Description
Appia Rare Earths and Uranium Corp CEO Tom Drivas joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company’s expanding rare earth and uranium portfolio across Canada and Brazil, highlighting an active drill season and strong early results from multiple projects.
Drivas outlined Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp’s diversified asset base, which includes rare earth projects in Saskatchewan and Brazil, alongside uranium exploration in Ontario and near the Athabasca Basin. He described the company as unique due to its combination of rare earth and uranium exposure across multiple jurisdictions, with mineralization hosted in rocks that can be extracted using known technologies.
At the Alces Lake project in northern Saskatchewan, the company has completed extensive work including airborne and ground gravity surveys, drilling, and 3D modelling. Appia has identified nine new drill targets and plans to begin drilling in June, with the camp and drill already in place.
In Brazil, the company is advancing what is now referred to as the PCH project under a partnership arrangement. The project hosts both ionic clay mineralization near surface and hard rock rare earth mineralization at depth. Drivas highlighted recent results, stating: “We just finished 26 new holes on the hard rock… this time we went down to 300 metres and it’s mineralized from top to bottom.” He added that some intervals returned grades “up to 14% rare earths.”
Appia plans to deliver a NI 43-101 compliant resource and is targeting approximately 950 drill holes on the ionic clay portion, alongside work toward a preliminary feasibility study. With nine rigs currently active and infrastructure located just 15 minutes from a mining town, the company expects steady news flow in the coming months.
