Heavy rare earths (20-28% of TREO%) N-S Composite Section (looking west) = 1590m
NORTH >> Hole 154: 1.88% TREO with 20.5% HREO over 20.0 metres
MID >> Basal HREE Zone > Averages 30m thick, 2% TREO, 20% HREE
SOUTH >> Hole 70: 1.90% TREO > with 32.6% HREO over 6.0 metres
Indicated Mineral Resources have increased to 57.49 million tonnes of 1.56% TREO with 20.72% HREO/TREO in the Basal Zone. The same update resulted in the Inferred Mineral Resources increasing to 226.88 million tonnes of 1.30% TREO with 14.33% HREO/TREO. |

Total Combined Strike Length: 2425 m
Projected Depth: 200 m

Estimated Grade TREO: 0.76% – 1.42%
Estimated Heavy Rare Earth Content (HREO/TREO): 60%
The 2010 drill program produced a total of 3,770 metres of core from 18 diamond drill holes.
The 2009 drilling program yielded 2,840 metres of core from 27 diamond drill holes.
In a previous press release (Feb. 26, 2009), Ucore identified an interval of 6.3 metres averaging 3.62% HREE and 0.26% LREE (Hole LMO8-32; HREE’s deemed to include yttrium). This converts to 4.69% Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO). The Heavy Rare Earth Oxide (HREO) component of this total is an impressive 95.4%.
Further analysis of this zone has now identified a subset measuring a significant 11.48% TREO over 2.52 metres (106.92 – 109.44 m). This concentration of rare earths is comprised of 10.85% HREO with 7.31% Y2 O3, and 0.63% LREO. |

| Minerals present in the ore body include the monazite, which is a rare earth phosphate, quartz, apatite and magnetite with small amounts of zircon, pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and ilmenite. The monazite is the source of the rare earths. At an average in situ grade of 17% Total Rare Earth Oxide (“TREO”), Steenkampskraal remains the highest grade rare earth deposit in the world. The other economic mineral in the ore is chalcopyrite, which results in the ore averaging 0.8% copper and 0.5 grams of gold per ton. The monazite-bearing ore body is tabular in shape with an undulating form and a thickness varying from 30 cm to 90 cm. The strike is mainly east to west and the lode has a strike length of 400 m. The lode dips to the south and has only been traced down dip for a distance of 250 m with limited exploration. The angle of the dip is mainly between 20° and 30°, although there are areas where the ore body is nearly horizontal and other areas where the dip exceeds 60°. |
