Apex Launches Extensive 2025 Re-Analysis of Preserved Historical Drill Core at Rift Rare Earth Project Near Elk Creek, Nebraska
Apex Critical Metals Corp (OTCQX:APXCF) has begun an extensive 2025 re-logging and re-sampling program of historical drill core from the Rift Rare Earth Project near Elk Creek, Nebraska.
Work overseen by Dahrouge Geological Consulting will select samples for modern multi-element analysis at Actlabs using Fusion ICP-MS, ICP-OES and XRF. Initial results are expected in Q1 2026. Historical Molycorp data are disclosed as historical, non‑NI 43-101 and will be validated only after Apex's own sampling and analysis.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 24, 2025 / Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE:APXC)(FSE:KL9)(OTCQX:APXCF) ("Apex" or the "Company"), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the identification and development of critical and strategic metals, is pleased to announce that it has commenced an extensive 2025 re-sampling and re-logging program of historical drill core from the Rift Rare Earth Project, located near Elk Creek, Nebraska, USA.
The historical drill programs were completed during the 1970s and 1980s by Molycorp Inc., and a substantial portion of the drill core, and sample material have been preserved and are available for modern analysis.
The Company has retained Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. to oversee the program. Dahrouge previously completed similar verification and re-sampling work for Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp. in 2010-2011, which supported the first modern NI 43-101 Technical Reports for the Elk Creek district. Apex's 2025 work will include re-logging of drillholes and the selection of samples for multi-element analysis. All samples will be analyzed by Actlabs using modern Fusion ICP-MS, ICP-OES and XRF. Initial results are expected during the first quarter of 2026.
Apex CEO, Sean Charland, states: "We are grateful to the Conservation and Survey Division, School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska-Lincoln for ensuring the preservation of the historical Molycorp material. Having access to this material is a tremendous resource to draw from and our 2025 re-logging and re-sampling program initiative at Rift will provide a modern analytical foundation for understanding the scale and grade potential of the system."
The results of this work will support Apex's ongoing geological interpretation and modelling of the Rift carbonatite system, which is host to significant rare earth element ("REE") and niobium mineralization. The Rift Project covers a series of carbonatite and related intrusive rocks which form part of the broader Elk Creek district, a region known to contain high-grade REE and niobium mineralization at depth.
Historical drilling by Molycorp identified multiple zones of REE- and niobium-bearing carbonatite within the boundaries of Apex's current holdings at Elk Creek though these results pre-date NI 43-101 and are therefore non-compliant with current reporting standards. Apex is not treating the historical results or estimates as current mineral resources or reserves.
Qualified Person
The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Nathan Schmidt, P. Geo., Geologist for Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 on standards of disclosure for mineral projects.
The results discussed in this document are considered historical. An Apex Critical Metals Corp. qualified person has not performed sufficient work or data verification to validate these historical results in accordance with NI 43-101, and therefore results should not be relied upon until such time that the Company has carried out its own sampling, drilling and modern analysis.

Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Forward-looking statements in this news release include (without limitation) statements with respect to the planned re-logging and re-sampling of certain historical drill cores and when the Company expects to receive results from such activities, , the potential benefits of undertaking a re-analysis of the historical drill cores, and statements regarding the Company's Canadian and US-based prospective assets more particularly described above.. Forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or developments to differ materially from those contained in the statements. Risks that could change or prevent these events, activities or developments from coming to fruition include: the Company's properties are at an early stage of development and no current mineral resources or reserves have been identified by the Company thereof, that we may not be able to fully finance any additional exploration on the Company's properties; that even if we are able to raise capital, costs for exploration activities may increase such that we may not have sufficient funds to pay for such exploration or processing activities; the timing and content of any future work programs; geological interpretations based on drilling that may change with more detailed information; potential process methods and mineral recoveries assumptions based on limited test work and by comparison to what are considered analogous deposits that, with further test work, may not be comparable; testing of our process may not prove successful or samples derived from our properties may not yield positive results, and even if such tests are successful or initial sample results are positive, the economic and other outcomes may not be as expected; the anticipated market demand for REE and other minerals may not be as expected; the availability of labour and equipment to undertake future exploration work and testing activities; geopolitical risks which may result in market and economic instability. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
