en.Wedoany.com Reported - Apex Critical Metals (CSE:APXC) has obtained strong drilling results from the Trinity zone at its U.S. Rift rare earth project, expanding the mineralized footprint. The company completed four drill holes around the historical discovery area, confirming that mineralization remains open in all directions.
Key drilling results include a 191.9-meter interval grading 2.63% rare earth oxides (REO) from a depth of 215.9 meters, including a 52.2-meter section grading 3.54% REO and a 12.3-meter section grading 5.63% REO. From the surface envelope, a 239.7-meter interval graded 1.62% REO, including sections of 72.6 meters at 2.03% REO, 30.2 meters at 3.08% REO, and 14.9 meters at 5.09% REO.
Apex stated that these results define a gently west-dipping mineralized body extending over 380 meters along strike within a broader 700-meter target corridor. Drilling extended mineralization 50 meters south at the unconformity contact, 400 meters down-dip, and 120 meters east.
CEO Sean Charland said these results represent the company's "strongest" assays to date, "confirming and expanding the mineralized footprint of the Trinity zone, which remains open in all directions." Apex's 2026 drilling program continues to advance, with 22 holes completed totaling approximately 14,500 meters, and assay results pending for 12 additional holes. The company said it is consolidating its original two-phase plan, using two drill rigs with a target of up to 25,000 meters of drilling. It also plans to complete an initial resource estimate by next year.
Charland stated: "We will keep both drill rigs active throughout the summer, with assays continuing into early Q4 2026, targeting completion of a mineral resource estimate by Q1 2027." Apex Critical Metals is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing rare earth element and niobium projects to support growing demand in the United States and Canada.
