Apogee Drill Results Confirm the Presence of High Grade Veins and Broad Zones of Mineralization at Candelaria, Santa Isabel.TORONTO -- Apogee Minerals Ltd. (TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension VENTURE:APE) has received all remaining analytical results from its Phase 1 drilling program at the Candelaria at Santa Isabel Santa Isabel: see Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. Santa Isabel or Ysabel Island, central Solomon Islands, western South Pacific Ocean. project in the Potosi district of southwestern Bolivia (see Press Release dated December 3, 2004). The preliminary Phase 1 exploration program was designed to test one vein set (the Consuelito vein), a small portion (300 x 150 metres) of the larger vein system (3000 metres x 2500 metres) at Candelaria, Santa Isabel and to confirm the potential for both high grade veins and possible bulk-mineable mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure.

The results from the preliminary 3-hole drill program confirm the possibilities for both high grade veins and potential bulk-mineable mineralization consisting of veins and veinlets. Assay results from drill Hole #1 (SI-04-01) included several significant high grade Silver-Zinc-Indium veins, including 15 metres of 252.9 g/t Silver, 13.11% Zinc, 1.36% Lead and 230.2 g/t Indium (see Press Release dated February 10, 2005). Hole # 2 (SI-04-03) intersected 109 metres (136-245 metre) 1.11% Zn and 9.98 g Ag/t including 4 metres (136-140 metre) 3.23 % Zn and 19.14 g Ag/t and 3 metres (175-178 metre) 4.69% Zn and 19.10 g Ag/t. Hole # 3 (SI-05-04) intersected 4 metres (39-43 metre) 2.19% Zn and 59.50 g Ag/t. Holes # 2 and #3 represent more of the broader zone of mineralization which is common in these types of deposits.

The deposits are telescoped with early high temperature phases and have some affinities with the epithermal low-sulfidation type model. "We are very pleased with the progress of our Phase I program at Candelaria at Santa Isabel" stated Apogee President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. John Carlesso. "The results we have received are confirming our model of the area and we are actively planning Phase In amphibious operations, the phase normally denoted by the period extending from the issuance of the order initiating the amphibious operation up to the embarkation phase. The planning phase may occur during movement or at any other time upon receipt of a new mission or change in the II to expand and quantify the known areas of mineralization". The significant points of interest at Candelaria, Santa Isabel are: - The property is situated within one of the key metals (Ag, Zn, Pb, Sn, & Sb) mining regions in the world, remaining one of the most important for both current production and future growth. - The significant size of the vein system and related stockworks covers an area 3.0 km x 2.5 km (7.5 square kilometres). - Numerous veins and veinlets are present throughout, commonly with swarms of closely spaced, splaying smaller veins in sheeted zones. Veins vary in width from microveinlets to 10's of metres, and commonly are 2 to 4 metres wide. The ore shoots in veins are commonly 200-300 m along strike and dip Strike and dip refer to the orientation or attitude of a geologic feature. The strike of a stratum or planar feature is a line representing the intersection of that feature with the horizontal. but the veins may extend to more than 1000 metres in depth and strike length. - The vein system displays impressive vertical and horizontal continuity with marked metal zoning. Deeper veins of mainly massive sulphide minerals contain Sn, Ag, Zn and Pb; the shallower veins with quartz-barite and chalcedony-barite carry Ag and rarely Au. Metal zoning from depth to surface and from centres outward shows: Sn + Cu + Zn, Pb + Zn, Pb + Ag and Ag Au; commonly there is considerable 'telescoping' of zones. The Candelaria at Santa Isabel Project is located in southwestern Bolivia, approximately 587 km south southeast of La Paz La Paz, city, Bolivia La Paz (lä päs), city (1992 pop. 713,378), W Bolivia, administrative capital (since 1898) and largest city of Bolivia.

Apogee's Phase 1 Exploration program at Candelaria at Santa Isabel consisted of detailed geological mapping, re-sampling existing mineralized min·er·al·ize v. min·er·al·ized, min·er·al·iz·ing, min·er·al·iz·es v.tr. 1.

Most commonly using wireline and core bits with diamond encrusted matrix. To drill holes to max depths of twelve thousand feet, for the recovery of core used in verifying mineral . Apogee's next phase of work will focus on completing the compilation on the rest of the veins, underground and surface sampling, mapping, and preparing the property for an aggressive drill program.
