4. About Quantum
• Quantum Rare Earth Developments is a junior exploration
company with a focus on seeking out potentially economic
deposits of rare earth elements in North America and
elsewhere in the world. It has a strong management team
with a widespread network providing resource projects in
discovery areas.
• To date, we have acquired two highly prospective rare earth
properties. The first, at Archie Lake, Saskatchewan, and the
second in the vicinity of Mount Weld in Australia.
Management is continuing the evaluation process on several
highly prospective additions to the corporate portfolio.
5. Why Rare Earths?
• Superalloys used in the aerospace industry
• “Green” technologies such as fuel cells and electric-hybrid
vehicles.
• Permanent magnets.
• Hybrid vehicles
• Television screens, computer monitors, and other visual
displays
• U S market for rare earth materials alone was valued at in
excess of U S $ 1 billion in 2007.
• China produces over 97% of the world's rare earths
8. Historic Exploration
Archie Lake, Saskatchewan
• Rare Earth Element (REE) mineralization is contained
within a meta-sedimentary horizon believed to be of
paleoplacer origin (listed as such by USGS)
• Mineralized horizon outcrop is up to 6 metres across, and
has been traced for nearly 600 metres along strike
• Historic trench sample assays up to 15.7 % REE oxide
• 2009 exploration focused on re-sampling historic trenches
with 36 samples collected in early October
9. 2009 Exploration
Archie Lake, Saskatchewan
• Mineralization confirmed in all trenches, with one chip sample
returning a high of 29.9% REE+Y (Semi-Quantitative Analysis), and
an overall average of 3.8% for the 36 samples
• A total of five samples exceeded Acme Lab’s detection limits for
one to four of the lanthanides (Ce, La, Nd, and Pr).
• A total of 18 samples exceed 2% REE+Y, of which six exceed 5%
REE+Y and three exceed 10% REE+Y.
• Thin sections confirm Monazite-(Ce) as the near exclusive REE
bearing mineral, with most grains ranging from 200 μm to 1 mm+
• Monazite may locally comprise up to 60% of host lithology
10. 2009 Exploration
Archie Lake, Saskatchewan
• Semi-continuous chip sampling
across an approximate 5 m width
returned 5.9% REE+Y.
14. Australian Acquisition
• Jungle Well project 150km west of Mt. Weld
• Laverton Projects 45 km’s north of Mt. Weld
• Collectively, the projects represent an area of approximately 170,000 ha.
15. Jungle Wells
• Evaluated for diamonds in 1990’s,
• During 2007, a trench sampling programme identified significant
REE values from an exposed dyke of 6.9% and 8% REE.
17. Laverton
• The Laverton Rare Earth Project is located 45km north of Mt Weld and has
two untested circular magnetic features.
• Its important to note that rare earth mineralization occurs in residual
regolith over a carbonatite plug at Mt Weld.
• Carbonatite veins occur up to 5km from the main plug at Mt Weld which is
surrounded by a 500 metre radius annulus of alkali metasomatism
comprising alkali feldspar and biotite.
