VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Apollo Silver Corp. (“Apollo” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:APGO, OTCQB:APGOF, Frankfurt:6ZF) reports that Ejido Benito Juárez (the “Ejido”), located in Buenaventura Municipality, Chihuahua, Mexico, has scheduled a community assembly at which members of the Ejido are expected to vote on lifting the moratorium on mineral exploration and development affecting lands which include the Cinco de Mayo project (the “Project”), which is optioned by the Company, as well as the acceptance of a long-term access agreement. The moratorium, which has been in place since 2012, represents a key outstanding condition for advancement of the Project.

“We are encouraged by the progress of this process and by the strength of the relationships we have built at the community level,” said Colin Sutherland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Apollo. “The Company respects the autonomy of the Ejido and its decision-making processes, and we look forward to continuing an open, transparent and constructive dialogue with local stakeholders.”
Article content
This upcoming assembly represents a pivotal milestone for the Project. It will be the first time since the Ejido imposed its moratorium in 2012, more than a decade ago, that the community will get to vote on rescinding the ban and re-opening the path to exploration and development at Cinco de Mayo. A vote in favour of the proposed long-term access agreement would resolve the single largest impediment to advancing the Project and would represent a defining moment in the Company’s efforts to unlock the full potential of one of the largest undeveloped silver resources in the Americas.

Cinco de Mayo is an approximate 25,000-hectare property located in the north central part of Chihuahua State, Mexico, approximately 190 kilometres northwest of the state capital of Chihuahua City in the Buenaventura Municipality. The Project is prospective for and hosts carbonate replacement type deposits including the Upper Manto Pb-Zn-Ag (Au) deposit, which consists of two parallel and overlapping manto deposits referred to as the Jose Manto and the Bridge Zone. An independent technical report and Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”) on the Upper Manto deposit was prepared in 2012 by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (“RPA”). At a NSR cut-off of US$100/t, Inferred MRE was estimated to total 12.45 million tonnes at 132 grams per tonne silver, 2.86 per cent lead and 6.47 per cent zinc and 0.24 gram per tonne gold (See Apollo’s news release dated March 7, 2025). The total contained metals in the historical resource were 52.7 million ounces of silver, 785 million pounds of lead, 1,777 million pounds of zinc and 96,000 ounces of gold.
