Amex to Consolidate Team Zone with 210 and E3 Gold Zones to Form a 1.4 km Mineralized Corridor and Announces Further Drill Results

Montreal, April 24, 2024 - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex or the Company") is pleased to announce that after continuing to advance its geological understanding on the Perron Project, further drilling identified similarities between the Team Zone, 210 and E3 gold zones, therefore making it logical to combine the three. The consolidated gold zones will retain the name Team Zone, which creates one larger mineralized corridor straddling the Normétal fault on the northeastern side of the Beaupré Block (See Figure 1). The decision is geologically driven as all three zones display remarkable similarity in their lithologies, structures and mineralization style (Figure 5).

The Company is also pleased to announce further drill results from these zones (See Figure 4 and Tables 1 and 2). With up to 14 known zones across the Perron property, this decision will improve simplicity and will save time in the ongoing modelling process and drill data compilation.

Drill Highlights Include:

210 Gold Zone (which from now will form part of Team Zone)

• PE-22-586 returned 11.50 m of 4.57 g/t Au, including 3.00 m of 10.72 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~115 m in the 210 Gold Zone;
• PE-23-639 returned 19.10 m of 3.23 g/t Au, including 1.40 m of 29.76 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~190 m in the 210 Gold Zone;

Team Zone

• PE-23-680 returned 7.30 m of 4.97 g/t Au, including 0.50 m of 54.12 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~35 m in the Team Gold Zone;
• PE-23-702 returned 2.10 m of 23.10 g/t Au, including 0.55 m of 83.98 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~270 m in the Team Gold Zone;

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "The combination of these three gold zones is an important milestone on the Perron Project. As we've continued to add more drilling into this area and as our modelling work has advanced, it became clear that the three zone were geologically, structurally and spatially related. The larger consolidated Team Zone now covers a strike length of approximately 1.4 km and remains open to the northwest, southeast and at depth. Amex plans to add significant meterage to the Team Zone as we believe we have only just begun to unlock its value."

Qualified Person and QA&QC

Jérôme Augustin P.Geo. Ph.D., (OGQ 2134), an Independent Qualified Person as defined by Canadian NI 43-101 standards, has reviewed and approved the geological information reported in this news release. The drilling campaign and the quality control program have been planned and supervised by Jérôme Augustin. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration. 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 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. The Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to verify the historical information on the Property or neighbouring projects, particularly in regards to historical drill results. However, the Qualified Person believes that drilling and analytical results were completed to industry standard practices. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Property but may not be representative of expected results.

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 host both bulk tonnage and a high-grade gold style mineralization. Since January 2019, Amex has intersected significant gold mineralization in multiple gold zones and discovered copper-rich VMS zones.
