Apex Critical Metals Confirms Key REE Minerals at Rift Project

Apex Critical Metals Corp. has confirmed that monazite and bastnaesite are the dominant rare earth element-bearing minerals in its Rift Rare Earth Project located in Nebraska. This finding, confirmed through quantitative X-ray diffraction, suggests a streamlined metallurgical process since both minerals have established recovery procedures from carbonatite deposits. These minerals underpin much of the global REE supply, reducing technical risks associated with developing the project.

The company intends to use the mineralogical data to inform preliminary metallurgical tests to be conducted by SGS Canada's facility. Apex has also renewed its marketing agreements with Rumble Strip Media and Zimtu Capital Corp. to enhance investor outreach. These partnerships are aimed at boosting the company’s visibility and shareholder communication without any direct stock compensation.
