Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp has secured an additional mining claim of 1,969.06 hectares on the Eastern border of its PCH project through a public bidding process with the Brazilian National Mining Agency. This acquisition increases the total project area to 42,932.24 hectares. The new claim expands the potential rare earth mineralization associated with the ionic adsorption clay targets - Taygeta and Merope - which have shown consistent IAC mineralization and strong desorption results for magnet rare earths.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium has completed its diamond drilling program in the SouthWest Extension Zone of Target IV at its Ionic Adsorption Clay project in Goias, Brazil. The program consisted of three drillholes totaling 450.7 metres, successfully intercepting carbonatitic breccia and highly altered hardrock zones. Previous drilling in the area revealed high-grade clay material with up to 9.3% Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) and averaging over 2.7% TREO over 0-24 metres. The company anticipates similar grades in the hardrock mineralization at depth. The preliminary geological interpretation shows Hydrothermalized Carbonatitic Breccia remaining open at depth, with assay results expected in approximately 30 days.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) has initiated a diamond drilling program in Target IV's southwest corner. The program aims to identify and delineate high-grade Rare Earth Elements (REE) at depth, following previous discoveries showing 9.28% TREO across 2 metres. The current program includes up to 450 meters of drilling across three 150-metre drillholes, with an expected completion timeline of approximately 25 days. This follows the company's maiden Mineral Resource Estimate on Target IV and the Buriti Zone announced on March 1st, 2024.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) has announced the start of an airborne Gravity Gradiometer and Magnetic Survey over its Otherside Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada. The survey, conducted by Xcalibur Smart Mapping using Falcon Airborne Gravity Gradiometer technology, aims to identify key anomalies that may lead to uranium discoveries.
The Otherside Property is located along a 40 km-long corridor with several electromagnetic conductors, sharing similarities with high-grade uranium deposits in the western Athabasca Basin. This survey is a important step in Appia's exploration efforts, providing data to guide future drilling decisions.
Stephen Burega, President of Appia, expressed excitement about the survey, highlighting its potential to identify geophysical signatures that could lead to uranium discoveries. The company plans to use the gathered data to refine its geological model of the Otherside Property and identify priority drill targets.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. has confirmed the discovery of uranium (U) and rare earth element (REE) mineralization at the Loranger Project in Saskatchewan, Canada. The exploratory drill tests at the southern limits of the property intersected significant mineralization in three targets, with results analyzed by the Saskatchewan Research Council Laboratories. Highlights include:
- Uranium Mineralization: Drill Core 24-LOR-003 showed 0.10 m of 409.11 ppm U3O8 from 171.31 m to 171.41 m.
- REE Mineralization: Drill Core 24-LOR-003 revealed 0.18 m of 0.56 wt.% TREO from 154.02 m to 154.10 m, including 0.10 m of 0.80 wt.% TREO, and 0.10 m of 0.36 wt.% TREO from 171.31 m to 171.41 m.
These findings validate Appia's geological hypotheses and enhance the potential for further discoveries. The Loranger property's strategic location near the Athabasca Basin, known for its uranium deposits, underscores its significance. Appia plans to conduct follow-up drilling to explore these promising targets further.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) has announced significant uranium and rare earth element (REE) discoveries at its Eastside property in Saskatchewan, Canada. Key findings include:
- Uranium mineralization: Grab samples with U3O8 concentrations up to 2,523.06 ppm (0.25 wt%).
- REE mineralization: A channel sample showing 1.00 meters of TREO at 0.14 wt%.
- 20 additional samples with uranium content between 0.01 wt% and 0.25 wt%.
The Eastside property's strategic location near the uranium-rich Athabasca Basin enhances its potential. Appia plans further exploration to delineate the extent of mineralization and assess the property's development potential.
