[{"type":"text","content":"Outcrop Sample Assays up to 1,280 g/t Silver at Mule and 76.12% Barite at Langtry VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo Silver Corp. (“Apollo Silver” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:APGO, OTCQB:APGOF, Frankfurt:6ZF) is pleased to report results from its ground geological mapping and sampling program (the “Program”), including assay results, at the Calico Silver Project (“Calico” or the “Project”) located in San Bernardino County, California (see news release dated December 11, 2025). The Program conducted mapping, sampling and geophysical anomaly checks across the Project, and identified multiple mineralized occurrences returning assays with highly anomalous silver, gold, barite and zinc values across several key areas. Program activities included systematic infill rock sampling at Burcham gold prospect (located within the Waterloo Property), and regional scale assessment of the Mule Property. The Mule Property assessment included geological mapping and outcrop sampling along the Calico fault trend, soil geochemistry surveys, and outcrop sampling within the lithostratigraphic unit known as the Pickhandle Formation Volcanics (“Pickhandle”) (refer to Figure 1). Ground-truthing of historic induced polarization (“IP”) anomalies within Langtry and Waterloo was also conducted. Surface Sampling Program Highlights Mule Property: High-grade silver (“Ag”) values up to 1,280 grams per tonne (“g/t”) Ag identified at the Mule Property within the Pickhandle. Program results support that the Pickhandle unit at Mule is a host of high-grade silver and barite veins and thus is a target that warrants systematic follow-up. Burcham Mine Area (Waterloo Property): Multiple highly anomalous gold (“Au”) results at Burcham, including assay results of 4.85 g/t, 3.70 g/t, and 3.59 g/t Au. High-grade zinc values up to 30.0% zinc (“Zn”) confirmed in specularite manto zones. Waterloo Property & Langtry Property: Sampling of the Lower Barstow-Pickhandle contact, within the northeast portion of Waterloo, returned moderate silver assays, including 149 g/t Ag, 139 g/t Ag, and 80.7 g/t Ag. Highly elevated barite assays of up to 27.78% and 76.12% BaSO4 were observed at Langtry and 35.68% BaSO4 at Waterloo. Barite comprises part of the Mineral Resource Estimate at Waterloo, whereas less is known about the occurrence of barite at Lang...
