APGO Apollo Silver Corp

Apollo Silver Corp. (“Apollo” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:APGO, OTCQB:APGOF, Frankfurt:6ZF) is pleased to announce it has filed on SEDAR an independent technical report (the “Technical Report”) for the Langtry Silver-Barite Project (“Langtry” or the “Langtry Project”), located in San Bernardino County, California. The Technical Report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“N.I. 43-101”) Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects by Global Resource Engineering, of Denver, Colorado. The Technical Report is the first N.I. 43-101 filed for the Langtry Project and provides a comprehensive history of the project. There are no material differences in the Technical Report from the information disclosed in previous Apollo disclosure.

The Technical Report can be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and on the Company’s website (www.apollosilver.com).

Previous Technical Work at the Langtry Project

The Langtry and nearby Waterloo projects are Apollo’s cornerstone silver-barite projects located near Barstow, California. At Langtry, an extensive amount of historical technical work has been completed by over a period of 40 years by previous operators Superior Oil and Athena Minerals Corp. Work programs included geological mapping, geochemical sampling, surface trenching and drilling (approximately 20,710 metres (67,946 feet) in 161 drill holes in the database for the Technical Report). A historic resource estimate was completed in 2012 by SRK for Athena Minerals Corp., based on Athena’s 2012 drilling and validated Superior Oil data. The historical resource estimate comprises 12.7 million tons grading 1.48 ounce per tonne for a total of 18.8 million ounces of contained silver in the Indicated category and 30.4 million tons grading 1.40 ounce per tonne for a total of 42.6 million ounces of silver in the Inferred Category as detailed below in Table 1. The reader is cautioned that this resource estimate is historical in nature and the Company is not treating it, or any part of it, as a current mineral resource. See note on historical mineral resources below.

Note: Reference to historic resources at Langtry refer to Moran et al, 2012, which was an internal report on the Langtry Silver Project, San Bernardino County, California: prepared for Athena Silver Corp, April 2012. [Accessed April 30, 2021]. Historic resources are reported here as documented in original documents. Abbreviations are ounces per short ton (opt) and tonnes are imperial. The historical mineral resources discussed here were calculated using mining industry standard practices for estimating Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves (2005) which was prior to the implementation of the current Canadian Institute of Mining’s (‘CIM’) standards for mineral resource estimation (as defined by the CIM Definition Standard on Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves dated May 10, 2014). The reader is cautioned not to treat them, or any part of them, as current mineral resources or reserves. An independent Qualified Person (‘QP’) has not completed sufficient work to classify the estimates discussed as current mineral resources or reserves and therefore the estimates should be treated as historical in nature and not current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Apollo’s QP, Cathy Fitzgerald, has determined these historic resources are reliable, and relevant to be included here in that they demonstrate simply the mineral potential of the properties. A thorough review of all historic data performed by an independent QP, along with additional exploration work to confirm results, would be required to produce a current mineral resource estimate for either property. Effective February 25, 2019, the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’) adopted new mining disclosure rules under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “SEC Modernization Rules”), with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. These replace the disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7 and as a result, the SEC now recognizes terms such as “indicated” and “inferred” with respect to mineral resources. U.S. investors are cautioned that while the SEC Modernization Rules are “substantially similar” to the CIM Standards, readers are cautioned that there are differences between the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards.
