Jack Lifton ignites the ‘who has the highest grade rare earths debate’ with Appia’s Tom Drivas

“The Alces Lake Project has the highest occurrence of rare earths in Canada, possibly in North America. In terms of monazite, possibly in the world. We have shown pictures of samples of monazite to SGS, and they haven’t seen anything like it — it is unique. We are getting up to 85% of monazite on the surface. In addition to that, we are getting up to 49% total rare earth over a few meters. We are not talking about grab samples. We have six-seven zones right on surface and then with some drilling that we did, we hit some blind zone subsurface. A few years ago the Saskatchewan government geologists went and looked at all the rare earths projects in Saskatchewan and Alces Lake Project came as number one.” States Tom Drivas, CEO, President and Director of Appia Energy Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQB: APAAF), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Jack Lifton.

Tom went on to say that the Alces Lake Project is a 35,000-acre property and the company has looked at a very small area and there are many areas that have a lot of potentials. Tom also said that the project is located in Saskatchewan which is a top-rated mining jurisdiction in the world. All the rare earths in the Alces Lake Project is contained within coarse grain monazite and has the right mix of rare earths. About a quarter of the total rare earths are critical rare earths (neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium).
