Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. Receives $98,355.52 Saskatchewan TMEI Grant & $126,542.57 Deficiency Deposit Refund

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE:API) (OTCQB:APAAF) (FWB: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the "Company" or "Appia") is pleased to announce two significant funding achievements that will directly support its 2025 Saskatchewan exploration programs.

Saskatchewan TMEI Grant Approval - Loranger Property
Appia has been approved for and received a $98,355.52 grant cheque through the Saskatchewan Targeted Mineral Exploration Incentive (TMEI) program. The TMEI grant provides eligible exploration companies with funding equal to 25% of qualifying exploration costs--including diamond drilling, downhole surveys, logging, and geophysical surveys--incurred within Saskatchewan. In 2024, Appia completed three diamond drill holes on its high-priority Loranger Rare Earth Element & Uranium property, with two holes confirming REE and uranium mineralization.

Deficiency Deposit Refund - Otherside Property
Appia has also received a full refund of $126,542.57 relating to the deficiency deposit originally posted on its Otherside property in February 2024 to allow the company to hold 100% ownership over the property. Following this in October 2024, Appia completed an airborne gravity gradiometer and magnetic survey over the Otherside property. This survey not only qualified for more than enough work expenditure to fully satisfy the 2024 expenditure commitment, but to also qualified the Company for a total refund of the initial $126,542.57 deposit.

"On behalf of Appia, I would like to sincerely thank the Government of Saskatchewan for their ongoing support--both for the $98,355.52 TMEI grant approval and reimbursement of the $126,542.57 Otherside deficiency deposit. Their commitment to exploration allows us to reinvest these funds into our 2025 drill programs at several of our Saskatchewan properties. The province's leadership in uranium mining--helping Canada supply roughly 15 % of the world's mined uranium--and its emergence as North America's premier rare-earth jurisdiction, make this province the ideal partner for advancing critical-mineral exploration," said Tom Drivas, CEO of Appia.

Use of Funds
Appia intends to apply both the TMEI grant and deficiency deposit--totaling $224,898.09--toward its 2025 Saskatchewan exploration initiatives. Priority programs include follow-up drilling and geophysical surveys on the Otherside and Alces Lake properties, advancing the Company's objective to delineate high-grade rare earth and uranium targets in the Athabasca Basin region.
