HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/19/12 -- Ucore Rare Metals Inc (TSX VENTURE: UCU)(OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Randy MacGillivray as Senior Mine Permitting Manager for the Bokan Heavy Rare Earth project on Prince of Wales Island in Alaska, USA.


Randy MacGillivray is an Environmental Geoscientist with over 20 years of environmental and geological management experience based in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Canada, New Zealand, Chile, Guyana and Bolivia. Randy has mine project management experience involving the full-spectrum of permitting, compliance, reclamation, remediation, and water quality planning involving both active chemical and passive biological treatment systems.


Randy has experience in establishing and auditing environmental management systems, including community and First Nations consultation and engagement strategies. He has served as the Environmental Manager for Coeur Alaska at the Kensington Gold Project during the final round of permitting which obtained the successful Record of Decision and Corp of Engineers 404 operating permits. Randy graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of British Columbia and is a licensed Professional Geoscientist in British Columbia.


"We're excited to have attracted a senior representative with the depth of experience in permitting such a major Alaskan operation as Kensington," said Jim McKenzie, President & CEO of Ucore. "Few people would have the broad skill set and Alaska-specific knowledge that Randy brings to Ucore. He'll be working in close cooperation with the State of Alaska, the US Forest Service, and associated regulators to bring Bokan into production without delay. Randy represents the first of a comprehensive team of mine development specialists being assembled by Ucore COO Ken Collison, and we welcome him to the Ucore team."


Background


Ucore Rare Metals Inc. is a well-funded junior exploration company focused on establishing REE, uranium and other rare metal resources through exploration and property acquisition. With multiple projects across North America, Ucore's primary focus is the 100% owned Bokan - Dotson Ridge REE property in Alaska. The Bokan - Dotson ridge REE project is located 60 km southwest of Ketchikan, Alaska and 140 km northwest of Prince Rupert, British Columbia and has direct ocean access to the western seaboard and the Pacific Rim, a significant advantage in expediting mine production and limiting the capital costs associated with mine construction.


The Bokan properties are located in an area reserved for sustainable resource development with an existing road network providing access to the main target areas. REE mineralization at the Bokan-Dotson ridge project occurs in a well-demarcated vein system related to a Mesozoic Bokan peralkaline granitic complex. However, a number of other occurrences of REE mineralization are also located within, or at the margins of the complex. Viewed in a geological and geophysical context, the Bokan complex is a distinctive circular structure and is highly prospective for rare earths deposits.
