Appia Mobilizes for Drilling Campaign to Test Promising Drill Targets Obtained from Recently Completed Airborne Gravity Gradiometer Survey over Alces Lake Project

Conducted by Xcalibur Multiphysics, the Falcon AGG Survey spanned over 1,053-line kilometers with 100-meter line spacing, focusing primarily on the Alces Lake regional fold and the northern portion of the property's NW-SE regional shear zone. These areas host several significant REE and gallium occurrences at surface, including the high-grade WRCB zone. The survey has provided critical, high-resolution subsurface imaging, revealing multiple new targets with similar characteristics to known mineralized zones at depths ranging from 200 to 1,000 meters.

Stephen Burega, President of Appia, commented: "The results from the AGG survey are significant and highlight several high-potential targets that align closely with our geological models and previous discoveries at Alces Lake. We are now preparing to initiate a follow-up diamond drilling program to explore these targets at depth, with the first drilling operation set to commence in the coming weeks."

He continued: "This strategic move into diamond drilling marks a significant progression in Appia's exploration efforts at Alces Lake, aiming to delineate a source at depth for the high-grade REE and gallium occurrences that are commonly discovered at surface. Appia is confident that this next phase of exploration will provide valuable insights into the potential for new discoveries and the expansion of the project's known mineral resources."
