10:58 AM EDT, 05/22/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Amex Exploration (AMXEF) is now off restriction at National Bank of Canada after the company closed a C$59 million private placement, the bank said Thursday.

The bank gave Amex an outperform rating and C$6.50 price target.

The financing was a de-risking milestone that allows Amex to have a strong balance sheet to advance engineering and construction of an underground ramp and bulk sample at the Perron gold project in Quebec.

The funds will also allow Amex to advance its mine development plans and conduct more aggressive drill campaigns across the district-scale portfolio of mineral claims in the northern Abitibi, National Bank said.

Amex traded at $4.64 per share at last look Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Price: 4.63, Change: -0.12, Percent Change: -2.53

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
