Apex Launches Extensive 2025 Re-Analysis of Preserved Historical Drill Core at Rift Rare Earth Project Near Elk Creek, Nebraska

Executive Summary

  • Apex Critical Metals has launched a comprehensive 2025 re‑sampling and re‑logging program of historic drill core from its Rift Rare Earth Project in Nebraska.
  • The program, overseen by Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd., will generate modern multi‑element analytical data (ICP‑MS, ICP‑OES, XRF) with initial results expected in Q1 2026.
  • Results are intended to support updated geological modeling and future drilling decisions for the Rift carbonatite system, which hosts significant REE and niobium mineralization.

Key Details

  • Historical drill core from Molycorp (1970s‑1980s) has been preserved and will be re‑logged; selected samples will undergo multi‑element analysis by Actlabs.
  • Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd., which previously performed similar work for Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp., is the qualified consultant overseeing the program.
  • Expected deliverables: modern analytical data to refine scale, grade, and targeting models for the Rift project; results anticipated in Q1 2026.
  • Apex CEO Sean Charland highlighted the value of the preserved core material and its role in establishing a “modern analytical foundation” for the project.
  • Qualified Person review performed by Nathan Schmidt, P.Geo., Geologist (Dahrouge) under NI 43‑101 standards.
  • Historical drilling at Rift has reported intervals such as 155.5 m @ 2.70% REO and 68.2 m @ 3.32% REO, but these are non‑compliant with current reporting standards and not treated as current resources or reserves.

Notable Quotes

  • “We are grateful to the Conservation and Survey Division, School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska‑Lincoln for ensuring the preservation of the historical Molycorp material… our 2025 re‑logging and re‑sampling program at Rift will provide a modern analytical foundation for understanding the scale and grade potential of the system.” – Sean Charland, CEO, Apex Critical Metals Corp.
