2. Forward Looking Statements
The information in this document has been prepared as at September 21, 2012 Certain statements contained in this document
constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
forward looking information under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws. When used in this document, the words
“anticipate”, “expect”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “will”, “planned”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward‐looking
statements or information. Such statements include without limitation: statements regarding timing and other assumptions; estimates of
future resources, mineral production, optimization efforts and sales; estimates of mine life; estimates of future internal rates of return,
mining costs, processing costs, cash costs, mine site costs and other expenses; estimates of future capital expenditures and other
cash needs, and expectations as to the funding thereof; statements and information as to the projected development of the Eco Ridge
Mine, including estimates of exploration, development and production and other capital costs, and estimates of the timing of such
exploration, development and production or decisions with respect to such exploration, development and production; estimates of
resources, and statements and information regarding anticipated future exploration; the anticipated timing of events with respect to the
Company's Eco Ridge Mine project and statements and information regarding the sufficiency of the Company's cash resources. Such
statements and information reflect the Company's views as at the date of this document and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements and information. Many factors, known and unknown
could cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements and
information. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the volatility of prices of rare earth oxides and uranium oxide and other metals;
uncertainty of mineral resources, mineral grades and mineral recovery estimates; uncertainty of future production, capital expenditures,
and other costs; currency fluctuations; financing of additional capital requirements; cost of exploration and development programs;
mining risks; community protests; risks associated with governmental and environmental regulation; the volatility of the Company's
stock price; and other associated risks. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-
looking statements and information.
Note: The Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) is preliminary in nature. It includes inferred mineral resources, which are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable their categorization as
mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA forecast will be realized.

3. The Eco Ridge Mine Rare Earth & Uranium Project
• Located in Elliot Lake: North America’s proven
heavy rare earth mining camp.
• Heavy rare earth enriched mineralogy is well
understood and provides excellent recovery.
• NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment
(“the PEA”) indicates robust economics.
• Heavy REO, Neodymium Oxide (Nd2O3) &
Uranium Oxide (U3O8) provide 85% of revenue.
• Mine construction targeted for 2015.
• World-class technical team, experienced in Elliot Lake.

5. Elliot Lake: A Proven Mining Camp
• 300M lbs of historic U3O8 production from Elliot Lake.
• Only Canadian camp to produce REO commercially.
• Well-understood geology, mineralogy and metallurgy.
• Outstanding regional infrastructure – highways,
railway, power, airport & deep water ports.
• Qualified work force & enthusiastic local support.
• Politically stable and mining friendly jurisdiction.
• Ideal location for safe, secure, reliable, long-term
supply of heavy REO & U3O8.

8. Critical Rare Earths Diversified with Uranium
• Heavy REO, neodymium Oxide (Nd2O3) &
uranium oxide (U3O8) provide 85% of
project revenue in PEA.
• US Dept. of Energy sees supply risks for
neodymium, dysprosium, europium, yttrium
& terbium (the “Critical Rare Earths”)
• Vast majority of REO revenue at Eco Ridge
from Critical Rare Earths
• Uranium oxide provides important by-
product revenue diversification.

9. Uranium Demand is Strong
• Nuclear reactors worldwide*:
• 435 currently operating
• >60 under construction
• 160 planned
• >320 proposed
• Global production is less
than reactor consumption.
• Balance supplied from
secondary sources, which
are nearing depletion.

12. Processing Circuit Optimized for HREO and Uranium
• Conventional milling achieves excellent
recovery from heavy rare earth enriched
uranium minerals.
• Bench scale acid baking tests have
achieved dramatic increase in recoveries
compared to July 2011 PEA.
• Physical concentration of ore prior to acid
baking will reduce the amount of material
to be processed by acid baking.

Crushing, grinding, mineral concentration,
acid baking, and oxide precipitation will occur
at on-site processing complex, producing rare
earth carbonate and U3O8 “yellowcake”.
