Quest Rare Minerals Ltd. (TSX:QRM) (NYSE MKT:QRM) is pleased to announce that it
has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with TAM Ceramics Group
of NY, LLC ("TAM"), a leading U.S.-based marketer and manufacturer of zirconia
chemical products. The LOI specifies that TAM will agree to purchase from Quest
up to 24,000 tonnes of zirconia annually which Quest expects to mine from its
Strange Lake deposit, and that Quest will deal exclusively with TAM for the sale
of this quantity of product. This constitutes 100% of Quest's anticipated annual
zirconia production from Strange Lake.


The LOI also provides that TAM will coordinate with Quest to develop markets for
zirconia. 


The purchase and sale of zirconia contemplated by the LOI is subject to the
execution of a definitive agreement between Quest and TAM which will include,
among other things, the price of all zirconia to be sold and other material
terms and conditions of the transaction. Quest and TAM have agreed to negotiate
the definitive agreement in good faith, with a view to executing it as soon as
possible, but in any event no later than December 31, 2014. The LOI provides
that the definitive agreement will have an initial term of five years, with five
possible renewal terms of five years each, for a total potential contract term
of 30 years, covering the anticipated minimum 30-year production life for the
Strange Lake deposit.


"The signing of our first off-take LOI, in this case for all of our byproduct
zirconia, is a major milestone in the development of the Strange Lake deposit,"
said Peter Cashin, Quest's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe
that Strange Lake is a world-class asset that has the potential to produce a
substantial quantity of strategic materials that will be attractive to customers
around the globe. The LOI is the result of our continuing marketing efforts to
engage customers with whom we intend to develop lasting business relationships.
We view TAM's involvement with our Strange Lake project as a significant vote of
confidence in the considerable progress we have made in precipitating
chemical-grade zirconia product at our pilot plant. The LOI will allow us to
develop a partnership with a company that has many years of zirconium marketing
and manufacturing experience."


"TAM is excited about the opportunity to partner with Quest to commercialize
significant quantities of zirconium-based materials, such as zirconium chemical
products and high-purity zirconia, into the global market," said George Bilkey,
TAM's President. "These zirconium-based derived materials are an excellent
complement to TAM's 80-year global zircon and zirconia business. We very much
look forward to working with the Quest team."
