Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp. (TSX VENTURE: QRE)(OTCQX:
QREDF)(FRANKFURT: BR3) ("Quantum", the "Company") has announced
that President, CEO and Director Peter Dickie was interviewed by
CDTV.net, a New York-based financial network (www.cdtv.net). The
interview currently is available at
http://www.cdtv.net/users/content/niobium-market-quantum-rare-earth-ceo-qredfpk.
Quantum announced in May, 2010 that it acquired the Elk Creek
Carbonatite, through the acquisition of Elk Creek Resources Corp.,
a private Nebraska corporation which, through a series of
agreements, owns an option to acquire the mineral rights to the
project. Quantum's Elk Creek project, in southeastern Nebraska,
spans a distance of approximately five miles by five miles and has
seen extensive exploration by Molycorp in the 1970's and
1980's.
On February 22, 2011, Quantum reported that recent, preliminary
investigations indicate that niobium values within its Nebraska
project correlate well with the historic niobium values obtained by
Molycorp Inc. Additional analyses are expected to be available in
the next two to three weeks. Additional information on the Elk
Creek project is available on the Company's website
www.QuantumRareEarth.com/projects.html.
The results reported in 2011 will support a NI43-101 compliant
resource estimate and Technical Report by Wardrop Engineering,
which will be an independent review of niobium mineralization
within the historic resource area located within the Elk Creek
Carbonatite. In the CDTV interview, it was stated that additional
drilling is expected to take place soon to augment the historic
results. Specific information on the drilling program will be
announced shortly.
There are currently three primary producing niobium mines in
world: two in Brazil, which are privately owned, and one in Quebec,
Canada, which is owned by Iamgold. Niobium is used as a steel
hardener for high strength, low alloy steel, such as that used in
high-pressure gas pipelines. Other uses for niobium are for
creating "super alloys", used extensively in the aerospace and
defense industries, and for other products such as MRI machines.
The U.S. considers niobium to be a strategic metal, yet imports
100% of its niobium requirements for use in the steel industry and
for super alloys used by the aerospace sector.
On Behalf of the Board,
Peter Dickie, President
"Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services
Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or
accuracy of this release."
