Appia completes Spartan MT survey at Otherside

Executive Summary

• Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. has completed its Q1 2026 Spartan magnetotelluric (MT) survey on its 100%-owned Otherside uranium property in Saskatchewan's Athabasca basin.
• Preliminary data reveals encouraging geophysical signatures and structural features along a ~49 km EM conductor trend, closely resembling those found at NexGen Energy's Arrow deposit and other high-grade Athabasca basin uranium systems.
• The company is awaiting final processing and interpretation from Quantec to integrate the MT data with historical gravity/magnetic surveys, ultimately refining priority drill targets for its planned 2026–2027 program.

Key Details

• Survey Completion: Q1 2026 Spartan magnetotelluric (MT) survey successfully completed.
• Property Location & Size: 10,441.88-hectare Otherside uranium property, located approximately 28 km south of Fond du Lac, Saskatchewan.
• Target Trend: ~49 km long, faulted and sheared electromagnetic (EM) conductor trend identified as prospective for Athabasca-style uranium mineralization.
• Preliminary Findings: Early MT data and field observations highlight multiple structural geochemical traps; subsurface architecture shows strong parallels to NexGen Energy's Arrow deposit.
• Survey Objectives: Map subsurface resistivity, identify key faults/shear zones, conductive zones, and resistivity contrasts to delineate structural pathways and alteration zones associated with uranium deposition.
• Data Integration & Modeling: MT results will be combined with Appia's 2024 airborne gravity and magnetic survey data, plus historical datasets, to build a 3-D geophysical-geological model and strengthen drill target confidence.
• Next Steps: Awaiting Quantec's final processing and interpretation deliverables to finalize and prioritize drill targets for the 2026–2027 drill program.
• Technical Oversight: Technical content reviewed and approved by Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, PGeo, senior exploration consultant and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

Notable Quotes

• Tom Drivas, President: "The completion of this MT survey is an important milestone for our Otherside uranium property. Early indications are very encouraging, with geophysical signatures comparable to NexGen's Arrow and other Athabasca basin deposits. We look forward to final results to refine drill targets for 2026 to 2027."
