opportunities in the rare earths and rare metals sector, today announced the
appointment of its new Financial Advisor and outlined its business strategy for

HIGH-VALUE SEGMENT OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN

REI seeks to acquire, develop and operate industrial works that process and
separate rare earth elements into finished products. The objective is to build a
vertically integrated supply chain for rare earths and rare metals products that
is profitable, environmentally sustainable, and independent from China. REI's
acquisition pipeline is deep and international in scope.


"Ninety percent of the value creation for rare earths occurs post-mining, when
the elements are actually separated into individual, high-purity metals," said
Rob Smith, CEO of REI. "Downstream separations and processing technology is
where we are focusing our corporate development efforts, and seeking to build
out our supply chain, so that REI can accept raw material feedstock from any
supplier, and produce high-value rare earths products for customers in the
western world."
