[{"type":"text","content":"Southern Cross Gold Drills Record High-Grade in Shallow Apollo: 17.3 Metres at 15.3 g/t Gold & 3.2% AntimonyVancouver, British Columbia and Melbourne, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 16, 2026) - Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. (TSX: SXGC) (ASX: SX2) (OTCQX: SXGCF) (FSSE: MV3) (\"SXGC\", \"SX2\" or the \"Company\") announces results from four drill holes from the 100%-owned Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Victoria (Figures 1 to 6). Best results included 17.3 m @ 22.9 g/t AuEq (15.3 g/t Au, 3.2% Sb) from 251.1 m in drill hole SDDSC200.The true thickness of the mineralized intervals is interpreted to be approximately 60% to 80% of the sampled thickness for all reported holes.Four High Level Takeaways:Record grade in shallow Apollo - Highest-grade composite intersection recorded in the top 220 vertical metres of Apollo: 17.3 m at 22.9 g/t gold equivalent, including 6.3 m at 32.3 g/t gold and 7.0% antimony. Apollo delivering in every direction - Four holes drilled both east-to-west and west-to-east all hit mineralization. The system is continuous, consistent, and responds predictably to the drill bit across the upper Apollo area. Antimony tenor is very high near surface - Multiple intervals in these holes exceeded 20% antimony, consistent with the zonation model that predicts the richest antimony grades in the upper 700 m of the system. That is strategically important given current antimony prices and global supply constraints. New vein sets appearing - SDDSC200 identified a previously unrecognised vein set, a reminder that the system is still expanding with every hole drilled. We are not filling in a known box - we are still finding new parts of it. Michael Hudson, President & CEO, states: \"These four holes do something important - they demonstrate that the upper Apollo system, within 220 vertical metres of surface, is capable of hosting extremely high gold-antimony grades across broad widths. The 17.3 m at 22.9 g/t gold equivalent in SDDSC200 is the best composite we've ever recorded in the top portion of Apollo and is in an area we had not previously drilled. That's not infill - that's discovery.\"What strikes us about this set of results is the consistency. Four holes, drilled in alternating directions across the upper Apollo, all hit mineralization. The vein sets are continuous, they're predictable, and the h...
