Apex Critical Metals Confirms Significant Magnetic Anomaly at Cap Project, British Columbia
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2025 / Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE:APXC)(OTCQX:APXCF)(FWB:KL9) (“Apex” or the “Company”), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the identification and development of critical and strategic metals, is pleased to announce the completion and results from a high resolution airborne geophysical survey completed at the Company’s 100%-owned Cap Critical Minerals Project (“Cap” or the “Cap Project”) in central British Columbia.
Highlights
-
Strong magnetic high measuring approximately 2.2 km x 1.8 km with northwest offshoot
-
Magnetic anomaly roughly correlates with the 1.8 km niobium-in-soil trend identified in 2024 and confirmed in 2025 drilling
-
Helicopter borne magnetic and radiometric survey completed by Precision GeoSurveys Inc
-
781 line-km flown at 40 m spacing
-
Assays remain pending for 2,251 m of core, with results expected shortly
Sean Charland, CEO of Apex Critical Metals, commented, “The new airborne survey has provided valuable insight into the scale and geometry of the magnetic anomaly, giving us a stronger foundation to evaluate future drill targets and plan the next phase of exploration in 2026. We anticipate receiving assays from the remaining drillholes shortly, which will further guide our understanding of the mineralized system.”
The helicopter-borne survey was completed by Precision GeoSurveys Inc. of Langley, British Columbia, on September 15 and 16, 2025, and covered a total of 781 line-km at 40-m line spacing. The program was designed to provide detailed magnetic and radiometric data to assist in mapping the extent and geometry of carbonatite-hosted mineralization at the Cap Project.
The airborne magnetic survey delineates a large, well-defined magnetic high measuring approximately 2.2 km by 1.8 km, with a smaller magnetic offshoot extending northwest (Figure 1). The offshoot roughly correlates with the 1.8 km niobium-in-soil trend identified during the 2024 exploration program, which was subsequently confirmed in the subsurface during 2025 drilling. All drillholes completed in 2025 intersected carbonatite and/or associated alteration, with drillhole CAP25-006 returning 0.59 % Nb₂O₅ over 36.0 m, demonstrating a spatial correlation between magnetic intensity and niobium mineralization.
Historical drilling completed by the previous operator in 2017 tested the magnetic feature but is interpreted to have not drilled deep enough to intersect the primary source of the anomaly. The offshoot is interpreted to connect to the main magnetic body, suggesting a more extensive carbonatite system than previously recognized.
