Jason Bagg Highlights Appia Rare Earths & Uranium’s Brazil Drill Results and Multi-Project Portfolio at PDAC 2026

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQB: APAAF) is advancing rare earth and uranium assets in Brazil and Canada, including the Alces Lake rare earth project in Saskatchewan and uranium and rare earth resources at Elliot Lake in Ontario.

Speaking with InvestorNews.com host Tracy Hughes at PDAC 2026, Jason Bagg, Vice President of Corporate Development, described the company’s Brazilian project, where Appia holds a 25% interest alongside Ultra Rare Earth.

Ultra is the operator and has been drilling the property’s ionic clay and carbonatite rare earth mineralization. “We’ve got 13 holes that just came back, and from surface to 300 meters we’re showing over 2.55% of total rare earth oxides, and with zones of over 14%. So that is incredible,” Mr. Bagg said.

Beyond Brazil, Appia continues to advance several Canadian projects. The Alces Lake project in Saskatchewan is wholly owned by the company and hosts high-grade rare earth mineralization in monazite.

“Right now, that’s a 100% owned Appia project. It has a 35-person permanent camp, and we are finding some high-grade rare earths in monazite,” Mr. Bagg said. “We actually have another drill program coming up for 3,000 meters in June.”

The company also holds the Elliot Lake project in Ontario, a historic uranium district that contains both uranium and rare earth resources.

“We have 43-101 pounds in the ground — 55 million pounds of uranium and 180 million pounds of rare earth elements,” Mr. Bagg said. “It’s something that we are looking to perhaps maybe find a partner with, or we’re trying to figure out a strategy for that particular project.”

Appia is also advancing the Otherside uranium exploration project in the Athabasca Basin.

“We have taken a look at it, we’ve done some surveys, and we’re finding that it has very similar geology to NexGen’s Arrow project,” Mr. Bagg said. “So what we’re trying to do with that is we are doing an MT survey and we’re going to refine the drill targets and get out there drilling come this spring.” “We’re definitely going to have some more drill results come from Brazil,” he said. “We’re going to be announcing our drilling campaigns in Alces Lake and with the Otherside.”
