31.10.2013  |  Marketwired

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwired - Oct 31, 2013) - Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:UCU)(OTCQX:UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Geoff Clarke to its Board of Directors, effective October 30, 2013.

"Our current focus is to increase shareholder value through the aggressive yet cost efficient development of our rare earth mineral property in Alaska while maintaining a commitment to proud community and environmental considerations," stated Jim McKenzie, President & CEO of Ucore. "The addition of Geoff Clarke to our Board of Directors deliberately adds various skills, experiences and relationships that further supplements and complements the mix that had existed."

Mr. Clarke has almost 20 years of varied experience in investment banking, financial advisory, corporate and securities law as well as teaching experience at the university level in the fields of business law and corporate finance. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from McMaster University, an MBA from McGill University, a Bachelor of Laws degree from Queen's University and a Master of Laws degree from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. Mr. Clarke began his capital markets industry career in the corporate finance division of a TSX Member firm, rising quickly to the level of Executive Vice-President, Corporate Finance in 1997. He transitioned to practicing corporate and securities law in 2002 and he later became a Partner at Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, a leading Canadian-based international law firm and a six-times recipient of a global "Mining Law Firm of the Year" award. As a lawyer, his practice principally involved advising clients in regard to securities offerings, merger and acquisition activities, corporate governance matters and securities regulatory matters. In late 2010, Mr. Clarke left Fasken Martineau to become the President of a full-service institutional investment dealer, where he remained until this year. His role at the investment dealer included providing financial and strategic advice to mining industry companies and investors regarding off-take agreements, joint-ventures, strategic partnerships and raising capital.

Commensurate with his appointment, Mr. Clarke will be granted 250,000 stock options, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.26 per share and will expire five years from October 30, 2013, the date of the grant. One third of the options will vest six months after the date of the grant, with an additional third to vest every six months thereafter until fully vested.
