Rare Earth Metals Inc. ("Rare Earth Metals", "RA" or the "Company")
(TSX VENTURE:RA)(PINKSHEETS:RAREF)(OTCQX:RAREF) is pleased to
announce the first NI 43-101 compliant independent resource
estimate for the Two Tom REE - Niobium - Beryllium Deposit at the
Red Wine property, located approximately 110 kilometres northeast
of Churchill Falls in west central Labrador. The resource estimate
was prepared by Tetra Tech Wardrop (Tetra Tech) of Toronto, Ontario
who recommends that additional drilling be conducted to further
investigate and develop the known Two Tom deposit and determine
continuity of the mineralized syenite and REE-Nb-Be grades. RA is
earning a 100% interest in the Two Tom property which is subject to
two option agreements. The northwest half of the zone is optioned
from Zimtu Capital Corp. and the southeast half is optioned from
Roland and Eddie Quinlan.
Highlights:
-- 40.635 million tonnes grading at 1.18% total rare earth oxide (TREO),
0.26% Niobium Oxide (Nb205) and 0.18% Beryllium oxide (BeO) at a 0.60%
TREO cut-off grade in the inferred category
-- Neodymium content is 15.9% of the TREO
-- Calculation is based on over 5,140 m of drilling in 22 holes, and 4
trenches (44.2m), and 2,647 assay samples covering approximately 1,200
metres of strike length to an average depth 200 meters
-- Resource areas open along multiple directions and to depth
-- Additional drilling recommended for next phase of drilling
The Company presently has three advanced projects in Ontario and
Newfoundland and Labrador, exhibiting multi element potential
(REEs, Niobium, Beryllium, Zirconium and Iron Ore), and highly
favourable mineralogy for extractive metallurgical processing. 2011
has been a busy year for Rare Earth Metals with the completion of a
very successful drilling campaign (1.65% TREO over 90.2 metres and
1.51%TREO OVER 124 metres with the Neodymium percentage of these
particular drill holes at about 14% of the TREO - see previous
press release dated Sept 15, 2011) on its highly prospective
Springer - Lavergne prospect in the Sudbury Mining District of
Ontario, and the discovery of heavy rare earths (1.55% TREO with
HREO/TREO of 42.1% over 21.0 metres within a wider intersection of
1.11% TREO with HREO/TREO of 41% over 42.9 metres - see previous
press release dated Sept 6, 2011) on the Dory Pond prospect in the
new emerging Red Wine rare earth mineral belt of Labrador. On its
Clay Howells property a new resource estimate for its Clay Howells
deposit (8.5 Million Tonnes Averaging 0.73% TREO with 44.15% Fe2O3
- see previous press release dated Sept 27, 2011) was released.
Commented Mr. Michael Stares, President and CEO, "We are
extremely pleased with the results of Tetra Tech's evaluation which
gives us an excellent base to work from at the Red Wine Project. We
will continue to work with Tetra Tech and develop a drill program
to enhance the tonnage and grade of the deposit and to initiate
metallurgical work on the zone."
Mineral resources were modeled by Tetra Tech and reported at
eight different Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) cut-off grades, with
a base-case resource estimated using a TREO cut-off of 0.60%. At
this cut-off, Two Tom hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 40.6
million tonnes grading 1.18% TREO, .26% Nb205 and 0.18% BeO, with
6.0% of the TREO being the HREO (heavy rare earth oxides).

-- The resource estimate has been classified as an Inferred Resource based
on drill hole spacing and sample population
-- The effective date of the Resource Estimate is December 8, 2011
The Resource Estimate is based on:
-- A database of 26 drill holes totalling 5,518.65 m of diamond drilling;
of which 22 drill holes intersect the Two Tom deposit
-- Samples were composited on 3.0 m lengths.
-- Average specific gravity 2.85 g/cc
-- Geological models are constrained by two 0.5% TREO gradeshells.
-- Block model was estimated by Ordinary Kriging interpolation method on
blocks 25m x 25m x 10m. No recoveries have been applied to the
interpolated estimates.
