The program will include up to 1,000 metres of drilling across three to four drill targets and is expected to be complete within 18 days.

The crew will be stationed at Points North, Saskatchewan, with operations staged 59 km south, close to the property, working to optimize ground and airborne helicopter transportation throughout the program.

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. focuses 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 Athabasca Basin.
