Rare Earth Minerals' 333pc rise after name change puts Aim under fresh scrutiny
What's in a name? About 10m, according to investors in Aim-listed Rare Earth Minerals Plc, whose share price rose 66pc yesterday.

Rare Earth Minerals' new website can still be found at www.zestmusic.com By Rowena Mason, Energy Correspondent 6:00AM GMT 31 Dec 2010

The company, which does not yet own any rare earth minerals or licences to mine them, was a loss-making music business called Zest until eight days ago.

It has not revealed how it plans to acquire any of the minerals on which China has a near monopoly. Nor has it disclosed the countries where it is targeting acquisitions with just 630,000 of cash in the bank.

However, since it proposed the name change on November 12, its share price has more than quadrupled from 0.35p, valuing it at 3.1m, to 1.52p, valuing it at 13.5m.

The rise is likely to raise further questions about the London Stock Exchange's governance of the AIM market - three years on since Roel Campos, an SEC commissioner, described the junior market as a "like a casino".

It has been under renewed scrutiny since Desire Petroleum's wild share spikes earlier this month. A spokesman for AIM declined to comment on whether the regulatory team is looking into Rare Earth Minerals

One broker said: "It is penny stock madness, a herd mentality, though I'm not sure what they're trying to cash in on. It is just like a type of dotcom boom situation."

At the height of the dotcom boom, a string of cash shells - companies with a stock market quote but no actual business - listed on AIM. The value collapsed when the bubble burst, prompting the LSE to change its rules.

TD Waterhouse, the retail broker, said Rare Earth Minerals was its most traded stock yesterday, with the most buy orders and fourth most sell orders. "It's the first time I've ever seen it appear in the top ten," a spokesman said.

More than 143m shares changed hands, despite no new publicly available information.

The only announcement the company has made recently has been the award of 98m share options to "directors, staff , consultants and advisors" at 0.5p, redeemable in ten years.

The company's shares also rose sharply in January, when it appointed David Lenigas, a veteran of the world of penny stocks, as a non-executive. He is one of only two board members at Rare Earth Minerals and disclosed he was a director of 94 other companies including Solo Oil, Vatulouka Gold Mines and LonZim.

Last year, a study by Manchester Business School found AIM companies were no more likely to fail than those on other markets. However, they had more chance of survival if older, bigger, had a greater free float and a reputable nominated advisor.

Rare Earth Minerals was unavailable for comment.

This share is flying so far and will continue to do so this week.

i dipped in and out rem when momentum high and real basic research - made a bit - however upon serious research i believe it was a fluke - good luck to anyone in though - if i miss out so be it, but i think there name of rare earth minerals was very well thought out chosen to attract maximum impact & all the interest it did - tread carefully here imo - would consider @ sub .9 - then not a lot - another one high risk but at least they have sales is opm - due to risk they have borrowings about 1m i think @ 11% et cetera - in the middle of checking them out - gla

i bought 2.6 mill at 0.5p , just sold 1.1 mill for very nearly my initial stake, i now own 1.5 mill shares free and will stay for the ride 1.2 today waiting for 10p !!!!!!!!

shanks - well done that is the way to do it - in your situation here it is a no brainer - just let them ride - i am still watching this one - i know best to be in early - maybe things will change with tech staff appointed, projects named - some sort of roadmap - however i may well take a big risk and buy tomorrow - their strategy interests me - similar to many others maybe enough to have a tickle at current sp tomorrow, one things for sure - rem will need more wedge to get up and running which is to be expected :

The Company's investing policy, which was subject to shareholder approval and approved at a General Meeting on 29 November 2010, is to acquire a diverse portfolio of direct and indirect interests in exploration and producing rare earth minerals and/or metals projects and assets ("Investing Policy"). In light of the nature of the assets and projects which will be the focus of the Investing Policy the Company will consider investment opportunities anywhere in the world.

The Directors have considerable experience investing, both in structuring and executing deals and in raising funds. Further details of the Directors' expertise are set out on this website. The Directors will use this experience to identify and investigate investment opportunities, and to negotiate acquisitions. Wherever necessary the Company will engage suitably qualified technical personnel to carry out specialist due diligence prior to making an acquisition or an investment. For the acquisitions which they expect the Company to make, the Directors may adopt earn-out structures, with specific performance targets being set for the sellers of the businesses acquired, and with suitable metrics applied.

The Company may invest by way of outright acquisition or by the acquisition of assets, including the intellectual property, of a relevant business, partnerships or joint venture arrangements. Such investments may result in the Company acquiring the whole or part of a company or project (which in the case of an investment in a company may be private or listed on a stock exchange, and which may be pre-revenue), and such investments may constitute a minority stake in the company or project in question. The Company's investments may take the form of equity, joint venture, debt, convertible documents, license rights, or other financial documents as the Directors deem appropriate.

The Company may be both an active and a passive investor depending on the nature of the individual investments in its portfolio. Although the Company intends to be a long-term investor and the Directors will place no minimum or maximum limit on the length of time that any investment may be held.

There is no limit on the number of projects into which the Company may invest, nor the proportion of the Company's gross assets that any investment may represent at any time and the Company will consider possible opportunities anywhere in the world.

The Directors may offer new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company by way of consideration as well as cash, thereby helping to preserve the Company's cash for working capital and as a reserve against unforeseen contingencies including by way of example, and without limit, delays in collecting accounts receivable, unexpected changes in the economic environment and unforeseen operational problems. The Company may in appropriate circumstances, issue debt securities or otherwise borrow money to complete an investment. There are no borrowing limits in the Articles of Association of the Company. The Directors do not intend to acquire any cross-holdings in other corporate entities that have an interest in the ordinary shares.

There are no restrictions in the type of investment that the Company might make nor on the type of opportunity that may be considered other than as set out in this Appendix.

As an investing company, Rare Earth Minerals plc (formerly called Zest Group plc) will be required to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules or otherwise implement its Investing Policy on or before the date falling twelve months from the adoption of the Investing Policy, failing which, the Company's Ordinary Shares would then be suspended from trading on AIM. In the event the Company's Ordinary Shares are so suspended and the Company fails to obtain shareholders' consent to renew such policy, the admission to trading on AIM of the Company's Ordinary Shares would be cancelled six months from the date of suspension and the Directors will convene a general meeting of the Shareholders to consider whether to continue seeking investment opportunities or to wind up the Company and distribute any surplus cash back to Shareholders. In making the assessment of whether or not an investing company has substantially implemented its investing policy, this is normally considered to mean that the investing company has invested a substantial portion (usually at least in excess of 50 per cent) of all funds available to it, including funds available through agreed debt facilities, in accordance with its investing policy.

std risks for rem..
Requirement for further funds
The existing resources of the Company may not be sufficient for the future working capital requirements of the Company or allow the Company to exploit new opportunities. It may therefore be necessary for the Company to raise further funds in the future, which may be by way of issue of further Ordinary Shares on a non pre-emptive basis. Although it is the Company's intention to issue Ordinary Shares to satisfy all or part of any consideration payable on an acquisition, vendors of suitable companies or businesses may not be prepared to accept Ordinary Shares at the quoted market price.

Market information and nature of Ordinary Shares
The market price of the Ordinary Shares may not reflect the underlying value of the Company's net assets. Potential investors should be aware that the value of shares can rise or fall and that there may not be proper information available for determining the market value of an investment in the Company at all times. An investment in a share which is traded on AIM, such as the Ordinary Shares, may be difficult to realise and carries a high degree of risk. The ability of an investor to sell Ordinary Shares will depend on there being a willing buyer for them at an acceptable price. Consequently, it might be difficult for an investor to realise his/her investment in the Company and he/she may lose all of his/her investment.

Risks relating to the Company and its business
An investment in the Company is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Future results, including resource recoveries and work programme plans and schedules, will be affected by changes in market conditions, commodity price levels, political or regulatory developments, timely completion of exploration programme commitments or projects, the outcome of commercial negotiations and technical or operating factors.

Initial operational risks
The Company will initially be dependent upon the ability of the Directors to identify suitable investment opportunities and implement the Company's strategy. During this identification process, resources may be expended fruitlessly on investigative work and due diligence.

AIM
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares will be maintained. AIM is a market for emerging or smaller growing companies and may not provide the liquidity normally associated with the Official List or other exchanges. The future success of AIM and liquidity in the market for the Ordinary Shares cannot be guaranteed. In particular, the market for the Ordinary Shares may be, or may become, relatively illiquid and therefore the Ordinary Shares may be or may become difficult to sell.

Share Price Volatility and Liquidity
The market price of the Ordinary Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations due to a change in investor sentiment regarding the Company or the industry in which the Company operates or in response to specific facts and events, including positive or negative variations in the Company's interim or full year operating results and business developments of the Company and/or competitors. The market price of the existing Ordinary Shares may not reflect the underlying value of the Company and it is possible that the market price of the Ordinary Shares will trade at a discount to net asset value. Potential investors should be aware that the value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up and that investment in a share which is traded on AIM might be less realisable and might carry a higher risk than a share quoted on the Official List.

No Dividends
The Company has not paid any dividends on its Ordinary Shares. Any decision to pay dividends on its Ordinary Shares in the future will be dependent upon the financial requirements of the Company to finance future growth, the financial condition of the Company and other factors which the Board of Directors may consider appropriate in the circumstances.

i am all rem'ed out for now!! have a good evening all..

Exploration and Development
Exploration for REM is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is unsuccessful. There can be no assurance that exploration efforts will result in the discovery of mineralisation or that any mineralisation discovered will result in reserves. If reserves are developed, it may take a number of years and substantial expenditures from the initial phases of drilling until production is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. No assurance can be given that exploration programs will result in reserves or that reserves may be economically mined. The long term profitability of the Company's operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Company.

Estimates of Mineral Resources and Production Risks
Any mineral resource estimates provided by the Company will be estimates only, and no assurance can be given that any proven or probable reserves will be discovered or that any particular level of recovery of minerals will in fact be realised or that an identified reserve or resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) deposit which can be legally and economically exploited. In addition, the grade of mineralisation which may ultimately be mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. Any estimated mineral resources provided by the Company in future should not be interpreted as assurances of commercial viability or potential or of the profitability of any future operations.

Environmental Factors
Subject to the adoption of the New Investing Strategy and investments being made, the Company's operations will be subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations or result in substantial costs and liabilities to the Company in the future. Furthermore, environmental hazards which are unknown to the Company at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators may exist on properties that the Company acquires.

Title to Assets and Claims Titles and Indigenous Rights
The Company's title to its properties may be subject to disputes or other claims including indigenous land title claims. Although the Company will exercise the usual due diligence with respect to determining title to properties in which it wishes to acquire a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such properties will not be challenged or impugned. There may be valid challenges to the title of the Company's properties, which, if successful, could impair the Company's ability to explore, develop and/or operate its properties or to enforce its rights with respect to its properties. Indigenous rights and title may be claimed with respect to the Company's properties or other types of tenure with respect to which mining rights have been conferred. In addition, other parties may dispute the Company's title to the properties in which it has an interest and such properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or land claims by indigenous persons, and title may be affected by undetected encumbrances or defects or government actions. An impairment to or defect in the Company's title to its properties could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, such claims, whether or not valid, will involve additional costs and expenses to defend or settle which could adversely affect the Company's profitability.

Dependence on Key Employees
The Company's future growth and its ability to develop depend, to a significant extent, on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. The Company will be highly dependent on the principal members of its senior management group and the loss of their services might impede the Company's business strategy and growth. The loss of one or more key employees could have an adverse effect on the growth and profitability of the Company. Given the increased activity in the resources area, there is intense competition for skilled mining personnel.

Financing Risks
The Company has limited financial resources and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration or to fulfil its obligations under any applicable agreements. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration plans.

Metal Prices
The Company's revenues, if any, are expected to be derived, in due course, in large part from the mining and sale of REM. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including international economic and political conditions, expectations of inflation, international currency exchange rates, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities, levels of supply and demand, increased production of REM due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods, availability and costs of metal substitutes, metal stock levels maintained by producers and others and inventory carrying costs. The effect of these factors on the price of rare earth, base and precious metals and minerals, and therefore the economic viability of the Company's operations, cannot be accurately predicted.

Regulations and Mining Law, Governmental Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to extensive federal, provincial, state and local laws and regulations governing exploration, development, production, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, reclamation, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. Compliance with such laws and regulations increases the costs of planning, designing, developing, constructing, operating and closing mines and other facilities. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws and regulations could become such that the Company would not proceed with or would postpone the development and operation of a mine or mines. Exploration, development and mining of properties in which the Company has an interest will be affected to varying degrees by: (i) government regulations relating to such matters as environmental protection, health, safety and labour; (ii) mining law; (iii) restrictions on production; price controls; tax increases; (iv) maintenance of claims; (v) tenure; and (vi) expropriation of property. There is no assurance that future changes in such regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations. Government approvals and permits are required in connection with the exploration activities proposed for the properties in which the Company has an interest. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company's planned exploration, development and production activities may be delayed, curtailed, or cancelled entirely. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and requirements may result in enforcement action against the Company, including orders calling for the curtailment or termination of operations on the properties, or calling for corrective or remedial measures requiring considerable capital investment. Parties engaged in mineral exploration and mining activities may be subject to civil and criminal liability as a result of failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permitting requirements affecting mineral exploration and mining activities could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations and prospects.

Permits and Licences
The operations of the Company may require licences and permits from various governmental authorities. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licences and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects.

Infrastructure
Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect the Company's operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Nature of Operations
The realisation of amounts shown for resource properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to develop these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds of disposition from these properties.

Operating Hazards and Risks
Mineral exploration and mining involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The work which the Company proposes to undertake will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of which could result in work stoppages and damage to persons or property or the environment and possible legal liability for any and all damage. Fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions and cave-ins, are risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs. Although the Company will, when appropriate, secure liability and property insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable, or the Company might elect not to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur significant costs or uninsured losses that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition.

Competition
The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company will compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. The Company's inability to compete with other mining companies could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and business.

Uninsured Risks
In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fire, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such events arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the Company's Ordinary Shares.

Risks Associated with Conflicts of Interest
Certain of the Company's directors and officers also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies or other managerial positions involved or related to natural resource exploration and development and consequently there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. Any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving the Company will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. In addition, each of the Company's directors is required to declare any interest in any matter in which such directors may have a conflict of interest in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Companies Act 2006 and other applicable laws.

Political, economic and regulatory regime
Projects in which the Company invests are likely to be in jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom and accordingly there will be a number of risks which the Company will be unable to control. Whilst the Company will make every effort to ensure it has robust commercial agreements covering its activities, there is a risk that the Company's activities will be adversely affected by economic and political factors such as the imposition of additional taxes and charges, cancellation or suspension of licences, expropriation, war, terrorism, insurrection and changes to the laws governing mineral exploration and operations. There is also the possibility that the terms of any licence the Company may acquire may be changed.

Currency Risk/
Currently the Company's majority of its costs and revenues are denominated in Pounds. As the Company moves forward with the proposed investing policy it may becomes more exposed to volatility in currencies fluctuation. This may result in additions to the Company's reported costs or reductions in the Company's reported revenues.

Due diligence costs
The Company may incur costs in conducting due diligence into potential opportunities that may not result in an acquisition being made.

Nice post Gibby covers just about everything out there at the moment !!
Me I think its all down to Lenigas and Rowan, do you trust them ? I vote yes at this time.

Rare Earth inerals are a no brainer if you got em you'l make money but as of yet we have none, theres the question however, these boys have plenty of links to various mining outfits and do you reckon they will come up with a deal or two ?

If they do then this share rockets no problem, so back to my initial question do you trust them to come up with the deals, me yes for sure , all points to these guys coming u with the goods why else would they bother, they have plenty of other interests to keep them busy.

cheers shanks - trust lenigas & rowan - lol they are businessmen........ but if they make me cash let them get on with it - i am in another company linked to lenigas - otc - ortac - very good price right now - bit of history:

TEMPLAR MINERALS(0.92p)which has not exactly been a roaring success so far is now trying it's luck on ORTAC.David Lenigas is stepping down as a Director:-

Templar Minerals reverse takeover of Ortac Resources.
StockMarketWire.com
2/8/10

TEMPLAR MINERALS is to acquire Ortac Resources for 7.5 million.

The Company will assume responsibility for the discharge of Ortac's liability to Tournigan Energy under the Tournigan Share Purchase Agreement.

Furthermore, the Company will be responsible for ensuring that the outstanding payment obligation of US$1.9 million to Tournigan by Ortac is met and therefore the total effective consideration will be approximately 8.7m.

Ortac's principal asset is the Kremnica Gold Project and it also has 100 per cent ownership interests in seven other licences in the east of Slovakia.

The acquisition constitutes a reverse takeover and the Board intends to change the name of the company to Ortac Resources.

Ortac is a gem - but i am sure you have seen it already

i think rem will eventually come good - but i do place in the high risk category - hoping rem will drop some more before topping up - lots of opportunities about right now

Acquisition of Interest in Canadian Properties

Rare Earth Minerals (AIM: REM) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire interests in 5 claims (No's S111889 to S111893) in Saskatchewan, Canada . The claims are situated in the Mudjatik domain, an area which has seen several periods of intensive exploration activity and hosts many interesting mineral showings. The claims consist of 3 separate groups totaling approximately 4,855 hectares in area. They are located in north central Saskatchewan and range from 5 to 16 kilometres west of a major highway and power facilities.

Under its agreement with the individual vendors of the interest ('the Cup Lake Syndicate'), Rare Earth Minerals may earn up to a 51% interest in the above mentioned properties after having paid a cash settlement of $50,000 USD and incurring exploration expenditures of at least $30,000 within 3 months. The Cup Lake Syndicate will act as the operator of an initial sampling program and will produce a report within 30 days of completion of this program. After review of this report, Rare Earth Minerals may elect to further participate in the development of these properties on a pro rata basis or alternatively, to not participate, in which case interest will be reduced to zero.

The Cup Lake deal is the first Rare Earth Minerals investment since the Company shareholders resolved on the 29(th) November 2010 to adopt a change in investing policy to acquire a diverse portfolio of direct and indirect interests in exploration and producing Rare Earth Minerals and/or Metals projects and assets.

The agreement is conditional, inter-alia, on REM being satisfied with the title to the claims and the parties have agreed to use best efforts to have a final agreement confirming a closing date by 15 June 2011.

Background of the area;

During the 1950's exploration of was concentrated only on the accessible and mapped areas of the time. The focus was solely for uranium and was met with some success as uraninite showings were identified in numerous instances. In the 1960's exploration surged again, this time prospecting centered around the search for base metals and much of the area was flown with geophysical surveys. Drilling was undertaken and some anomalous nickel assays were obtained in core assays.

It was during these periods of exploration for other minerals that the potential for rare earth elements ("REE") was revealed. Monazite and allanite bearing porphyry dykes and irregular masses up to 30 feet wide were discovered, both have the potential for hosting heavy rare earth elements. Occurrences such as these suggest there may be sufficient mineralization in the area to support complex pegmatites hosting many types of rare earths. Drill and assay results

I wonder exactly what expertise the Directors and hangers-on posess? If they were really tallented, wouldn't they be working in a senior position for one of the majors?

Or were they drifing about from student-sit-ins and led a hippy lifestyle... only to awaken + reappear just at the time minerals have become a traded commodity?

I think the company name should be ****poles.

- but no doubt many have made money out of other so-called investors.

The stock is all-but-back to the launch price.

Made a fortune at christmas with this stock. Did not have anything to do with minerals at that time. Were they not a record company.

Nice candle.

Final Drill Results Mexico Lithium Project



Rare Earth Minerals (AIM: REM) has received final analytical results for drill core from its Fleur-El Sauz Lithium Project in northern Mexico. The results provide continued firm evidence that Fleur-El Sauz has potential to be part of a major high grade lithium discovery.



In addition to the assay results shown below, the Fleur - El Sauz deposits identified to date remain open on strike and at depth.



Highlights:



· REM intersects significant lithium values in both Upper Clay and Lower Clay Units in all drill holes of the first phase programme conducted at its Fleur - El Sauz Lithium Project.



· All ten diamond drill holes, ES-01 to ES-10, show a 4 kilometre strike length for the lithium clay units on the concessions.



· Intervals with significant lithium (greater than 1,000 ppm Li) average 18.27 metres and 27.62 metres in true thickness for the Upper and Lower Clay Units, respectively.



· Preparation of a maiden lithium resource estimate is now underway, with results from this study expected within the next several weeks.





David Lenigas, the Company's Chairman commented:



"REM is pleased to report that the final holes confirm the extension of mineralisation through the Fleur - El Sauz licences and increase the potential of outlining a new and substantial lithium deposit.



"The total known world resource of lithium metal is estimated to be only just over 30 million tonnes, with total world annual production expected to rise from the current 150,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent ("LCE") to 300,000 tonnes by 2020. The majority of current world production is based on brine pumping from Salars in South America, and deposits in China and Australia.



"Lithium is an important metal in today's quest for energy and energy storage solutions, for example in the fast-growing electric car market. To be part of this discovery is a very exciting prospect for the Company. The substantial amount of lithium-bearing clays present also represents an interesting opportunity for supply to the oil industry since these clays are becoming increasingly necessary for HTHP drilling muds now being used in deep oil and gas wells and for fracking.



"We are very pleased with the lithium grades obtained to date and widths of intercepts of the clay units in the holes. These results continue to demonstrate the persistence of the lithium-bearing clay units onto the joint venture lands and highlight the potential for a significant lithium resource to be outlined. The results from drilling are consistent with the mineralisation in the adjoining La Ventana deposit to the north-west. REM's management expects to provide an initial resource estimate within the next several weeks."



"REM will have 14 days after receipt of the initial resource estimate from Bacanora Minerals Ltd. ("Bacanora") to give final notice to increase its holding from 10% to 30% of the Fleur-El Sauz Joint Venture, under existing agreements with Bacanora."

Highlights:

· REM intersects significant lithium values in both Upper Clay and Lower Clay Units in all drill holes of the first phase programme conducted at its Fleur - El Sauz Lithium Project.

· All ten diamond drill holes, ES-01 to ES-10, show a 4 kilometre strike length for the lithium clay units on the concessions.

· Intervals with significant lithium (greater than 1,000 ppm Li) average 18.27 metres and 27.62 metres in true thickness for the Upper and Lower Clay Units, respectively.

SP reacting nicely this morning

SP still looking strong....

fantastic day

atb

On the cusp of a golden cross - although now quite a gap!

1.2B shares traded, fantastic rise. I've only looked at REM today so not in, but well done gibby, skyhigh and co.
2517

Well done to all in here. :-))

Yes, well done chaps.

Well done you folks out there who had the courage to invest - I didn't think anyone had any time for David Lenigas however some must have faith and hope they keep going up for you all.

keeeeeep ramping!!

Who is ramping? - not I - I just made a comment and I really mean well done those who have had the courage to invest. Final comment - over the years not many on this site would have had anything to do with anything David Lenigas was associated with so what has changed? Amen. I am not a ramper, just a thicko who used to enjoy making a few pounds here and there on the quiet until things - economy etc., went tits up. Me as well as it seems these days but at least they are still on my chest. Good night. Why do people always have to be cynical? No need.

Possibly not too late to tuck a few in your portfolio 3m. 'Finger in many pies Lenigas' might be on to a seriously nice winner here! Still speculative I assume, but one has to speculate to accumulate I am told!

Next Wed. a deal from Halifax share dealing so may have a little look between 12-2.00 p.m. me thinks. Speculate to accumulate being the operative work. Who knows. You never told me Kim how your son got on in the tank he courageously dived in for charity. Hope all is well.

Good luck with that 3m!

It was my son-in-law who threw himself into the tank at the mercy of several sharks and various other fishy things! Despite looking somewhat nervous to begin with, he actually enjoyed the experience and would possible do it again! Between the dive and an evening of music and entertainment in Liverpool he, with his family, raised over £4,000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, a very worthy cause which I will shamelessly promote here:-

top sliced some profits yesterday...rude not to...bought some more COMS with the proceeds but still have a sizable holding in REM....all looking good.. exciting times!

thanks dc, 3ms, doodle - another good day :-0

Let us hope so. Well done to kims son-in-law and family. Being a recent heart attack patient and having possible/probable other problems, admiration to all who give their time and courage helping others.

if interested rrr is due an imminent rns which will have similar affect to rem

I know rrr isn't everyones idea of an ideal share but news is imminent the Greenland deal (& others) is proceeding according to mr bell by the end of august - expect 50 to 200% rise at rrr shortly

Increase in ownership of Mexico Lithium Project

Increase in ownership of the Mexico Lithium Project to 30%


Rare Earth Minerals (AIM: REM) has formally advised Bacanora Minerals Ltd ("Bacanora") that it is exercising its Option under the formal Joint Venture Agreement to move to 30% ownership of the Fleur-El Sauz Lithium Project in northern Mexico.

Under the formal Agreement, REM will now pay Bacanora US$500,000 and commit to spending US$1 million on further exploration and drilling expenses over the next 6 months.

REM still has a first right of refusal, under the agreement, to negotiate terms with Bacanora to increase its holding in the Joint Venture to 49.9%.

cheers skinny - I hope you did well here

Yes thanks - I can eat for the next month or two! :-)

Go on lol your the richest man on here. :-))

I wish!

i'm afraid this is a classic pump and dump...back down to 0.15p soon...you see a company like victoria oil has fantastic reserves and now producing gas yet is at an all time low...so what chance will REM have of maintaining this rise? absolutely zilch chance...its all froth and no beer...get out while you can!

MY ADVICE IS INVEST IN VOG...A REAL COMPANY,WITH REAL ASSETS AND PRODUCING LOADS OF GAS AND AT AN ALL TIME LOW...YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE

Sharp rise in sp in the morning according to the 'experts' on the other bbs!

Mexico Lithium Project Maiden Resource Estimate

Rare Earth Minerals (AIM: REM) is pleased to announce that the first 10 diamond drill holes at the Fleur-El Sauz Lithium Project in northern Mexico have identified an estimated resource of 1,782,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent ("LCE") at a cut-off of 1,000 ppm Li, within the 191 million tonnes of clays drilled over an initial 4 kilometres strike length, as a maiden estimated inferred resource compliant with the NI 43-101, CIM standard.

REM has at present a 10% interest in the Fleur-El Sauz Project, and as previously announced has given notice to its joint venture partner Bacanora Minerals Ltd. ("Bacanora") to increase its interest to 30%, implying inferred LCE resources at a cut-off of 1,000 ppm attributable to REM of 178,200 tonnes and 534,600 tonnes LCE respectively.

With Lithium Carbonate currently trading around US$5,000 - 6,000 a tonne, this resource estimate implies a potentially significant in-ground value. Further drilling over the next 6 months is planned to test for further resources, as the Lithium bearing clays in the deposit identified to date remain open on strike to the south and to depth, down dip to the east.

Highlights:

· Inferred resources of 1,782,000 tonnes of LCE from 153,806,000 tonnes (with a lower cut grade of 1,000 ppm Lithium)
· Inferred resources of 1,486,000 tonnes of LCE from 88,271,000 tonnes (with a lower cut grade of 2,000 ppm Lithium)
· Plans for stage 2 drilling with the objective of extending the resource will be announced in a further news release once the new programme is finalised.

I failed to get filled earlier @2.25p which is Bl@@dy annoying.

Damn near impossible to sell..wanted to top slice abit... will try again later..let's see where the SP settles!

Managed to sell some and have gone into Rose & ECR

Still have some REM... will see how they run for a while

maestro - lol - sure glad I took no notice of your deramping posts yesterday lol!!

why is my broker [TD] trying to sell at .954p when they showing a bid of 1p? cheating swine!!!
edited as got decimal point in wrong place

yet another GODOY share!

lol h...

Mercurial AIM entrepreneur David Lenigas claims his new venture Rare Earth Minerals (down 16 per cent today to 1p) is teaching market makers a lesson as it continues to make fast paced gains - rising to as high as 1.4p from just 0.6p as recently as August 12.

The move has been driven by the emergence of the Fleur-El Sauz lithium project in Mexico, which is quickly being established as a significant new deposit.

Drilling began at Fleur-El Sauz back in May, results earlier this month were positive and now, this week, a maiden resource estimate was unveiled.

This initial estimate of 1.78million tonnes of lithium carbonate the in-the-ground value, assuming current prices, comes in just under the $10billion (£6.45billion) marker.

There is clearly still a long way to go as plenty more drilling will be required and the precise machinations of extracting the lithium from the Mexican clays has yet to be determined.

Nevertheless Lenigas was in bullish mood as he took to Twitter this morning in the wake of the estimate’s release, telling his followers: 'Yesterday's news on REM was hopefully just the beginning. The next drilling programme will be underway shortly.'

Mexico Lithium Project Update

Rare Earth Minerals (AIM: REM) is pleased to announce that the larger Stage 2 drilling programme on the Joint Venture Lands ("JV Lands" or "Project", i.e. Fleur-El Sauz concessions) in northern Mexico is due to start at the end of this week.

David Lenigas, the Company's Chairman, commented:

"The start of the Stage 2 exploration programme represents a busy period for the Company. We are expecting the technical report documenting the maiden lithium resource, in compliance with Canada's NI 43-101F1, to be filed on SEDAR within the next two weeks "

Stage 2 Drilling Programme:

The drilling contractors have now prepared the access roads and drill pads for 24 new drill holes. Drill crew and equipment are being mobilised this week to commence the larger Stage 2 drilling programme on the JV Lands on 6 October 2013.

The prime focus for the Joint Venture partners for the Stage 2 exploration programme on the JV Lands is to significantly expand the global lithium resource, assess the metallurgy and recovery options and provide a realistic and meaningful economic assessment of the potential commercial value of this deposit.

The drilling is designed to not only infill the known mineralisation into better defined categories under the NI 43-101 reporting standards, but is also designed to test for extensions of the deposit, both down dip to the east and along strike to the south, as the deposit remained open in both of these directions. Recent surface mapping has identified further potential to extend the lithium-bearing clays by approximately 2km along strike to the south-east from the previously identified mineralisation and some of this potential will be tested in the upcoming drill programme.
Qualified Person's Statement:

Information in this announcement relates to information compiled by Carl G Verley, P.Geo, a consultant to the Company, who is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia and is a Qualified Person with respect to the information disclosed herein.

Mexico Lithium Project - NI43-101 Technical Report

Mexico Lithium Project - NI43-101 Technical Report


Rare Earth Minerals (AIM: REM) announces that the Company's Joint Venture Partner Bacanora Minerals Ltd ("Bacanora") has filed the Technical Report ("Report") on the maiden estimated resource in respect of the Fleur and El Sauz concessions ("Concessions") that form part of the Sonora Lithium Project in northern Mexico.

The Report, in compliance with the recognised Canadian Security Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 and CIM guidelines for reporting resources and reserves, has been filed by Bacanora on SEDAR and is also available for download on the Company's website at www.rareearthmineralsplc.com.

The total inferred Lithium Carbonate Equivalent ("LCE") resources at a cut-off of 2,000 ppm lithium on the Fleur-El Sauz Project is 1,486,000 tonnes LCE from 88,271,000 tonnes of clay at an average grade of 1.68% LCE. REM has at present a 30% interest in the Fleur-El Sauz Project, implying REM's share of the estimated inferred resource is 445,800 tonnes of LCE.

The initial inferred lithium resources for the Concessions apply a cut-off of 2,000 ppm Li for the combined Upper and Lower Clay Units. The Upper Clay Unit has an inferred Li resource estimated at 20,060,000 tonnes averaging 2,748 ppm Li (1.46% LCE) and the Lower Clay Unit has an inferred Li resource estimated at 68,211,000 tonnes averaging 3,278 ppm (1.75% LCE).

The recently completed drilling campaign on the Concessions tested a 4 kilometre strike length of the lithium-bearing volcanic-sedimentary succession, which remains open down dip and to the east as well as on strike to the south. A relatively high-grade portion of the deposit underlies the northern 2.7 kilometres of the area tested and, at a cut-off of 3,000 ppm Li, contains 53,929,000 tonnes averaging 3,922 ppm Li (2.09% LCE).

In addition, other potentially valuable alkali metals and alkali earth metals, such as potassium, cesium, rubidium and strontium show marked anomalism in the clays that host the lithium and are being investigated to determine if they will add further value to the deposit.

Further drilling has commenced to test for additional resources, as the Lithium bearing clays in the deposit identified to date remain open on strike to the south and to depth, down dip to the east.

Mexico Lithium Project - Update Stage 2 Drilling

Rare Earth Minerals PLC (AIM: REM) announces that the first hole of a scheduled 24 hole second phase of diamond drilling (Stage 2 Programme) has been successfully completed and identified 59 metres of the same clay formation previously encountered during Phase one drilling on the El Sauz and Fleur Lithium concessions (the "Concessions" or individually, a "Concession") in northern Mexico.
David Lenigas, Rare Earth Minerals Chairman commented:
"The Company is very pleased to have started the second stage of drilling on this Lithium Project and that the first hole has successfully intersected the same sequence of clay down dip from the previously identified lithium-bearing clays. With drill and assay results from the expanded programme, it is expected the new data will provide further evidence that the concessions host a new, large lithium resource."
Update:
The diamond drill under contract from Godbe Drilling of Colorado, USA has completed the first hole of this campaign (ES-11) approximately 200 metres northeast of hole ES-01 and within 20 metres of the boundary with the neighbouring La Ventana concession to the north. It was drilled to a total depth of 258.16 metres and intersected a 35 metre interval of the upper clay unit and a 24 metre interval of the lower clay unit. The estimated true thickness of the upper clay is 33 metres and that for the lower clay is 22.5 metres. The preliminary log of the main units intersected in ES-11 is tabulated below.

The result of the first hole successfully demonstrates continuity of the clay units to depth down dip of the previously drilled resource and this new mineralisation will add to the overall resource once assays confirm the quantities of Lithium in the clay. A full suite of analytical results for lithium and other alkali metals and alkali earth metals from drill core samples are expected over the coming weeks.

Oct 24 (Reuters) - Greenland's parliament voted on Thursday to end a decades-long prohibition on mining for radioactive materials like uranium, further opening up the country to investors from Australia to China eager to tap its vast mineral resources.

The move will not only allow the mining of uranium deposits, but also of rare earths, minerals used in 21st century products from wind turbines to hybrid cars and smart phones and that are currently mostly extracted by China.

Greenland Government Policy Update

David Lenigas, REM's Executive Chairman, stated:

"REM has a number of approved Exploration Licences that should benefit significantly from this new Greenland Government decision, in particular the 38 square kilometer Exploration Licence 2013/20 which was recently granted by the Greenland Government on the 10 September 2013. This Licence immediately adjoins the north eastern boundary is the large Kvanefjeld rare earth element, uranium and zinc deposit."

"A decision like this automatically accelerates foreign direct investment in to mineral and metal exploration in Greenland. REM will now work closely with its geological consultants, SRK Consulting, to accelerate the search for rare earth elements on its concessions."

REM owns concessions immediately adjacent to and surrounding Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited's ("GGG") Kvanefjeld Project (rare earth elements, uranium, zinc). The global resource base (JORC-code compliant) established by GGG for Kvanefjeld is said to contain 575 Mlb's U3O8 and 10.3 Mt of rare earth oxide (REO).

Significant Lithium Recoveries from Mexico

Rare Earth Minerals PLC (AIM: REM) is pleased to announce a potentially significant development in the advancement of the Sonora Lithium Project in northern Mexico, of which REM has a 30% direct interest in the Fleur-El Sauz Concessions of the Project and an economic interest of 31.5% due to REM's direct 2.2% shareholding in Bacanora Minerals Ltd ("Bacanora"). Bacanora has released the results of the preliminary metallurgical testing, the full text of which follows at the end of this announcement.
David Lenigas, Rare Earth Minerals Chairman commented:
"The metallurgical recoveries announced by Bacanora, of up to 90.4% of Lithium Carbonate from the initial independent test work on their section of the Sonora Lithium Project's clays, are potentially economically significant to REM and this bench scale work shows categorically that Lithium can be extracted from this large Lithium Clay deposit."
"The high recoveries of Lithium Carbonate demonstrate that Lithium from the La Ventana section of the Sonora deposit is indeed soluble and indicate that Lithium Carbonate can be produced from the resulting solution. The Company looks forward to working with our Joint Venture partner in advancing efforts to achieve a commercial grade lithium product as well as investigating the recovery of other alkali metal compounds contained within the deposit".
Metallurgical test work has begun at the Metallurgical Division of Inspectorate Exploration and Mining Services Ltd of Richmond, Canada on samples from the southern extension of the La Ventana deposit on the Fleur-El Sauz concessions that form part of the Bacanora / REM Joint Venture Lands. Further details on the test work are available from Bacanora's Press release 4/11/2013.

A new joint venture ("JV #2") with Bacanora Minerals Ltd ("Bacanora") has been entered in to that covers these new discoveries and increases concessions under both joint ventures by over 1,880% from 5,325 hectares to 100,140 hectares (247,451 acres).

David Lenigas, the Company's Chairman commented:

"REM now has a direct interest in a quarter of a million acres of high prospective ground for lithium and potentially other valuable metals."

The new concessions cover strategic ground surrounding the entire Sonora Lithium Project, where lithium-bearing clay units have now been identified at surface in 4 parallel and arcuate north-westerly trending sequences that are estimated to extend for at least 40 kilometres in strike length. Reconnaissance work by Bacanora has identified clay units on the new concessions where surface samples of the clays have analysed up to 1,350 parts per million lithium.

The JV is preparing to initiate the first stage of an exploration program on the new concession, consisting of geological mapping, surface rock sampling and identification of lithium drill targets.

REM has agreed the new JV #2 deal with Bacanora on:

· The new Megalit concession staked by Bacanora totals approximately 94,815 hectares (234,291 acres) in area and is contiguous with and surrounds the entire Sonora Lithium Project in northern Mexico.
· Bacanora's key and strategic 1,500 hectare San Gabriel and 649 hectare Buenavista concessions which immediately joins their La Ventana deposit.
The key terms of the additional concessions package deal (JV #2) with Bacanora are:

· REM is to acquire an initial 10% interest in the additional concessions package by paying Bacanora $250,000 and spending $500,000 on exploration and drilling over a 12 month period.

· After the first 12 month period, REM then has the right, at its election, to increase that interest in the additional concessions package to 30% by paying Bacanora another $500,000 and spending a further $1,000,000 on drilling and exploration over a further 12 month period.

REM will have an exclusive right of first refusal to further negotiate terms to increase the interest in the additional concessions package to a maximum of 49.9%, provided the terms comply with the Company's stated investment strategy. This right of first refusal will expire on 1 December 2015.

Qualified Person's Statement:

Mexico Lithium Project

Mexico Lithium Project - First Results Stage 2 Drilling confirms thickness and grades
Rare Earth Minerals PLC (AIM: REM) announces that it has received analytical results for the first 6 holes of the second phase of diamond drilling (Stage 2 Programme) onthe El Sauz and Fleur Lithium concessions (the "Concessions" or individually, a "Concession") in northern Mexico.
David Lenigas, Rare Earth Minerals Chairman commented:
"The Company is very pleased to have confirmed continuity of the clay units between holes. The results demonstrate excellent consistency in thickness of the clay units and grade of lithium within the clays."
"Reiterating Bacanora's President views of the new drilling results so far; these step-out and infill holes demonstrate an increase in thickness of the upper clay unit as well as an increase in grade of Li within the clays when compared to previously reported results."

Update:

Significant lithium-bearing intervals were intersected in all of the drill holes. The weighted average values for these intercepts are listed below (Table 1).

The first 6 holes of Stage 2 tested, by way of infill and step out holes between the first 5 holes of Stage 1, a strike length of 2,100 metres of the clay units south from the southern boundary of the La Ventana concession across the Fleur and onto the El Sauz concession. Within the area drilled, the average intercept length for the Upper Clay Unit was 35.841 metres (33.69 m estimated true thickness2) and 27.373 metres (25.73 m estimated true thickness) for the Lower Clay Unit. The average length of sample intervals in the Upper Clay is 1.47 metres and Li values range from 27 to 5,910 ppm Li, averaging 1,404 ppm Li for individual samples. For the Lower Clay Unit the average length of sample intervals is 1.49 metres and Li values in individual core samples range from 1,250 to 9,660 ppm Li, averaging 4,177 ppm Li.

the start of a rally now?

Sonora Lithium Project - Update

Rare Earth Mineral Plc (AIM: REM) is pleased to announce Bacanora Minerals Limited ("Bacanora") has reported significant lithium results from 5 recently completed holes drilled into the lower clay unit on the La Ventana concession (the "Concession") in northern Mexico. The Bacanora news release is shown in full below.

The La Ventana Concession is owned 100% by Bacanora and is the north eastern extension of the Fleur-El Sauz lithium resource. REM has increased its shareholding in Bacanora to 5.47% after additional on market share purchases costing £80,000. This interest, when aggregated with REM's 30% direct interest in the Fleur- El Sauz Joint Venture, results in a total economic interest in the Fleur- El Sauz Lithium Joint Venture in northern Mexico with Bacanora of approximately 33.8%.

The 5 holes were drilled in order to upgrade the lithium resource in the up-dip section of the lower clay unit on the Concession. Within the 3.5 kilometre exposure of clays on the Concession, a strike length of 2.4 kilometres of the lower clay unit was tested during the recent program. Within the area drilled, the lower clay unit ranges from 16.92 to 26.21 metres in intercept length, averaging 19.57 metres (18.4 m estimated true thickness1). The weighted average of lithium values in samples taken across the intercepts range from 1,377 to 5,809 ppm Li (0.73 to 3.09% LCE2).

Final Results

A Transformational Year

The last financial year has been a transformational one for Rare Earth Minerals Plc ("REM") following our significant investment in the Fleur and El Sauz Lithium Project in northern Mexico - in which we have built a 33.8% economic interest. It is one of the new more significant lithium discoveries in the world in recent years. As at today's date, and as we embark on a continued growth phase for the Company, we are in the strongest financial position in the Company's recent history with cash and assets held for resale at our disposal of approximately £8 million.

Successful First Phase of Drilling at Lithium Project

Our joint venture with Bacanora Minerals Limited of Canada ("Bacanora") has so far successfully delineated 1.48 million tonnes of Lithium Carbonate from the first phase of drilling from clay deposits on the concessions. REM is optimistic of significant increases in this resource once the results are available from the completed second phase of drilling.

Increased Stake in Lithium Joint Venture Partner in Mexico

Not only has REM's management been working tirelessly with Bacanora on the Fleur and El Sauz concessions, but we have also increased our footprint in the Sonora Province by acquiring 5.45% of the shares in Bacanora. We have also signed the important second joint venture with our partner on the surrounding 200,000 acre Megalit concession, where we see potential for significantly increasing drill-defined lithium resources this year.

Activity and Updates Expected in the Coming Months

Over the past twelve months, we have published more than twenty updates or drilling reports on our Mexican project. We now look forward in 2014 to the Sonora Lithium Project, of which the Fleur and El Sauz concessions comprise the bulk of the identified lithium resources, gaining international recognition as a potential, meaningful supplier to the world lithium market. This will be aided by the publication of upgraded lithium resources, detailed metallurgical analyses and publication for the first time of the Project's potential economics.

Pursuing Our Stated Strategy

To reflect the potential of the Sonora Lithium Project, REM intends to continue with its stated strategy of increasing its holdings in both Bacanora and the Project itself.

We also expect to maintain the Company's efforts in both Greenland and Australia where we have important exploration targets.

Strong Long-Term Outlook

Your board believes that the long-term outlook for the Company is strong, particularly in light of the recent world focus on lithium demand which was highlighted by Tesla Motors' announcement of plans to build a US$5 billion Lithium Ion battery "gigafactory" in one the southern states of the USA in partnership with Panasonic.

Your board is, of course, duty bound to ensure that each set of drill results on our lithium project reflects the factual state of play at each reporting point. Beyond this, your board wishes to inform shareholders that it is very excited about the project's potential to eventually play a significant role in the global market for the supply of lithium. The board believes unequivocally that this project is of exceptional quality.

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the board to sincerely thank our staff, consultants and joint venture partners for their dedication this year and to thank our invested shareholders for their continued support.

No shortage of mugs on AIM.


Bacanora's choice of London also signifies a shift in mining investments away from typical Canadian markets and into Europe.

Mr Orr-Erwing explained: “One of the reasons why we are coming to the London market is that for two days after we announced we had produced battery-grade Lithium from our pilot plant not a single share on the Canadian market was bought or sold.

This was mind-blowing. So we thought it's really not worth hanging around here, and decided to list on AIM, and it will dual-list for the time being.

Plenty of press coverage this weekend.

The trouble is it's always after the event....always the same....any good share tips ?...only ones you already know about and established values !....

New Discovery of REE on Greenland Licences

Rare Earth Minerals Plc (AIM: REM) announces, further to its release on the 24 September 2014, that the analysis of samples taken during the recent exploration programme on its 100% owned Greenland exploration licenses has identified a new discovery of Rare Earth Elements ("REE") in southern Greenland near Narsarsuaq .

Highlights:

· 16 samples were re-submitted for full suite of REE analyses with results exceeding the Company's expectations.
· 5 of 16 samples exceeded 7,000 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides ("TREO") with a further two exceeding 2,000 ppm TREO, with the highest value being 18,179 ppm (1.82%).
· These results included three significant neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) assays which contained 2,928 ppm of Nd2O3.
· Samples were taken from the target area which previously reported mineralised samples of zinc, manganese, silver and gold.

Kiran Morzaria, the Company's Chief Executive Officer commented:

"The discovery of a new Rare Earth Element deposit east of the world class Kvanefjeld REE project is significant for REM. These assay results are orders of magnitude higher than those previously reported and are indeed higher than the reported resource grades on the nearby Tanbreez deposit. In addition some of these samples contain significant quantities of neodymium oxide, which is a critical rare earth oxide or CREO as defined by the US department of energy. This along with the proximity of these results to two of the world's largest REE deposits, is very encouraging indeed."

REE Sampling Results:

Exploration on REM's 100% owned 2012/14 licence, which straddles the contact of the Julianehåb Granite and the Eriksfjord Sandstone, initially showed anomalous zinc in pan concentrates to 1,580 ppm Zn. Lithological sampling in the Eriksfjord Sandstone located samples to 0.38% Zn in float, results that indicated more work was required in the area.

Follow up sampling located significant gold anomalism in veined sandstone with a sample grading 2.59g/t Au and anomalous silver in some of the lithological samples (1.2-6.2 ppm Ag).

Samples taken in the area known to contain mineralisation of up to 0.3% Zn and 2% manganese, returned REE results that were above the detection limit of 500 ppm for Cerium and Niobium, as a result 16 samples were resubmitted for a full suite of REE analysis.

We are reporting today on the analytical results of these 16 samples. Five samples exceeded 7,000 ppm of TREO with the highest being 18,179 ppm TREO. Three samples, one at 9,240 ppm TREO, the second at 9,148 ppm TREO and the third at 18,179 ppm contained Nd2O3 of 1,540 ppm, 1,446 ppm and 2,928 ppm respectively.

The analysis was carried out on outcrop, sub crop and float samples, we are now compiling and interpreting all the results from the programme to determine the scope of further field work, and in particular determine a possible source for the highly anomalous REE results reported on today.

Qualified Person:

Qualified Person Kiran Morzaria B.Eng. (ACSM), MBA, has reviewed and approved the information contained in this announcement. Kiran holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Industrial Geology) from the Camborne School of Mines and an MBA (Finance) from CASS Business School.

Sonora Lithium Project expanded

Sonora Lithium Project expanded with new drilling discovery.

Rare Earth Minerals Plc (London AIM: REM) is pleased to announce the results of the successful drilling campaign on the southern 3 km of an estimated 6 km strike extent of lithium bearing clays on the Buenavista Project ("Buenavista"). The exploration programme targeted a new and previously untested deposit type in the Sonora Lithium Project, which is thought to be of fluvial origin and eroded from a primary lithium source, as opposed to the types of deposits previously drilled at the Sonora Lithium Project in northern Mexico. The results confirm significant thicknesses of lithium bearing clays, very close to surface, at greater than 1,000 ppm Lithium values.

David Lenigas, the Company's Chairman, commented:

"These drilling results from Buenavista are highly encouraging, especially given the geological simplicity of the deposit and the minimal overburden which overlies the lithium, both of which would serve to reduce the potential mining costs of such a deposit. Moreover the results prove that there are other continuous lithium deposits within the Sonora Lithium Project, which will add to the already substantial Indicated Lithium Resources of 3.28 million tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent ("LCE") already defined at La Ventana, Fleur and El Sauz."

Highlights of Drill Results

· 24 reverse circulation holes tested approximately half of the 6 km strike length of the lithium-bearing clays exposed at Buenavista.
· The lithium-bearing clays outcrop at surface and dip gently to the east, providing a target for potential open pit mining with a minimal strip ratio.
· Significant lithium values (i.e. greater than 1,000 ppm Li) were found in 13 of the 24 holes.
· Of those 13 holes, 11 reported significant thicknesses and grades of lithium-bearing clays, as tabulated below in Table 1.
· Lithium values of individual 1.0 metre samples, within the significant intervals, range from 336 to 2,210 ppm Li.

Update in Lithium Resources for the Sonora Lithium Project.

Rare Earth Minerals Plc (LSE AIM: REM)) is pleased to announce a substantial increase in the Mineral Resource for the Sonora Lithium Project in the northern Mexico in which it holds an interest though its 15.4% holding in Bacanora Minerals Ltd ('Bacanora') and the joint ventures interest of 30% in each of Megalit S.A. de CV and Mexalit S.A. de CV as more fully described below. The combined Sonora Lithium Project now has an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"), which has more than doubled the contained metal and has identified a further exploration target which have the potential to add a further 2.4 to 4.6 million tonnes ("Mt") of lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE"). The MRE was carried out by SRK Consulting (UK) Limited ("SRK"), an independent consultant.

· Indicated portion of the MRE is gross 1.12 million Mt LCE contained in 95 Mt of clay, at lithium ("Li") grade of 2,200 ppm.

· Inferred portion of the MRE is gross 6.3 Mt LCE contained in 500 Mt of clay at a Li grade of 2,300 ppm.

· Maiden MRE declared for Megalit of gross 0.9 Mt LCE contained in 50 Mt of clay.

· Conceptual extensions within current pit shell have the potential to add 2.4 to 4.6 Mt LCE1 contained in 300 to 250 Mt of clay at a Li grade of approximately 1,500 to 2,500 ppm.

· This MRE (which has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101")) does not include identified grade and tonnages contained within the Buenavista concession, as further metallurgical testing is required on this deposit; and

Results for the year ended 31 December 2014

The Company is pleased to announce its final results for the year ended 31 December 2014. A copy of these results will be made available on the Company's website from today.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

It has been a year of strong and positive progress at the Company.

The Company continues to pursue its strategy of investing in direct and indirect stakes in the Lithium and Rare Earth Minerals resource sector, and has acquired significant stakes in a diverse set of projects, which potentially represent world-class assets in these sectors.

Our two key main investments, the Sonora Lithium Project ("Sonora") in Mexico - which include the La Ventana, Megalit, El Sauz / Fleur group of concessions - and the Yangibana Rare Earth Project in Australia have advanced rapidly over the period, developing resources that are respectively 226% and 230% larger than previously reported. Both these projects continue to make good progress towards full commercialisation.

Corporately, REM continued to increase its strategic holdings in its Mexican joint venture partner, Bacanora Minerals Limited ("Bacanora"), where the board sees exceptional future potential value as Sonora continues to expand. REM will seek to increase its direct shareholding in Bacanora further from the current 16.41% as opportunities arise. REM has also taken a 3.05% stake in Western Lithium USA Corporation to gain exposure to the other main clay-based lithium deposit in the Americas.

Global demand for both lithium and rare earth elements continues to rise and the Company will continue to pursue further investments in this sector.

Corporate Activity since the year end

Key points:

· The Sonora projects now show a combined indicated and inferred LCE resource of 7.42m tonnes and is advancing its fully funded Pre-Feasibility Study

· Further encouraging drilling results have been produced at La Ventana and El Sauz / Fleur portion of Sonora

· £2.5m was raised via a share placing with an institutional investor

· REM's direct equity stake in Bacanora Minerals has been increased from 12% to 16.41%

· The board of Bacanora now includes two REM directors and Andrew Suckling, a highly experienced commodity fund manager, has been appointed to the REM board

· The Yangibana project in Australia, in which REM has a 30% free carry, has been progressed rapidly with several updates

· Western Lithium, in which REM has a 3.05% stake, has produced its first high purity lithium from its demonstration plant

· REM acquired a 6.65% equity interest in the Cinovec project in the Czech Republic, which is one of the largest lithium deposits in Europe.

if so, no wonder it stinks

surprised that no one here follow them?
do you know something that I don't know?

Not sure how much involvement David Lenigas still has here, he will claim he hasn't any of course! With it's fingers in a few pies the prospects for REM are not bad, still a speculative share but with the various projects moving forward the sp may well follow, as it is doing today.

Rare Earth Minerals Plc Update on Macarthur Minerals

Rare Earth Minerals Plc (AIM: REM; OTC: REMMY)) is pleased to report that Macarthur Minerals ("Macarthur") in which REM owns a 15.5% shareholding, has announced that it has acquired a lithium Project in Nevada, USA. The full Macarthur announcement can be found at:
http://web.tmxmoney.com/article.phpnewsid=4701858674995706&qm_symbol=MMS

Macarthur Minerals Limited (TSX VENTURE: MMS) (the "Company" or "Macarthur Minerals") is pleased to announce that it has entered the United States lithium supply sector through an agreement to acquire the Stonewall Project in Nevada, which is prospective for lithium ("Stonewall Project"). The Stonewall Project covers an area of approximately 5,700 acres (23 km2) and the majority of a Salt Lake Playa in Nevada's Lida Valley Basin, the adjacent basin to the Clayton Valley Basin, which hosts the United States' only producing lithium mine. The Stonewall Project is considered essentially "drill ready" and a United States mineral exploration company is being engaged to undertake a shallow drilling program for due diligence purposes.

David Taplin, President, CEO and Director of Macarthur Minerals commented:
"Acquisition of the Stonewall Project located in Nevada is an exciting opportunity for Macarthur Minerals as its entry into the United States lithium supply market. The Stonewall Project is strategically located 306 kilometres from Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada and is 48 kilometres from Albemarle's Silver Peak Lithium Mine, the only operating lithium mine in North America. The acquisition adds to Macarthur Minerals' extensive and highly prospective Western Australian 'hard rock' lithium exploration asset portfolio to give the Company a truly global lithium strategy."

Nice! :o)

Could well climb towards 2p again.

Rare Earth Minerals said Macarthur Minerals, in which it owns a 15.5% stake, has announced it has applied for an additional exploration licence in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Macarthur Minerals had applied for an additional exploration licence E45/4824, in the Pilbara region adjacent to its existing exploration licences E45/4708 and E45/4709, to extend the contiguous area to 367 square kilometres (90,687 acres).

The Company now has total tenement acreage under application in the Pilbara region of 1,449 square kilometres (358,055 acres), in addition to its Yalgoo, Edah Hill, Ravensthorpe, Sulphur Springs, Whim Creek interests in Western Australia and Nevada Stonewall interests in the United States of America.

Agreement to Acquire a Further Interest in Bacanora Minerals Ltd. and Corporate Update

merger rns just out - YUM!

gla

thought bacanora had kicked rem into touch
can't say i care much as won't go anywhere near anything tainted by lenigas

in contradiction of my previous post ......

i had a very interesting chat with a chap yesterday who was very knowledgeable indeed about this highly risky stock
notwithstanding the prior - i hope late - involvement with that crook david lenigas, lithium certainly has a very interesting and promising future
i believe REM has very significant holdings in the mines for this rare but very valuable commodity

overall, it may be worth buying a few and tucking them in the drawer for 2/3 years

Wow! Can I have some of whatever you are taking cynic?! :o) Undervalued stock at the moment but expect volatility until the lithium etc reaches the market. If it is still around in 2 years time, no reason why it shouldn't be, Tesla will be buying the processed lithium for sure.

why do you want "some of what i am taking"?
but yes, that elon musk connection is certainly part of the equation

Such a change of heart, oozing optimism on a gloomy Monday morning! Gimme some! :o)

i have yet to marry money with mouth :-)

You will probably have plenty of time to do so!

Drill Programme Update at Cinovec Project
Rare Earth Mineral Plc (AIM/ISDX: REM; OTC: REMMY) is pleased to report the analytical results for the confirmation drillholes CIW-13, CIW-14 and CIW-18 at the Cinovec Lithium-Tin-Tungsten Project ("the project" or "Cinovec"). REM holds a 17.64% economic interest in the project (increasing to 20.84% following the Annual General Meeting of EMH to approve a further investment by REM, as previously announced) through its direct equity stake in European Metals Holdings Limited ("EMH").

The full EMH announcement can be found at: http://europeanmet.com/assets/AIM_-_16_Nov_2016_-_Drill_Programme_Update.pdf .

Key Points:
· Analytical results for further three drillholes at Cinovec Main confirmed or exceeded the expected lithium content and mineralization widths.

· The best results are from CIW-14: 82 m averaging 0.48% Li2O, and 175m averaging 0.40%Li2O. The first interval includes high-grade intervals 4m@1.07%Li2O and 4m@1.58%Li2O. The mineralised intercepts are summarized in Tables that are part of this news release, below.

· Drilling continues in the western part of the Cinovec deposit (targeting high grade zones near the rhyolite/granite contact) and in the central part (targeting near-surface mineralization on the flanks of the historic underground mine).


These results and the previously announced drillholes will now be used to enable an interim update of the resource model to be completed. This resource is anticipated to be released in the next 2 weeks.

European Metals CEO Keith Coughlan said "I am very pleased to receive these results as it will allow us to now undertake an interim update of the resource model for the pre-feasibility study. The update is to be used in more detailed mine planning for the study as we expect a significant portion of the deposit to be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource status. I look forward to reporting this update in the next two weeks. In the meantime, drilling will continue to both expand the resource and increase its level of confidence to allow a further resource upgrade in the first half of 2017."

Indicated Lithium Resource at Cinovec Increased by 420%

Highlights:

· Lithium Indicated Resource increased 420% to 2.6 Mt LCE, contained in 232.8 Mt @ 0.45% Li2O (0.1% Li cutoff)

· Lithium Total Resource increased 11.8% to 6.46 Mt LCE, contained in 606.8 Mt @ 0.43% Li2O (0.1% Li cutoff)

· Tin Indicated Resource increased by 64% to 28.6 Mt @ 0.23% Sn, 0.54% Li2O (0.1% Sn cutoff) for 65.8 kt Sn, 0.38 Mt LCE

· Results from the drilling programme support the original Cinovec model. Management are confident that additional drilling will result in further significant resource upgrades.

· Lithium Exploration Target remains 350 to 450 Mt @ 0.39% to 0.47% for 3.4 Mt to 5.3 Mt of LCE.

Yangibana Update and Change of Name

Highlights
· Beneficiation continuous pilot plant testing has successfully validated the simple and effective flowsheet of Yangibana flotation process

· The pilot operation confirmed 70% TREO recovery at a final concentrate grade of 23% TREO.

· Ongoing improvement through optimised flotation circuit chemistry to further improve recovery to >80% at a higher TREO grade.

· Clear indication of progress from bench scale to commercial production.

· Successfully generated bulk samples for downstream engineering equipment design testwork

· Generated concentrate for next stage Hydrometallurgy pilot plant operation scheduled in March

Details of Ownership
On 1 December 2011, REM announced that it had acquired a 30% free carried interest to Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") of the Yangibana North Rare Earth Deposit. The exploration costs until the commencement of the BFS are therefore borne solely by Hastings Rare Metals Limited (70% owners and operator). The same terms agreed and announced on 1 December 2012 also apply to Gossan, Hook, Kanes Gossan, Lions Ear and Bald Hill North.

Change of Name
REM is in the process of changing its name to reflect it diversified holdings in the strategic technology materials sector. It is anticipated that this process will be complete by Monday 27 March 2017 at which point REM will become Cadence Minerals plc with the revised AIM ticker KDNC. A further announcement regarding the change of name will be made in due course.
