Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. announced the expansion of its auger drilling exploration program aimed at the identification of new Ionic Adsorption Clay (IAC) targets on the remaining claims to the east and north of Target IV and Buriti Zones, on its 40,963.18 ha. PCH project within the Goiás State of Brazil.

The geological environment of the remaining tenements is equivalent to the one characterized on Target IV, and it will be tested during the Phase II auger drilling program. The selection of the new target zones to be tested was based on three primary factors including: A similar geological formation which the Company has identified as the Iporá Granite; Similar weathering profile development with well-developed transition zone between Pedolith and Saprolites where the Ionic Adsorption Clays occur; and Positive showing of the related gammaspectometric geophysical response.
