Appia releases 43-101 on their PCH Project
Lots of very impressive progress being made over at Appia Resources recently -including filing an NI 43-101 technical report on their PCH Project in Brazil. Compared to most companies this is quite an amazing accomplishment because they only acquired the PCH Project last year at PDAC 2023!
The short version of this report is:
6.6 Million Tonnes Indicated Grading 2,513 ppm TREO
46.2 Million Tonnes Inferred Grading 2,888 ppm TREO.
The discovery has been described as having ‘astonishing’ grades.
What is truly inspiring about this NI 43-101 in addition to the speed at which they have been accomplishing exploration, is the fact that they have only explored just over 1% of the property they have under their claims located in the state of Goias Brazil. The maiden resource was generated through only 2 zones known as Target IV and Buriti Zones. The bluesky upside with so much prospective area left to explore is obviously of very high potential.

Appia’s PCH Project-Goias, Brazil
Additional news: Appia has also just announced the hiring of a market maker company in order to monitor and assist in maintaining an orderly market in their shares. The company is called Generation IACP and is based in Toronto.
Press Release:
More additional news: Another significant development is the addition of a new VP of Exploration for Brazil operations, Mr Andre Costa. ” Mr. Costa will oversee the ongoing development of the Company’s PCH Ionic Adsorption Clay project located in Goias, Brazil.” As a consultant to a company called G21 Mr Costa has overseen various projects in Brazil including work for TSX/V listed Aclara Resources also in Goias state, managed exploration work for Codelco, exploratory and drilling work for Lithium Ionic, exploration work for Largo as well as Eco Mining and Bemisa. Therefore he has worked on many projects in various parts of Brazil and has extensive experience in the exploration field, making him an ideal candidate at an ideal stage of Appias development in that country. In total Mr. Costa has 29 years of experience including 9 years in Canada with a stint as Resident Geologist at the Saskatchewan Geological Survey. Saskatchewan happens to be where Appias other rare earth exploration project Alces lake is located, so very good synergy there as well.
APPIA ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF MR. ANDRE COSTA AS NEW VP EXPLORATION FOR BRAZIL OPERATIONS
All in all some great things happening at Appia and with the current state of the junior exploration markets still undervalued and under appreciated, there seems to be plenty of room for upside in their market valuation.

Appia has been very busy with 2 drill campaigns happening simultaneously currently in 2023.
ALCES LAKE SASKATCHEWAN:
One is the Alces Lake Rare Earth Project located in northwest Saskatchewan. This is the 2nd year of serious diamond drill exploration on the property and the company is about to start releasing results from the summer/fall drilling.
PCH PROJECT BRAZIL:
A very fortuitous gain of an ionic clay PCH Rare Earth Project in Goias Brazil has also been keeping the company busy drilling. Assay results are just beginning to be delivered from this property also and they are looking excellent. They have gone deeper and have been rewarded, and also plan to explore much more of the property.
Exciting times for the company and management who have been working diligently on developing rare earth prospects for some years now. Congratulations that the hard work is paying off.

Mines and Money 2023
The annual Mines and Money conference could be considered the next significant mining event upcoming up in 2023. It is happening in London England as per usual, this year it takes place from Nov 28th to Nov 30th. Mines and Money/London website link
-Observing this conference can be a good way to “take the temperature” of the junior mining exploration. industry, especially as a precursor to the annual PDAC condference which happens early every March in Toronto.
-Keeping an eye on awards given out at Mines and Money, plus who is getting financed and which sectors are popular can give investors some valuable clues as to where the overall industry is heading.
We will be watching Mines and Money 2023 with a keen eye this year!
Appia acquires Brazilian Ionic Clay Property
There has been a lot of excitement at Appia Rare Earths and Uranium Corp. since PDAC 2023!
The acquisition of a Brazilian ionic clay property has caused a lot of eyebrows to be raised because a property like this doesn’t come around every day. It was apparently pursued by various highly interested companies but Appia came out with the prize.
The Cachoeirinha Project (the “PCH Project”) is located in the Tocantins Structural Province of the Brasília Fold Belt, Goiás State, Brazil. Here is the press release announcing the acquisition plus initial assay results:

PDAC 2022 ‘Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada’ 90th Year
Exciting News: The PDAC is back in person in 2022, for its 90th birthday!
The date of the show will now be held from June 13-15 in person and June 28-29 online.
This is a change from the usual spot in early March, probably due to ongoing pandemic considerations.
After 2 years of being hosted online only due to the Covid pandemic it appears 2022 will see the world renowned Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada back in all it’s glory.
Also looks like this years event will be busy as we see this announcement on the official website:
“Please note that exhibit space for the in person portion of the Trade Show is sold out. See below for more details.” Prior years regularly have seen well over 30,000 attendees so we expect the event to be very busy this year given that the pandemic measures continue to normalize.
You can register by clicking this link: PDAC 2022 Registration
-The location for exhibits and trade show events at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in downtown Toronto at 222 Bremner Boulevard, Toronto Canada.
As usual we expect to see various company parties and evening events hosted at other venues in the surrounding downtown area as in pre covid years. There is usually a list of events posted in the lobby of the Royal York Hotel and
flyers posted and so on in the convention area and at the exhibit booths.
2022 promises to be a very exciting year as there has been a lot of important discoveries and the term ‘commodities supercycle’ has become popular lately, as well as the need for certain metals to support national defense and various industries that rely on a secure supply of metals for their products. This has lent a more than usual sense of urgency to the important task of finding new mineral resources.
Hope to see you there!

API:CSE-Appia Announces Assay Results, Additional Land Acquisitions, A New Discovery And Drilling Update
Sept 01, 2021
Appia Energy Corp. continues to move full speed ahead with their 2021 exploration program at Alces Lake, Saskatchewan. Having recently added critical metals expert Jack Lifton to the Advisory Board, and with 13 geologists working at the project plus a winter camp set-up there is a lot of excitement in the air!
Recent results have added to the energy surrounding the Alces Lake rare earth/critical rare earth prospect with additional land being acquired.
“Acquisition of a further 11,055.4 hectares (27,318.5 acres) of land contiguous to the claim block at
Alces Lake, increasing the 100% owned landholdings to 35,682.2 hectares (88,,172.7 acres),
doubling the landholdings from the start of the 2021 exploration season.”
NEW ZONE DISCOVERED:
The Sweet Chili Heat zone (“SCH”), among others (Figure 2), is a new discovery that was found as a direct
result of the new airborne survey. As a result of the analysis of the geophysical data and geologic work done at the location, the SCH zone has been prioritized for drilling in the near future. Monazite mineralization has an exposed strike length of ~25m, with elevated radiation readings continuing under ground cover for an additional ~30m. Observed mineralization indicates that the SCH is a highly prospective target.”
DIAMOND DRILLING
With two drills active on the property, there are so many occurrences to explore that the diamond drilling program is being extended from 5000 meters to a possible total of 10,000 meters. As was mentioned earlier there is now a winter camp set-up and earlier grab samples have been assayed by the SRC (Saskatchewan Research Council) laboratories. With all this activity and focus we can expect a steady flow of news from Appia moving forward.
We will continue to follow this company on their exciting journey to become a rare earth/critical rare earth producer right here in our own Canadian back yard, one of the highest grade discoveries in the world.
