Appia Appoints Director of Saskatchewan Operations

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2016) - Appia Energy Corp. (the "Company" or "Appia") (CSE:API) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. James Sykes to the role of "Director for Saskatchewan Operations". Mr. Sykes is an experienced and successful uranium geologist in the prolific Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.

Following his graduation from Earth Sciences (BSc) at Dalhousie University in 2006, Mr. Sykes joined Denison Mines as a field geologist and project manager working on the Wheeler River property. He was part of the team that prioritized the target areas that eventually became the Phoenix and Gryphon uranium deposits.

He also worked with Forum Uranium Corp. on a number of properties.

In 2008, he joined Hathor Exploration Ltd. during the early exploration stages of the Roughrider West deposit and he was part of the Roughrider East high-grade uranium discovery team, and led the exploration efforts on Hathor's Russell Lake project to discover three new zones of basement-hosted uranium mineralization.

Mr. Sykes joined Rio Tinto through the acquisition of Hathor from 2011 to 2013.

In 2013 Mr. Sykes joined NexGen Energy Ltd. for their initial exploration drill seasons in Saskatchewan, which included the Rook I property. He had a direct role in the discovery and continued advancement of the Arrow deposit.

He later joined Rojo Resources in a Technical Advisor capacity and is currently a Director for Economic Development in rural Saskatchewan.

Appia welcomes Mr. Sykes to its team. Mr. Sykes was involved in most of the recent significant uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin, and his experience and insight will greatly increase Appia's chances of exploration success in the Basin.

Mr. Sykes has been granted 500,000 share purchase options exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of five years.

The Company currently has interests in 86,683 hectares (214,196 acres) of claims in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, some near the Patterson Lake South area as well as around other parts of the Basin.

Appia also controls 13,008 hectares (32,143 acres), including Rare Earth and Uranium Deposits, over five mineralized zones in the Elliot Lake Camp, Ontario, which historically produced over 300 million pounds of U3O8 and is the only Canadian camp that has had significant Rare Earth Element production. Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited completed a NI 43-101 technical report on the Teasdale Zone (the "Technical Report") entitled, "A Technical Review of the Appia Energy Corp. Rare Earth and Uranium Property, Elliot Lake District, North-Central Ontario, Canada." dated July 18, 2011, with certificates dated November 7, 2012, written by Al Workman, P. Geo and Kurt Breede, P. Eng. Details of the Technical Report can be found on the SEDAR website, www.sedar.com.
