Pele Mountain Engages Jacob Securities for Advisory Services to Advance Eco Ridge Mine Rare Earth and Uranium Project

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- Pele Mountain Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GEM)(OTCQX:GOLDF) ("Pele" or the "Company") announced today that it has engaged Jacob Securities Inc. to provide financial advisory services to Pele as it advances its flagship Eco Ridge Mine Rare Earth and Uranium Project in Elliot Lake, Ontario.

Pele President Al Shefsky stated, "With the achievement of each project milestone, we continue to demonstrate that Eco Ridge can provide a secure and reliable long-term supply of critical rare earths and uranium. Our Elliot Lake location, outstanding local infrastructure, extensive and expandable resources, well understood geology and mineralogy, and our world-class development team are just a few of our many competitive advantages at Eco Ridge."

Mr. Shefsky continued, "We believe that the long term solution to financing development at Eco Ridge is likely to involve long term uranium off-take agreements with nuclear utilities and a strategic partnership with end-users of critical rare earths. We are confident that Jacob Securities can elevate our market profile within the sector and assist us in these efforts. We look forward to working with them."

Jacob Securities President and CEO Sasha Jacob added, "As the market for energy metals, including uranium and rare earths, has retrenched since 2011, the landscape has changed dramatically. Consistent with our long-standing view that being among the leaders in the race to production of critical rare earths outside of China is paramount to success in this sector, we believe the time is right to take a closer look at some of the lesser-known companies which, perhaps, have lower hurdles to production than some of their better-known peers. As such, we believe that Pele is a good fit for our firm and we look forward to working with them."
