Amex Reports 47.70 m of 16.97 g/t Au from High Grade Zone at Perron

Amex Exploration Inc. announces a significant intercept of 47.70 meters at 16.97 g/t Au from hole PE-23-710, identified during resource-focused drilling of the High Grade Zone ("HGZ"), part of the Eastern Gold Zone ("EGZ"), of the Perron Project. 

As part of Amex's resource-focused drilling, it was recommended that the Company drill west-east to define the margins of a late cross-cutting Proteozoic Diabase Dike, in order to precisely quantify its shape and volume for resource modelling. During this exercise, Amex drilled partially along the strike of the HGZ and identified spectacular visible gold over a significant width (see Figure 3) in an area previously thought to be weakly mineralized. These results showcase the along-strike continuity as well as the consistent high-grade nature of the HGZ. Amex is currently completing five additional drillholes in this orientation to define the dike from near-surface to depth.

Today's highlight results (in core length) include:

PE-23-710: 16.97 g/t Au over 47.70 m at a vertical depth between 140 m and 180 m

Including: 53.11 g/t Au over 13.20 m and 614.74 g/t Au over 0.50 m.

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "Today's results clearly demonstrate the continuity of the High Grade Zone along strike in the near-surface portion of the system. Equally significant is the discovery of ultra high-grade gold mineralization where we previously thought there was little to no gold and therefore should have a net positive impact on the resource calculation of this HGZ."
