Newswire) Breaking mining stock news- Apollo Silver Corp. (TSX.V:APGO) (OTCQB:APGOF) (Frankfurt:6ZF) is pleased to announce that it has
filed the independent technical report for the updated Mineral
Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Calico Silver Project
(“Calico” or the “Calico Project”).
The report titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral
Resource Estimate for the Calico Silver Project, San Bernardino
County, California, USA”, is dated October 16, 2025 (with an
effective date of June 30, 2025) (the “Technical Report”).
The Technical Report is available under the Company’s issuer
profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on the Company’s
website (www.apollosilver.com).
The Technical Report was prepared in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) Standards of Disclosure
for Mineral Projects by Stantec Consulting Ltd.
(“Stantec”) of Denver, Colorado. There are no material
differences in the Technical Report from those results disclosed in
the Company’s press release dated September 4, 2025.
Highlights of the MRE announced on September 4, 2025,
include:
-
New combined Measured and Indicated total of 55 million tonnes
(“Mt”) at a grade of 71 grams per tonne
(“g/t”) silver (“Ag”) for a total of 125
million ounces (“Moz”) Ag (1)(2) -
61% increase in tonnage and a 14% increase in Ag ounces representing
an increase of 15 Moz contained Ag -
Inferred total of 0.6 Mt at a grade of 26 g/t Ag for a total of 0.51
Moz contained Ag (1)(2) -
Inaugural barite (“BaSO4”) and zinc (“Zn”)
resources are estimated as: -
Indicated: 36 Mt @ 7.4% BaSO4 and 0.45% Zn for a total content of
2.7 Mt BaSO4 and 354 million pounds (“Mlbs”) Zn (1)(2) -
Inferred: 17 Mt @ 3.9% BaSO4 and 0.71% Zn for a total content of
0.65 Mt BaSO4 and 258 Mlbs Zn (1)(2) -
Gold (“Au”) ounces have increased by 86% in the Inferred
category for a new total of 17 Mt at a grade of 0.25 g/t Au and
total Au content of 0.13 Moz (1)(2) -
One single pit for all metals at the Waterloo deposit with a low
strip ratio of 0.8:1 -
Updated Langtry MRE now includes 24 million tonnes at a grade of 73
g/t Ag for a total Ag content of 57 million ounces (1)(3) -
The increased quantities of Ag and Au, the addition of two new
critical minerals, and the larger single pit with low strip ratio
have derisked the Calico Project -
Sensitivity analyses show resiliency of the Ag resource to changes
in metal price - Significant growth opportunities remain
(1) The 2025 MRE has been prepared by Derek Loveday, P. Geo., of
Stantec Consulting Services Ltd., an independent Qualified Person, in
co-operation with Mariea Kartick, P.Geo. (independent Qualified Person
for drilling data QA/QC) and Johnny Marke P.G. (independent Qualified
Person for resource estimation). CIM definitions are followed for
classification of the mineral resource. The 2025 MRE was produced in
conformance with NI 43-101. The 2025 mineral resource estimate has an
effective date of June 30, 2025. Ounces are reported as troy ounces.
No drilling was completed on the Waterloo Property and Langtry
Property since the declaration of the 2023 MRE for Waterloo and 2022
MRE for Langtry. The 2025 MRE update accounts for changes in commodity
prices, mining costs since 2022/2023, and barite testing of existing
drill samples from the Waterloo Property. Mineral resources are not
mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
There is no certainty that any mineral resource will be converted into
a mineral reserve.
(2) For the Waterloo Property, a silver equivalent cut-off grade was
calculated using the following variables: surface mining operating
costs (US$2.8/st), processing costs plus general and administrative
cost (US$26.5/st), Ag price (US$28/oz), BaSO4 price (US$120/t), Zn
price (US$1.22/lb), Au price (US$2,451/oz), and metal recoveries (Ag
65%, Au 80%, BaSO4 85%, Zn 80%). For the Waterloo Property gold-only
resources the Au cut-off grade was calculated using the above Au
price, Au recovery and gold-only processing costs plus general and
administrative cost (US$8.2/st).
(3) For the Langtry Property, a silver-only equivalent cut-off grade
was calculated using the aforementioned Ag price, Ag recovery and
silver-only processing costs plus general and administrative cost
(US$24/st).
The 2025 MRE for the Waterloo Property comprises 125 Moz Ag in 55 Mt
at an average grade of 71 g/t Ag (M&I categories), 0.51 Moz Ag in
0.60 Mt at an average grade of 26 g/t Ag (Inferred category), 130,000
oz gold in 17 Mt at an average grade of 0.25 g/t gold (Inferred
category), 2.7 Mt BaSO4 and 354 Mlbs Zn in 36 Mt at an average grade
of 7.4 % BaSO4 and 0.45 % Zn (Indicated category), and 0.65 Mt BaSO4
and 258 Mlbs Zn in 17 Mt at an average grade of 3.9 % BaSO4 and 0.71 %
Zn (Inferred category). The 2025 MRE for the Langtry Property
comprises 57 Moz Ag in 24 Mt at an average grade of 73 g/t Ag
(Inferred category).
ABOUT THE CALICO PROJECT
Location
The Calico Project is located in San Bernardino County, California,
and comprises the adjacent Waterloo, Langtry and Mule properties,
which total 8,283 acres. The Calico Project is 15 km (9 miles) east
from the city of Barstow, 5 km (3 miles) from commercial electric
power and has an extensive private gravel road network spanning the
property.
Geology and Mineralization
The Calico Project is situated in the southern Calico Mountains of the
Mojave Desert, in the south-western region of the Basin and Range
tectonic province. This 15 km (9 mile) long northwest-southeast
trending mountain range is dominantly composed of Tertiary (Miocene)
volcanics, volcaniclastics, sedimentary rocks and dacitic intrusions.
Mineralization at Calico comprises high-level low-sulfidation
silver-dominant epithermal vein-type, stockwork-type and
disseminated-style associated with northwest-trending faults and
fracture zones and mid-Tertiary (~19-17 Ma) volcanic activity. Calico
represents a district-scale mineral system endowment with
approximately 6,000 m (19,685 ft) in mineralized strike length
controlled by the Company. Silver and gold mineralization are oxidized
and hosted within the sedimentary Barstow Formation and the upper
volcaniclastic units of the Pickhandle formation along the contact
between these units.

silver projects in the US. The Calico Project hosts a large, bulk
minable silver deposit with significant barite and zinc credits
– recognized as critical minerals essential to the US energy and
medical sectors. The Company also holds an option on the Cinco de Mayo
Project in Chihuahua, Mexico, which is host to a major carbonate
replacement (CRD) deposit that is both high-grade and large tonnage.
Led by an experienced and award-winning management team, Apollo is
well positioned to advance the assets and deliver value through
