Ditem (TSX VENTURE:DIT) is pleased to announce the results of the laboratory
analysis of rock samples taken during the July/August exploration program on the
Lalande property. A total of 173 rock samples (all saw cut, 20 cm x 20 cm x 5
cm) from four different sectors of the Lalande property were analysed and
returned grades of up to 6.73% total rare earth oxides (TREO) including yttrium
oxide. Of the 173 samples, 77 were taken in the central section of the permit (A
Zone) where two important mineralized surface showings are located.


The two major surface showings of the A zone, measuring about 350m x 100 m and
250m x 80m, are characterized by high grades of up to 5.6% and 6.13% TREO, with
a cut-off of 1.0% TREO. Although these two surface showings are separated by
overburden, they may well constitute one larger zone. Significant marketable
light and heavy rare earth oxides (LHREO) returned grades of up to 13840 ppm
(1.4%) La2O3, 3919 ppm (0.4%) Pr2O3, 13875 ppm (1.4%) Nd2O3, 1423 ppm (0.14%)
Dy2O3, 18 ppm (0.002%) Eu2O3, 177 ppm (0.02%) Tb2O3 and 10515 ppm (1.05%) Y2O3.
Other mineralized showings found in the area had grades of up to 6.73% TREO.


The 2011 geological survey results indicate that rare earth occurrences are
associated with garnet-bearing biotite and monazite-rich pegmatite. Pegmatite
bodies are located at the contact between metasedimentary rocks and granitic
intrusions. Preliminary geological data suggest that rare earth occurrences of
the Lalande property could be related to rare earth element (REE)-bearing
pegmatite deposits associated with igneous complexes. In northern Quebec, Quest
Minerals Strange Lake deposit with an indicated resource of 36.4 Mt at 1.16%
TREO on the B Zone, is an example of such REE - bearing mineral deposits.


The Lalande property contains 162 map designated Ditem claims covering 8910
hectares (89.1km2). It is located 12 km northwest of the town of La Romaine,
situated on the North Shore Region of the St. Lawrence River. The town of La
Romaine (Unamen Shipu, in Innu), with a population of more than 1,000, has both
airport and port facilities. An all-season road (the 138) from Sept-Iles to La
Romaine, presently under construction, is now past Natashquan and should be
completed to La Romaine (and close to the property) in 2016, adding a
significant infrastructural advantage to the Lalande property. 


"We were convinced that there would be interesting showings on Lalande and we
are pleased to confirm both higher grades and larger mineralized zones," said
Mr. Raymond Savoie, Chairman and CEO of Ditem. "Drilling as soon as possible on
the Lalande property is proposed in order to establish the grades and depth of
the mineralised zones.
