Part3 NR Mar22/22Tracy A. Moore: Rare earth products are critical to many industries, including industrial, consumer, medical and military applications. There are many high-profile examples of where rare earths are utilized. They can be found in components that are integrated into electric vehicles, (for a number of reasons, which Ill get into in a second,) but also wind turbines, telecommunications computers, medical equipment, cracking of oil, and many individual military applications, such as night-vision goggles through to high profile fighter jets and submarines. Any one application doesnt necessarily need a lot of rare earths, but each application can benefit significantly by the properties of these very unique minerals. For example, electric vehicles use permanent magnets which incorporate a number of rare earths, because they're so powerful. These magnets are smaller and lighter than others, which helps increase the range of electric vehicles. That's just one example of why rare earths are of interest to the manufacturers of electric vehicles. Rare earths are also used in many other applications in electric vehicles as well as hybrid and regular vehicles. Dr. Allen Alper: Oh, that sounds very good. Could you tell our readers/investors your primary plans and goals for 2022? Tracy A. Moore: We are simultaneously pursuing our three integrated and interdependent business elements: resource development, establishing rare earth processing facilities, and servicing our customer base. In particular, we are developing the processing capability of our large South American stockpile containing cassiterite, rare earths, zircon and ilmenite. This is not a question of whether we will process the tailings. Our focus is determining the scale of operations, the products we will produce and which part of the stockpile we will first process. For example, we are studying whether to produce a mixed concentrate or individual commercial mineral products. We're also looking to expand our supply base of concentrates and oxides. We continue to have discussions with prospective suppliers, so that we can increase our supply, perhaps tenfold over and above the levels we've achieved in the past. That will go a long way towards satisfying the demand from our key and existing customer base, then we can bring on more customers. We have also entered into and confirmed an exclusive distribution agreement for high purity and specialty rare earth oxide products, and well be putting effort into selling those products. The increasing supply of concentrates and oxides will both help grow sales immediately, and also help feed concentrates into the refineries, we intend to develop or acquire and prepare us to sell the oxide products, derived from the refinery operations. We're in the process of acquiring a refinery and we are looking at planning for an additional refinery, probably in South America. In addition, we've had discussions with several government groups and private corporations to consider establishing joint venture operations. Thirdly, we're looking at solidifying our customer base, even further, by increasing our supply to them and, as I mentioned, with increasing supply we will be onboarding new clients, including those who have approached us. So, we're very optimistic! Dr. Allen Alper: Oh, that sounds very good. Tracy, could you tell our readers/investors the primary reasons they should consider investing in Canada Rare Earth? Tracy A. Moore: Peers in the rare earth sector trade at 35 to 70 times trading earnings and have traded as high as 100 times. So, we are driving as fast as possible to become a profitable Company. Dr. Allen Alper: I appreciate estimates and forward looking statements are subject to variations. What do you think is the timing on all of this, Tracy? Tracy A. Moore: Well, for the stockpile project, it's being worked on now. I would hope that within several months we will have finalized our plans. Depending on the size and the scale, we would order equipment and perhaps, optimistically, be in operation later this year. As for the cash flowing from increased sales, we're looking at the very near future. Some pieces of the business have to come together, but it's being worked on, with great enthusiasm. We are very hopeful that in the near future, we will have significantly more sales and a reasonably strong, positive cash flow, based on those sales. Dr. Allen Alper: Well, that's very good. Is there anything else you'd like to add, Tracy? Tracy A. Moore: I think we've covered the main points. Well, we had a number of key accomplishments last year. One in particular, was hiring our Head of Global Trading, who is based in Hong Kong. Prior to joining us, he was responsible for completing over $2 billion of mineral commodities sales. He's a good person, capable, sees our vision, and he's definitely a key component of us going forward, in terms of expanding our commercial relevance to the world.
