Executive Summary

  • Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. has initiated a high-resolution ground gravity survey at its Alces Lake rare-earth elements (REE) project in Northern Saskatchewan, commencing on September 2, 2025.
  • The survey aims to refine high-priority drill targets identified during the 2024 airborne gravity gradiometer (AGG) survey, specifically targeting subsurface anomalies believed to represent monazite-hosted REE mineralization.
  • This step is designed to optimize drill collar placement and depth projections for upcoming diamond drilling campaigns by providing increased resolution and accuracy over strong gravity anomalies.

Key Details

  • Survey Type: High-resolution ground gravity survey.
  • Contractor: MWH Geo-Surveys Ltd.
  • Location: Alces Lake REE project, Northern Saskatchewan.
  • Objective: To refine priority gravity anomalies from the 2024 AGG survey (conducted by Xcalibur Smart Mapping) using 3-D inversion modeling to identify potential monazite-hosted REE mineralization sources.
  • Strategic Goal: Maximize efficiency and precision of planned diamond drilling campaigns by better constraining the shape, depth, and density contrast of target areas.
  • Target Areas: The survey covers multiple gravity features along the regional fold and structural corridor hosting surface REE showings, including:
    • WRCB Zone: Previously reported high-grade mineralization, including 16.1 wt% TREO over 15.6 metres, including 49.17 wt% TREO over 3.7 metres in drill core (referenced from 2019 press release).
    • Magnet Ridge Zone: Mineralization noted as open at depth.
  • Technical Oversight: Reviewed and approved by Dr. Irvine Annesley, PGeo, senior exploration consultant and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Notable Quotes

  • "This ground gravity survey is an essential step in our ongoing work to systematically refine and prioritize our exploration drill targets at depth. By applying this high-resolution ground technique over the strongest airborne gravity gradiometer anomalies, we aim to maximize the efficiency and precision of our planned drill campaign." — Tom Drivas, President of Appia
