APPIA BEGINS DIAMOND DRILLING ON THE LORANGER URANIUM PROPERTY

Appia Energy Corp. has started the diamond drilling program for high-grade uranium on the Loranger property. The property is located 28 kilometres southeast of Cameco’s Rabbit Lake mill, Athabasca basin area, Northern Saskatchewan.

The planned diamond drill hole program will consist of approximately five to 10 drill holes totalling a minimum of 1,000 metres, and will be targeting two or three areas that display coincidental geophysical features commonly exhibited by other Athabasca high-grade uranium deposits, such as i) broad gravity lows, ii) diminished and/or broken electromagnetic (EM) conductors, and iii) apparent magnetic lineation offsets.

“The drill targets for this program integrate the results from our 2017 exploration programs with geological and geophysical similarities with other high-grade uranium deposits. The EM conductors have shown to be fertile with uranium, and the gravity lows have proven to be zones of structurally disrupted zones with hydrothermal alteration products. Targeting this combination of features provides us excellent opportunities for drilling a uranium discovery,” comments James Sykes, vice-president, exploration and development.

Diamond drilling will be conducted by Revolution Diamond Drilling Ltd. of Smithers, B.C. Drill hole results will be announced after they are reviewed and analyzed by the company. All necessary exploration permits are in hand, and the company is well financed to complete the program.
