Appia Rare Earths & Uranium (API) - Focus is the Key

Interview with Frederick Kozak, President of Appia Rare Earths & Uranium (CSE: API)

Appia’s management, directors and consulting team have extensive experience with uranium exploration in the prolific Athabasca Basin district of northern Saskatchewan, and uranium and rare earth development and mining in the historic Elliot Lake mining camp.

Northern Saskatchewan is one of the best mining jurisdictions in Canada and has been consistently highly ranked as a mining district. Appia has found rare earths which appear to be one of the best rare earths discoveries globally. Appia started out as a uranium focused company but rare earths are found in similar areas to uranium deposits and given the emphasis on electric vehicles, clean energy and critical materials, Appia has decided to concentrate on their rare earths discovery in addition to the uranium assets.

Appia has raised money a couple of times this year which has given the company enough money to complete the 2021 drilling programme which was expanded from 5,000m to possibly 10,000m. The company has built an all weather camp which will enable them to work throughout the Canadian winter and continue drilling.

Appia is currently focused predominantly on the rare earths but also has the uranium assets to consider going forward. The Alces Lake project has a high quality occurrence of rare earths and the company is drilling towards a 43-101 report from the 2021 drilling programme. The next step will be a PEA or further drilling to enhance the project.

The Saskatchewan research council is currently building Canada’s first rare earths processing facility in Saskatchewan which Appia could possibly utilise for their rare earths once it is up and running.

Appia now has the money which will predominantly be spent on rare earths but the company also has the capacity to drill the uranium projects this winter too. Appia aims to give clear guidance on how they plan to insert themselves into the rare earths space and the strategy for the uranium assets going forward.

Great interview! I am a previous Appia shareholder and would like to own it again as it moves forward. I originally bought the stock for its potential uranium exposure. Healthy land package. Hoping it doesn't run away from me before I get back in!

Been watching this company awhile, like it a lot.

[tylerhunt]

The rare earth mine was found to be a good one. My concern is what is the capacity that Appia could produce in a year in an economical ways with the assistance of the provincial government's processing facilities. Also, when is the 1st production available to the market ?

[tylerhunt]

The one who asked the question was not focus to the points. Appia is a actually a rare earth mining company nowadays. However, the one who answer the questions was organized and consolidated...😉

[franktucker]

The key question is processing REEs, which are very polluting/non ESG. Requires very specialized equipment process/extract.

[hermanhaertner]

This is the guy without even a TSX listing. You can't take this guy serious....
