KIPAWA, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 05/06/13 -- Our two Algonquin First Nations are aware that the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) has initiated an environmental assessment of a proposed Kipawa Rare Earth Elements open pit mine. The proposed mine site is located within, and has the potential to significantly affect, the shared traditional territories of our two First Nations.
As Algonquin First Nation Governments who represent our Algonquin peoples our duty is to protect our lands, waters and environment for our present and future generations.
Rare earth mines can be the source of significant toxics that risk being released to the environment including radioactive elements (uranium and thorium) and the poorly understood rare earth elements themselves. Existing regulatory regimes in Quebec and Canada have not been designed with rare earth elements in mind, pointing to the need for additional, closer scrutiny of the Project.
As Wolf Lake Chief Harry St. Denis stated today "we are concerned that the standard Environmental Assessment process will not adequately address our concerns about the potential for adverse environmental impacts from the Project. As it stands now, the mine does not trigger an environmental assessment under Quebec legislation so the federal Environmental Assessment will be the only one done for this proposed mine."
Chief St. Denis added "we have determined that a Joint Review Panel pursuant to section 38 © of the CEAA with our Algonquin First Nation Governments would provide a much more appropriate means of evaluating this Project and we have written to the federal Minister of the Environment Peter Kent calling on him to establish a Joint Review Panel."
Eagle Village Chief Madeleine Paul also stated today "from meetings that have been held in our two Algonquin First Nation communities we know that there is a high degree of public concern among our Algonquin Peoples and also within the non-Algonquin population. While the environmental impacts and public concern are reason enough to refer the Project to a review panel, we feel the real opportunity with a Joint Federal-Algonquin Panel is in the potential for inter-jurisdictional cooperation with our two Algonquin First Nation Governments (Eagle Village & Wolf Lake)."
The proponents of the proposed Rare Earth Elements open pit mine are Matamec Explorations Inc. a junior mining exploration company with the financial support of Toyota Tsusho Corporation.
In parallel, the Company is exploring more than 35km of strike length in the Kipawa Alkalic Complex for rare earths-yttrium-zirconium-niobium-tantalum mineralization on the shared territory of the Algonquin First Nations.

KIPAWA RARE EARTHS PROJECT - FEDERAL FUNDING AVAILABLE
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is making available funding to support participation of the public and aboriginal groups in the federal environmental assessment of the Kipawa rare earths project located in Quebec.
Funding will be provided to eligible individuals and groups to enable their participation in upcoming steps of the environmental assessment such as consultation related to the environmental impact statement and consultation on the draft environmental assessment report.
Applications received by July 3, 2013, will be considered. Recipients and the amount of funding allocated will be announced at a later date.
To apply for funding, or for more information on the project and the environmental assessment process, visit the agency's website (registry reference No. 80029) or contact the Participant Funding Program by e-mail or by calling 1-866-582-1884.
As part of the strengthened and modernized Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012 put in place to support the government's Responsible Resource Development Initiative, the agency is conducting a federal environmental assessment of this project.
This project is being assessed using a science-based approach. If the project is permitted to proceed to the next phase, it will continue to be subject to Canada's strong environmental laws, rigorous enforcement and follow-up, and increased fines.
The proposed project
Matamec Explorations proposes the construction, operation and decommissioning of a rare earths open-pit mine about 40 kilometres east of the municipality of Kipawa. The proposed project would process 1.5 million tonnes of ore per year over a 13-year operation period with a daily average extraction rate of 4,200 tonnes. The concentrate would be shipped by train and then by boat to Asian or European refineries. The proposed project would also include the construction of a concentrator, as well as ancillary buildings such as storage, a laboratory and administrative offices.

2013-04-22 18:40 ET - In the News
The International Speculator, in its April 4, 2013, issue, refreshes its buy of Andre Gauthier's Matamec Explorations Inc. at 19 cents, officially, "Hold/buy first tranche/prepare stink bid." The newsletter said buy on Feb. 6, 2013, at 17 cents. Assuming an investment of $1,000, the buy is worth $1,107. The writer notes that Matamec's feasibility study on the Kipawa heavy rare-earth project at Temiscaming, Que., remains on schedule for completion at the end of second-quarter 2013. He says metallurgical results has solved "major choke points," but offers no further details. Matamec has $3-million in cash, but it is mainly using "OPM," an insiderish reference to other people's money. The Kipawa deposit contains 63,850 tonnes of total rare-earth oxide (TREO) in the NI 43-101 indicated category and 17,780 tonnes in the inferred category, at a cut-off of 0.3 per cent TREOs. Though market interest in rare-earth companies has fallen, the writer thinks Matamec is trading at a fraction of any reasonable valuation. The risk is a policy reversal on REE exports in China and economic woes generally.

However, the price of dysprosium oxide finished the week 6.2 percent higher.
The price of neodymium oxide declined 2.0 percent over the past week. After a 1.8 percent decline, cerium oxide closed out the week lower. Cerium oxide prices were off slightly, down from a week ago. The week finished with no movement for europium oxide.
Praseodymium neodymium oxide prices held steady from the previous week, as did rare earth carbonate, samarium oxide, terbium metal and others on the price index.

RARE EARTHS:
In 2016, cerium will remain as the most in demand rare earth element, with 43% per cent of sales. Lanthanum follows with a 21% share, neodymium 19%, yttrium 8%, and the rest divided up the remainder.
Goldman charts the fall in REE prices that began in the third quarter of 2011, and prices for both heavies and lights fell again in the six months to June 2013. The analysts expect limited upside in the next few years and some producers will have to operate below capacity for a period of time in order to prevent a growing surplus. “We also believe that the respective basket prices will diverge over time, with light REE trading close to cost support and heavy REE benefiting from scarcity prices,” the report continues.
In 2011, the light REE basket averaged $706/kg. In 2012 that came back to $463/kg and Goldman estimates the average for 2013 will be $232/kg. But 2014, 2015 and 2016 will not be much better, with forecasts of $243/kg over those three years. The LREE basket comprises lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium and europium.
As for the heavy REE, the basket hit $1,027/kg in 2011, came back to $785/kg last year and will be an estimated $432/kg this year. But gradual improvement is seen: $475/kg for 2014, $499/kg in 2015 and $524/kg in 2016.Incidentally, the HREE basket is based on only gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium and yttrium; lack of pricing data meant Goldman had to exclude holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium and lutetium.
As for the HREE, Goldman Sachs believes that the high prices of these elements “will induce (a) additional demand destruction via thrifting and substitution in applications such as magnets and/or (b) new production capacity to come on line, assuming project developers can develop the appropriate technologies to process heavy REE deposits on a commercial basis.”

"I predict...that there will be several non-Chinese medium / heavy rare-earth producers that will survive and thrive, but only by moving down the supply chain, as far as they can, to reach a reproducible profitability at the lowest cost."

Matamec Explorations Inc. (“Matamec”, TSXV: MAT | OTCQX: MHREF), on August 8, announced the receipt of USD$ 565,769 from its Japanese partner Toyotsu Rare Earth Canada, Inc. (“TRECan”), a subsidiary of Toyota Tsusho Corp. (“TTC”) as part of the final payment of just over CAD$ 16 million to fund a definitive feasibility study (FS) for the Kipawa rare earths deposit. Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, with the final payment received, TRECan will now acquire a 49% undivided interestin the Kipawa JV Property. Matamec “is the only rare earth exploration company to have received funds to accelerate and complete a feasibility study and an environmental and social impact assessment study of a HREE deposit”.
The results of the feasibility study will be announced on September 4. This will be an important achievement, considering the difficulties that many emerging rare earth companies have been facing in order to reach this stage. Matamec has shown the importance of securing partnerships, whether in the form of an off-take agreement or other forms of cooperation, with influential industry players in order to advance investment and technology intensive mining projects as are those involving rare earths. Matamec is unique in that it is the only rare earths company to have signed a major automotive manufacturer as a joint venture partner with a guaranteed sale of its products for the duration of the mine, estimated at 13 years. Clearly, this has greatly reduced Matamec’s economic risk. TTC considers the Kipawa deposit as an essential source of HREE to build hybrid vehicles, an area in which the parent company Toyota has placed a great deal of its future growth prospects.
The actual amount of rare earths used in hybrid vehicles is small; however, these elements are absolutely crucial for the manufacturing of the magnets, superconductors, catalysts and batteries that are increasingly used in hybrid and electric vehicles. HREE’s are making it possible to reduce battery weight, dimensions while increasing their power in conjunction with developments in battery charging technology that will drive demand for EV’s and hybrids over the next few years. Demand for rare earths could soon exceed supply, given that China produces 97% of these critical metals and is tightening the reins on exports.
Matamec specializes in the development of heavy rare earths in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario but the focus has been its Kipawa project in Quebec. The partnership with Toyotsu is ensuring that production stage will be reached by 2016. Toyotsu has agreed to buy all metals produced at the Kipawa property. In March 2012, Matamec decided to skip the ‘preliminary feasibility study’ phase – in view of a favorable preliminary economic assessment – and move directly to the full FS. Meanwhile, Matamec has already started metallurgical tests, including the construction of a pilot test facility. Last April, Matamec announced the discovery of new REE zones, bringing the total number on the property to 12. The property includes HREE’s and some niobium (Nb). Niobium has a number of applications but in the automotive sector it is especially desired for its steel strengthening qualities and used to make the future ‘high strength low alloys’ to enable manufacturers to reduce weight and, therefore, lower fuel consumption. Moreover, as rare earths expert Jack Lifton noted a few years ago, the Toyota Prius is the “biggest user of rare earths of any object in the world,” including a kilo (2.2 lb) of neodymium (Nd) in the electric motor and 10 to 15 kg (22-33 lb) of lanthanum (La) in the battery pack. The higher the desired fuel efficiency, or duration of the electric charge, the more Nd and La would be required.
The partnership has enabled Matamec to overcome the financial hurdle of funding the FS, which will determine whether to proceed,or not, with construction; a ‘yes’ decision would see production starting by the second half of 2016 as scheduled. Matamec will then join Lynas and Molycorp as one of the few companies outside China able to supply high-quality rare metals. This will be no small feat, given the difficulties faced by other exploration companies in achieving project targets. Matamec has other exploration activities as well; it holds seven other sites in Quebec and Ontario, all located in well-mineralized zones, featuring gold, silver, other minerals, as well as rare earths. However, these projects are in the early stages and the Kipawa Project remains its main activity.
