Membership provides the Company with opportunities to engage in federally sponsored initiatives related to critical materials supply chains, including the mining and processing of silver, zinc, and barite. “Apollo Silver’s acceptance into the DIBC reflects the growing strategic importance of U.S.-based critical mineral assets, including silver, following its inclusion on the USGS List of Critical Minerals in November 2025,” said Ross McElroy, President and CEO of Apollo Silver. “With one of the largest undeveloped primary silver assets in the United States and meaningful exposure to industrial critical minerals such as barite and zinc, we believe Apollo Silver is well positioned to align with U.S. priorities focused on supply-chain security, industrial resilience, and national defense.” ABOUT APOLLO SILVER CORP.
