Of Note:
As defined by IUPAC, rare earth elements or rare earth metals are a collection of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, namely scandium, yttrium,and the fifteen lanthanides. Scandium and yttrium are considered rare earths since they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanides and exhibit similar chemical properties.
The term "rare earth" arises from the rare earth minerals from which they were first isolated, which were uncommon oxide-type minerals (earths) found in Gadolinite extracted from one mine in the village of Ytterby, Sweden. However, with the exception of the highly-unstable promethium, rare earth elements are found in relatively high concentrations in the earth's crust, with cerium being the 25th most abundant element in the earth's crust at 68 parts per million. >>More Source Wikipedia

Azimut Exploration Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company trading on Toronto's TSX Venture Exchange. Its objective is to discover major ore deposits using an innovative targeting methodology combined with considerable exploration know-how.
Azimut's portfolio includes 23 exploration properties in Quebec for uranium, gold,
rare earths, chromium and platinum group metals. The properties represent about 20,000 claims (~10,000 km2 or about 10% of the provincial total), making it the #1 claim-holder in this mining-friendly province.
Azimut's strategy is to drastically reduce the technical and financial risks associated with exploration by generating quality targets and developing partnerships at an early stage. This approach allows the Company to be essentially self-financing, receiving about $1 million per year in cash and share considerations since 2004, which covers most of the internal expenditures.
Moreover, in just six years, Azimut has signed 25 option agreements and regional-scale strategic alliances with majors and juniors. The deals represent $30 million in partner-funded work and led to the discovery of more than 200 new prospects. This success can be credited to the efforts of a team with a rigorous and disciplined approach, and considerable international experience in the mining industry.
