 Today we're talking with Tom Drivis, the CEO of Apia Resources in Saskatchewan and this is a company I have not covered before so I'm very interested in finding out some information and I also have some information to impart to Mr. Drivis. Tom, can you tell us about your company, the deposit, and why your company should be a standout in the weather field? At Apia, we're excited. We're a company based in Toronto. The last two or three years we're concentrating on our project, the Auschwitz Lake project that is located in northern Saskatchewan. The Auschwitz Lake project has, as you mentioned, the highest great, it's the highest occurrence of rare earths in Canada, possibly in North America and in terms of monazide, possibly in the world. We shown samples to a SGS of the pictures of the samples of monazide and they haven't seen anything like this. As you know, SGS has done quite a bit of work for a lot of the world rare earth projects. It is unique. We're getting up to 85 percent monazide, that's on the surface. In addition to that, we're getting up to 50 percent total rare earth station, 49 percent rare earth over a few meters. It's not just grab samples. We're now talking about grab samples. We've got six or seven zones right on surface and then with some drilling that we did, we hit some blind zone surface. It is quite exciting. In addition to that, when we got involved with this property, I staked it. A few years ago when rare earths were basically again in high demand, the Saskatchewan government geologists went and looked at all the projects, rare earth projects in Saskatchewan. The Auschwitz Lake project came out as number one. From some old trenches, they were getting up to 27 percent of rare earths and then they went back the following year and then we start doing exploration and as I mentioned, we're getting up to 49 percent total rare earths. Let me just make a point here for our viewers, Tom. Let's say that the highest grade I ever heard of in my life as monazide was at Mount, well, Australia, a large deposit, which is something I believe 12 over 15 percent or closer to 12. The Bassensite deposit at Mountain Pass is six and a half or seven percent. You're talking about some very seriously high grade stuff. Now, the issue will be, of course, how much of it is there. Let me say one more thing. The highest grade deposit I know of of rare earths on this planet is in the nation of Burundi and it's a company called Rainbow Rare Earths, developing it. They actually send out 50 percent concentrate, which is done mechanically, but the point is it's a very small deposit with a very short mine life. Now, you need to prove the extent of your deposit and, of course, the size of the resource reserve and for an indicator, etc. Where are you on that and what do you need to go forward? We're convinced that you've got a fantastic deposit, but we need to know how big it is. The stuff on the surface is fabulous because it's obviously very easy to get at. I'd like you to talk about what you need to prove that deposit and then we're going to get into another big plus I understand you have with processing. We have been exploring there for the last two, three years. We have two years of summer exploration basically. The first year we had to establish camp and we did some stripping and limited exploration and some drilling. Last year was a year that we did did about 40 drill holes and we're excited again from what we see. Now, it's a large property. We have 35,000 acres up there. We only looked at a very small area and we've got other areas that have a lot of potential. So, yes, the question to answer is how much is there or at least an initial resource because it's going to take a lot of years to explore the whole property and the whole project. But we want to get it to the point where we want to go back this year and we have an active program drilling and exploration program to see if we can really bring our first resource and basically put a PEA and then put some numbers pen and pencil and come up with an initial resource. So, we definitely need some more drilling. Now, what we've done so far is we've got, as I mentioned, we've got six or seven different zones on surface. We have, we drill very short holes down to 50 meters only and we hit the subsurface last year. Basically, we hit a zone that was running roughly 15 meters, about 16 percent total rare earths and within that was 3.7 meters of 49 percent total rare earths. The other crucial thing here is the mix of rare earths. We've got a quarter of our total rare earths are critical rare earths, neodymium, prisodymium, which is needed for the magnets and all this. So, in addition to that, before we got really excited about this project because we know there's a lot of rare earth projects. It's just that the mineralogy is very important. So, before we even started two years ago to get really excited about this, we did mineralogy studies at the University in Saskatchewan and University of Toronto and we were surprised to find out that all our rare earths are contained within monazite and it's coarse-grained monazite and as you know, the process of extracting rare earth from monazite is well known. So, we've got a, not only we've got high grade, but we've got the right mix of rare earths and we do also have the coarse grain and all in monazite. So, that's sort of exciting. So, yes, what we want to do is we want to jumpstart, we want to basically go in and hit it really hard with exploration and drilling to see if we can really come up with an initial resource. Okay, the University of Toronto is probably the outstanding rare earth R&D place in Canada for certain, probably in North America, in my opinion, but I also understand that the Saskatchewan Research Console already has in place a solvent extraction system, public plant size, built for them by ex-Chinese scientists and engineers, which you have, which has looked at your material and believes they can run it. Is this correct? Yes, it is correct. The SRC, the Saskatchewan Research Console, basically is doing all our saying and they've looked at our deposit and over the years they have a plan, a pilot plan, a 2000 ton a year pilot plan that is available. They did quite a bit of box samples and sampling for other companies in the past for rare earths. So, it is in place and they also have a couple of Chinese engineers or metallurgists from China that work in the deposit in China that are working with the SRC. So, it is unique and it's a big advantage for Appiah because it's right in Saskatchewan and not in addition to that we have this potential of a huge high-grade rare earth source, their expertise are there to process. My understanding is that the third item on your Charm bracelet is the fact that Saskatchewan, being Canada's premier producer of uranium, says that the normal thorium and uranium in the Montezai won't be a problem up there because it will be handled by the uranium industry of Saskatchewan. It will be disposed of properly or sold if you want. The location of where the deposit is crucial. Saskatchewan is one of the, you know, within the three top rated world mining jurisdiction or exploration. So, that's good and they're producing 20% uranium, like they've got high-grade uranium so they're very familiar with radioactivity and they can handle that. SRC has a license to handle radioactive material or radioactivity and so we're lucky in that respect that the deposit is located in a province that is pro-mining. They understand uranium and thorium and so that's a big plus for us so we feel that, you know, if this deposit was located in another jurisdiction, you know, it could be questionable. I agree. And I can tell you that this sounds to me like everything that can go right. You know, when Molycorp got started, their biggest problem was how do they process the material at the very beginning, way long ago before Tracy was born. They could not figure it out so they had to go through decades of building a sovereign extraction plant. Now you've got a great deposit, you've got technology right there and you've got the biggest problem handled. The biggest problem for any monocyte mining is that radioactivity. What do you do with it? So, I'm going to guess, Tom, that you only have one problem remaining and that is you need to raise capital to move this project forward. So, is that correct? This is correct, basically. And because of the timing, you know, like the interest of developing sources of supply of rare earth supplies outside of China is now, we don't want to take a long time to develop this. So, Jack, yes, the key is to raise enough money to do some serious work here to get this project to a development stage. Now, because of the uniqueness of the deposit, there's a lot of interest from, not only from industry, but also from academia, from the academia where they, there are, we're doing quite a few studies right now in universities here in Canada, in the U.S., potentially, and also in Europe, that we have some two or three PhD students doing studies and we're trying to understand the nature and the genesis of the deposit and all this. But again, the key is we need to raise enough capital to get to a first resource and then move it to the next level. On your website, is there a plan, how much money you need, target production, things like that yet? Not in terms of how much, in terms of a detailed plan or production, because we want to get to a source and we want to do a PEA. But because of the grades, we don't need millions and millions of tons, something like this. We'll be happy with 100,000 tons or 200,000 tons on the initial resource. Yeah, just for people to understand where we're looking at a ton of our ore at Wilson's zone, we're looking at sort of 8, 10 percent. I'm not talking about 30 and 40 and 50 percent. Just 9, 10 percent will contain about 90 to 100 kilos of total rare earths, of that 25 kilos would be basically critical rare earths. So you know what the economics are. It looks very, very exciting. You would then be out producing by tonnage ratio molecule. And quite frankly, you would be doing a little better than Mountain Pass. Look, Tom, I wish you all the luck and I'm going to follow this because quite frankly, I don't want to be caught out here as a rating scale, but you're in the top one or two in North America, in my opinion, of deposits. And if it proves out to be of the right size, because we know the processing chemistry is well known, then you've got a winner, a real winner. And thank you very much for it. Thank you so much. We're very excited and thank you for your time.
