Dan Gorski, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "For a company of our size and current explorative state, we believe our strong balance sheet positions our company to prosper as we head into 2013. Currently we have $6 million or $0.16 per share in cash and cash equivalents which we believe is sufficient to provide us at least two years of access to capital to continue conducting research and analyzing our asset base while exploring monetizing options. We have evaluated our current burn rate and as compared to fiscal 2012 of approximately $1 million per month we anticipate reducing that amount in fiscal 2013 to approximately $135,000 per month plus specific technical study payments, lease payments or discretionary items that may arise. We are well positioned to show the industry and capital markets the investment opportunity that Texas Rare Earth presents."
