[{"type":"text","content":"Amex Finds New Lens of Gold Mineralization in Deepest Drilling to Date in Western Gratien Gold Zone and Provides Update on Resource EstimateMontreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2024) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) (\"Amex or the Company\") is pleased to announce that it has intersected gold mineralization in the deepest drilling to date in the western area of the Gratien Gold Zone (\"Gratien\"), on the Perron Project in the Abitibi region of Quebec (see Figure 1). The mineralization appears to be a new lens or 'stack' that make up the multiple stacked lenses of mineralization representing the Gratien Gold Zone (see Figure 2). The new drilling has opened up Gratien for significant expansion at depth, which also remains open to the west. With a total strike length of 1,200 m and growing, the Amex team believes Gratien has the potential to develop into an orebody of significant size and grade.Notably, the new lens of mineralization was found within the rhyolite of the Upper Gratien Gold Zone, located within the Beaupré Block. The previous deepest intercepts in the western portion of Gratien were found within the andesite of the Normétal South Block. Amex believes this deep drilling has opened up a significant growth potential in the Upper Gratien Zone and appears to be on strike with the Grey Cat Zone, which is structurally compelling. See Figure 1 for a plan view of the geology of the Perron Project, Figure 2 for a plan view of the Gratien Gold Zone, Figure 3 for a longitudinal section of Gratien, Figure 4 for images of gold mineralization in Gratien, Table 1 for assay results, and Table 2 for drillhole coordinates. Highlights include:Deep Western Gratien ZonePEG-24-764 returned 7.40 m of 5.15 g/t Au, including 1.70 m of 17.32 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~325 m in the Upper Gratien Gold Zone PEG-24-767 returned 1.20 m of 20.28 g/t Au, including 0.55 m of 42.88 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~280 m in the Upper Gratien Gold ZoneJacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, \"We are impressed by the continuing growth in footprint that the Gratien Gold Zone is displaying. The zone had not been given much attention in previous years while the High-Grade and Denise Zones were being rapidly expanded upon, but with a focused drill program, Gratien is s...
