[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2021) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) (FSE: A0I.F) (FSE: A0I.MU) (FSE: A0I.BE) (the \"Company\" or \"Appia\") is pleased to announce new assays results from its 2021 field program at its 100%-owned Alces Lake high-grade rare earth elements (\"REE\") and gallium property, Athabasca Basin area, northern Saskatchewan. Appia has received assays from grab samples and channel samples. ALCES LAKE HIGH-GRADE REE PROJECT Assay results from the Wilson North and Richards drill holes were announced on November 19, 2021 and confirmed some of the highest recorded rare earth grades discovered to date on the Alces Lake property. In addition, high-grade REE mineralization has now been identified throughout an area covering approximately 27 km2 of the Alces Lake block. Assay results have been returned from channel and grab samples and are reported in wt % TREO (total rare earth oxides) (see Tables 1 & 2). Highlights include: High grade REE mineralization has now been identified over an estimated 27 square kilometre area. Channel sample of 14.71 wt % TREO from Sweet Chili Heat and 11.94 wt % TREO from Diablo. 10.35 wt % TREO returned from grab sample at Zesty. 7.86 wt % TREO returned from grab sample along the Oldman River trend. New discovery of REEs with 2.27 wt % TREO grab sample from \"Train Domain\". Elevated Gallium values have been returned for all samples enriched in TREO. Wilson-Richard-Charles-Bell (WRCB) Area Alces Lake Field Assays Appia conducted an extensive field geology and sampling program earlier in 2021, sampling previously untested occurrences of REE across the claims block. Multiple radiometric anomalies were identified with the full-property aerial geophysics conducted this year and confirmed as REE occurrences with field work. The association between REEs and radioactivity is due to the thorium content of the REE host mineral, monazite. High-grade REE mineralization has now been identified throughout an area covering approximately 27 square kilometres. Elevated gallium (Ga2O3) values have also been identified throughout the area, as it is hosted within the same mineralogy as REEs (monazite). Table 1 provides a summary of channel sample composites and Table 2 provides a summary of all channel sample results (95 samples ...
