APPIA ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. has arranged a non-brokered private placement of 8,931,250 working capital units of the company at a price of eight cents per WC unit for $714,500 and 3,075,000 critical-mineral flow-through units at a price of 10 cents per FT unit for $307,500, for total gross proceeds of $1,022,000. The closing of the offering is scheduled for Oct. 29, 2024.

Each WC unit consists of one common share of the company priced at eight cents per common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each WC warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of 15 cents until the earlier of: (i) two years from the closing of the offering; or (ii) in the event that the closing price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange is at least 25 cents for 10 consecutive trading days, and the 10th trading day is at least four months from the closing, the date which is 30 days from the final trading day.

Each FT unit consists of one flow-through common share priced at 10 cents per FT share and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the company at a price of 15 cents until the earlier of: (i) two years from closing; or (ii) the trigger date.

Eligible finders will be paid $2,580 in cash and issued 32,250 brokers' warrants in relation to the sale of WC units. Each broker's warrant issued entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the company at a price of eight cents for two years from the closing of the offering. Securities issued on the offering will be subject to a resale restriction of four months and one day from closing.

One insider has subscribed for 875,000 WC units and 2.5 million FT units for aggregate proceeds of $320,000 ($70,000 as to the WC offering and $250,000 as to the FT offering). The insider private placement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the consideration for the securities of the company issued to the insider does not exceed 25 per cent of its market capitalization.

Proceeds from the WC offering will be used for general working capital and for exploration at the company's PCH project in Brazil.

The gross proceeds from the FT offering will be used for Canadian exploration expenses (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) that qualify as a flow-through critical mineral mining expenditure for purposes of the tax act related to the exploration program of the company to be conducted on the company's properties located in Saskatchewan. The company will renounce such Canadian exploration expenses with an effective date of no later than Dec. 31, 2024. The Canadian exploration expenses to be renounced by the company will qualify for the critical-mineral exploration tax credit under the tax act.
