- Apex Critical Metals Corp. is a Canada-based mineral exploration and resource development company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, evaluation, and advancement of strategic and critical mineral properties across North America. The company primarily targets deposits containing high-value critical minerals essential for clean energy, industrial manufacturing, and advanced technologies, with an operational focus on rare earth elements (REEs), particularly neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (NdPr), as well as niobium (Nb), scandium, titanium, and associated mineralized carbonatite complexes.
The company's core operational activities and mineral service offerings comprise comprehensive exploration-stage and development-stage workflows, including: target generation and mineral property acquisition; structural and lithological geological mapping; soil, rock-chip, and stream-sediment geochemical sampling; airborne and ground-based geophysical surveying, including high-resolution magnetic and radiometric survey interpretation; diamond and rotary core drilling programs; core logging, sample preparation, and certified laboratory metallurgical assaying; three-dimensional geological modeling and mineral deposit delineation; National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant technical reporting and Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) calculations; and preliminary metallurgical testing for critical mineral recovery and beneficiation.
Apex Critical Metals Corp. manages a portfolio of early- to advanced-stage critical mineral assets located in Tier-1 mining jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. Its flagship asset is the Rift Rare Earth Project, covering approximately 2,217 hectares across the Elk Creek Carbonatite Complex in southeastern Nebraska, United States, which hosts substantial rare earth oxide (REO) and niobium mineralization. In Canada, the company operates the Cap Critical Minerals Project (CAP Property), situated in central British Columbia northeast of Prince George, targeting extensive carbonatite-hosted niobium and rare earth element prospects.
Founded on August 2, 2018, and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the company operates as a publicly traded issuer primarily listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol APXC, with secondary international quotations on the OTCQX (APXCF), the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (KL9), and Euronext Access Paris (MLAPX).
In recent major corporate developments, the company executed a comprehensive corporate rebranding in May 2024, changing its corporate name from Eagle Bay Resources Corp. to Apex Critical Metals Corp. and transitioning its CSE trading ticker from EBR to APXC to align with its strategic pivot toward high-demand critical metals. Over the last two years, the company has significantly expanded its asset footprint through the acquisition and aggressive exploration of the Rift Rare Earth Project in Nebraska, executing multi-phase diamond drilling campaigns that confirmed broad intervals of high-grade rare earth oxide mineralization within the Trinity Zone to advance toward an initial Mineral Resource Estimate. Concurrently, Apex Critical Metals launched advanced exploration initiatives at its CAP Project in British Columbia to delineate large-scale magnetic anomalies identified by airborne geophysical surveys. To support these expanded exploration programs and corporate operations, the company has completed equity financing rounds and secured multi-million-dollar capital investments, alongside expanding its global capital markets visibility across United States and European trading platforms.
