NEWS RELEASEFebruary 18, 2021 Geo-political Tensions Reinforce Canada Rare Earths Strategic Plan Vancouver, British Columbia: Canada Rare Earth Corp. (Canada Rare Earth or the Company) (TSX.V: LL) notes increasing global political tensions causing, in part, a renewed angst regarding the possible restrictions and interruptions of rare earths. Our senior management team consulted with industry participants, experts and financiers to critically evaluate our vision and approach in the context of the entire industry and the geo-political tensions which we anticipated. Conclusions confirm the validity of our strategy and, as a result, we are continuing to focus on our prioritized high-value specific initiatives, leveraging our core attributes and competencies. Our intention is to maximize shareholder value as we are building our business of developing and acquiring rare earths in various forms, establishing our own proprietary processing facilities and selling value-added products, said Tracy A. Moore, CEO. Canada Rare Earths vision is to become a major supplier of rare earth products by establishing mid-stream processing capabilities and facilities in key locations globally.
