U.S. Rare Earths, Inc. Provides Financing Update

Company raises an aggregate $3.1 million since December 2013

PLANO and NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2014 - U.S. Rare Earths, Inc. (OTCQB: UREE), a U.S. domestic rare earths exploration company with mining claims in Idaho, Montana, and Colorado, announced today that it has raised an aggregate $3.1 million since December 2013.

The Company sold an aggregate 837,000 shares of common stock at an effective price of $2.50 per share through June 30, 2014.

In addition, the Company sold an aggregate 420,000 shares of common stock at an effective price of $2.50 per share through September 30, 2014 that included warrants that are exercisable for 489,200 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share until December 31, 2015.

Proceeds have been used for ongoing exploration, sampling, drilling and preliminary design and engineering work relating to pending exploratory mine operations, as well as metallurgical and mineralogical studies, a study of developing a processing mill design, share repurchases and general working capital.

The funds have allowed the Company to continue its broader exploration, and to also expand the development of its requisite infrastructure.

In addition, the Company intends to extend the ongoing development of the company's premier properties in both Idaho and Montana, including its Phase 2 exploration program, at both the Last Chance adits and its other Lemhi Pass properties. Work will include the removal of the material believed to be contained within the company's stockpile at the Last Chance vein which it announced previously.

"We are very pleased with our successful fundraising over the past year," said Kevin Cassidy, U.S. Rare Earths CEO. "Our primary focus continues to remain the creation of an independent American- based rare earths solution, resulting in the creation of a domestic supply chain of critical rare earth elements, sourced and mined right here in the USA. Our goal is to create American jobs, sustainability, and the development of the intellectual property and capacity domestically in the U.S."

The Company said that its properties in the Lemhi Pass region have been recognized in the U.S. Department of Energy's Critical Materials Strategy publications to have significant showings of heavy rare earth elements, in particular the five rare earths identified by DOE as being at "critical risk:" Dysprosium, Europium, Neodymium, Terbium and Yttrium.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
