VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Apollo Silver Corp. (“Apollo Silver” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:APGO, OTCQB:APGOF, Frankfurt:6ZF) is pleased to announce that the US Department of the Interior has added 10 minerals, including silver, to the US Geological Survey (“USGS”) 2025 List of Critical Minerals. For the first time, silver is recognized as having growing importance to US economic and national security. This inclusion signals enhanced government focus on securing domestic supply chains through enhanced permitting, subsidies, and strategic stockpiling initiatives.

“Apollo Silver welcomes the US government’s efforts to strengthen domestic silver mining by placing silver on the USGS List of Critical Minerals,” stated Ross McElroy, President and CEO of Apollo Silver. “This development will not only bring increased investor attention to the sector but will also help boost Apollo’s profile of its Calico Silver Project, which hosts the country’s 2nd largest primary silver deposit in the US. The inclusion of silver on the Critical Minerals List strengthens the project’s case for consideration under the Fast-41 program, a US government initiative aimed at streamlining permitting processes for critical and resource projects. With the US importing 64% of its silver consumption in 2024, this designation emphasizes silver’s strategic value and irreplaceable role across both industrial and defense industries.”
