustained exploration efforts throughout 2026.
