Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 5, 2026) - Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) (FSE: A0I0) (MUN: A0I0) (BER: A0I0) (the "Company" or "Appia")  is pleased to announce that Kurt Radtke, President of Appia, will present at the John Tumazos Very Independent Research Virtual Conference on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time / 12:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time.

The presentation will provide investors with an update on Appia's rare earth element ("REE") and uranium portfolio and the Company's strategy for advancing its assets in Canada and Brazil.

Appia's presentation will focus on the Company's current investment thesis: a diversified portfolio providing exposure to two strategically important mineral sectors, rare earth elements and uranium, with multiple projects and potential catalysts across the portfolio.

Key areas of discussion will include:

• Otherside Uranium Property, Saskatchewan: Recent magnetotelluric ("MT") work has identified and refined multiple high-priority uranium exploration targets along the property's extensive electromagnetic conductor system. Appia is advancing the project toward additional geophysical refinement, 3D geomodelling and proposed diamond drilling.
• Alces Lake Rare Earth Elements Property, Saskatchewan: Appia completed its 2026 summer diamond drilling program, with REE-bearing monazite visually identified in three of the six drill holes completed. A total of 274 drill-core samples were submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council for geochemical analysis, with results to be released following receipt, QA/QC review and interpretation.
• Ultra Rare Earth Projects, Brazil: Appia holds a 25% interest in Ultra Rare Earth Inc., providing the Company with indirect exposure to the Ultra Hard Rock and Ultra Ionic Adsorption Clay projects in Goiás, Brazil. The projects provide exposure to both hard-rock and ionic-clay rare earth mineralization.
• Elliot Lake Uranium and Rare Earths Project, Ontario: Appia maintains 100% ownership of approximately 14,483 hectares in the historic Elliot Lake mining camp, providing the Company with uranium and rare earth mineral resources and longer-term exploration and development opportunities.

"Appia today represents more than a single project or exploration thesis," said Kurt Radtke, President of Appia. "We have exposure to rare earths and uranium across multiple assets and jurisdictions, and our focus is on advancing those assets in a disciplined manner as new technical information becomes available. At Otherside, we are moving from geophysical targeting toward the next stage of technical refinement and proposed drilling. At Alces Lake, we have completed our 2026 drilling program and are awaiting analytical results. Brazil gives us exposure to an advancing rare earth opportunity, while Elliot Lake provides an established uranium and rare earth resource base. I look forward to discussing how these pieces fit together and where we see the potential for value creation across the portfolio."
