Appia Energy Corp. provided analytical results from the first-ever diamond drilling program (the "Program") completed on the Alces Lake Property (the "Property") in northern Saskatchewan. A total of 15 short diamond drill holes ("DDH") were collared in 3 different rare earth element ("REE") zones that were previously exposed at surface as part of the Company's 2018 Summer overburden stripping program. Twelve of these holes intersected REE mineralization, of which ten intersected high-grade Total and Critical REEs. Two drill holes, CH-18-000 and CH-18-004, were abandoned and re-collared as CH-18-001 and CH-18-004A, respectively. Furthermore, three new sub-surface occurrences without surface expressions were also discovered within 12 m true depth below the surface of the Charles and Ivan zones; the Charles Lower, Ivan Middle and Ivan Lower zones. The best drill hole analytical results of the Program were from drill hole CH-18-008 within the Charles Lower zone, which returned 10.02 wt% total rare earth oxide* ("TREO") over 3.55 m. The sub-surface zones encountered with drilling remain open in all directions. The depth extensions of the surface REE zones (Charles, Ivan and Wilson) were traced down to a range of 0.43 to 7.27 metres true depth from surface and remain open with the exception of the Charles N-S subzone which was closed off at 1.95 m depth from surface. In particular, the drill hole analytical results from the Charles N-S subzone were higher grades than those witnessed at surface; for example 10.12 wt% TREO over 0.9 m returned from DDH CH-18-007.
