APPIA ANNOUNCES RETAINING RESOURCE CONSULTANTS TO PREPARE

NI 43-101 REPORT

TORONTO, ONTARIO, September 30, 2021 - Appia Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Appia”) (CSE:API,

OTCQB:APAAF, Germany: “A0I.F”, “A0I.MU”, “A0I.BE”) is pleased to announce that the Company has

retained the services of consultants Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited (“WGM”) based in Toronto as

advisors to the Alces Lake Rare Earth Element (REE) Project. WGM will be monitoring progress on the

project pursuant to issuing a technical report (National Instrument 43-101) following the conclusion of the

current exploration program later this year.

With a wide base of international experience spanning 60 years, WGM is well known for its expertise in

exploration and mine development. The WGM project team comprises geologists, metallurgical engineers

and minerals economists with significant experience related to exploration for rare earths and the related

concentration, processing, production and marketing of rare earth products. All are Qualified Persons in

accordance with National Instrument 43-101guidelines.

This news release has been reviewed and approved by Al Workman, P.Geo., Vice-President of WGM.

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 after the end of the 2021 drilling program. 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.

* 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)).
