Company Description
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (OTCQB: APAAF) is a publicly traded Canadian company focused on the rare earth element (REE) and uranium sectors. The company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol API and also trades on multiple European markets. According to its public disclosures, Appia is active in both Brazil and Canada, with a portfolio of exploration-stage projects targeting critical rare earth elements, gallium and high-grade uranium.
Appia reports that it holds a 25% interest in the Ultra Hardrock and Ultra IAC Projects, which together cover 42,932.24 hectares in the state of Goiás, Brazil. These projects are associated with carbonatitic and ionic adsorption clay rare earth mineralization, and Ultra Rare Earth Inc. is described as the operator of the PCH/Ultra project. Earlier disclosures also state that Appia holds the right to acquire up to a 70% interest in the PCH Ionic Adsorption Clay Project in Goiás State, Brazil, reflecting the company’s focus on this rare earth district.
In Canada, Appia describes a multi-project exploration focus. The company states that it is working to delineate high-grade critical rare earth elements and gallium on its Alces Lake property in northern Saskatchewan. Appia also reports that it is exploring for high-grade uranium in the prolific Athabasca Basin on its Otherside, Loranger, North Wollaston, and Eastside properties. The company notes that it holds the surface rights to exploration for 94,982.39 hectares (234,706.59 acres) in Saskatchewan.
Appia further discloses that it has a 100% interest in 13,008 hectares (32,143 acres) in the Elliot Lake Camp, Ontario, where it reports rare earth elements and uranium deposits over five mineralized zones. Across these properties, Appia’s stated activities include exploration, drilling, geophysical surveys and geochemical work aimed at advancing its rare earth and uranium targets.
The company’s public communications emphasize an exploration-driven business model in the mineral exploration and development space, rather than production. Appia highlights ongoing and planned programs such as diamond drilling on the Ultra Hardrock carbonatite target in Brazil, auger drilling on the Ultra IAC target, and exploration campaigns at Alces Lake and Otherside. These programs are described as being designed to refine targets, test mineralized zones, and expand the understanding of rare earth and uranium-bearing systems on its properties.
Appia’s disclosures also reference partnerships and funding arrangements. For example, the company notes a binding term sheet under which Ultra Rare Earth Inc. agreed to acquire an interest in Appia’s Brazilian subsidiary that holds the PCH Project, along with a commitment to fund exploration and to participate in a private placement. In separate communications, Appia notes that Ultra is funding a multi-million-dollar exploration program on the PCH/Ultra project toward advanced study stages.
In Saskatchewan, Appia reports that it has received a multi-year exploration permit for the Otherside uranium property in the Athabasca Basin. The permit allows activities such as diamond drilling, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, and establishment of a temporary work camp. Appia’s public statements describe exploration plans that include processing airborne gravity and magnetometer survey data, conducting ground geophysical surveys, and undertaking targeted drilling to evaluate uranium discovery potential.
At Alces Lake, Appia describes exploration work that includes airborne gravity gradiometer (AGG) surveys, advanced 3D processing of geophysical data, Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil sampling and ground gravity surveys. These activities are presented as tools to identify and prioritize drill targets associated with REE mineralization. The company’s known showings at Alces Lake, such as the WRCB and Magnet Ridge zones, are referenced as models for calibrating exploration tools, although detailed resource figures are not provided in the supplied information.
Appia’s Elliot Lake project in Ontario is described as hosting rare earth elements and uranium across multiple mineralized zones within a historic mining camp. The company indicates that this project is part of its broader portfolio of REE and uranium assets, alongside its Saskatchewan and Brazilian properties. Across all regions, the company’s disclosures focus on exploration, target delineation, and advancing projects through technical work and partnerships.
Appia also communicates with the market through conference presentations and media appearances. The company has noted participation in events such as the John Tumazos Very Independent Research Virtual Conference, where it presents updates on exploration activities and project status. Interviews with the company’s leadership on investor-focused platforms have highlighted its multi-jurisdictional exploration strategy across rare earth and uranium projects.
Overall, Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. presents itself, in its public releases, as a Canadian mineral exploration company with a portfolio of rare earth and uranium projects in Brazil, Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, and Ontario’s Elliot Lake Camp. Its stated focus is on advancing these exploration assets through drilling, geophysical and geochemical programs, and strategic partnerships.
