Apex Critical Metals (OTCQX:APXCF, CSE:APXC) appointed Trevor Hall to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Hall is CEO of Clear Commodity Network, host of Mining Stock Daily, and has extensive mining and commodities communications experience with strong ties to Nebraska, where Apex’s flagship Rift Rare Earth Project is located.

Apex highlights Rift within Nebraska’s Elk Creek Carbonatite Complex, where historical drillholes in a 700 m corridor returned broad intervals of >2.00% REO and higher-grade >3.00% REO zones. The 2026 drilling program has extended high-grade mineralization about 380 m from historical holes and outlined a new “Neo Zone” with strongly elevated NdPr, showing NdPr distributions between 30–50%. In Canada, the 100%-owned Cap Project near Prince George, BC reported 0.59% Nb₂O₅ over 36 m, including 1.08% Nb₂O₅ over 10 m, within a 1.8 km niobium trend, supporting the company’s strategy to build a North American critical minerals portfolio.

About Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE:APXC)(OTCQX:APXCF)(FWB:KL9)(Euronext Access Paris:MLAPX)

Apex Critical Metals Corp. is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing rare earth element (REE) and niobium projects that support the growing demand for critical and strategic metals across the United States and Canada. The Company's flagship Rift Project, located within the highly prospective Elk Creek Carbonatite Complex in Nebraska, U.S.A., hosts extensive rare earth rights surrounding one of North America's most advanced niobium deposits. Two historical drillholes located within the 700 m corridor of interest returned broad intervals of >2.00% REO, with higher grade (>3.00% REO) intervals within. The Company's 2026 drilling has continued to demonstrate this grade profile and have expanded the footprint of the high-grade mineralization over approximately 380 m from the historical drillholes. Additionally, drilling has delineated a new horizon ("Neo Zone") of strongly elevated NdPr beneath the high-grade material with NdPr distributions between 30-50%.

In Canada, Apex continues to advance its 100%-owned Cap Project, located 85 kilometres northeast of Prince George, British Columbia. The 2025 drill program confirmed an emerging niobium discovery with 0.59% Nb₂O₅ over 36 metres, including 1.08% Nb₂O₅ over 10 metres, within a 1.8-kilometre-long niobium trend. The Cap Project continues to demonstrate strong potential for niobium mineralization within a large and previously unrecognized carbonatite system.

With a growing portfolio of critical mineral projects in both Canada and the United States, Apex Critical Metals is strategically positioned to help strengthen domestic supply chains for the minerals essential to advanced technologies, clean energy, and national security. Apex is publicly listed in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the symbol APXC and quoted on the OTCQX market in the United States under the symbol APXCF, in Germany on the Borse Frankfurt under the symbol KL9 and/or WKN: A40CCQ, and on Euronext Access Paris under the symbol "MLAPX.
