Eastside

Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Recent Work

During the period from May 23rd to June 2nd, 2024. Appia commissioned Mustang helicopters Inc. and four (4) geologists to carry out a boots-on-the-ground geological prospecting, mapping, and sampling project. The ground based prospecting program was guided by Appia’s new Mineral Prospectivity Survey conducted in 2023, previous geophysics ran by Appia, and historical geochemical and surficial maps created by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC.).

The project revealed numerous radiometric highs and a favorable area for potential PGE mineralization. Two (2) new zones were borne from this prospecting venture: “Prospectors Peninsula”, and “High Count Hilltop”.

A combined total of 65 channel and grab samples were collected from these zones, and various other areas across the property. Highlights are listed below:

Uranium Mineralization:

Sample 181213: U3O8 = 2,523.06 ppm (0.25 wt.%),

Sample 181255: U3O8 = 673.21 ppm (0.07 wt.%),

Sample 181212: U3O8 = 644.91 ppm (0.06 wt.%),

Rare Earth Element (REE) Mineralization:

Sample 181244: TREO = 0.14 wt.%

Historic Exploration

Historic exploration for uranium in the Eastside property area has occurred over two separate timeframes; from 1969 to 1970 and 1975 to 1980.
