Appia Undertakes Geophysical Survey Over Loranger Property, Athabasca Basin and Acquires Additional Mineral Claims

TORONTO, ONTARIO, October 5, 2016 – Appia Energy Corp. (the “Company or “Appia”) (CSE: API) is pleased to announce that Geotech Ltd. (“Geotech”) has begun flying an approximately 715 line-kilometre VTEMTM Max Time-Domain electromagnetic (“EM”) and magnetic survey (the “Survey”) over the Company’s Loranger property (the “Property”). The Property comprises 24,755 hectares (61,171 acres) and is located 28 km southeast of Cameco’s Rabbit Lake mill, Athabasca Basin, northern Saskatchewan

The Survey will be carried out over the entire Property to better define the conductive zones that were identified in a 1978 Barringer/Questor airborne Mark VI Input ® EM survey (“Mark VI survey”) (Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment file #64E13-0038). Appia expects the Survey to take a week for completion, with the final results to be reported as received and analyzed by the Company.

Geotech’s proprietary VTEM Max airborne survey is the most innovative and successful airborne EM system that delivers unparalleled high spatial resolution and superior depth of investigation in precision EM measurements.

Appia has acquired the surface exploration rights for 3 additional mineral claims immediately contiguous to the Property for an aggregate of 5,969 hectares (14,750 acres). The new claims cover a 20 km long aeromagnetic and EM trend southwest of the current Property, and host 12 km of sub-parallel conductors that were previously identified in the same Mark VI survey mentioned above. The new claims will not be covered by the Survey.
