APPIA COMPLETES LIDAR AND ORTHOPHOTO SURVEY OVER PCH IONIC CLAY TARGET IV PROJECT AREA, GOIAS, BRAZIL

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. has completed a high-definition lidar and orthophoto survey across an area of 1,702.50 hectares which includes the company's priority ionic clay target IV project area. Metro Cubico Engenharia Ltda. was engaged by Appia to complete the survey.

"Orthophotos are essential for the efficient management of our drill campaign as they provide high-resolution and accurate visual information with maximum detail," stated Fabricio Santos, Appia's geophysics and processes manager. "Furthermore, lidar surveying provides a highly accurate contribution to terrain modelling, which is essential to ensure the accuracy of the geological model."

Metro Cubico Engenharia has been working in Brazil since 2012, and is headquartered in Sao Paulo. Metro is made up of a multidisciplinary technical team with professionals with more than 20 years of experience in various technological areas (fixed laser scanner, mobile laser scanner, mapping with drone or unmanned aerial vehicle, Georadar -- geo penetrating radar -- GPR, conventional topographic survey, specialized industrial topography) among others.

Background on the PCH project

The PCH project is located within the Tocantins structural province in the Brasilia fold belt, more specifically, the Arenopolis magmatic arc. The PCH project is 17,551.07 ha in size and located within the Goias state of Brazil. It is classified as an alkaline intrusive rock occurrence with highly anomalous rare earth element and niobium mineralization. This mineralization is related to alkaline lithologies of the Fazenda Buriti plutonic complex and the hydrothermal and surface alteration products of this complex by supergene enrichment in a tropical climate. The positive results of the recent geochemical exploration work carried out to date indicates the potential for REEs within lateritic ionic adsorption clays and niobium.
