Cautionary Note to Investors

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) limits disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. This press release uses the term “resource.” We advise U.S. investors that while this term is defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the “CIM Standards”), such term is not recognized by the SEC and is normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. U.S. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any defined resource would ever be converted into SEC compliant reserves. Our Round Top rare earth minerals project currently does not contain any known proven or probable ore reserves under SEC reporting standards. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our latest reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.
