Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - March 25, 2025) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with an arm's length vendor to acquire a significant land package, expanding its holdings around its flagship Perron Project from 4,560 hectares (45.60 km2) to 19,752 hectares (197.52 km2) (the "Transaction"). When combined with the newly acquired land package, to be named Perron West (the "Perron West Project"), Amex will control an area more than four times the size of the existing Perron Property. The Perron West Project consists of 48 contiguous claims/exclusive exploration rights comprising 1,737 hectares adjoining the Perron Project to the west and the south in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of the province of Quebec and 33 multi-cell and 2 single-cell contiguous mining claims comprising 13,455 hectares in the Abbotsford, Adair and Hepburn Townships in the province of Ontario, representing a total area of 15,192 hectares.
The Perron West Project importantly holds the continuation of the Normétal-Burntbush greenstone belt, that crosses over into Ontario (see Figure 1). Further details respecting the Transaction can be found at the bottom of the release.
Perron West bears a number of geological similarities to the existing Perron Project, including a potential mirror image of the prolific Beaupré Block rhyolite, which hosts all the gold discoveries found by Amex to date, including the ultra-rich High Grade Zone.
Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "We are excited by the discovery potential that this land acquisition provides. The package boasts seven gold and five copper showings, displaying the significant potential for future discoveries of both gold and volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS). The claims have also been subject to recent airborne geophysical and soil sampling programs which will be an excellent guide for next exploration steps. This work was instrumental in helping us identify what we believe is a geological mirror image of the Beaupré Block. With this acquisition, Amex now controls over 35 kms of the prolific Normétal Fault and 9 kms of the Perron Fault. This combined land package is truly district scale and has never before been assembled by a single organization. We look forward to extrapolating our extensive understanding of the Perron project to Perron West."

The Perron West Project consists of 48 CDC claims in Quebec for 1,737 hectares and 33 multi-cell and 2 single-cell claims in Ontario for 13,455 hectares, for a total of 15,192 hectares.

After analysing the regional geological framework of the Normétal-Burntbush greenstone belt, the Company identified the exceptional potential of the Perron West Property for further, high-grade gold discoveries. As can be seen in Figure 2, regional deformation of the belt is determined as dextral movement, with pulses of mineralization interpreted to have been emplaced during D2 deformation events. As such, Amex sees two large potential areas for gold mineralization on the project being:
1) A "mirror" of the Beaupré Block. As seen in Figure 2, rhyolites with similarities to that at Beaupré have been observed on the property. In addition, these rhyolites are already host to multiple gold showings, some of which can be observed in Figure 3.
2) The major Normétal Fault and its interaction with the Patten Pluton. As previously reported in last weeks 2025 regional drill plan (see February 20, 2025 Press Release), a major regional focus has been placed on the contacts of the Patten Pluton with the surrounding volcanics. Multiple gold-in-soil anomalies are scheduled to be tested at Perron on the eastern edges of the pluton, while the western edges host additional gold-in-soil anomalies at Perron West.
Recent work completed on the claim package includes VTEM, M-PASS and LiDAR airborne geophysical surveys, obtaining orthophotos and a soil sampling program (see Figures 3-4). In addition, compilation and analysis work was completed on the geophysical data package and the soil sampling by ALS Goldspot to provide targets, which are yet to be tested (see Figure 5).
The Company envisages that, given the geological similarities of the Perron West Project to the Perron Project, that any significant discoveries made would be able to share the same infrastructure in Amex's existing Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) (see November 13, 2024 Press Release).

Anomalous gold results from the 2023 soil sampling program, in close proximity to the existing Goldhill showing, returned 1.75 g/t Au (1746 ppb Au) from a sonic drill hole to test the overburden and is yet to be followed up on.

Next Steps - Exploration
The Company is working on finalizing an exploration program for the new property in 2025. This will likely consist of tighter grids of soil sampling to further define existing anomalies as well as expanding the grid to cover areas of the project that have not yet been covered. Given past anomalies produced, a more detailed sonic drill program is also being considered to test the overburden as well as the top few metres of bedrock. The goal of these programs will be to define drill ready targets for the Perron West Project.

Qualified Persons and QAQC
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Aaron Stone, P. Geo. (OGQ 2170 and PGO 3708) for the Perron West Project in Ontario and Jérôme Augustin P.Geo. Ph.D., (OGQ 2134) for the Perron West Project in Quebec (collectively, the "Qualified Persons").
Soil samples at the Perron West Project were collected along lines spaced 200 metres apart with individual samples collected every 100 metres along each line. Samples were submitted to AGAT laboratory in Val d'Or, Quebec for preparation and analysis. The preparation and analytical package selected was Aqua Regia Digest - Metals Package, ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish as described the methodology. The QAQC program consisted of the insertion of blanks (sand) and standards (OREAS 47), for a total of 51, that were regularly inserted into the sample sequence before being sent to the laboratory. Duplicates samples were also taken in the field every 20 samples.
The potential grades of exploration targets disclosed in this news release are conceptual in nature. The Qualified Persons have not completed sufficient work to verify the historical information on the Perron West Project, particularly in regards to historical drill results and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The Company has not independently verified and cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the third-party data contained in this news release and investors should use caution in placing reliance on such information; however, the Qualified Persons believe that drilling and analytical results were completed to industry standard practices. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Perron West Project but may not be representative of expected results.
