(Neither party shall be under any restriction with respect to carrying on such business outside Canada.)

Under the MOU, the Parties will negotiate a Definitive Agreement that incorporates the following proposed terms, among others:

  • a stated purpose to maximize financial benefits to both Parties through the sustainable development of continuous, reliable rare earth processing operations;
  • The JV is to be owned 50.1-percent by SKN and 49.9-percent by Pele;
  • SKN will use its processing technologies for the JV to process monazite concentrate (subject to approval of Chinese authorities) and Pele will lease a portion of its lands to the JV for construction of the Project, both on a commercial basis;
  • SKN (or qualified third parties nominated by SKN) shall be retained by the JV to design and construct the processing facilities.
  • The Definitive Agreement will set out the duties of SKN as operator of the processing facilities;

Pele President Al Shefsky stated, "We are delighted to enter into this MOU with SKN. The MOU represents a strong endorsement for Pele's monazite processing strategy, and is an important first step to bringing the experience and expertise of a proven global leader in rare earth processing to our Project in Elliot Lake, Ontario."

The MOU remains non-binding other than the provisions relating to confidentiality, exclusivity, jurisdiction and certain other standard clauses, which are intended to be binding. Unless the Parties agree to extend the MOU, it will automatically expire in its entirety, if the Parties do not satisfy and waive their respective due diligence and other conditions and negotiate and execute the Definitive Agreement on or before September 30, 2015.
