Apex Critical Metals Corp Stock Price, News & Analysis

Apex Critical Metals (OTCQX:APXCF) has provided an update on its 2025 diamond drill program at the 100%-owned Cap Critical Minerals Project in central British Columbia. The company has completed four drill holes totaling 1,097 meters of the planned 1,500-meter program, targeting niobium and rare earth element mineralization in a carbonatite system.

The drilling has intersected carbonatite intervals ranging from a few meters to over 300-meter drilled thickness. Visual observations and portable XRF readings indicate the presence of pyrochlore (niobium mineral) and rare earth minerals, though laboratory confirmation is pending. The first batch of samples has been shipped to Activation Laboratories for analysis, with results expected in the coming weeks.

Apex Critical Metals (OTCQX:APXCF) has successfully graduated from the OTCQB Venture Market to the OTCQX Best Market, marking a significant milestone for the company. The upgrade demonstrates Apex's ability to meet higher financial standards and corporate governance requirements.

Trading under the symbol "APXCF", the company will now have enhanced visibility among U.S. investors, who can access real-time level 2 quotes and financial disclosures through www.otcmarkets.com. CEO Sean Charland emphasized this advancement as part of their strategy to build a leading North American critical metals exploration company.

Apex Critical Metals (OTCQB:APXCF) has launched its 2025 diamond drill program at the 100%-owned Cap Project in central British Columbia. The project, spanning 2,500 hectares, targets carbonatite-hosted niobium and rare earth element (REE) mineralization located 85 km northeast of Prince George.

The fully funded and permitted campaign will include up to 1,500 metres of diamond drilling. Previous surface exploration in 2024 yielded significant results, including 3.33% Nb₂O₅ from carbonatite outcrop samples and a 1.8 km trend of niobium and REE soil anomalies with peak values of 1.21% total rare earth oxides (TREO). The drilling program, managed by Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd., is now underway with 24-hour operations.

Apex Critical Metals (OTCQB:APXCF) has initiated mobilization for a fully funded summer drill program at its Cap Project in British Columbia. The program will utilize a Hydracore 2000 heli-portable drill rig to test high-priority niobium and rare earth element targets across a 1.8 km mineralized trend.

The campaign will include up to 1,500 metres of helicopter-supported NQ core drilling. Previous surface work in 2024 yielded significant results, including 3.33% Nb₂O₅ from carbonatite outcrop samples and peak values of 1.21% total rare earth oxides (TREO). Historical drilling has shown intercepts of 0.51% Nb₂O₅ over 4.0 metres.

The Cap Project, located 85 km northeast of Prince George, hosts a rare carbonatite complex. Drilling is expected to commence by the end of July 2025, with necessary permits secured under a Multi-Year Area-Based exploration authorization.

Apex Critical Metals (OTCQB:APXCF) has secured a drill contract with Quesnel Bros. Diamond Drilling Ltd. for a 1,500-metre summer drill program at its Cap Project in British Columbia. The heli-supported program, scheduled to begin mid-July 2025, will target high-priority niobium and rare earth element (REE) deposits.

The program follows promising 2024 exploration results, including outcrop samples with up to 3.33% Nb₂O₅ and soil anomalies extending over a 1.8 km trend with peak values of 1.21% total rare earth oxides. This marks the first drilling at Cap Project since 2017, with operations supported by Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd.

Apex Critical Metals (OTCQB:APXCF) has secured a five-year Multi-Year Area-Based Exploration Permit and is preparing for its first drill program at the CAP Project in British Columbia. The summer 2025 program will include 1,000-1,500 meters of diamond drilling, targeting a 1.8km-long niobium-in-soil anomaly. Notable 2024 exploration results include high-grade niobium samples of up to 3.33% Nb2O5 in outcrop and elevated rare earth oxide values up to 1.21% REO. A previous 2017 drill hole returned 0.35% Nb2O5 over 10.4m. The new permit allows for up to 60 diamond drill holes, with drilling expected to commence in mid-July 2025 to evaluate the scale and depth potential of the newly discovered carbonatite-hosted niobium and REO mineralization.

Apex Critical Metals Corp. (APXCF) has announced the commencement of 2025 field exploration programs at its newly acquired Bianco and Lac Le Moyne Projects in Eastern Canada.
