Appia Energy Corp. will continue diamond drilling on the Loranger property as soon as winter ground conditions are favourable. Two to three high-priority areas, as defined by coincident electromagnetic and gravity geophysical features, remain unexplored and will be targeted in this program. In the 2017 diamond drilling program, 6 of 7 drill holes intersected uranium mineralization with grades greater than 0.01 wt% U3O8 over broad intervals. Permits are in-hand and a drill is on-site for the current exploration program. The follow-up exploration on Appia's Alces Lake rare earth element ("REE") property, 29 km north of the Athabascan Basin, is scheduled to start in May. Additional surface exploration including overburden stripping and trenching in the Wilson and Ivan zones, will be followed-up with diamond drilling. The company anticipates producing a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate by year-end. The Alces Lake property hosts some of highest-grade REE mineralization in the world, hosted within five broad surface showings that remain open in all directions. A permit for the proposed exploration activities is pending.
