Best results included 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq from 708.6 m in drillhole SDDSC192, the deepest east-west oriented hole drilled into the Apollo prospect to date.Five High Level Takeaways:Exceptional high-grade gold hit – SDDSC192 returned 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq (14.6 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 708.6 m, including 0.21 m @ 236 g/t Au, a high-grade hit that confirms the system continues to deliver exceptional gold values in the deepest holes into the system, stepping down 60 m at Apollo East and 80 m at Apollo Deeps, demonstrating the system remains robust and open at depth. Discovery of a new mineralized zone – SDDSC174B identified previously unrecognized mineralization between the Gladys and Golden Orb Faults, returning 0.3 m @ 45.9 g/t AuEq (34.6 g/t Au, 4.7% Sb) from 856.2 m and opening up 70 m of untested ground to the south – a significant new exploration target. Other broader intersections – 2.3 m @ 17.1 g/t AuEq (11.3 g/t Au, 2.4% Sb) from 810.0 m in SDDSC174BW1 and 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq (14.6 g/t Au) from 708.6 m in SDDSC192. Strong antimony and gold grades – SDDSC174BW1 returned 0.1 m @ 109.7 g/t AuEq (49.7 g/t Au, 25.1% Sb) from 811.3 m and 0.1 m @ 83.9 g/t AuEq (42.3 g/t Au, 17.4% Sb) from 800.68 m, highlighting the exceptional critical mineral endowment alongside high-grade gold values. Apollo East continues to grow – SDDSC181 extended the mineralized corridor to approximately 150 m of east-west strike, while SDDSC179 pushed the prospective host 30 m further east, demonstrating the system is expanding in multiple directions.Michael Hudson, President & CEO states: \"SDDSC192 is our deepest east-west hole into Apollo and delivered 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq, including a high-grade hit of 0.21 m @ 236 g/t Au, proving the system remains robust and open at depth. Stepping down 80 m at Apollo Deeps, we inter...
