Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQX: APAAF | FSE: A0I0) has announced the extension of its existing mining claims at its PCH project in Brazil from 17.5Kha to 40.9Kha across a total of 22 claim blocks.
This substantial 133% increase in the current land package includes 12 new claims independently staked by the company but included as part of the project acquisition, incurring minimal costs. The expansion provides Appia with an opportunity to explore the geological corridor to the north of its current claim zones, unveiling new avenues for potential critical mineral resource discoveries.
“There is huge potential in these new claim blocks as we can draw clear parallels to the favourable geology that hosts the critical rare earth minerals that initially convinced us to enter into our agreement on the PCH project,” commented Appia president Stephen Burega. “Doubling the size of our overall land package within the prolific alkali province not only reflects our commitment but also strengthens the company’s strategic plans.”
Appia is a publicly traded Canadian company in the rare earth element (REE) and uranium sectors. The company is currently focusing on delineating high-grade critical rare earth elements and gallium on the Alces Lake property, as well as exploring for high-grade uranium in the prolific Athabasca Basin on its Otherside, Loranger, North Wollaston, and Eastside properties.
The company holds the surface rights to exploration for 113,837ha in Saskatchewan and has a 100% interest in 13,008ha with REEs and uranium deposits over five mineralized zones in Ontario. Lastly, the company holds the right to acquire up to a 70% interest in the PCH Project which is now 40,963ha in size and located within the Goiás State of Brazil.
