The Company is pleased to advise that Offering is supported by key strategic investors, Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., and Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX: ELD) (NYSE: EGO) ("Eldorado").

"This financing is bolstered by investment from key existing shareholders, and we thank them for their continued endorsement of our work at Perron. Our recently released mineral resource estimate focused on high-grade ounces, and we believe our upcoming PEA, expected to be released in Q4 2024, will demonstrate robust economics on the Perron project," said Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex Exploration.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), the Units will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in Canada and/or other qualifying jurisdictions pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption").
