Apollo Silver Reaffirms Its Support for Ejido Benito Juarez on Long Term Water Solutions
Apollo secures community water pledge ahead of September 20 Ejido vote to mitigate social license risk.

Apollo Silver reaffirmed its commitment to providing long-term water solutions for the Ejido Benito Juarez in Chihuahua, Mexico. The pledge includes direct support for local agriculture and livestock, backed by independent technical studies of regional aquifers and wells.
This follows the Sept 10 announcement that the Ejido will vote on Sept 20, 2026, to lift a 12-year moratorium on mineral exploration at the optioned Cinco de Mayo project. Management emphasized that the Mexican government under President Sheinbaum views mining and community water rights as compatible, and Apollo will continue community engagement pending the vote outcome.
Apollo Silver Corp. (APGO) issued a routine follow-up to its September 10 update regarding the Ejido assembly vote, introducing no new financial data, resource updates, or operational milestones. The primary impact of the announcement is reputational and social-licensing related, aiming to mitigate community opposition ahead of the pivotal September 20 vote. While the move is positive for social license, it carries no immediate market-moving financial impact, as the actual catalyst remains the outcome of the vote itself.
Apollo Silver Corp. (APGO) is a pre-revenue exploration and evaluation company focused on silver and critical minerals. Its flagship asset is the Calico Silver Project in San Bernardino County, California, which hosts a Measured & Indicated resource of 125 million ounces of silver at 71 g/t Ag, along with significant barite and zinc credits. The project is currently in the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) stage, with engineering and permitting underway.
The company also holds a secondary asset, the Cinco de Mayo project in Chihuahua, Mexico, which is optioned from Pan American Silver. This property hosts a historical inferred resource of 12.45 million tonnes at 132 g/t Ag, 2.86% Pb, and 6.47% Zn. Surface access to the Cinco de Mayo project is currently suspended pending an Ejido vote.
