IM Exposure – Sept. 2009
Rare Earth Elements (REE)-Yttrium-Zirconium Kipawa Deposit is
the subject of a one page article in the Exposure section of the
Industrial Minerals magazine September 2009.


“… exploitation of the Kipawa deposit faces two challenges:

-the first one is “to increase the Ree-Y gross tonnage contents of 42,000
tonnes to 100,000 tonnes to be interesting for an end-user,” …

-the second one is to work on solving the liquid/solid separation step, ie
silica gel forming during the dissolution of the Ree in the ore. …”

Summary
               – One of the few known HREO resources in the world with well understood
                 and simple low cost processing solution
               – Mining friendly location with low cost electricity
 Low Cost
               – Excellent access to infrastructure and mining services
               – Open pit , low cost mining

               – Addresses worsening shortage of REE and HREE supply
 High Value    – Highly favourable exploration potential (chance of finding more)
               – Fits demand

   Timely      – Advanced discussions with end-users

Recent Rare Earth Market Development
Chinese policy changes continue to dominate the landscape
•   Government rare earth pricing mechanism introduced and industry consolidation being pursued
•   Clampdown on illegal mining and stricter environmental controls now in force
•   Further significant reductions in export quotas announced 28 December 2010 (-35% H1 vs. H1 2010)
•   Significant increase in REO prices in last 6 months, with strong price growth forecast to continue through
    2015 and beyond
US government to re-establish domestic REE supply chain
•   Rare Earth and Critical Revitalization Act passed by House of Representatives in Oct 2010.

High level discussions between Washington and China regarding security of rare earth supply
   continuing

China confirms only 15-20 years of HREO and MREO reserves (Oct 2010)

Plans by countries including China, Japan and more recently US, to stockpile rare earths widely
    reported

Judith Chegwidden and Dudley Kingsnorth, at the Metal-Events Conference in
Hong Kong, 9-11 Nov. 2010
    ─    Identified five heavy rare earths projects in the world: Dubbo, Nechalacho, Strange Lake, Bokan-Dotson Ridge
         and Kipawa.

Matt Gowing, Mackie Research Capital Corporation, Alternative Energy – Rare Earth Industry
    Update (Feb. 2011)
    - Recommended plays- Focus on Heavy Rare Earths

Mr. Yasushi Watanabe (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and
Technology) highlighted, at this same conference
     –   That the Japanese government and private sectors are looking for sources of rare earths outside of China,
         particularly heavy rare earths deposits.
         “These sources must be timely, compact and inexpensive projects.”
