Alces Lake 2018 Exploration Update

The Company is actively planning follow-up exploration programs on the Alces Lake rare earth element ("REE") property. The programs are scheduled to start in May of this year with initial surface exploration including overburden stripping and trenching in the Wilson and Ivan zones, followed-up with diamond drilling. The Company anticipates producing an NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource estimate by the 2018 year end. The Alces Lake property hosts some of the highest-grade total and critical REE occurrences in the world, hosted within five broad surface showings that remain open in all directions (see Appia news release dated October 31, 2017). Permits for the proposed exploration programs are in-hand. The actual start date will depend on lake ice break-up, to allow float plane accessibility.
