[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 24, 2023) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQX: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (FSE: A0I0.F) (FSE: A0I0.MU) (FSE: A0I0.BE) (the \"Company\" or \"Appia\") Appia is pleased to provide an update regarding its comprehensive exploration activities currently underway in Goias State, Brazil. By employing a strategic combination of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling, extensive auger sampling, and cutting-edge LiDAR surveying, the Company has made significant progress in uncovering the potential of this highly promising deposit. SUMMARY Appia's exploration team today has successfully drilled 65 RC and 45 Auger holes to date reaching a combined depth of 1120 meters. Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program includes 300 holes at an average depth of +/- 12 metres. The Company has completed an extensive airborne LiDAR survey covering 1,700 hectares across the core Target IV project area producing a highly detailed topographic map to assist with further delineation of exploration targets. Auger drilling will be used to test new areas for potential extension zones southwest of the core Target IV zone. Data collected during this work campaign will be used to develop an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) on Target IV. The Company will also be exploring initial metallurgy and minerology over the coming months to ascertain the viability of separation using traditional well-known processes for these environments. \"Appia's exploration team has successfully concluded 65 RC holes to date reaching a combined depth of 788 meters with an average depth of 11.9 meters per hole,\" stated Carlos Bastos, Senior Geologist and Qualified Person in Brazil. He continued, \"Sample logging and interpretation is done at one metre intervals with an ionic adsorbtion clay horizon observed at depths ranging from 2 to 27 meters. This horizon is primarily situated within the shallow range of 2-6 meters and exhibits varying widths.\" In addition to the Company's RC drilling campaign, the Company is pleased to report substantial advancements have been made through extensive auger drilling to further delineate extension zones at the Target IV project area. To date, a total of 45 holes have been successfully completed. Each of these holes has been strategically positioned to provide a comprehensive understa...
