REE Market Developments in 2013

● 2013 world demand increased 4% to 120,000 mt (destocking continues)

● Demand for REO from magnet industry growing at 9%/year ● Chinese “illegal activity” still in the 10,000-20,000 mt range ● 2013 Chinese export quotas were approx 30,000 mt ● “Baotou Rare Earths Trading Platform” initiated ● Leaks suggest WTO ruling to go against China ● Molycorp producing below capacity, losing money ● Lynas producing, but at 1/3 of capacity ● Continued concern in governments about security of supply

● Canadian Rare Earth Elements (Research) Network (“CREEN”) created

Partnership Discussions

● Three potential profiles of Strategic Partners ● Consumers of REE concerned about security of supply

motivated to secure off-take ● Technical partners with expertise in Rare Earth

processing and refining ● Financial partners seeking return on investment

● MOUs or NDAs have been signed with numerous parties in various parts of the world over the past five years, falling into one or more of these profiles

● Best progress to date has been made in discussions with potential technical partners

● New market interest in Petalite from the glass industry in 2014 implies fundamental change in supply picture

● 2 tonne bulk sample of ore currently being processed in Europe to define new flow sheet and produce Petalite concentrate samples for glass industry customers.

● Updating PFS cost estimates and investigating alternatives for constructing demonstration scale process plant

● Updating environmental studies in preparation for permitting ● Keeping First Nation as well as City of Kenora and Ontario

Government updated on recent work programs and future development prospects

Separation Rapids Project Update

Operations Update Dave Marsh Senior Vice President, Metallurgy

Feasibility Study: Opportunities

● Many opportunities to optimize project development model to reduce technical risk and increase revenues ● Improve recoveries in flotation plant and simplify flowsheet

● Develop alternative mixed alkali hydromet’ process ● Revise mine plan to prioritize high grade sub-zones

● Potential to partner on refinery or toll-process through third party owned facility to reduce CAPEX and RISK

● Public policy initiatives to support development of REE industry outside of China to address issue of security of supply of critical raw materials

Concentrator Plant Optimization Progress in 2013

● Increased flotation recoveries ● REE recoveries up to 89% from 78% in Feasibility Study

● Simplified process flowsheet ● Removal of “de-sliming” and “gravity enrichment” circuits ● Easier to operate ● Reduced power consumption ● Environmental Benefits

● Optimised crushing and grinding circuits ● Single stage crushing (previously three stages) ● Improved grinding control ● Reduced power consumption

Hydrometallurgical Process Optimization Progress

● Process change to HCl leaching ● HREE recoveries to Separation up to 90% from 52%

● Valuable Zircon product for established markets ● Not reliant on marketing of Enriched Zircon Concentrate

● Removal of low value Ce and La ahead of Separation ● High purity mixed REE product (suitable for toll refining by

others) ● Potential to recover Niobium and Tantalum (testwork in

progress) ● Alternative site locations investigated
