Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp (CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) has announced exceptional overlimit assay results from its diamond drilling program at the PCH project in Goias, Brazil. The program revealed significant Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO), Niobium Oxide, and Phosphate Oxide mineralization.

Key drilling results include:

  • PCH-DDH-002: 150m@ 1.34% TREO, 0.13% Nb2O5 from surface
  • PCH-DDH-003: 147m@ 2.00% TREO, 0.23% Nb2O5 from surface
  • PCH-DDH-004: 153m@ 1.32% TREO, 0.20% Nb2O5 from surface

The results show a 19% increase in average TREO grades and 23% increase in average Niobium grades compared to original values. The PCH project features two distinct mineralization styles: Ionic Adsorption Clay (IAC) and hard rock carbonatitic breccia. All three drill holes ended in mineralization, suggesting potential for extension.

Drilling Confirms the Carbonatitic Breccia High Grade Zone Mineralization

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 10, 2025) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the "Company" or "Appia") is excited to announce the geochemical overlimit assay results of its diamond drilling program on the high grade carbonatitic breccia located on the PCH project in the State of Goias, Brazil. The three drillholes (see Map 1) intercepted substantial Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO), Niobium Oxide (Nb2O5) and Phosphate Oxide (P2O5) from the brecciated carbonatite intrusion identified in the Southwest Extension Zone of Target IV. A total 97 intervals from the total of 516 presented samples resulted with 'overlimit readings' for La, and/or Ce, and/or Pr, and/or Nd, and/or Nb. The full set of results are available through this LINK. The PCH project hosts two distinct styles of mineralization - Ionic Adsorption Clay (IAC) as well as hard rock carbonatitic breccia. Recent results from the IAC zone can be found by clicking here LINK.

Tom Drivas, CEO stated: "Today's re-assayed overlimit results further support the presence of an extraordinary, high-grade mineralization found within a carbonatitic breccia zone located at the Southwest Extension Zone of Target IV at the PCH project, and this is in addition to significant IAC rare earths mineralization with good TREO results and excellent desorption and kinetics. The original results reported on January 22nd, 2025 highlighted that the high grade rare earths mineralization was from top to bottom of each of the three drillholes, and today's results increase the average TREO grades by 19% and the average Niobium grades by 23% from the original values reported. (Click Here for Jan. 22, 2025 Press Release). The results from the diamond drill holes are exceptional and would rank 2nd, 3rd, and 4th on the list of the best intercepts of the past year when compared to the recently reported results by MinerDeck, which highlighted the top REE intercepts of 2024.

QAQC

Drillholes are inclined and reported intervals are apparent thickness. The material produced from the diamond drillholes are sampled at one metre intervals splitting the core in half, resulting in average sample sizes of 2-3 kg. The other Half core is kept in storage for further tests. The original core was logged and photographed.

The bagged samples are sent to the ALS laboratory in Goiânia, Goias for initial preparation and sent to Lima Peru for final analysis. In addition to the internal QA/QC of the ALS Lab, Appia includes its own control samples in each batch of samples sent to the laboratory.

Quality control samples, such as blanks, duplicates, and standards (CRM) were inserted into each analytical run. For all analysis methods, the minimum number of QA/QC samples is three standards, one duplicate and one blank, introduced in each batch. Several batches were used to comprises the full-length hole. The rigorous procedures are implemented during the sample collection, preparation, and analytical stages to insure the robustness and reliability of the analytical results.

All analytical results reported herein have passed internal QA/QC review and compilation. All assay results of DDH samples were provided by ALS, a Certified Laboratory, which performed their measure of the concentration of rare earth elements (REE) with the ME-MS81 analytical method that uses lithium borate fusion prior acid dissolution and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Major Element Oxides were done using ME_ICP06 analytical method using lithium borate fusion and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Au, Pt and Pd samples were analysed using the fire assay method PGM-ICP27. Desorption analysis with ME-MS19 analytical method was executed for the initial 35 metres of each drillholes with samples being leached with a solution of Ammonium Sulphate at 0.5 molar, pH 4, room temperature for 20 minutes. The leached solution content was analysed using ICP-AES/ICP-MS. (See News Release dated January 22nd, 2025 for details of these results.)
