NewsfileToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2026) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the "Company" or "Appia") is pleased to announce that mobilization has commenced for its approximately 3,300-metre, 9-hole diamond drill program at the Company's 100%-owned Alces Lake Rare Earth Elements ("REE") Property in northern Saskatchewan.Initial mobilization began on May 29, 2026, with camp personnel arriving on site to prepare the Alces Lake exploration camp for the upcoming summer program. Geologists, drilling crews and support personnel are expected to mobilize following completion of camp setup and site preparations, which are anticipated to be finalized within approximately one week.The 2026 summer drill program is designed to evaluate several high-priority REE targets (Figure 1) identified through Appia's 2025 ground gravity survey, which refined and enhanced target areas initially outlined by the Company's 2024 airborne gravity gradiometer survey. Targets 1, 5, 6 and 7 (Figures 2 to 5) have been prioritized based on their strong geophysical similarities to the high-grade WRCB mineralized zone and the large near-surface Magnet Ridge discovery.The planned program will consist of approximately 3,300 metres of drilling across nine diamond drill holes targeting depths ranging from 300 to 500 metres. The objective is to test the potential continuation of REE-mineralized lithological packages at depth and along strike within the regional northwest-southeast structural corridor that hosts several of the property's key mineralized zones, including WRCB and Magnet Ridge."We are excited to begin our 2026 summer exploration program at Alces Lake," said Tom Drivas, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Appia. "This drill program is designed to test high-priority REE targets at depth that exhibit strong geophysical similarities to the known WRCB and Magnet Ridge mineralized zones. With camp mobilization now underway, we look forward to advancing the project and commencing drilling on these compelling targets."The Alces Lake Property hosts some of the highest-grade rare earth element mineralization identified in Saskatchewan. The property covers approximately 38,522 hectares in northern Saskatchewan and is enriched in critical rare earth elements including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium, which are essential components in permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines and advanced electronic technologies.The Company will make an announcement once drilling commences and will provide ongoing results as they are received.Figure 1 - Alces Lake High-Priority Drill Target Zones (Blue) - Alces Lake, SaskatchewanTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

Original: Appia Plans a 3,300 Metre Summer Drill Program at the Alces Lake Rare Earth Elements Property

They are having great results in Brazil drilling for rare earths. They are drilling down into the carbonitite. It is being paid for by their partner ULTRA.

AI says this: "Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. holds a 25% interest in the Ultra Hard Rock and Ultra IAC projects in Goiás, Brazil, where recent diamond drilling at the Ultra Hard Rock carbonatite target intersected significant rare earth mineralization, including 300 meters grading 2.55% Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) from surface."

whats the latest with this company ??

Appia's Otherside Property has the same geological signatures as other important discoveries in the Athabasca Basin. To me Appia continues to be an opportunity to accumulate a well appointed junior in the uranium and rare earth space.

Appia Completes SPARTAN MT Survey at its Otherside Uranium Property

Preliminary Results Potentially Indicate Multiple Uranium Structural Settings
Preliminary field observations and early review of the MT dataset are encouraging, highlighting multiple structural geochemical traps along the conductor trend that may be favourable for uranium mineralization. Importantly, the Otherside Uranium Property continues to exhibit electromagnetic signatures and structural features that are comparable to those associated with NexGen Energy's "Arrow" deposit (see Appia's Otherside Presentation) and other well known uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.

Appia is currently awaiting Quantec's final processing and interpretation deliverables to provide a more complete picture of the subsurface architecture and to further refine priority drill targets for Appia's planned 2026 to 2027 drill program.

Survey Objective: Advance Drill Ready Targeting
The MT survey was designed to refine and confirm drill ready targets along the extensive conductor trend by mapping subsurface resistivity and identifying key faults and shear zones, conductive zones, and resistivity contrasts that may reflect structural pathways and alteration associated with uranium deposition. The results will be integrated into a 3D geophysical-geological model with Appia's 2024 airborne gravity and magnetic survey data, along with historical datasets, to strengthen target confidence and support final drill planning/targeting.

Drilling work on the ULTRA IAC Target is underway with two Reverse Circulation (RC) rigs on site and two more rigs expected in the first week of March, with plans to drill a total of 952 RC holes. Initial Assay results are expected in the next few weeks. In addition, Ultra will continue exploration drilling with two auger rigs.Tom Drivas, CEO & Director of Appia, commented: "These latest drill results continue to demonstrate the impressive scale and grade of the Ultra Hard Rock carbonatite mineralized system, with long intercepts from surface and multiple high-grade zones above 4% TREO. Particularly notable is the exceptional high-grade interval of 1.7 metres grading 14.27% TREO at 95.3 metres, which highlights the strength of the system. These results further reinforce our confidence as drilling continues to expand the target zone." The drillholes (Figure 1) reached up to 300 metres delineating most of the carbonatitic intrusion dimensions and confirm the continuity of the grades already identified in the three drillholes executed on the previous program.

Appia Begins Drilling at the Uranium-Bearing Loranger Property, Wollaston Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada

TORONTO, ON, June 25th, 2024, Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (the “Company” or “Appia”) (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) (FWB: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. is excited to announce the commencement of its diamond drilling program at the uranium-bearing Loranger property adjacent to the renowned Athabasca Basin. The goal of this program is to target favorable geophysical indicators intersecting the Tabbernor Fault system, with the primary objective of discovering conductors and alteration halos that may lead to uranium mineralization. The program will include up to 1,000 meters of drilling across 3 to 4 drill targets.

Stephen Burega, President of Appia, commented: “With the commencement of the Loranger drill program, Appia reconfirms its commitment to moving our uranium assets in Saskatchewan forward. Following the completion of a successful ground reconnaissance program on our Eastside property last month (see June 5th 2024 Press Release), we now have a drill testing a number of intriguing conductors at the Loranger property aimed at uncovering uranium mineralization and key geological indicators to further our understanding of the project’s potential.”

Did you see the NI 43-101 that Appia just filed yesterday?

Appia files NI 43-101 for their PCH Ionic Clay deposit in Brazil

This is amazingly fast work because they only obtained the property at PDAC 2023!
They have some of the highest grades ever reported in the ionic clay arena.

They have only explored just over 1% of the PCH project, onwards and upwards!

Halifax, Nova Scotia (March 4, 2024) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) (“Ucore” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has completed the second milestone outlined in its US$4 million Other Transaction Agreement (the “OTA”) with the US Department of Defense (the “DoD”) at the Company’s Commercialization and Demonstration Facility (“CDF”) in Kingston, Ontario, utilizing its 52-Stage RapidSX™ Demonstration Plant (“Demo Plant”) for the separation of mixed heavy and light rare earth elements (“REE”) chemical concentrate feedstocks – i.e., mixed rare earth oxides (MREOs) and carbonates (MRECs).

Appia Reports High-Grade Total Rare Earth Oxide Results up to 22,339 ppm or 2.23% on Diamond Drill Hole #1 Within Target IV at PCH IAC Project, Brazil

TORONTO, ON, February 26th, 2024, Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (the “Company” or “Appia”) (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) (FWB: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) announces results from its 2023 Diamond Drill Hole (DDH) #1 in the NE zone within Target IV at its PCH IAC REE project in Brazil. The exploratory drill hole aimed to assess the continuity of the alkali breccia present through depth, reaching a total depth of 243.25 metres and collar coordinates 480,250.3E 8,193,820.9N (Datum SIRGAS 2000 ZONE 22S). Results have revealed a true thickness of approximately 217 metres, inclined at -63 degrees.

Stephen Burega, President, commented, "The findings from the ionic clay and saprolite weathered profile on PCH-DDH-001 underscore the exceptional potential of the target zone. The weathered profile along the hole extended to approximately 20 meters of true thickness yielding concentrations of 5,548 ppm or 0.55% Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO), 1,420 ppm or 0.14% Magnet Rare Earth Oxide (MREO). The results confirm the ultra-high-grade nature of the upper levels, including concentrations reaching up to 22,339 ppm or 2.23% TREO, 6,204 ppm or 0.62% MREO, and 2,074 ppm or 0.21% Heavy Rare Earth Oxide (HREO) across 2 metres from a depth of 2 m to 4 m.”

Highlights:

Composite results across 243.25 metres:
1,901 ppm or 0.19% TREO including 457 ppm or 0.05% MREO, 143 ppm or 0.01% HREO, and 1,757 ppm or 0.18% Light Rare Earth Oxide (LREO).

Composite results 0-9 metres:
10,247 ppm or 1.02% TREO, 2,672 ppm or 0.27% MREO, 867 ppm or 0.09% HREO, and 9,380 ppm or 0.94% LREO, including:
22,339 ppm or 2.23% TREO, 6,204 ppm or 0.62% MREO, 2,074 ppm or 0.21% HREO, and 20,265 ppm or 2.03% LREO (from 2-4 m).

Composite results 25.50-52.00 metres:
2,168 ppm or 0.22 % TREO, 518 ppm or 0.05% MREO, 153 ppm or 0.01% HREO, and 2,015 ppm or 0.20% LREO.

Composite results 58.00-140.00 metres:
1,648 ppm or 0.16 % TREO, 378 ppm or 0.04% MREO, 109 ppm or 0.01% HREO, and 1,538 ppm or 0.15% LREO.

“Appia’s DDH-001 reveals more than 26 meters with over 2,000 ppm TREO below the saprolite. The mineralized breccia indicates in most of the intervals expected concentration of REE common to carbonatitic rocks that serves as a source for the enrichment in REE found on the ionic clay interval (0 to 22.25 metres). Some samples below 22.25 metres returned grades above 4,000 ppm TREO, offering opportunities for exploratory investigation into the hard rock depths. With over 2,000 metres drilled, the total 2023 drilling campaign consisted of 147 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes, 1 DDH, and over 200 exploratory auger holes, the PCH Project continues to demonstrate significant mineralization and high-grade REE contents, validating our strategic approach,” adds Burega.

The Company remains committed to advancing exploration activities at its PCH Project with its ongoing auger drilling program and looks forward to providing updates on the NI-43-101 Technical Report and maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in collaboration with SGS Consultants.

Toronto, Ontario, January 16, 2024 - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the "Company" or "Appia") is pleased to announce a substantial increase in the total weighted average grade of drill hole PCH-RC-063 at our PCH Ionic Adsorption Clay project in Goias, Brazil, which had previously been reported (Press Release October 31, 2023 - Click Here). The Reverse Circulation (RC) PCH-RC-063 drill hole exceeded multiple intervals limits of detection (LOD), prompting a reanalysis using methods suited to very high grade samples.

The new analysis, conducted by SGS Geosl Labs, used method IMS95RS. The updated assays reveal a very significant 42.2% increase in Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) and a notable 9.2% increase in Magnet Rare Earth Oxides (MREO). Of particular significance is the high-grade 2 metre (m) intercept from 10m to 12m, showing an exceptional 92,758 ppm (Parts Per Million) or 9.28% TREO, with 13,798 ppm or 1.38% MREO, and 2,241 ppm or 0.22% Heavy Rare Earth Oxide (HREO), and 90,516 ppm or 9.05% Light Rare Earth Oxide (LREO).

Highlights:

PCH-RC-063 from 0 - 24m End of Hole (EOH):
Total Weighted Average of 38,655 ppm or 3.87% TREO, 6,869 ppm or 0.69% MREO, 1,380 ppm or 0.14% HREO, and 37,275 ppm or 3.28% LREO.
Including 92,758 ppm or 9.28% TREO across 2m (from 10m to 12m ) with 13,798 ppm or 1.38% MREO; 2,241 ppm or 0.22% HREO; and 90,516 ppm or 9.05% LREO.

"These assays not only validate the extraordinary results of the PCH-RC-063 drill hole but also underscore the substantial high-grade potential mineralization in the SW Extension Zone (See Press Release November 28, 2023 - Click Here)," stated Tom Drivas, CEO. "We are excited about the possibilities revealed by these findings and advancing additional exploration and development efforts to fully tap into the promising potential of this high-grade zone."

Appia Receives Approval for 12 Additional Claim Blocks at Its PCH Rare Earths Ionic Adsorption Clay Project, Goias, Brazil

Total Exploration Area More Than Doubled Adding 23,412.11 Hectares, Presenting Exceptional New Potential for Additional Critical Mineral Targets

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 11, 2024) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the "Company" or "Appia") is pleased to announce the extension of its existing mining claims at the PCH project in Goias, Brazil from 17,551.07 hectares to an expansive 40,963.18 hectares across a total of 22 claim blocks. This substantial 133% increase in the current land package includes 12 new claims independently staked by the Company, but included as part of the project acquisition (details available HERE), incurring minimal costs. This strategic expansion provides Appia with an exceptional opportunity to explore this promising geological corridor to the north of its current claim zones, unveiling new avenues for potential critical mineral resource discoveries.

"The expansion of our exploration rights to 40,963.18 hectares marks a pivotal moment for Appia in Brazil as we build on the momentum achieved through our initial drilling program at the Target IV and Buriti zones," commented Stephen Burega, President, "Our dedicated Brazilian team is eager to explore the untapped potential of the northern corridor, where similar geological and geophysical features have been identified."

Burega adds, "There is huge potential in these new claim blocks as we can draw clear parallels to the favourable geology that hosts the critical rare earth minerals that initially convinced us to enter into our agreement on the PCH project. Doubling the size of our overall land package within the prolific alkali province not only reflects our commitment but also strengthens the Company's strategic plans. We aim to develop a series of potential target zones, extending the project focus for the benefit of our valued shareholders. This expansion underscores our dedication to unlocking the full spectrum of opportunities in Brazil's mineral-rich landscape."

2023 Year In Review

Appia Announces Scandium and Cobalt Discovery at Its New Buriti Target at the PCH Project, Brazil; Reverse Circulation Drill Hole Returns 24 Metres of Mineralization Averaging 128 ppm Scandium Oxide, 272 ppm Total Cobalt Oxides and 2,106 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides from Surface

TORONTO, ONTARIO, December 12th, 2023, - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (the “Company” or “Appia”) (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) (Germany: “A0I0.F”, “A0I0.MU”, “A0I0.BE”) is pleased to announce the discovery of a new mineralized zone named BURITI, showcasing mineralization of Scandium (Sc), Cobalt (Co) and Rare Earth Elements (REE) in Reverse Circulation (RC) hole PCH-RC-116. This newly identified mineralized BURITI Target, located within the weathered profile southward from the current area of interest, was revealed through exploratory RC and Auger drilling conducted as part of the ongoing 2023 drill program. Of the 300-hole drill campaign, 47 holes were executed within the newly defined Buriti Target Zone.

“This discovery opens the potential of a promising new target zone for exploration and development, and represents the first time that we have intersected significant continuous levels of Scandium Oxide (Sc2O3), Cobalt Oxide (CoO), and Rare Earth Oxides (REO) mineralization in the same RC drill hole,” stated Tom Drivas, CEO of Appia. He continued, “PCH-RC-116’s average grade of 128 ppm Sc203, 272 ppm CoO, and 2,106 ppm TREO across 24 metres from surface represents an especially important new exploration target for the Company.”

Highlights:

PCH-RC-116 from 0 – 24m End of Hole (EOH):
Total Weighted Average of 128 Parts Per Million (ppm) or 0.013% Sc2O3, 272 ppm or 0.027% CoO, and 2,106 ppm or 0.21% of Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO).
Highest-Grade Intercepts:
133 ppm or 0.013% Sc2O3, 359 ppm or 0.036% CoO, and 2,461 ppm or 0.24% TREO across 15m (from 4-19m), including:
183 ppm or 0.018% Sc2O3, 414ppm or 0.041% CoO, and 2,401 ppm or 0.24% TREO across 6m (from 10-16m).

"These are valuable elements, identifying a mineralized zone with this range of grades that remains open at depth introduces a new layer of potential value to our PCH project,” Stated Stephen Burega, President. “Appia will be conducting a thorough investigation into the extent of this significant discovery, and analytical results for the 46 pending RC and Auger drill holes from this mineralized zone will be reported once received. Metallurgical testing is planned to confirm the economic potential of the Buriti Target.”

The Buriti Target is hosted within mafic and ultramafic rock formations associated with the Tertiary-age regional alkaline complex. Despite the proximity of Target IV, where the lithology consists of granites and alkali breccias, this new target is predominantly underlain bygabbro, diorite and pyroxenite. “The high-grade intervals identified within the weathering profile, specifically in the saprolite layer, represent a supergene concentration of scandium and cobalt together with REEs within these mafic rocks,” commented Carlos Bastos, Geology Manager and Brazilian Qualified Person (QP).

Leo Fraga, Senior Geologist, observed, “The presence of consistently higher-gradeREE values throughout the entire hole PCH-RC-116 is very encouraging. The hole remains open at depth, showing a 20-metre interval with 2,421 ppm TREO, and 454 ppm Magnet Rare Earth Oxides (MREO) constituting 20% of the total TREO from 4m to 24m (EOH).”

Recent market analysis indicates that the demand for Scandium reached approximately USD 15 billion in 2022 and forecasts indicate a significant increase in this figure is expected as Scandium appears on most Critical Metals lists globally. Despite a fairly common but distributed occurrence, scandium rarely concentrates in nature, making commercial grade stand-alone resources quite unusual. The most significant forward-looking market opportunity for scandium is as an alloying agent for aluminum. When applied as an addition to certain standard aluminum alloys, scandium can produce stronger, more corrosion resistant, more heat tolerant, weldable aluminum products. This strong resistance to extreme heat that makes scandium oxide important in various applications, including high-temperature systems, electronic ceramics, aerospace alloys, and glass manufacturing. Scandium is currently trading in a substantial +/-$1000 USD per kg range.

The Company has achieved a milestone of 300 combined drill holes and is committed to keeping investors informed of the project results. Timely updates will be provided as assay results are obtained from the remaining 3 RC, 77 auger drill holes, which are located both within Target IV and various extension zones including the newly defined Buriti Zone. The Company has an ongoing auger drilling program across the entire PCH property to identify additional target zones, which further underscores our commitment to thorough exploration beyond the established Target IV and Buriti Target areas.

Appia Rare to issue 500,000 shares under PCH option

2023-12-04 11:14 ET - News Release


Mr. Tom Drivas reports

APPIA ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PCH PROJECT ACQUISITION

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp., further to the press release issued on June 9, 2023, will be issuing the first tranche of 500,000 shares pursuant to the definitive agreement with 3S Ltda., Beko Invest Ltd., Antonio Vitor Jr. and AZ125 Mineracao Ltda., now known as Appia Brasil Rare Earths Mineracao Ltda., to acquire up to a 70-per-cent interest in the PCH project located in the Tocantins structural province of the Brasilia fold belt, Goias state, Brazil.

Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement, the property is now registered in the name of the company, and Appia currently holds a 70-per-cent interest in the company (350,000 quotas) and Mr. Vitor holds a 30-per-cent interest in the company (150,000 quotas). The first tranche of 500,000 shares will be issued to Beko on Dec. 11, 2023.

Upon the issuance of the 500,000 shares, the continuing exploration and development of the property will be governed by the terms of a quota holders agreement among Appia, Beko, Mr. Vitor and the company dated July 20, 2023. Appia can maintain its 70-per-cent interest in the company by issuing an aggregate of a further two million common shares of Appia to Beko and spending $10-million (U.S.) on the property over a period of five years (the option period), after which Appia will have earned a 60-per-cent interest in the company. If Appia earns its 60-per-cent interest, it will then be obligated, within 90 days of earning its 60-per-cent interest, to issue a further $1.25-million (U.S.) of common shares of Appia to Beko to earn a further 10-per-cent interest in the company. The number of shares to be issued to earn the further 10 per cent shall be that number of common shares of Appia equal to the number arrived at by dividing $1.25-million (U.S.) by the greater of: the average closing price of the common shares as quoted on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the announcement by Appia of its intention to earn the additional 10-per-cent interest; and the discounted market price of the common shares of Appia based on the last closing price immediately preceding the announcement.

Appia will acquire incremental vested interests in the company upon completion of specific expenditure requirements, pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement. Once Appia issues at least a further 500,000 common shares to Beko and spends at least $1-million (U.S.) on the property (at which time it will have earned a 10-per-cent interest in the company) (the initial obligation), Beko will be granted a 1-per-cnet net smelter return (NSR) royalty in the property. Appia will have a right of first refusal to acquire the 1-per-cent NSR.

Once Appia has earned its 70-per-cent interest in the company, Appia and Mr. Vitor will enter into a joint venture with respect to the further exploration and development of the property, with Appia holding a 70-per-cent interest and Mr. Vitor holding a 30-per-cent interest in the company. The quota holders agreement will act as a unanimous shareholders agreement and a joint venture agreement with respect to the further exploration and development of the property. Upon the formation of the joint venture, Mr. Vitor will have 90 days within which to elect to either: (a) participate in the joint venture and contribute his pro rata share of expenditures, or be diluted; (b) sell all of his 30-per-cent interest in the company, subject to a right of first refusal in favour of Appia; or (c) elect to have Appia finance its pro rata share of expenditures pursuant to the joint venture, subject to the right of Appia to be reimbursed for 150 per cent of the expenditures made by Appia on behalf of Mr. Vitor before any proceeds are paid to Mr. Vitor.

If a party is required to make a contribution pursuant to the joint venture and that party does not make its pro rata contribution to development expenditures, that party's interest in the company will be diluted pro rata, based upon that party's deemed and actual contributions to the joint venture relative to the total deemed and actual contributions to the joint venture by both parties. A party whose interest is diluted to 10 per cent or less shall immediately be converted to a 1-per-cent net smelter return royalty, with the remaining party's interest converted to a 100-per-cent interest in the company subject to payment of the 1-per-cent dilution NSR. The remaining party will have a right of first refusal to purchase the 1-per-cent dilution NSR.

Should Appia fail to make some or all of the expenditures required in any year, Beko will notify Appia in writing of such failure, after which Appia will have 30 days to make the required expenditure. Failure to make the expenditure within the 30 days will result in Appia's earned interest being reduced pro rata in proportion to the amount of money actually expended by Appia in such year. Appia shall have the right to make additional expenditures in a subsequent year to earn the balance of the interest it would have earned had it made the entire expenditure in the previous year. If Appia fails to expend an aggregate of $10-million (U.S.) and issue an aggregate of two million common shares of Appia to Beko within the option period, Appia may, at any time during the option period after completing the initial obligation, notify Beko that it does not intend to provide any further financing for the property (the cease financing notice). Upon delivery of the cease financing notice to Beko, Appia shall have earned the applicable interest in the company and shall transfer to Mr. Vitor that number of quotas of the company equal to 70 per cent minus the earned interest. Thereafter, Appia shall hold the earned interest in the company and Mr. Vitor shall hold 100 per cent minus the earned interest in the company. Upon delivery of the cease financing notice, and the adjustment in the interests of Appia and Mr. Vitor in the company, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to determine how to proceed with their respective interests in the company.

Background on the PCH project

The PCH project is located within the Tocantins structural province in the Brasilia fold belt, more specifically, the Arenopolis magmatic arc. The PCH project is 17,551.07 hectares in size and located within the Goias state of Brazil. It is classified as an alkaline intrusive rock occurrence with highly anomalous REE (rare earth element) and niobium mineralization. This mineralization is related to alkaline lithologies of the Fazenda Buriti plutonic complex, and the hydrothermal and surface alteration products of this complex by supergene enrichment in a tropical climate. The positive results of the geochemical exploration work carried out to date indicates the potential for high-grade REEs and niobium mineral resources within the lateritic ionic adsorption clays.

Appia corrects Target IV total area to 193 hectares

2023-11-28 19:40 ET - News Release


Mr. Tom Drivas reports

APPIA ANNOUNCES CORRECTED TARGET IV TOTAL AREA

Further to Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp.'s press release issued earlier today, the total area for Target IV has been updated to 193 hectares, with the further delineation of the SW extension zone, a significant high-grade rare earth element mineralized zone located in the southwest corner of the Target IV zone. This discovery spans an area of over 1,000 metres by 500 metres, with an average thickness of approximately 19 metres, and builds on the previously announced remarkable PCH-RC-63 results. (See the Oct. 31, 2023, press release.) The press release issued earlier today erroneously listed the total area shown for Target IV as 1,702 hectares, rather than 193 hectares.

Highlights:

High-grade SW extension zone:
10 reverse circulation holes with a total weighted average of 7,578 parts per million or 0.76 per cent total rare earth oxide, including:
1,744 ppm or 0.17 per cent magnet rare earth oxide, 416 ppm or 0.04 per cent heavy rare earth oxide, and 7,162 ppm or 0.71 per cent light rare earth oxide;
The SW extension zone currently spans approximately 0.5 square kilometre with average hole depths of 19 metres -- all open at depth;
Highest-grade RC and auger intercepts:
PCH-RC-067 from zero to 11 metres, end of hole:
24,309 ppm or 2.43 per cent TREO, 5,717 ppm or 0.57 per cent MREO, 1,452 ppm or 0.15 per cent HREO, and 22,857 ppm or 2.29 per cent LREO;
PCH-RC-066 from zero to 13 m, EOH:
12,858 ppm or 1.29 per cent TREO, 2,789 ppm or 0.28 per cent MREO, 524 ppm or 0.05 per cent HREO, and 12,334 ppm or 1.23 per cent LREO;
PCH-RC-063 from zero to 24 m, EOH:
27,188 ppm or 2.72 per cent TREO, 6,293 ppm or 0.63 per cent MREO, 1,369 ppm or 0.14 per cent HREO, and 25,819 ppm or 2.59 per cent LREO;
Two AH holes have a total weighted average of 10,249 ppm or 1.02 per cent TREO, including:
PCH-AH-29 from zero to seven m, EOH:
4,122 ppm or 0.41 per cent TREO, 1,066 ppm or 0.11 per cent MREO, 361 ppm or 0.04 per cent HREO, and 3,762 ppm or 0.38 per cent light rare earth oxides;
PCH-AH-30 from zero to seven m, EOH:
16,375 ppm or 1.64 per cent TREO, 2,955 ppm or 0.30 per cent MREO, 457 ppm or 0.05 per cent HREO, and 15,918 ppm or 1.59 per cent light rare earth oxides.
"We believe that the high-grade nature of the SW extension zone, which contains magnet rare earth oxides sample values of up to 13,212 ppm or 1.32 per cent, places this discovery on a global stage. The fact that all of these holes are still open at depth creates an opportunity to discover additional mineralization at depth," stated Tom Drivas, chief executive officer.

"Appia's work with exploratory auger drilling has delivered compelling results, particularly when the 2023 auger holes PCH-AH-29 and PCH-AH-30 are included, which returned a total weighted average of over 10,000 ppm or 1 per cent TREO over seven m of depth," noted Stephen Burega, president. "Follow-up RC drilling successfully expanded the overall total depth of the high-grade mineralization to an average of approximately 19 metres across this zone, and we've observed mineralization throughout the length of all RC and auger holes. For instance, holes PCH-RC-063 with a total depth of 24 m and PCH-RC-067 with a total depth of 11 m each yielded grades exceeding 24,000 ppm or 2.4 per cent TREO and over 5,000 ppm or 0.5 per cent MREO at the bottom of each drill hole."

The lateral extension and the depth of the SW extension high-grade zone has not been fully tested, and the company eagerly awaits results from the remaining seven RC holes drilled within this new zone, in addition to the numerous RC drill holes to the south located outside of the Target IV boundary. Target IV encompasses 193 hectares, with the SW extension zone occupying about 50 hectares. In total, the PCH project spans 17,551 hectares across 10 claims.


Appia has previously provided details on a total of 57 RC drill holes, showcasing an extraordinary overall total weighted-average grade of 2,287 ppm TREO (see the press release dated Nov. 9, 2023). The company will provide timely updates to investors as assay results are received from the remaining 85 RC, 128 auger and one diamond drill holes, which are located both within Target IV and from various extension zones outside of the main Target IV zone.

The positive results of the geochemical exploration work carried out to date indicate the potential for high-grade REEs and niobium mineral resources within the lateritic ionic adsorption clays.

Quality assurance/quality control

Reverse circulation drill holes are vertical, and reported intervals are true thicknesses. Each is sampled at one-metre intervals, resulting in average sample sizes of five to 25 kilograms. A small representative specimen was taken from each sample bag and placed into a chip tray for visual inspection and logging by the geologist. Quartering was performed at Appia's logging facility using a riffle splitter and continued splitting until a representative sample weighing approximately 500 grams each was obtained, bagged in a resistant plastic bag, labelled, photographed and stored for shipment.

The samples were sent to the SGS laboratory in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais. In addition to the internal QA/QC of the SGS lab, Appia has included its own control samples in each sample batch sent to the laboratory.

Quality control samples, such as blanks, duplicates and standards (CRM), were inserted into each analytical run. For all analytical methods, the minimum number of QA/QC samples is one standard, one duplicate and one blank, introduced into every batch which comprises a full-length hole. The rigorous procedures implemented during the sample collection, preparation and analysis stages underscore the robustness and reliability of the analytical results obtained.

All analytical results reported herein have passed internal QA/QC review and compilation. All assay results of RC samples were provided by SGS Geosol, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified laboratory, which performed its measure of the concentration of rare earth element analyses by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analytical methods.
