How a spectacular niobium discovery sparked investor excitement and where to look next

Disseminated on behalf of Apex Critical Metals Corp. and Zimtu Capital Corp.

Niobium is back in the spotlight of investors following the remarkable discovery by WA1 Resources Ltd. in Western Australia. This former $5 million market cap company hit niobium paydirt in late 2022, when the stock was hovering around 10 cents. In July, WA1 Resources unveiled its maiden resource estimate of 200 million tonnes averaging 1% Nb2O5. With the company‘s valuation soaring to $1 billion and shares trading as high as $23 AUD, early investors have enjoyed a staggering 230-fold return in less than 2 years. This prime example underscores the crucial importance of early identification of the right company and project for investors. The management team at Apex Critical Metals Corp. boasts an unparalleled track record in identifying early-stage projects with the potential to evolve into world-class ventures. Apex directors Jody Dahrouge and Darren Smith, both accomplished geologists, spearheaded the acquisition and discovery of the Corvette Lithium Deposit for Patriot Battery Metals Corp. This achievement catapulted the company to a valuation in excess of $1 billion last year, making it the steward of North America‘s largest lithium hard-rock deposit. Apex CEO Sean Charland brings extensive M&A and financing expertise to the table, having most recently served as a director during the sale of Alpha Lithium Corp. for an impressive sum exceeding $300 million.

Could history be repeating itself for this exceptional team, just as the surging interest in the critical metal niobium has ignited a new wave of investor excitement?
