APPIA ANNOUNCES THAT DR. JOHN BELHUMEUR, PH.D. HAS BEEN APPOINTED AS SENIOR ADVISOR TO THE COMPANY REGARDING FIRST NATIONS, METIS, AND GOVERNMENT RELATIONS

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. has appointed Dr. John Belhumeur senior adviser regarding first nations, Metis and government relations, effective Sept. 15, 2022, as the company advances its exploration program on its 100-per-cent-owned Alces Lake high-grade rare earth elements and gallium property, Athabasca basin area, Northern Saskatchewan.

Dr. Belhumeur has served as an adviser and consultant to the company since March, 2021. Dr. Belhumeur has spent over 30 years as a consultant for aboriginal affairs with regard to project development in the resource industry, co-ordinating between aboriginal citizens, resource companies and various levels of government. Dr. Belhumeur has worked on many projects, from the EIA (environmental impact assessment) process through to the construction and operation phases of a mine.

Coming from St. Lazare and Pine Creek, Man., Dr. Belhumeur's Cree/Ojibwa ancestry gives him first-hand knowledge of the indigenous experience, lending a deeper understanding of issues facing aboriginal people today, in society and in the workplace. Dr. Belhumeur believes in protecting the environment first and foremost, using traditional, ecological knowledge and sustainable mineral development.

Dr. Belhumeur is the founder and publisher of The Aboriginal Miner, in partnership with The Prospector Resource Investment News. He is an accomplished publisher, miner and adviser to first nations, industry and government, and is well-known throughout the mining, forestry and petroleum industries, and in resource development communities.

Dr. Belhumeur was one of the first publishers to endorse mining, hydro, oil and gas, alternative energy, and other resource development projects in Canada, believing that it would bring employment, training and prosperity to indigenous communities.

"Appia welcomes Dr. Belhumeur to the Appia Rare Earths team to assist the company in presenting a respectful dialogue with first nations, local governments and stakeholders on a wide array of reciprocal interests," stated Tom Drivas, chief executive officer, interim president and director.
