Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 2025) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the "Company" or "Appia") is pleased to announce they have begun a high-resolution ground gravity survey on September 2nd, 2025, at the Company's Alces Lake Rare Earth Elements (REE) project in northern Saskatchewan. This geophysical program marks the next step in Appia's phased exploration strategy, building upon the results of the 2024 Airborne Gravity Gradiometer (AGG) survey to refine multiple high-priority drill targets at depth.
MWH Geo-Surveys Ltd. is currently conducting this high-resolution ground gravity survey, which aims to refine a series of priority gravity anomalies originally identified during the 2024 Airborne Gravity Gradiometer (AGG) survey conducted by Xcalibur Smart Mapping. These large-scale subsurface features were processed and interpreted through 3D inversion modeling and are believed to represent potential sources of monazite-hosted REE mineralization. The ground-based survey will provide increased resolution and accuracy to assist in drill targeting for Appia's upcoming diamond drilling campaigns.
Tom Drivas, President of Appia, commented:
"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."
The high-resolution ground gravity survey at the Alces Lake Rare Earth Element (REE) property is covering multiple gravity features (Figures 1 and 2) distributed along the regional fold and structural corridor that hosts surface REE showings such as the high-grade WRCB zone, displaying such as 16.1 wt% TREO over 15.6 m including 49.17% wt% TREO over 3.7m in drill core (refer to the 2019 press release here), and large Magnet Ridge zone, with mineralization open at depth. The program is designed to better constrain the shape, depth, and density contrast of each target area, enabling Appia's technical team to optimize drill collar placement and depth projections for their upcoming diamond drilling campaign.
