Appia Drills 6.08m of 0.305 wt.% Treo Within Wide Zone of 26.07 Metres Grading 0.246 wt.% Treo at the Alces Lake Magnet Ridge Zone

 Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (FSE: A0I0.F) (FSE: A0I0.MU) (FSE: A0I0.BE) (the "Company" or "Appia") is excited to announce the release of geochemical assay results from 2022 diamond drilling of the Magnet Ridge Zone on its 100%-owned Alces Lake Rare Earth Elements (REES) Property, Northern Saskatchewan.

Final assays for Appia's 2022 Alces Lake diamond drilling program have been received, compiled, and interpreted zone-by-zone. The second set of results is reported here. Further results will follow once all the results are finalized.

Highlights from the Magnet Ridge drilling program (Table 1) are listed as follows:

  • Drilling intersected thick sequences of REES from surface to 85 meters depth, with drilled widths up to 28.19 meters.
  • The discovered mineralization intervals are similar in nature and larger in size when compared to the AMP Zone at WRCB.
  • Total rare earths oxide (TREO) assays of up to 0.65 wt.% (6500 ppm) TREO were returned, with thickness and grades increasing by >50% to the south-southeast; all within 85 meters of surface.
  • 19.85m @ 0.317 wt.% TREO including 8.94m @ 0.467 wt.% TREO in hole 22-AUG-031
  • 18.67m @ 0.245 wt.% TREO including 9.02m @ 0.344 wt.% TREO in hole 22-AUG-030
  • 26.70m @ 0.246 wt.% TREO including 6.08m @ 0.305 wt.% TREO in hole 22-AUG-013
  • 28.19m @ 0.190 wt.% TREO including 3.07m @ 0.506 wt.% TREO in hole 22-AUG-026
  • Follow-up drilling is warranted.

In 2022, the Company drilled the Magnet Ridge (formally Augier) prospect (located SSE of WRCB, Figure 1) for the first time and intersected REE mineralization in 27 of 34 DDHs near surface over significant strike length and drilled widths exceeding 28 metres (Figures 2 and 3, Table 1). Table 1 below highlights the most significant geochemical assay results from the Magnet Ridge Zone. Table 2 provides the collar information for all of the drill holes from the 2022 Wilson and AMP (WRC) diamond drilling program. The complete assays results are available in Table 3 by clicking on this link.

The Magnet Ridge zone was discovered from interpreted results of a 2021 airborne radiometric (U-Th-K) survey (Figures 1 and 4), and is exposed on surface as a large 500m long and 150m wide zone of thorium enrichment (Figure 2) along the same km-scale SSE-trending structural corridor hosting the monazite-rich REE zones of the WRCB area (Figures 1 and 4). Mineralization at Magnet Ridge remains open to the SSE and to the NNW for follow-up drilling in 2023. Radiometric Thorium (Th) is an important proxy for delineating monazite mineralization at Alces Lake. A representative X-section (Figure 3) suggests that the structural geometry of the mineralization is complex and probably folded.

Vice President of Exploration Irvine Annesley says "The Company is excited that our very first drilling program at Magnet Ridge yielded these highly anomalous results. Like the WRCB area's AMP zone, the mineralization style/type at Magnet Ridge opens new potential for large-volume, high-tonnage REE deposits over significant strike-length at Alces Lake".

Comprehensive interpretation and modeling of the WRCB and Magnet Ridge mineralized zones have indicated that follow-up geophysical and geochemical surveys (e.g., Figure 4) are necessary along and across the highest-priority areas of a major structural corridor that extends south-southeast from the main mineralized zones at WRCB to Magnet Ridge and then for another 20 to 25 km. These surveys will facilitate delineation and mapping of REE mineralized (monazite-bearing) pegmatites and associated glimmerites within this structural corridor to establish new drill targets. The petrophysical characteristics (i.e. density, radiometric, and magnetic properties) of monazite will be maximized as a vectoring tool(s) for finding new targets (i.e. by utilizing leading edge exploration technology like airborne radiometrics/magnetics/3D gravity gradiometer surveys at optimal line spacing/orientation).

Table 3 - The complete assays results are availableby clicking on this link. About the Alces Lake Project

The Alces Lake project encompasses some of the highest-grade total and critical* REEs and gallium mineralization in the world, hosted within several surface and near-surface monazite-bearing occurrences that remain open at depth and along strike.

* Critical rare earth elements are defined here as those that are in short-supply and high-demand for use in permanent magnets and modern electronic applications such as electric vehicles and wind turbines (i.e: neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb)).

The Alces Lake project is located in northern Saskatchewan, the same provincial jurisdiction that is developing a "first-of-its-kind" rare earth processing facility in Canada (currently under construction by the Saskatchewan Research Council and scheduled to become fully operational in early 2024). The Alces Lake project area is 38,522.43 contiguous hectares (95,191.00 acres) in size and is 100% owned by Appia.

All lithogeochemical assay results of core samples were provided by Saskatchewan Research Council's Geoanalytical Laboratory, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CAN-P-4E) certified laboratory in Saskatoon, SK. All analytical results reported herein have passed internal QA/QC review and compilation.

The technical content in this news release was reviewed and approved by Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, P.Geo, Vice-President Exploration, and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Mining Leaders Call on Canada to Support Critical Minerals Industry

Canada holds a significant presence in the global resource sector, but a recent KPMG survey shows mining leaders agree more work needs to be done if the country wants to be an industry leader in critical minerals.

While 91 percent of those polled are optimistic about the nation’s potential to become a key critical minerals player, a similarly overwhelming majority — or 98 percent of respondents — believe that much effort is needed to put Canada at the forefront. They'd like to see more investment and government commitment, as well as favorable tax policies.

Billion Dollar Uranium Market Growing at a Solid Rate Along With Rising Adoption Strategies

FN Media Group News Commentary - The Global Uranium Mining Market has consistently been growing over the past several years and is expected to continue for years to come. Uranium is a silver-white metal chemical element belonging to the lanthanide series of the periodic table. Its chemical symbol is U and its atomic order is 92. Each uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons, 6 of which are valence electrons. Uranium is micro-radioactive, its isotopes are unstable, and uranium-238 and uranium-235 are the most common. A report from Market Reports World said that the global Uranium market size is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.6% of 3.6% during the forecast period, reaching USD $3.27 Billion by 2027. The report said that the primary factors propelling the growth in the industry is primarily fueled by technological advancements, evolving consumer preferences, and the impact of government policies and regulations, which serve as drivers for expansion. Another report from 360Research Reports said: "The Global Uranium Mining, market is anticipated to rise at a considerable rate during the forecast period, between 2024 and 2031. In 2023, the market is growing at a steady rate and with the rising adoption of strategies by key players, the market is expected to rise over the projected horizon." Active mining companies in the markets this week include Stallion Uranium Corp. (OTCQB: STLNF) (TSX-V: STUD), CanAlaska Uranium Ltd.
