Rare Earths in the Limelight
I certainly believe that the FOB China prices for REEs will continue to rise given
the Chinese announcement of second-half quotas. There is no reason tobelieve there will be anything but continuing pressure on REE prices and
supplies outside of China.

A Paradigm Shift in the REE Industry
Security of supply no longer just a commercial Issue
It is now a Political Issue
Rare Earth Supply Technology and ResourcesTransformation Act [RESTART] introduced to both the U.S House ofRepresentatives and the U.S. Senate in 2010
Japanese Industry Minister asked Chinese Minister of Industryand Information for reductions to this year's export quota to be
reversed. We are concerned that rare-earth metals will notcome to Japan in the future.

What Are Rare Earth Elements
13
Rare Earth Element or REE are Lanthanide series elements and are foundat the bottom of the Periodic Table
15 elements plus Yttrium are classified as REE and have specificmagnetic, fluorescent and chemical properties
Some are classed as Light, Medium or Heavy REE and have varyingapplications in laptops, LCDs , cellular phones and hybrid vehicles.
Heavy REE such as Europium, Terbium and Dysprosium command thehighest value
