Ucore Separates HREE and LREE Classes at 99%+ Purity via SuperLig®-One Pilot Plant

June 7, 2016 – HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA – Ucore Rare Metals, Inc. (TSXV:UCU) (OTCQX:UURAF) (“Ucore” or the “Company”) is pleased to update on the continuing performance of the SuperLig®-One rare earth element (“REE”) separation pilot plant (the “Plant” or “SuperLig®-One”.)

Pregnant leach solution (“PLS”) derived from the Company’s Bokan-Dotson Ridge project in Alaska has been treated by the SuperLig®-One Molecular Recognition Technology (“MRT”) Plant, at the IBC Advanced Technologies, Inc. (“IBC”) Utah facility. The PLS was initially separated from impurity metals (“Gangue Metals”) (see Ucore Press Release (“PR”), dated May 9, 2016) followed by the removal of scandium (see Ucore PR dated May 24, 2016.)

In the latest separation circuit, the PLS has now been separated into two classes of REE: heavy REE, comprised of samarium to lutetium (“HREE”) and light REE, comprised of lanthanum to neodymium plus yttrium (“LREE”). The class separations have been achieved at 99%+ purity and 99%+ recovery.
