Rare Metals

Over the past quarter century, an emerging class of metals has grown exponentially in demand as a byproduct of the Technological Revolution. That group, known as the Rare Metals (and variously referred to as Specialty or Technology Metals), has become the backbone of innovation in the fields of clean energy, consumer electronics, computer applications, health care technologies and much more. Today, a great deal of what we refer to as the modern technology would be all but impossible without the Rare Metals and their associated oxides and concentrates.

Rare Metals include the unique elemental suite known as the Rare Earth Elements (REE's) and a select group of specialty metals produced primarily for technology applications. At Ucore, our focus is on Heavy REE’s (a class of REE’s known for their high value relative to other REE’s) and collateral metals often found in concert with REE deposits, including uranium (our namesake), beryllium, niobium and zirconium. Collectively, this group represents a resource sub-sector experiencing unprecedented growth in global demand, combined with critical issues of near term supply and a correspondingly high potential for return on investment.  


The Ucore Advantage 

Ucore Rare Metals (TSX-V:UCU) is an exploration company with significant exploration holdings across North America. The company's Alaska-based flagship property at Bokan Mountain is the site of a former high grade producing uranium mine, with an estimated untapped resource of 11 million + lbs of U3O8, and a Rare Earth Elements (REE) resource that is estimated to be the largest combined heavy and light REE deposit within the United States (all estimates based on USGS data; non 43-101 compliant). Bokan has near term production potential and is located in an area of Alaska specifically set aside for natural resource development, with no residential or indigenous populations in proximity. With a prospective portfolio of properties and a management team comprised of experienced mineral exploration personnel, Ucore is positioned for rapid expansion in a sector exhibiting exponential growth.
