Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) has commenced a diamond drilling program at its uranium-bearing Loranger property near the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. The program targets favorable geophysical indicators intersecting the Tabbernor Fault system to discover conductors and alteration halos indicative of uranium mineralization. Up to 1,000 meters of drilling across 3 to 4 targets are planned. This follows a successful ground reconnaissance on the Eastside property completed last month. Operations, based in Points North, Saskatchewan, are expected to conclude within 18 days.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API, OTCQX: APAAF) announced plans to start a diamond drilling program at its Loranger property, located near the uranium-rich Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. The operation will target NE-SW electromagnetic conductors identified in a 2021 geophysical survey, with drilling to commence mid-June 2024.
The company will drill up to 1,000 meters across 3-4 holes at depths of 200-300 meters, supported by Mustang Helicopters Inc. and Apex Diamond Drilling The project will involve local community workers from the Hatchet Lake First Nations Band to foster community engagement and support.
This program represents a significant step in exploring and developing the Loranger property. The initiative is overseen by Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp.

Upon reaching 70% ownership, Appia and Antonio Vitor Junior will enter into a joint venture to further develop the property.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (APAAF) announced a high-resolution, airborne gravity survey over its Alces Lake property in Saskatchewan, starting in early June 2024. Conducted by Xcalibur Multiphysics, this survey will cover 1,053 line kilometers with 100-meter line spacing, focusing on the property's regional fold and NW-SE regional shear zone. The Falcon Airborne Gravity Gradiometer (AGG) and Magnetic survey aims to provide critical subsurface imaging to guide future exploration, targeting rare earth element (REE) mineralization. The survey data will assist in identifying new REE targets at depths of 200 to 1,000 meters and integrate with other geophysical data for future drilling targets in late 2024 and 2025. This marks a significant step in Appia's strategy to enhance exploration efforts for REE occurrences.
