Seymour Ventures' (TSX VENTURE: SEY)(FRANKFURT: 3CK1)(WKN: A1C08G) wholly owned subsidiary Rare Earth Industries Ltd. (REI) is pleased to announce that it has commenced the exploration work program on the Mt. Bisson and Xeno rare earth properties, located in the Omineca Mining Division, approximately 50 kilometers NW of Mackenzie in central BC. REI has the right to earn a 60% interest in the properties from Paget Minerals by spending $1,050,000 over three years to develop the property, including $350,000 in 2011.

The initial discovery of rare earth element mineralization on the Mount Bisson property was made by Halleran in 1986 with total rare earth element (TREE) contents as high as 13.5 wt.% in grab samples from the Laura occurrence. Recent exploration conducted on the property by Paget Minerals, from 2007-2010, has confirmed the historical exploration, revealing the widespread dissemination of various rare earth bearing minerals including allanite, titanite, apatite and rare-earth element-bearing epidote.

The lithochemical sampling programs of Paget Minerals, which amassed more than 100 grab samples, resulted in discovery of high grade REE mineralization at a new occurrence where 8.64 wt.% TREE was documented in a August 25, 2010 news-release of Paget:

However, it is cautioned that the QP has not yet verified the mineralization at this new showing and intends to undertake an examination during the 2011 field season.

Mineralogical assessment of these samples by Paget Minerals has confirmed that allanite is the main rare earth element mineral. Mineral analyses of allanite from the Laura occurrence revealed a mean value of the light rare earth elements La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 of 20.3 wt.% based upon 166 compositions.

Higher La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 values of 33.8 and 40.1 wt.%, beyond the normal limits for allanite, were also found and possibly represent an unidentified REE-rich silicate mineral. This work also revealed very low values of thorium oxide in the allanite minerals at this occurrence (within a range of 0.00 to 0.10 wt.%) as well as very low values of uranium oxide (within a range of 0.00 to 0.09 wt.%). The very low radioactive mineral content of these samples makes them potential ore minerals. Additional technical details regarding the Mt. Bisson mineralization can be found on REI's website www.rareearthindustries.com.

Field work is scheduled to commence in early June, 2011 and will consist of geophysical mapping, trenching and sampling to identify drill targets for continued investigation and the development of a resource model for the property. Samples have been shipped to Anthony Mariano, Ph.D., a member of Seymour Ventures' advisory board, for metallurgical and petrological analysis, in an attempt to determine the amenability of the minerals to chemical separation.

Alastair Neill, president of Seymour Ventures, stated, "The unusually high grades of rare earth oxides and initial reports of anomalous heavy rare earth values are very encouraging and put together with the minimal radioactive elements make these very positive indications. We are extremely enthusiastic about these prior results, and we are eager to begin work on this project."

Frederick W. Breaks, Ph.D., P. Geo. is the Qualified Person responsible for the Mt. Bisson and Xeno properties, and has read and approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release. The exploration data summarized in this news-release were taken from NI 43-101 Technical Report for Seymour Ventures Corp. "Geological report on the Mount Bisson rare-earth element claim-group" by Frederick W. Breaks, dated November 28, 2010, unless otherwise indicated.
