Appia Successfully Concludes Diamond Drilling Program Intercepting Potential Highgrade Mineralization on all three Drillholes in Goias, Brazil
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium has completed its diamond drilling program in the SouthWest Extension Zone of Target IV at its Ionic Adsorption Clay project in Goias, Brazil. The program consisted of three drillholes totaling 450.7 metres, successfully intercepting carbonatitic breccia and highly altered hardrock zones. Previous drilling in the area revealed high-grade clay material with up to 9.3% Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) and averaging over 2.7% TREO over 0-24 metres. The company anticipates similar grades in the hardrock mineralization at depth. The preliminary geological interpretation shows Hydrothermalized Carbonatitic Breccia remaining open at depth, with assay results expected in approximately 30 days.
Appia Rare Earths & Uranium ha completato il suo programma di perforazione a diamante nella Zona di Estensione Sud-Ovest dell'Obiettivo IV presso il progetto di Argilla Adsorbita Ionica a Goias, Brasile. Il programma ha consistito in tre perforazioni per un totale di 450,7 metri, intercettando con successo breccia carbonatitica e zone di roccia dura altamente alterate. Le perforazioni precedenti nell'area hanno rivelato materiale di argilla di alta qualità con fino al 9,3% di Ossidi Totali di Terre Rare (TREO) e con una media superiore al 2,7% di TREO su 0-24 metri. L'azienda si aspetta gradi simili nella mineralizzazione della roccia dura in profondità. L'interpretazione geologica preliminare mostra che la Breccia Carbonatitica Idrotermale rimane aperta in profondità, con i risultati delle analisi attesi tra circa 30 giorni.

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium는 브라질 고이아스에 있는 이온 흡착 점토 프로젝트의 목표 IV의 남서 확장 구역에서 다이아몬드 시추 프로그램을 완료했습니다. 이 프로그램은 총 450.7 미터의 세 개의 시추 구멍으로 구성되어 있으며, 성공적으로 카보나타이트 브레치아와 고도로 변화된 경암 구역을 intercept했습니다. 이 지역의 이전 시추에서는 최대 9.3% 총 희토류 산화물 (TREO)를 포함하는 고품질 점토 물질이 드러났고, 0-24 미터에서 평균 2.7% TREO를 기록했습니다. 회사는 깊이에서 경암 광물화에서도 유사한 등급을 예상하고 있습니다. 초기 지질 해석에서는 수열 카르보나타이트 브레치아가 깊이에서 열려 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 분석 결과는 약 30일 이내에 나올 것으로 예상됩니다.

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium hat sein Diamantbohrprogramm in der Südwest-Extension-Zone von Ziel IV bei seinem Ionischen Adsorptions-Tonprojekt in Goias, Brasilien, abgeschlossen. Das Programm bestand aus drei Bohrlöchern mit insgesamt 450,7 Metern, die erfolgreich carbonatitische Brekzie und hochgradig veränderte Hartgesteinszonen durchdrangen. Frühere Bohrungen in dem Gebiet zeigten hochwertiges Tonsmaterial mit bis zu 9,3% Gesamtanteil seltener Erden (TREO) und einem durchschnittlichen Wert von über 2,7% TREO über 0-24 Meter. Das Unternehmen erwartet ähnliche Gehalte in der Hartgesteinsmineralisierung in größerer Tiefe. Die vorläufige geologische Interpretation zeigt, dass die hydrothermalisierte carbonatitische Brekzie in der Tiefe offen bleibt, wobei die Analyseergebnisse in etwa 30 Tagen erwartet werden.
- Previous drilling revealed high-grade mineralization with up to 9.3% TREO
- Average TREO content of 2.7% over 0-24 meters in previous drilling
- Successfully intercepted target mineralization in all three drillholes
- Mineralization remains open at depth, indicating expansion potential
- None.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2024) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) (FWB: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the "Company" or "Appia") is excited to announce the conclusion of its diamond drilling program in the SouthWest Extension Zone of Target IV at its Ionic Adsorption Clay (IAC) project in the State of Goias, Brazil. The three drillholes (see Map 1) were completed for a total of 450.7 metres, and successfully intercepted the anticipated carbonatitic breccia and highly altered hardrock zones in all three drillholes, indicating the continuation of the highgrade mineralization first identified in previously completed reverse circulation drill holes (See press releases dated October 31st, 2023 and January 16, 2024).
Highlights:
- Hole PCH-DDH-002, total depth of 150.0metres - Regolith fom 0 to 37.4m, Breccia from 37.4 to EOH
- Hole PCH-DDH-003, total depth of 147.7metres - Regolith fom 0 to 49.9 m, Breccia from 49.9 to EOH
- Hole PCH-DDH-004, total depth of 153.0metres - Regolith fom 0 to 45.0 m, Breccia from 45.0 to EOH
- The three drillholes presented substantial hydrothermal alteration and local sulfidation within the breccia.
Stephen Burega, President, stated, "The program successfully identified carbonatitic breccia below the previously reported highgrade clay material with up to 92,758 ppm or
