Apollo Minerals Ltd
ASX:AON
Apollo Minerals is an emerging high-grade gold and base metals exploration company with three core projects. At the Salanie Gold Project in Gabon there is significant potential upside with emerging large-scale, near-surface gold systems presenting. Exploration to date is validating the exciting potential of this project. The Belgrade Copper Project in Serbia is a highly prospective sedimentary copper project in the sought after CBMP Province, and the Kroussou Project is a province-scale, near surface zinc-lead project in Gabon. Management and Leadership have an exceptional history of realising value, including Robert Behets (ex Director of Papillon Resources ~5Moz Au) and Paul Roberts (Founder and Former CEO of Predictive Discovery ~ 5Moz Au).
