Apollo Minerals Ltd (ASX:AON, OTC:APOMF) has lodged its September 2025 quarterly report, outlining progress across its core Gabonese assets.
At the Salanie Gold Project, the company advanced a diamond drilling campaign targeting untested zones at key prospects and extending previously reported shallow high-grade mineralisation at A1 (11.7 metres at 4.3 g/t Au from 9.6 metres). Phase 2 work at A1 returned 3.8 metres at 1.3 g/t Au from 17.5 metres, with the mineralised trend remaining open to the north.
Drilling at the P6 prospect intersected high-grade gold associated with quartz veining near historical underground workings, highlighted by 1.1 metres at 19.9 g/t Au from 56 metres in hole SLDD013.
Additional results included 3.0 metres at 1.0 g/t Au from 74 metres, 0.6 metres at 2.5 g/t Au from 17.5 metres and 0.7 metres at 1.3 g/t Au from 25 metres. Apollo says the results to date support the potential of the 12-kilometre-long Salanie greenstone system to host gold mineralisation, particularly within quartz veins. Data from the 2025 drilling and mapping programs are now being assessed to plan the next phase of work.

Target defined at Kroussou
At the Kroussou Zinc-Lead Project, an initial Exploration Target was defined using only six of the 23 identified prospects, indicating scope for a substantial base-metal endowment.
Mineralisation across target areas is shallow, averaging around 15 metres depth, which could suit simple open-pit extraction. During the quarter, field mapping and sampling focused on Doubaye (T7), Ngongui (T8) and Bouambo West (T10) to refine embayment extents and locate surface mineralisation, with results pending.
Bouambo West, previously drilled for 5.8 metres at 6.5% Zn+Pb from 10.2 metres and 1.9 metres at 6.8% Zn+Pb, remained a key focus.
