Within the drill core, we’ve discovered up to 0.34 wt% U3O8, marking significant progress in our exploration journey.
With 4,630.8 metres drilled across 34 drill holes, past and present exploration teams have devoted considerable effort into the Loranger property, bringing Appia closer to discovering its full potential.
Appia’s Loranger property is located in close proximity to Cameco’s Rabbit Lake uranium mill and Eagle Point mine operations.
Our comprehensive geophysical studies include electromagnetic, ground gravity, magnetics, Very Low Frequency assessments, Resistivity Depth Imaging, and radiometrics.
The Loranger Property, situated in the renowned Athabasca Basin, first revealed its uranium potential in 1978 during an exploration of basement rocks. Shaped by ancient tectonic forces, the property’s faulted bedrock provided pathways for the formation of uranium mineralized zones. The area’s unique geological composition, a blend of gneiss and granitic pegmatites, reflects the immense pressure and heat that forged this uranium-rich landscape.
The Loranger Property occupies a prime location on the southeastern shores of Wollaston Lake in northern Saskatchewan, situated adjacent to the vibrant northern settlement of Wollaston Lake and the Dene First Nations community of Wollaston Post, collectively known as “Wollaston Lake” or the “Village.”
Located approximately 28 kilometres northwest of the Property lies Cameco’s renowned Rabbit Lake uranium mill and Eagle Point mine operations, an enduring symbol of the uranium industry’s vitality. The Loranger Property is centrally positioned at 594,400 metres east and 6,424,400 metres north, employing the Universal Transverse Mercator (“UTM”) conformal projection with North American Datum 1983 (“NAD83”) from Zone 13. It encompasses sections of National Topographic System (“NTS”) index map sheets 64E12, 64E13, 64E14, and 64L03.
The Loranger Property, strategically located near key transportation routes including Provincial Highway 905, the Wollaston Barge Ferry, the Wollaston Airport, a winter ice road, and year-round scheduled flights, underscores its accessibility and its role as potential to be a vital contributor to regional uranium growth.
The Loranger Property has been the focus of periodic exploration programs spanning decades, employing a wide range of geological, geophysical, and geochemical techniques to assess its mineral potential.
Early work in 1968–1969 included airborne radiometric, electromagnetic (EM), and magnetic surveys, which identified vertically dipping conductors and crystalline graphite outcrops. Ground prospecting further revealed uranium mineralization with concentrations of up to 0.16 wt% U₃O₈ in granite outcrops. In 1978–1979, advanced surveys, including soil gas radon and lake-bottom geochemistry, were conducted, alongside drilling campaigns that intersected uranium mineralization, such as 0.03 wt% U₃O₈ over 6.4 m in hole WP-78-01.
Exploration campaigns continued with high-resolution airborne surveys in 2007 and 2016, including helicopter-borne VTEM™max and magnetic surveys that mapped 94 km of primary structural corridors over a 33 km strike length. Ground gravity surveys in 2017 confirmed gravity lows associated with EM-defined conductors, prompting further drilling, which intersected uranium mineralization. For example, the 2017 diamond drilling program extended uranium mineralization 750 m along strike of historical drilling in the RCV area, while also revealing hydrothermal alterations and structural features indicative of mineral deposition.
Recent efforts, including a 2021–2022 helicopter-borne VTEM Plus and gamma-ray spectrometry survey, identified several new electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies and further expanded the property’s northeast-southwest trending conductors. In 2024, a targeted diamond drilling program confirmed graphitic-rich conductors and intersected rare earth mineralization, such as 0.56 wt% TREO over 0.18 m in hole 24-LOR-003.
Appia’s mission is rooted in the growing global demand for clean, reliable energy. The exploration company is dedicated to supporting various industries in their use of uranium. By uncovering uranium resources with the potential to supply nuclear power generation, Appia aims to play a vital role in the global transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
The world’s demand for uranium is on the rise as countries seek reliable, low-carbon energy sources. Nuclear power has emerged as a key player in reducing carbon emissions and ensuring a stable energy supply. Appia is prepared to seek uranium resources responsibly, ensuring that the world’s uranium wealth is harnessed without compromising the environment.
