• Six drill holes expand shallow uranium mineralization footprint in Pod 1 (i.e., within 50 metres from surface), eleven drill holes confirmed uranium starting within 100 metres from surface in three Pods

• Shallow uranium mineralization updip of Pod 7 remains largely untested and requires further follow-up drilling

Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) (“Baselode” or the “Company”) is pleased to release uranium (“U3O8”) assay results from all 28 drill holes of the 2024 drill program on the ACKIO prospect area (“ACKIO”) in the Athabasca Basin (“Basin”) area of northern Saskatchewan (Figure 1).

“We’re especially encouraged with 6 drill holes intersecting uranium within 50 m from surface and 11 drill holes within 100 m from surface. These shallow mineralization results continue to demonstrate ACKIO’s unique advantage in the Basin area with easily accessible, near-surface uranium. Last year’s summer drill program successfully defined more shallow uranium mineralization to the north and south of our shallowest uranium zone, Pod 1. Uranium at the overburden-bedrock contact still remains open to the south and north.

“Drilling at Pods 6 and 7 intersected higher average uranium grades over greater widths than previously intersected, suggesting there’s a zoned lower-grade to higher-grade uranium concentrations within those Pods. In addition, Pod 7 still requires a detailed investigation of uranium potential at the overburden-bedrock contact, which has not been tested to the same degree as Pod 1. We believe some of the higher-grade zones within Pod 7 extend up to the overburden-bedrock contact and have yet to be drill tested,” commented James Sykes, CEO, President, and Director of Baselode.

Pod 1 Summary (Figure 2, Table 1)

Six drill holes (AK24-134 to AK24-137, and AK24-143 & AK24-144) intersected uranium mineralization within 50 m from surface. AK24-137 intersected 0.38% U₃O₈ over 9.15 m at 37.35 m drill hole depth (3.5 grade*thickness, “GT“), confirming Pod 1’s uranium footprint at the overburden-bedrock contact to the south. Drill holes AK24-143 and AK24-144 successfully confirmed shallow uranium at Pod 1 to the north with 0.12% U₃O₈ over 11.8 m at 65.2 m drill hole depth (1.4 GT) and 0.12% U₃O₈ over 9.0 m at 51.5 m drill hole depth (1.1 GT), respectively.

Pod 6 Summary

As previously reported (October 3, 2024), drill hole AK24-118 intersected 8.5 metres of 0.59% U₃O₈ (5.0 GT), and AK24-119 returned 21.0 metres of 0.28% U₃O₈ (5.8 GT), ranking as the two best intersections in Pod 6, ranking amongst the top 20 drill holes at ACKIO, and enhancing our understanding of uranium mineralization controls at ACKIO.

Pod 7 Summary

Drill holes AK24-135B and AK24-138 intersected the second and third best individual uranium intersections in Pod 7 with 0.18% U₃O₈ over 28.0 m at 98.0 m depth (5.0 GT), and 0.19% U₃O₈ over 23.0 m at 81.5 m depth (4.3 GT), respectively.

In addition, two other drill holes (AK24-137 and AK24-139) rank amongst the top 10 drill intersections in Pod 7 with 2.5 GT each, and drill holes AK24-135B, AK24-137 and AK24-138 rank amongst the top 20 drill holes at ACKIO due to their combined intersections of Pod 1 and Pod 7.

Drill holes AK24-134 to AK24-139 have increased our confidence and understanding of uranium mineralization controls at Pod 7, as the system seems to be comprised of a higher-grade core with a lower-grade uranium envelope.

Pod 8 & Pod 9 Summaries

Drill hole AK24-133 intersected the second best results in Pod 8 with 0.09% U₃O₈ over 11.5 m at 130.5 m depth (1.0 GT).

The results from Pod 8 and Pod 9 exploration drill holes have required the company to re-consider the overall structural architecture of these specific parts of ACKIO as the uranium mineralization system was not as predictable as it is in other Pods.

Exploration results

Drill holes AK24-120 to AK24-127 and AK24-129 to AK24-130 were designed to test for depth extension, strike extensions, and unconformity-style of uranium mineralization. Although none of the drill holes intersected any new zones of uranium mineralization, they all share geochemical anomalous lead (Pb) isotope ratios, boron (B), and uranium (U), including a predominant Mg-chlorite-rich clay type.

NOTES:

All reported lengths and depths, aside from “metres from surface” are drill hole measurements and do not represent true thicknesses, which have yet to be determined.

Podcast Overview
Andrew Bowering, Chairman of Apollo Silver Corp shares his extensive background in the mining industry, which spans 35 years. Andy explains how he founded Apollo Silver at the request of investors, raising significant funds and acquiring assets from mid-tier to major companies in the silver space.

The conversation then shifts to the recent appointment of Ross McElroy as CEO of Apollo Silver. Andy highlights Ross’ extensive experience in the industry, including his recent sale of Fission Uranium for $1.1 billion, and expresses enthusiasm about having Ross now lead the Apollo team. (Related news release)

California Mining Landscape and Calico Project
Andy discusses the mining landscape in California, highlighting the state’s complex history with mining and environmental concerns. He explains that while California has been less popular for mining in recent years due to environmental regulations and water scarcity, there are still areas like San Bernardino County where mining operations are active. Andrew then describes Apollo’s project, situated primarily on private land designated for mining, emphasizing its favorable location and historical significance. He also mentions the project’s geological advantages, including a 1:1 strip ratio and a straightforward geological formation.

Calico Project
Andrew discusses the Calico project, which consists of three deposits: two silver (Waterloo and Langtry) and an historical gold deposit, The Burcham Mine. The project contains approximately 160 million ounces of silver and 70,000 ounces of gold. Andrew also mentions the presence of barite, a critical mineral, which could be valuable for negotiations with the government. For the upcoming year, the company plans to announce a compliant barite resource, conduct a drill program to determine the size of the gold resource, and perform an economic study on the silver resource.

Cinco De Mayo Mining Project
Andrew discusses their large mining project called Cinco de Mayo, located northwest of Chihuahua City in North Mexico. He explains that the project, potentially the largest CRD (Carbonate Replacement Deposit) in North America, lost its social license in 2012 when local surface owners banned mining. Andrew’s company, Apollo, has been given a five-year option to resolve community issues and resume drilling. He draws parallels to his previous success with Prime Mining in Sinaloa, Mexico, where he restored community support and unlocked significant value. Andrew believes his team’s local connections and experience will help them resolve the social license issues at Cinco de Mayo, potentially turning it into a highly valuable project.

Mining in Northern Mexico’s Economy
Andrew shares the importance of mining in Northern Mexico’s economy and the recent changes in government policy. He explains that the previous government tried to restrict mining, but the new Sheinbaum government is now opening up the sector for foreign investment. Andrew emphasizes the positive impact of mineral exploration and mine development on local communities in Mexico. He mentions that officials from Chihuahua’s Ministry of Mines visited their office, expressing excitement about the potential reopening of the Cinco de Mayo project, which could bring significant economic benefits to the area.

Mining Industry Success
Andrew talks about the key elements for success in the mining industry, emphasizing the importance of good assets, a strong management team, and a solid shareholder base with a good capital structure. He stresses the value of teamwork and hiring smart, hardworking individuals. Andrew explains his role in raising money and promotion, while also highlighting his hands-on experience and personal financial commitment to Apollo. He says he believes that demonstrating leadership through personal investment attracts good supporters, which in turn brings more supporters and provides the patience needed for long-term projects.

Apollo Silver Corp. (“Apollo” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: APGO, OTCQB: APGOF, Frankfurt: 6ZF0) is pleased to announce it has acquired 2,215 hectares (“ha”) of highly prospective claims contiguous to its Waterloo property at its Calico Silver Project (“Calico” or “Calico Project”). The newly acquired claims herein referred to as the Mule claims comprise 415 lode mining claims, and have been acquired from LAC Exploration LLC (“LAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX: LAC; NYSE: LAC), who were the previous operators of the property. Preliminary mapping and sampling conducted by the prior operator of the Mule claims identified several high-grade silver targets, which will be evaluated as part of Apollo’s future exploration planning.

In addition, a mapping and sampling program was recently completed at the Burcham gold prospect area in the southwest region of the Waterloo property (see news release dated February 12, 2025). This program confirmed the importance of the Calico fault system with respect to controls on the silver (“Ag)” and gold (“Au”) mineralization in the area and has identified the potential for copper (“Cu”), zinc (“Zn”) and lead (“Pb”) mineralization associated with stratabound and mantos lenses.

Highlights:

• Mule claims expand the Calico Project land package by over 285%, from 1,194 ha to 3,409 ha of contiguous claims.
  • Mule claims trend along the mineralized Calico Fault System responsible for mineralization seen at Calico.
  • Reports from the prior operator indicate that there are several strongly anomalous silver values on the property, which Apollo will attempt to ground-truth in the coming exploration programs.
  • Sampling done across the Mule claims by previous operator has identified a large Ag anomaly associated with the same suite of host rocks at the Waterloo property.
• Exploration at the Burcham prospect at Waterloo included assays from 27 surface samples:
  • Assay peaks up to 14.10 g/t Au, 20.70 g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu, 22.80% Zn and 5.74 % Pb from various samples (see Table 1).
  • Identification of strata-bound lenses and mantos that show strong potential for Cu, Zn and Pb mineralization.

Ross McElroy, President and CEO of Apollo, commented , “The addition of the Mule claims substantially enhances the Calico Project. Calico already hosts 3 discrete drill delineated zones with resource estimates along a 4km long trend, along the Calico fault zone. The Mule claims increase the overall land area of the Calico project by more than 2.5x. The new claims are strategically located to the east along the very prolific Calico mineralized corridor and represent a great opportunity for further discoveries. Apollo is committed to continuing to unlock value in California for our shareholders.”

Mule Claims Acquisition

The Mule claims are composed of 415 lode mining claims administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Mapping and sampling conducted by the previous operators across the Mule claims has identified a continuation of the mineralized Calico Fault System. The sedimentary rocks of the Barstow formation which hosts the Waterloo silver deposit, as well as the volcanic Pickhandle formation are pronounced all over the acquired claims. The contact between the Barstow and Pickhandle formation has demonstrated potential for gold mineralization as is seen at Waterloo. Sampling across the Mule claims has identified several strong Ag and Au anomalies. Apollo plans to conduct its own follow up exploration program on the Mule claims to better develop its own exploration targets and delineate where this highly prospective contact is exposed.

Details of the Transaction

The Mule claims were acquired by Apollo’s wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Stronghold Silver USA Corp. (“Stronghold”), from LAC. As consideration for the acquisition, Apollo paid US$250,000 in cash, and LAC retains a 2.0% net smelter return royalty (the “Royalty”) on the Mule claims.

Apollo, through Stronghold, retains the right to buy back 1.0% of the Royalty at any time on or before the date that is thirty (30) days from the date of commencement of commercial production, for a payment of US$1,000,000.

2025 Burcham Exploration Program

The Company has completed its previously announced surface exploration work at its Burcham prospect (see news release dated February 12, 2025). The work completed consisted of detailed mapping, sample collection and target generation, with the aim to follow up with future drilling.

The exploration team has completed some of the most detailed mapping to date at the Calico Project, including previous programs at Langtry and Waterloo. Structures dominating at Burcham are similar to those at Waterloo with the system being dominated by the Calico Fault, a sinuous moderately plunging reverse fault that dips steeply to the north. Potential for Au mineralization is strong along the contact of the Burcham and Pickhandle formations. Previously unrecognised, stratiform mantos and lenses occupying fold flexures show strong potential for Cu mineralization. This type of mantos have been historically mined on the north side of the Waterloo deposit, and occur near the contact between the Pickhandle Formation and the overlying Barstow Formation. Historic mining on the North side of Waterloo Deposit targeted a manto about 1.5 m thick. Copper mineralization is associated with strong hydrothermal alteration which is seen to diminish as you move eastward along the property. Assays of the sample results are presented in Table 1.

Table 1: Location and Assay Results of Samples Collected

Sampling and Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Grab samples were collected in the field and a 2 kg representative sample was sent for analysis. Rock samples are catalogued and securely stored in a warehouse facility in Barstow, California until they are ready for secure shipment to ALS Global Geochemistry in Reno, Nevada (“ALS Reno”) for sample preparation and gold analysis. After preparation, splits of prepared pulps are securely shipped to ALS Vancouver, British Columbia for analysis.

Samples were prepared at ALS Reno (Prep-31 package) with each sample crushed to better than 70% passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, U.S. Std. No. 10) screen. A split of 250 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85% passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, U.S Std. No 200) screen. Surface samples were analyzed using complete characterization via the CCP-PK05 methods, which include whole rock analysis (ME-ICP06), ME-MS61, single element trace method using aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS (ME-MS42) and rare earth elements using the method ME-ME81, which consists of lithium borate fusion followed by ICP-MS. All surface samples were submitted for gold analysis by fire assay (Au-AA23). Over-range samples analyzed for copper, lead and zinc were re-submitted for analysis using a four-acid digestion and ICP-AES finish (method OG62) with a range of 0.001-50% for copper, 0.001-20% for lead, and 0.001-30% for zinc. Gold was analyzed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish (method Au-AA25) with a reportable range of 0.01-100 ppm Au. All analyses were completed at ALS Vancouver except for gold by fire assay, which was completed at ALS Reno.

The Company’s Qualified Person is of the opinion that the sample preparation, analytical, and security procedures followed are sufficient and reliable.
