Appia Receives 5-Year Exploration Permit for the Otherside Uranium Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 2, 2025) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the " Company" or "Appia") is pleased to announce that it has received a 5-year exploration permit from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for its wholly owned Otherside uranium property (Figure 1), located in the prolific Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. The permit, valid until April 30, 2030, authorizes Appia to conduct a range of mineral exploration activities, including diamond drilling, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, and the establishment of a temporary work camp. The permitted work area is centered approximately 34 km south of the community of Fond du Lac and covers multiple mineral dispositions where Appia previously identified high-priority drill targets for uranium exploration. "This long-term permit is a critical milestone that allows us to move forward with confidence and execute our exploration strategy at the Otherside uranium property for the next 5 years," commented Tom Drivas, CEO and Director of Appia. "With approvals now in place, we are well-positioned to mobilize and begin ground-based exploration efforts." Upcoming 2025 Exploration Plans As noted in our February 14, 2025 press release, Appia's 2025 exploration program at the Otherside uranium property will focus on refining and drill testing high-potential targets identified through the 2024 Airborne Gravity Gradiometer and Magnetometer Survey. The identified targets are characterized by gravity lows, magnetic lows, and a 49 km-long electromagnetic (EM) conductor featuring variable offsets and bends-key signatures commonly associated with uranium mineralization (Figure 2). Notably, this anomalous EM conductor displays structural and geophysical characteristics comparable to NexGen Energy's" Arrow" (Figure 3) and Paladin Energy's" Triple R" (Figure 4) uranium deposits. Planned activities will commence with advanced 3D processing to enhance the 2024 airborne gravity survey results, followed by high-resolution ground geophysical surveys to further define key anomalies, culminating in a targeted drill program designed to evaluate the property's uranium discovery potential. The technical content of this news release was reviewed and approved by Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, Senior Technical Advisor for Appia, and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
