rhyolite containing rare earth minerals with potentially a 67% ratio of
heavy to light rare earth minerals. Prior exploratory work also
indicates what the Company believes to be a potentially large,
high-grade beryllium mineralization. Uranium mineralization is also
present in the deposit. The Company′s common stock trades on the OTCQB
