Loranger

Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Actual Picture of the Loranger Project

Current Reports

As of the current date, there are no official technical or mineral reports available for the Loranger Project. Appia is committed to maintaining up-to-date and comprehensive documentation for all its projects, adhering to industry standards. This dedication to transparency ensures that stakeholders and interested parties will have access to accurate and relevant information. Appia remains steadfast in providing thorough insights into its projects, fostering trust and transparency within the exploration and mining community.

Current Work

Appia successfully completed a helicopter-borne gamma-ray spectrometry and VTEM geophysical survey on its Loranger uranium property in the eastern Athabasca Basin area, northern Saskatchewan in 2022. The assessment report highlights the extension and discovery of new electromagnetic (EM) conductors, with EM lineaments exceeding 10 km in contiguous strike length. The property, now drill ready pending target confirmation and permit acceptance, demonstrates a commitment to thorough exploration. The Company emphasizes the importance of data integration and 3D modeling in verifying high-priority targets, paving the way for the next phase of drilling. Geophysical activities, conducted from September 17th, 2021, to Jan 24th, 2022, revealed electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric anomalies, showcasing the property’s potential for uranium deposits in the eastern Athabasca Basin. The survey identified a well-defined north-south-oriented structure, contributing to the understanding of uranium mineralization controls in the region.

2022

  • The survey extended and discovered some new electromagnetic (EM) conductors, and provided additional structural geophysical characteristics of these conductors.
  • EM lineaments exceeding 10 km in contiguous strike length are identified.
  • EM conductors are offset by younger features.
  • The property will be drill ready once targets are confirmed and permits are submitted/accepted.

2020

  • A composite sample length of 65.75 metres returning 0.018 wt% U3O8 from within Area 51 of the Eastside property and
  • A 1.0 metre channel sample line returning 0.471 wt% total rare earth oxide (“TREO”) from Area D of the Loranger property.

2019

February - April

Drilled eight holes (1,063 m total). Holes LOR-19-02 to LOR-19-03 found 0.066 wt% U3O8 over 0.7 m at 105.5 m depth and 0.032 wt% U3O8 over 3.15 m at 96.75 m depth. LOR-19-01 to LOR-19-04A showed uranium in 900 m along a new area. LOR-19-08 found uranium “depletion” due to fluid fault network, indicating mobilization and re-deposition.

Historical Work

2017

June

Conducted 117 km of ground prospecting and radiometric surveying across four priority drill areas. The survey found boulders with similar features to those around high-grade uranium deposits, identifying 154 radioactive boulders and outcrops with radioactivity levels from 500 cps to 8,500 cps.

2017

February - April

Drilling (holes LOR-17-001 to LOR-17-007) on the Property yielded important findings. LOR-17-001 to LOR-17-003 focused on a gravity low without radioactive anomalies. LOR-17-004 to LOR-17-007 revealed significant radioactive pegmatite lenses from surface to 260 m depth, extending known radioactivity  750 m southwest along RCV area. (See Apr 12, 2017 News Release).

2017

January - February

Appia had MWH Geo-Surveys conduct a ground gravity survey over 45.2 km of 94.0 km primary corridors from VTEMTM Max Time-Domain EM/magnetic survey. Results show gravity lows at breaks in conductive corridors and cross-cutting structures. Some lows resemble Athabasca Basin high-grade uranium deposits (e.g., NexGen’s Arrow, Rio Tinto’s Roughrider). (See Feb 23, 2017 News Release).

2016

March

Staked 6 mineral claims (24,755 ha.) for the Loranger property

2016

August

Staked 3 additional mineral claims (5,970 ha.) contiguous to the SW of Loranger

2016

October

Appia hired Geotech Ltd. for helicopter VTEMTM Max survey (715 line-km) finding 94 km primary corridors similar to Athabasca uranium deposits. Results: (See Dec 13, 2016 News Release).

Historic Exploration

Historic exploration for uranium over the Loranger property has occurred over three separate timeframes; from 1968 to 1969, 1978 to 1979 and 2007. 

Appia Energy Corp. changed its name to Appia Rare Earths and Uranium Corp. in October, 2021

Geology & Mineralization

  • Radioactivity and uranium mineralization were identified at surface as discontinuous pegmatites in the
    RCV Grid No. 2 area. 
  • Sub-surface uranium mineralization and anomalous radioactivity was intersected in 10 out of 13 DDH at RCV Grid No. 2.  See “Historic Exploration” for noteworthy DDH intersections.  The uranium mineralization is hosted in pegmatites and graphitic structures
  • Rock types identified on the property include, in geochronological order from youngest to oldest; Hudsonian pegmatite, Proterozoic metasedimentary gneisses (arkosic to psammopelitic to pelitic [+/- graphite] and quartzite), and Archean granitoid gneiss.  This basement rock sequence is identical to that of other known high-grade uranium deposits in the Wollaston Domain.
  • The property boundary is approximately 21 km E of the current day Eastern Athabasca Basin margin.  Athabasca sandstone cover was important for the formation of economic uranium deposits.  Evidence suggests the property was covered by Athabasca sandstones during time of uranium deposit formation.
  • NE-trending graphitic shear/fault zones and N-S-trending Tabbernor faults are the two primary fault systems on the property.  Many Athabasca high-grade uranium deposits are associated with these reactivated structural systems.
