Appia Announces the Discovery of Several High-Priority REE Drill Targets from Recent Ground Gravity Survey

Executive Summary

• Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. released results of its 2025 ground gravity survey at the Alces Lake project, identifying several high‑priority REE‑prospective drill targets (Targets 1, 5, 6, 7).
• The new gravity data refine and confirm anomalies previously seen in the 2024 airborne survey, increasing confidence for a planned 2026 diamond drilling program.
• Targets are interpreted to intersect geological settings analogous to known high‑grade zones (WRCB and Magnet Ridge), suggesting potential for near‑surface REE mineralization down to ~600 m depth.

Key Details

• Survey Scope: High‑resolution ground gravity measurements providing a 3‑D view from surface to 600 m depth across the Alces Lake property in northern Saskatchewan.
• Target Prioritisation: Targets 1, 5, 6, and 7 designated as first‑order priorities for the 2026 drill program; additional zones ranked as second‑priority for later phases.
• Geophysical Interpretation: All four priority targets exhibit a pronounced gravity gradient transition (low to high density) similar to that over known REE‑bearing zones (WRCB, Magnet Ridge), interpreted to host interlayered pelitic‑to‑granitic gneiss with amphibolite—rock types that commonly contain REE‑rich abyssal pegmatites.
• Drill Planning: Proposed drill holes for each priority target are outlined (e.g., AL‑2025‑10, 10a for Target 1; AL‑2025‑006/006a for Target 5; etc.), with depths targeting mineralization from surface to ~600 m.
• CEO Comment: Tom Drivas emphasized that the refined gravity data “tighten our targeting” and enable advancement of the 2026 drill program with greater confidence, highlighting similarity to high‑grade zones and potential for new REE discoveries.
• Project Context: Alces Lake hosts some of the world’s highest‑grade total and critical rare earth element (CREO) mineralization, including monazite occurrences open at depth and along strike; the property is 100 % owned by Appia (35,682 ha).
• Technical Review: Technical content approved by Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, P.Geo., Qualified Person under NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“Building on the AGG survey, the recent ground gravity program tightened our targeting and outlined several REE‑prospective areas. With this added resolution, we can advance our upcoming 2026 drill program with greater confidence; the new targets share similarities with the high‑grade WRCB and large Magnet Ridge along the same trend, supporting the potential for discovering new REE mineralization from surface to 600 m depths.” – Tom Drivas, CEO & Director
