Amex Reports Results from Team Zone with Intersects of up to 4.73 g/t Au over 8.20 m and 2.71 g/t Au over 10.50 m

By: Newsfile

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - February 9, 2023) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce new results on the recently discovered Team Zone on the Perron project in the Abitibi region of Quebec. The Team Zone occurs ~600 m to the northeast of the High Grade Zone (HGZ) and ~300 m northeast of the E2 Gold Zone (Figure 1). The Team Zone encompasses an area of approximately 300 m by 250 m (Figure 2) from surface to a depth of ~400 m. The zone is open at depth and along strike and represents the most exciting and substantial new target that was generated from the regional exploration campaign in the past year.

Jacques Trottier, Executive Chairman of Amex, commented, "The Team Zone is shaping up to be a significant component of the overall mineralized system at Perron. It has now delivered gold mineralization in each drill hole, with a mix of both high-grade vein-hosted gold and lower grade stockwork and disseminated mineralization. Today's results, particularly in hole PE-22-580 with high grades up to 72.06 gram of gold over 1.00 metre, confirm the potential at depth in this system, and the balance of the drillholes affirm our earlier expectations of a widespread near surface orebody. In addition to the known mineralization, the Team Zone adds significantly to our regional targeting as it is a different style of mineralization than encountered elsewhere."

Today's highlight results include:

PE-22-568: 4.73 g/t Au over 8.20 m at a vertical depth of ~115 m
              Including: 27.07 g/t Au over 1.00 m

PE-22-570: 2.71 g/t over 10.50 m at a vertical depth of ~100 m
              Including: 38.97 g/t Au over 0.50 m

PE-22-571: 2.69 g/t Au over 5.00 m at a vertical depth of ~50 m

PE-22-580: 9.21 g/t Au over 3.90 m at a vertical depth of ~210 m
              And: 0.84 g/t Au over 14.40 m at a vertical depth of ~240 m
              And: 72.06 g/t Au over 1.00 m at a vertical depth of ~305 m

PE-22-583: 1.04 g/t Au over 26.00 m at a vertical depth of ~394 m

Today's results represent continued testing of the extents, grade, and dimensions of the new Team Zone. Drilling was conducted in several orientations (as shown in Table 2) in order to identify controls on mineralization. The Team Zone is shaping up to be a shallowly eastward-plunging body which begins at surface and is open to depth and to the east. The large overall mineralized trend is driven by several higher-grade areas as can be seen in Figure 2. Further work is required to fully define the higher-grade sub-structures. The Zone is also parallel and adjacent to the E2 Gold Zone to the southwest, and to the 210 & Upper 210 to the northwest. Structural interpretation indicates that the Upper 210 may occur on a similar structure to that of the Team Zone, and further drilling is required to test if they are connected. See Table 1 for a list of the today's drill results, Table 2 for drill hole coordinates, Figure 1 for a map of the Perron project geology showing the location of the Team Zone, Figure 2 for a map showing the distribution of assayed gold identified to date throughout the Team Zone, and Figure 3 for photos of visible gold in several holes in the Team Zone.

Qualified Persons

Maxime Bouchard P.Geo. M.Sc.A., (OGQ 1752) and Jérôme Augustin P.Geo. Ph.D., (OGQ 2134), Independent Qualified Persons as defined by Canadian NI 43-101 standards, have reviewed and approved the geological information reported. The drilling campaign and the quality control program have been planned and supervised by Maxime Bouchard and Jérôme Augustin.

The quality assurance and quality control protocols include insertion of blank or standard samples every 10 samples on average, in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples accredited by Laboratoire Expert or ALS Canada Ltd. during the analytical process.

For all analyses targeting gold mineralization, gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption. Values over 3 ppm Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with finish by gravimetry by Laboratoire Expert Inc, Rouyn-Noranda. Samples containing visible gold mineralization are analyzed by metallic sieve. For additional quality assurance and quality control, all samples were crushed to 90% less than 2 mm prior to pulverization, in order to homogenize samples which may contain coarse gold.

For analyses targeting VMS mineralization, zinc, copper and silver values are estimated by four acid digestion multi-elements Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), ME-ICP61 at ALS Canada Ltd. Zinc values over 1%, copper values over 1%, and silver values over 100 g/t are estimated by four acid digestion ICP-AES, OG62. Gold values are estimated by fire assay with atomic absorption finish.

About Amex

Amex Exploration Inc. has made significant gold discoveries on its 100% owned high-grade Perron Gold Project located ~110 kilometres north of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, consisting of 117 contiguous claims covering 4,518 hectares. The project is well-serviced by existing infrastructure, on a year-round road, 10 minutes from an airport and just outside the town of Normétal (~8 km). In addition, the project is in close proximity to a number of major gold producers' milling operations. The project hosts both disseminated and high-grade vein-hosted gold style mineralization. Since January 2019, Amex has intersected significant gold mineralization in multiple gold zones and discovered copper-rich VMS zones.
