APEX Resources Ltd. Acquires Mount Anderson Gold-Silver Property, Yukon

Vancouver, B.C. - March 1, 2017: Apex Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: APX, the "Company" or "Apex") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with Brian Scott, Carol Bratvold and Ken Wilbern (the "Optionors"), which gives Apex the right to earn a 100% undivided interest in the Mount Anderson Property, Whitehorse Mining District, Yukon.

The Property, located 55 kilometres south of Whitehorse, Yukon, is road accessible year round and consists of 163 quartz claims covering approximately 31 square kilometres. The claims lie along the Wheaton River Valley and are contiguous with New Pacific Metals Corp.'s Mount Skukum Property. In 1981, Agip Canada discovered a gold ore body at Mount Skukum, which subsequently produced 80,000 ounces of gold from 220,000 tons of ore between 1986 and 1988. Currently, New Pacific Metals Corp. has an indicated resource of 1,416,500 tonnes grading 8.59 g/t gold equivalent in the Skukum Creek and Goddell Gully deposits (New Pacific Metals website).

Sporadic exploration has been conducted on the previously fragmented Mount Anderson property dating back as far as 1906. Of significance, in 1947 United Keno Hill shipped a test sample to Trail from the property which returned 34.3 g/t Au, 432 g/t Ag, 11.6% Pb, 5.2% Zn. In 2011, previous property operator Gold World Resources Inc. collected composite samples from a portion of the original bulk sample remaining on site and confirmed the historic values with results of 30.5 g/t Au, 532 g/t Ag, 9.1% Pb, 6.5% Zn and 0.5% Cu. Sampling of the nearby trenches from which the sample was collected returned 29.0 g/t Au, 417.2 g/t Ag, 20% Pb and 6% Zn (Technical Report for Gold World Resources Inc. by H. Lahti, 2012).

Gold World also completed an MMI soil survey consisting of some 4,000 samples, covering approximately 60% of the claim block. Several strong soil anomalies were identified which require follow up ground prospecting, mapping, trenching and/or drilling. In 2012, Gold World was unable to maintain the option on the Mount Anderson Property and it reverted to the vendors.

Pursuant to the current option agreement, Apex Minerals Ltd. can exercise the option by paying an aggregate of $300,000 to the Optionors, issuing an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company, and incurring an aggregate of $385,000 of exploration expenditures as follows:

The Optionors are entitled to receive a 2% NSR, half of which can be purchased within 90 days after Commencement of Commercial Production by the Company for $1,000,000. The Optionors also retain a 5% gross over-riding royalty on any high-grade bulk samples processed prior to Commercial Production. The Option Agreement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
