Apex Resources Inc. announced an updated NI43-101 resource estimate for its Jersey-Emerald Tungsten Project located in the Nelson Mining District of southeastern British Columbia. The current resource estimate was triggered by a statement in Apex's MD&A filed on May 26, 2016. In its MD&A filed on May 26, 2016 the Company disclosed an increase in tungsten resources on its Jersey Emerald Project related to a resource update filed by Apex's current joint venture partner. That 2016 disclosure was not supported by an independent technical report issued by Apex. The present updated report was completed by independent qualified person ("QP") Sue Bird, P.Eng, of Moose Mountain Technical Services ("MMTS"). The study was a total deposit resource that included the Emerald, East Emerald, Invincible, Dodger, East Dodger and Dodger 4200 tungsten zones. The study involved reviewing 28,997 metres of diamond drilling in 241 holes on the property. The results of the current MMTS study confirm a significant increase in tonnage resulting from the 2014 drill program, but do not support the resource estimate reported in 2016. The present Inferred Resource of 5,128,045 tonnes at a tungsten grade of 0.227% WO3 is 6.4% lower than the 2016 estimate of 5,480,000 tonnes grading 0.273% WO3. The present Indicated Resource of 1,472,803 tonnes at a tungsten grade of 0.173% WO3 is less than 50.0% of the 2016 estimate of 3,071,000 tonnes grading 0.341% WO3. The difference between the two studies is partially due to the fact that remnant mineralization in the historic workings was not considered in the recent study due to concerns regarding eventual economic extraction. The previously reported Pb-Zn in the Jersey-Emerald deposit of the property is not included in this Resource Estimate due to uncertainties in the location of previous underground mining voids, assay interval locations, incomplete Pb-Zn assay database, and uncertainties in "reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction" due to proximity to the existing openings.
