Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that relate to the Company's current expectations and views of future events.
In       some         cases,       these       forward-looking       statements        can       be       identified      by        words        or     phrases       such       as
"may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "aim", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "seek", "believe", "potential", "continue", "is/are likely to" or the negative of these terms, or other
similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and
projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These
forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to (i) the Company's strategy, growth, development and acquisition opportunities, return on
existing assets, operational excellence and financial management; (ii) the Company's expectations regarding its revenue, expenses and operations; (iii) the Company's
anticipated cash needs and its estimates regarding its capital and operating expenditures; (iv) capital requirements, needs for additional financing and the Company's
ability to raise additional capital; (v) the Company's estimates of future cash flows, financial condition and operating performances of the Company and its subsidiaries;
(vi) the estimation of any mineral resources and the realization of mineral reserves based on mineral resource, estimates and estimated future development, if any, and
possible variations of ore grade or recovery rates; (vii) estimated results of planned exploration and development activities; (viii) the Company's competitive position and
its expectations regarding competition from other companies globally; (ix) the Company's ability to maintain customer and supplier relationships; (x) anticipated trends
and challenges in the Company's business and the markets in which it operates, including with respect to potential new rare earths projects, supply outlook and growth
opportunities; (xi) limitations of insurance coverage; (xii) the future price of and future demand for rare earths elements and their derivative products; (xiii) economic and
financial conditions; (xiv) interest rates and foreign exchange rates; (xv) performance of counterparties in fulfilling their obligations; (xvi) government regulation of mining
operations, accidents, environmental risks, exploration risks, reclamation and rehabilitation expenses; (xvii) title disputes or claims; and (xviii) the timing and possible
outcome of pending regulatory and permitting matters.


Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate. These assumptions include continued political stability in Namibia, that
permits required for the Company's operations will be obtained in a timely basis in order to permit the Company to proceed on schedule with its planned drilling
programs, that skilled personnel and contractors will be available as the Company's operations continue to grow, that the price of rare earths will remain at levels that will
render the Company's projects economic and that the Company will be able to continue raising the necessary capital to finance its operations. Forward-looking
statements involve a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those listed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the prospectus of the
Company dated April 7, 2011 (filed on SEDAR www.sedar.com), which may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.


The forward-looking statements made in this presentation relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in the presentation.
Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, a
future event or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


There can be no assurance that such forward looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such information. Accordingly, potential investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Namibia Rare Earths - IPO April 2011 on TSX ($28.75M)
• 100% owner of the Lofdal Rare Earth Project
  (“Lofdal”) located in north-western Namibia

• District scale potential for new rare earth
  deposit discoveries (Lofdal covers 740 km2)

• Drill targets with exceptional heavy rare
  earth enrichment when compared to its rare
  earth developer peers

• Aggressive exploration program post-IPO has
  already identified first resource target area with
  open pit potential (currently drilling)

• Namibia is a stable jurisdiction, pro-mining
  country, with excellent infrastructure

• Experienced management and board with
  significant African and rare earth experience,
  including an officer of Molycorp on board
Why Does Everyone Emphasize Heavies? Part I – Supply Concerns

 • Rare earth elements are essential for high-tech applications (computers, cell phones, hybrid cars, wind
   turbines and defence industry applications)
 • The US Department of Energy has identified 5 critical elements that are at a serious supply risk over the
   next 15 years – dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb), neodymium (Nd), europium (Eu) and yttrium (Y)
 • Principal target elements at Lofdal are dysprosium, terbium and yttrium
Why Does Everyone Emphasize Heavies? Part II - Pricing
      •     Decision to IPO Lofdal was made in early 2010 after which rare earth oxide prices rose
            dramatically to a peak in July 2011. Prices have fallen back in the past 6 months but still
            remain robust.

      •     In spite of recent drop of 45% in prices, current levels are up over 850% from 2010 prices and
            heavies have maintained their value relative to lights.

      •     Do your homework to understand what a company reports as HREE or HREO. Norm is to
            include yttrium which may be >50% of the heavies. Some companies will break out light REE,
            mid REE and heavy REE. Look for complete disclosure of material grades (next slide).

What is Heavy Rare Earth Enrichment? Material Grades

Most rare earth deposits have a preponderance of light rare earths. The relative proportion of heavies to the
total grade expressed as a percentage defines the degree of heavy rare earth enrichment. Deposits with
>10% enrichment (indicated with     below) are considered to be “enriched” in heavies.

Lofdal Rare Earth Project History (2008-2010)


• Brand new, district scale rare earth project
  recognized in 2008

• Multiple high quality rare earth targets within
  200 km2 carbonatite complex

• Delineation of a 7 km long corridor with particular
  potential for the discovery of HREE enriched
  deposits

• First diamond drilling in October 2010 confirmed
  REE mineralization in carbonatite dykes and
  alteration haloes with high HREE ratios (>50%)

• Detailed mapping in Area 4 with exceptional HREE
  ratios (>90%) in dykes over 800 m strike


• Technical basis for IPO and TSX listing

Lofdal Carbonatite Complex Covers 200 km2

• Lofdal mapped in detail with airborne radiometrics and magnetics
    – 40% of the complex has been systematically prospected; 20% of it mapped
• Detailed ground surveys map out individual dykes which can extend for several kilometers

District Scale Potential Demonstrated by Rock Sampling

• Regional rock sampling has confirmed the district scale potential of Lofdal
    – Over 3,700 outcrop samples covering 80 km2 analyzed for REEs between 2008-2010
    – Carbonatite dykes display both LREE and HREE enrichment
    – Main Intrusion weakly anomalous in REE and Emanya Intrusion shows moderate LREE enrichment




                                                       Main Intrusion

                                        Emanya Intrusion
Potential for HREE Discoveries in Focused Areas
• Using the same data the rock samples can be plotted wrt HREE enrichment
    – Specific structures are characterized by >75% HREE and can be traced for several kilometers

Rare Earth Deposit Exploration Model (Carbonatites)

• Carbonatites and related rocks typically are anomalous in rare earths, Ba, Nb, Sr, Ta, Th and U
    – Important deposits of this type are Mountain Pass, Mt. Weld (weathered), Palabora and Bayan Obo
    – Comparable deposits dominated by carbonatite dykes are Bear Lodge and Bokan Mountain
• Level of erosion at Lofdal has exposed the top of the Main Intrusion, a carbonatite pipe at Emanya
  Intrusion and hundreds of dykes


                                                                                   Carbonatite Dykes

  • 3. Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements that relate to the Company's current expectations and views of future events. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as "may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "aim", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "seek", "believe", "potential", "continue", "is/are likely to" or the negative of these terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to (i) the Company's strategy, growth, development and acquisition opportunities, return on existing assets, operational excellence and financial management; (ii) the Company's expectations regarding its revenue, expenses and operations; (iii) the Company's anticipated cash needs and its estimates regarding its capital and operating expenditures; (iv) capital requirements, needs for additional financing and the Company's ability to raise additional capital; (v) the Company's estimates of future cash flows, financial condition and operating performances of the Company and its subsidiaries; (vi) the estimation of any mineral resources and the realization of mineral reserves based on mineral resource, estimates and estimated future development, if any, and possible variations of ore grade or recovery rates; (vii) estimated results of planned exploration and development activities; (viii) the Company's competitive position and its expectations regarding competition from other companies globally; (ix) the Company's ability to maintain customer and supplier relationships; (x) anticipated trends and challenges in the Company's business and the markets in which it operates, including with respect to potential new rare earths projects, supply outlook and growth opportunities; (xi) limitations of insurance coverage; (xii) the future price of and future demand for rare earths elements and their derivative products; (xiii) economic and financial conditions; (xiv) interest rates and foreign exchange rates; (xv) performance of counterparties in fulfilling their obligations; (xvi) government regulation of mining operations, accidents, environmental risks, exploration risks, reclamation and rehabilitation expenses; (xvii) title disputes or claims; and (xviii) the timing and possible outcome of pending regulatory and permitting matters. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate. These assumptions include continued political stability in Namibia, that permits required for the Company's operations will be obtained in a timely basis in order to permit the Company to proceed on schedule with its planned drilling programs, that skilled personnel and contractors will be available as the Company's operations continue to grow, that the price of rare earths will remain at levels that will render the Company's projects economic and that the Company will be able to continue raising the necessary capital to finance its operations. Forward-looking statements involve a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those listed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the prospectus of the Company dated April 7, 2011 (filed on SEDAR www.sedar.com), which may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this presentation relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in the presentation. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, a future event or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. There can be no assurance that such forward looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, potential investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

  • 5. Namibia Rare Earths - IPO April 2011 on TSX ($28.75M) • 100% owner of the Lofdal Rare Earth Project (“Lofdal”) located in north-western Namibia • District scale potential for new rare earth deposit discoveries (Lofdal covers 740 km2) • Drill targets with exceptional heavy rare earth enrichment when compared to its rare earth developer peers • Aggressive exploration program post-IPO has already identified first resource target area with open pit potential (currently drilling) • Namibia is a stable jurisdiction, pro-mining country, with excellent infrastructure • Experienced management and board with significant African and rare earth experience, including an officer of Molycorp on board
  • 6. Why Does Everyone Emphasize Heavies? Part I – Supply Concerns • Rare earth elements are essential for high-tech applications (computers, cell phones, hybrid cars, wind turbines and defence industry applications) • The US Department of Energy has identified 5 critical elements that are at a serious supply risk over the next 15 years – dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb), neodymium (Nd), europium (Eu) and yttrium (Y) • Principal target elements at Lofdal are dysprosium, terbium and yttrium
  • 7. Why Does Everyone Emphasize Heavies? Part II - Pricing • Decision to IPO Lofdal was made in early 2010 after which rare earth oxide prices rose dramatically to a peak in July 2011. Prices have fallen back in the past 6 months but still remain robust. • In spite of recent drop of 45% in prices, current levels are up over 850% from 2010 prices and heavies have maintained their value relative to lights. • Do your homework to understand what a company reports as HREE or HREO. Norm is to include yttrium which may be >50% of the heavies. Some companies will break out light REE, mid REE and heavy REE. Look for complete disclosure of material grades (next slide).

  • 8. What is Heavy Rare Earth Enrichment? Material Grades Most rare earth deposits have a preponderance of light rare earths. The relative proportion of heavies to the total grade expressed as a percentage defines the degree of heavy rare earth enrichment. Deposits with >10% enrichment (indicated with below) are considered to be “enriched” in heavies. … . . Rare Element . . Navigator . . Alkane GWG . . Lynas . . Stans . . Greenland Lynas . .
