Operational Highlights Prospecting results from the Bottom Brook REE property, located near Stephenville, Newfoundland & Labrador, were announced in February. These exceeded expectations and there are now nine REE targets at Bottom Brook. Assay results at Bottom Brook Zone B of 1.69% and 6.80% TREO were obtained from two grab samples collected from angular boulders containing abundant magnetite and hematite mineralization. Assay results at Bottom Brook Zone C ranged from 1.50% TREO to 10.04% TREO obtained from five grab samples taken from magnetite-hematite bearing granite float. Both sets of samples have similar radioactivity and mineralogy to the Bottom Brook A Zone.
