Namibia Rare Earths' Lofdal licence renewed

01.12.2014  |  CNW

HALIFAX, Dec. 1, 2014 /CNW/ - Namibia Rare Earths Inc. ("Namibia Rare Earths" or the "Company") (TSX: NRE) (OTCQX: NMREF) is pleased to announce that the Ministry of Mines for the country of Namibia has exercised its discretion to renew the Lofdal rare earths Exclusive Prospecting Licence 3400 for a further two year period.

The Company recently filed a National Instrument 43-101 technical report (Company press release November 14, 2014) titled "Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Lofdal Rare Earths Project Namibia" (the "PEA") which concluded that the Lofdal Project currently has the potential to produce an average of 1,500 tonnes per annum of separated rare earth oxides which would generate after tax cumulative cash flow of US$259M with a net present value10% ("NPV") of US$148M and an internal rate of return ("IRR") of 42%. The PEA indicates that there is considerable potential to expand the current mineral resource and recommends that additional drilling be carried out to provide for an extended mine life in conjunction with a six month Prefeasibility Study program.  Financial sensitivities of the Project are summarized in Table 1, and financial highlights in Table 2.

The PEA should not be considered to be a pre-feasibility or feasibility study, as the economics and technical viability of the Project has not been demonstrated at this time. The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. Furthermore, there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

Donald M. Burton, P.Geo. and President of Namibia Rare Earths Inc., is the Company's Qualified Person and has reviewed and approved this press release.

The options are exercisable for 5 years at an exercise price of $0.20 and represent the first grant of options since February 2012.
