NEWS RELEASE

APPIA ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF AIRBORNE RADIOMETRIC SURVEYS

ON ITS SASKATCHEWAN URANIUM PROPERTIES

TORONTO, ONTARIO, September 16, 2021 - Appia Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Appia”)

(CSE:API, OTCQB:APAAF, Germany: “A0I.F”, “A0I.MU”, “A0I.BE”) i s pleased to announce that the

Company has commenced the first of two scheduled radiometric (U-Th-K) surveys on its uranium properties

in the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan where Appia is targeting at or near-surface, high grade

uranium and its associated mineral system. The properties are near existing infrastructure in the prolific

eastern Athabasca Basin area.

Appia has contracted Geotech Ltd. to fly radiometric and VTEM TM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic)

surveys over both the North Wollaston and Loranger properties. The first radiometric survey has commenced

over the North Wollaston property and will be followed by a second radiometric survey over the Loranger

property. Approximately 925 line kilometres will be flown over North Wollaston and 379 line kilometres are

scheduled to be flown over Loranger. Each survey will be flown with high-resolution 200m line spacing over

the properties.

Once VTEM equipment comes available, Appia will also have both properties covered with a VTEM TM

survey. The radiometric surveys are expected to be completed very quickly with results reviewed, analyzed

and released in the near future.

Frederick Kozak, President of Appia, commented: “We are delighted to be continuing our exploration

program for uranium on the eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin. Our three properties at North Wollaston,

Loranger and Eastside have shown the potential for near-surface, high-grade uranium mineralization and this

year’s radiometric and VTEM TM surveys will advance the prospectivity knowledge for these project areas for

future exploration activities.”

2021 Alces Lake Activity

Approximately 7,200 metres of drilling has been planned to test the near-surface and down-plunge extents of

new and existing rare-earth targets and total metreage could exceed 10,000 metres. More than 4,000 metres is

dedicated to identifying the depth potential of the WRCB zones and help complete the understanding of this

significant discovery. Drilling continues and exploration results will be released as received and analyzed by

the company. Analysis of the summer exploration and drilling program will follow and may lead to the

preparation of an NI 43-101 (Technical Report with 3D Geophysical-geological Models & Preliminary

Economic Assessment) report expected near the end of 2021. The Alces Lake project encompasses some of

the highest-grade total and critical* REEs and gallium mineralization in the world, hosted within a number of

surface and near surface monazite occurrences that remain open at depth and along strike.

To ensure safe work conditions are met for the workforce, the Company has developed exploration guidelines

that comply with the Saskatchewan Public Health Orders and the Public Health Order Respecting the

Northern Saskatchewan Administration District in order to maintain social distancing and help prevent the

transmission of COVID-19.

* Critical rare earth elements are defined here as those that are in short-supply and high-demand for use in permanent magnets and modern electronic

applications such as electric vehicles and wind turbines (i.e: neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb)).

The technical content in this news release was reviewed and approved by Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, P.Geo,

Advisor to Appia’s Board of Directors, and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
