Charles Spencer's book about his late sister, Princess Diana, packed with explosive revelations is published Tuesday, after searing extracts prompted a rare and sharp rebuttal from King Charles III.

Formation Metals Intersects 0.98 g/t Au over 95.6 Metres Starting 7 Metres Below Surface, Including 3.14 g/t Au over the First 10 Metres, Extending the A-Zone Up to 50 Metres North at N2

Gold starts in the first sample below a thin overburden cover and runs for 95.6 metres. N2-26-033 extends the A-Zone's northern auriferous horizon 25 metres north over the upper 100 metres of the hole and up to 50 metres north at depth. Drilling into this previously untested ground shows that the horizon potentially remains open to the north.Highlights:Thick, continuous gold from 7 metres below surface. N2-26-033, drilled north of the A-Zone, returned 0.98 g/t Au over 95.6 metres beginning at 8.4 metres downhole (7.1 metres vertical), including 3.14 g/t Au over 10.0 metres from 8.4 metres.New ground, open to the north. The hole extends mineralization beyond the northern limit of the historical wireframes and joins Phase 1 holes N2-25-005 (0.91 g/t Au over 42.3 metres from 9.9 metres vertical) and N2-25-012 (1.75 g/t Au over 30.4 metres from 45.3 metres vertical) on the same northern horizon.The Company is undertaking a fully funded 75,000 metre drill program at its flagship N2 Property in Quebec, host to a global historic resource of ~871,000 ounces comprised of 18 Mt grading 1.4 g/t Au (~810,000 oz Au) across four zones (A, East, RJ-East, and Central)2,3 and 243 Kt grading 7.82 g/t Au (~61,000 oz Au) across the RJ zone2,4.Across the A-Zone, 84% of historical drillholes intercepted gold, reflecting a highly continuous, low-variability system that this northward extension drilling is now confirming across strike.This hole sits beyond the northern edge of the western historic core of the A-Zone (historical resource of ~0.5 Moz at ~1.5 g/t Au). Formation will continue stepping out north toward the main deformation zone, where the horizon remains open.The Company has working capital of ~C$26.3M5 with zero debt.

Apex Drills 4.48% REO Over 8.0 m and 5.27% REO Over 10.2 m Within Multiple ~ 150 m Intervals of > 2.00 % REO at the Rift Rare Earth Project in SE Nebraska

Highlights:RIFT26-012 extends Trinity Zone mineralization 100 m to the west (from previously reported RIFT26-002) with 2.42% REO (1) over 151.4 m, including:4.48 % REO over 8.0 m, or3.40% REO over 26.0 m, or3.03% REO over 61.4 mRIFT26-012 represents the strongest width x grade intercept south of the discovery area.RIFT26-014 confirms further continuity of the Trinity Zone to the south across 185 m of western down-dip projection with 148.5 m at 2.09% REO, including10.2 m at 5.27% REO, or 21.7 m at 4.00% REO (see Figure 3).RIFT26-014 is located between and along the same drillhole fence as previously reported RIFT26-003 (80.0 m at 2.29% REO) and RIFT26-005A (137.2 m at 2.01% REO (see news releases dated April 28, 2026 & May 15, 2026, respectively) and confirms continuity of the upper high-grade REO horizon ("Trinity Zone")Western step-out drillholes continue to intersect hematite alteration and rock characteristics similar to mineralized holes reported to date. A total of 32 drillholes have been completed to date with assays still pending for 18 completed holes.Trinity Zone is now defined over an approximate 400 m N-S strike length and 200 m down-dip with strongly mineralized intervals ranging from 80 to 150 m, which continue to demonstrate strong continuity of high-grade REO mineralizationThe Trinity Zone remains open in all directions.Sean Charland, CEO of Apex Critical Metals, commented: "The results from these step-out drillholes, including our best grade x width results south of the discovery area, continues to demonstrate the extension and expansion potential of the upper high-grade REO horizon (Trinity Zone). The growing mineralized footprint and consistency observed from assay results to-date increases confidence in the shallow west-dipping Trinity Zone and ability to deliver a strong inaugural mineral resource estimate in Q1/2027. With a significant number of assays still pending and drilling ongoing, the Company is well positioned to build upon the early successes from our 2026 drill campaign."

Algo Grande Provides Phase II Drill Update; Hole 2 Copper Zone Doubles as Hole 3 Delivers Extensive New Interval, Remains Mineralized at Depth

AG_CG_PH2_002 (Hole 2) copper zone continues to expand: a newly logged interval has grown Hole 2's copper-bearing footprint to 68.77 metres of visually observed mineralization across a 154-metre span, more than double what was reported previously, reinforcing the scale of the discovery beneath Cerro Grande.AG_CG_PH2_003 (Hole 3) delivers an extensive copper zone at Cerro Grande: copper mineralization was logged across a combined 74 metres of the hole, including a standout 32-metre section in its lower zone. In total, 37 metres of visually copper-bearing core were logged in Hole 3 (see "Hole AG_CG_PH2_003 Progress" below for full interval detail).Hole 3 confirms vertical continuity, remains mineralized at depth: the copper interval intersected in Hole 3 steps out approximately 105 metres vertically above mineralization intercepted in hole AG_GC_002 from the Company's inaugural Phase I drill campaign, pointing to a mineralized system with considerable vertical extent.Both rigs turning, program on track: Hole 2 has passed 424 metres on its way to a planned 700 metres, while Hole 3's rig has logged past 239 metres, with both continuing to test new ground beneath Cerro Grande.First assays now in the pipeline: first section of drill core from Hole 2 was delivered to ALS's laboratory in Hermosillo on August 7, 2026, with results expected in the coming weeks.
