Apollo Silver: Advancing Two Significant Silver Projects in the US and Mexico

Apollo Silver (TSXV:APGO,OTCQB:APGOF,FSE:6ZF0) is a silver-focused exploration company advancing a dual-asset strategy through two high-potential projects in North America: the Calico Silver Project in California, USA, and the Cinco de Mayo project in Chihuahua, Mexico. Both projects are situated in mining-friendly jurisdictions with robust infrastructure and a history of significant exploration work.

At Calico, Apollo Silver advances the Waterloo deposit through geological modeling, barite resource definition, and engineering studies. Calico hosts 110 Moz of silver (measured and indicated) and 51 Moz (inferred), with recent test work producing a 94.6 percent barite concentrate.

In Mexico, the Cinco de Mayo project offers rare optionality, featuring a historical inferred resource of 154 Moz silver equivalent (385 g/t) and a high-impact discovery opportunity at the Pegaso Zone. Under an option agreement with MAG Silver, Apollo is executing a 20,000-meter drill program to earn full ownership of the project.

Apollo Silver's project location map

The Calico Silver Project, located 15 km from Barstow, California, includes the adjacent Waterloo and Langtry properties. Calico hosts a combined resource of 110 Moz silver (measured and indicated, 100 g/t) and 51 Moz silver (inferred, 77 g/t). The shallow, laterally extensive deposit offers strong geologic continuity and a low 1.1:1 strip ratio, supporting a potential low-impact open-pit operation. Recent drilling confirmed a 95 percent conversion rate from inferred to measured and indicated resources at Waterloo.

​Company Highlights

  • Tier-1 US Silver Asset – Calico Project: Hosts 110 Moz silver (measured and indicated) and 51 Moz silver (inferred), making it the largest undeveloped primary silver deposit in the US.
  • High-grade Discovery Potential – Cinco de Mayo: An option to acquire a district-scale carbonate replacement deposit with a historical inferred resource of 154 Moz silver equivalent at 386 g/t, offering further upside from the Pegaso Zone discovery target.
  • Barite Critical Minerals Exposure: Calico includes a historical in-ground barite estimate of 4.5 Mt, with 2023 flotation tests producing 94.6 percent barite concentrate, meeting US estimates API specifications for petroleum drilling fluids.

Ramp Metals Provides Drilling Update and Confirms Copper-Zinc Mineralization at Rush Target

Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) (“Ramp Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has intersected semi-massive and massive sulphides with chalcopyrite and sphalerite mineralization at the Rush target.

The Rush target is a NE-SW trending conductive anomaly over 1100m in length. Rock samples from the October 2024 field program returned values of up to 1.61% copper, 0.79 g/t gold, and up to 113 g/t silver across different samples. In addition, soil geochemistry samples taken above the anomaly returned values up to 798.5ppm copper and 21,152ppb silver(21.15 g/t). More details can be found in the Press Release dated January 20th.

Drilling to date has intersected semi massive and massive sulphide mineralization in all 3 drill holes at Rush. The presence of sphalerite and chalcopyrite has been confirmed with a Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL5 Plus handheld XRF analyzer.

Rush-001 was drilled to 177m and intersected disseminated sulphide and stringer mineralization from approximately 12.5m – 30m in depth. Semi-massive sulphides were intersected from approximately 31.5m – 33.25m. Massive sulphides were intersected over 3.2m from 61.50-64.69m (Figure 1).

The final hole drilled at Ranger, Ranger-008, tested one of the new eastern EM anomalies described in the April 14th news release.

QA/QC

Uncut whole NQ drill core was analyzed by a Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL5 Plus handheld XRF, operated by Ramp Metals staff on site. The Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (“pXRF”) data is exploratory in nature and is used predominantly as an internal workflow to assist in target prioritization and mineral identification through an early phase of exploration investigation. pXRF data is not provided as it is not an indicator of representative geochemistry of the entire rock mass and therefore should only be viewed as an initial screening prior to laboratory assays.

Drill core is currently being logged, sampled and cut by diamond saw. Samples will be shipped as they are processed for laboratory analysis at Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd.(“BV”), an internationally recognized and ISO 17025:2017 accredited analytical services provider, at its Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. The first batch of samples is anticipated to be shipped to within the next week.

Drill core samples are marked in maximum intervals of up to 1.5m and cut in half using a diamond saw with half sent for assay and the other half saved for reference. Samples are then bagged and zip-tied, with 15 bagged samples placed into sealed rice bags and then 20 rice bags placed in mega bags for transport to BV. Sample QA/QC procedures were applied by inserting a regular and systematic schedule of standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream. Control samples consisting of certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company’s QA/QC protocol at a rate of 1:15 or better in addition to BV’s internal quality assurance programs.

Rock samples will be prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where samples are weighed, dried, and crushed to greater than 70% passing a 2mm sieve, then pulverized to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples will be analyzed in accordance with BV’s MA300 and FA330 packages, for both multi-element ICP analysis (0.25 g, multi-acid and ICP-ES analysis) and gold analysis by fire assay (30g fire assay with AAS finish). Gold returning >10ppm is automatically analyzed by gravimetric method in accordance with BV’s standard of practice.
