About Quantum
•   Quantum Rare Earth Developments is an exploration company with a
    focus on identification and acquisition of potentially economic deposits
    of niobium and rare earth elements in North America and elsewhere in
    the world.
•   Quantum’s premier project is the Elk Creek Carbonatite in Nebraska.
    This project is considered more advanced due to development in the
    1970’s and 1980’s including over 100 drill holes by Molycorp.       The
    primary focus of this property is niobium, with substantial intercepts
    of both rare earth elements and phosphate also encountered.
•   Archie Lake, Saskatchewan, is a rare earth exploration play with
    excellent surface results, with exploration underway
•   In Australia, Quantum has acquired two exploratory rare earth
    projects in the vicinity of Mount Weld.
Why Niobium?
•   High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel

•   Superalloys used in the aerospace industry

•   “Green” technologies

•   U.S. imports 100% of supply

•   Niobium is considered a “strategic metal” by U.S.
Niobium Market
•   Worldwide demand has grown from under 30,000 tons to almost
    80,000 tons in the past 7 years.

•   Only 10% of worldwide steel production contains niobium –
    expected to rise to as much as 20%

•   Developed countries utilize roughly 100 g/t of steel - while China
    only utilizes 40 g/t

•   China produces almost 40% of world steel, but currently consume
    a much smaller percentage of world Niobium production than their
    steel production would suggest, but they are expected to grow
    their Niobium consumption to match steel production

• The industry is very profitable! Iamgold reports an
  operating margin of $19-21/kg on a sale price in
  the low $30’s per kg! CBMM (Brazil – private)
  reportedly earns over $1 billion per year!

Elk Creek Carbonatite
Project Status and Potential
• Historic resource estimate
     • 39.4 million tons of 0.82% Nb2O5 and is open to the
     north, west and at depth (Molycorp Inc. internal memorandum, Feb 05/1986). Not 43-
     101 compliant
     • Several Rare-Earth zones
     • Molycorp completed over 150,000 ft of drilling – all core
     and data is available

• NI 43-101 historic report is complete – Wardrop currently
completing new 43-101 resource report (Q1, 2011) using re-
assays of historic core

• Main Niobium zone is open to North, West and at Depth
    • Several additional zones need further exploration, which
    could dramatically increase tonnage

• Rare Earth zones yet to be fully explored or drilled

• Phosphate zones to be further tested
Elk Creek Carbonatite
Elk Creek – What’s next?
• Complete historic data compilation and digitizing;

• Complete re-assaying of core to provide:
    • a modern resource calculation;
    • define drill targets for resource confirmation and expansion;
    • approximately 1/3 of Molycorp niobium zone core is currently
    being re-assayed – results in February, 2011.

• Explore secondary drill targets for REE potential;

• Continue to assemble the technical team for long term
development of the project.
Why Rare Earths?
•   “Green” technologies such as fuel cells and electric-hybrid
    vehicles, wind mills

•   Permanent magnets, television screens, computer monitors,
    and other visual displays

•   U.S. is virtually a 100% importer, and funds are being sought
    to develop domestic sources

•   China produces over 97% of the world's rare earths, and are
    continually cutting back on exports – a further 35% cutback
    from 2010 exports recently announced

•   Over $1 billion dollar industry, rapidly growing with
    technological advances
Archie Lake, Sask.
2009 & 2010 Exploration
        Archie Lake, Saskatchewan
 •   2009 - Mineralization confirmed in all       Sample 38395 29.9% REE+Y
     trenches, with chip samples up to 29.9%
     REE+Y, and an overall average of 3.8%
     for the 36 samples

 •   2009 - A total of 18 samples exceed 2%
     REE+Y, of which six exceed 5% REE+Y
     and three exceed 10% REE+Y.

                                                • Outcrop traced for 600 meters on

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.
•   2009 follow up sampling produced results of 5.7%
    and 8.3% REE.




      Laverton
•   The Laverton Rare Earth Project is located 45km north
    of Mt Weld and has two untested circular magnetic
    features.

Niobium in the American heartland

  • 1. RARE EARTHS, SPECIALITY & STRATEGIC METALS INVESTMENT SUMMIT Niobium in the American heartland Peter Dickie – CEO, Quantum Rare Earth Devs IRONMONGERS’ HALL, CITY OF LONDON ● THURSDAY, 17 MAR 2011 www.ObjectiveCapitalConferences.com
  • 2. March - 2011 Corporate Developments 2011
  • 3. Disclaimer This presentation includes projects the Company has acquired in addition to other projects which the Company is in the process of acquiring. Some of the statements and financial projections contained in the following material are forward-looking statements and not statements of facts. Such statements are based on information currently available and have not yet been verified by an independent Qualified Person. The statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from targeted results. Such risks and uncertainties include those described from time to time in the corporations latest annual and quarterly reports and management discussion and analysis. The corporation assumes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as result of new information, future events or otherwise. Where there is a historical resource estimate provided readers are cautioned that the Company has not yet completed the work necessary to verify the classification of the resources and is not treating the resource figure as a NI 43-101 defined resource verified by a Qualified Person at this time and therefore the resource figures should not be relied upon by investors.
  • 4. About Quantum • Quantum Rare Earth Developments is an exploration company with a focus on identification and acquisition of potentially economic deposits of niobium and rare earth elements in North America and elsewhere in the world. • Quantum’s premier project is the Elk Creek Carbonatite in Nebraska. This project is considered more advanced due to development in the 1970’s and 1980’s including over 100 drill holes by Molycorp. The primary focus of this property is niobium, with substantial intercepts of both rare earth elements and phosphate also encountered. • Archie Lake, Saskatchewan, is a rare earth exploration play with excellent surface results, with exploration underway • In Australia, Quantum has acquired two exploratory rare earth projects in the vicinity of Mount Weld.
  • 5. Why Niobium? • High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel • Superalloys used in the aerospace industry • “Green” technologies • U.S. imports 100% of supply • Niobium is considered a “strategic metal” by U.S.
  • 6. Niobium Market • Worldwide demand has grown from under 30,000 tons to almost 80,000 tons in the past 7 years. • Only 10% of worldwide steel production contains niobium – expected to rise to as much as 20% • Developed countries utilize roughly 100 g/t of steel - while China only utilizes 40 g/t • China produces almost 40% of world steel, but currently consume a much smaller percentage of world Niobium production than their steel production would suggest, but they are expected to grow their Niobium consumption to match steel production • The industry is very profitable! Iamgold reports an operating margin of $19-21/kg on a sale price in the low $30’s per kg! CBMM (Brazil – private) reportedly earns over $1 billion per year!
  • 7. Elk Creek Carbonatite Elk Creek, Nebraska Nebraska • Stable mining regulations • Excellent infrastructure
  • 8. Elk Creek Carbonatite Mineralization – Niobium and Rare-Earths Niobium (Nb2O5) Highlights: (released February 22, 2011) -EC-11: •71.6m @ 1.19% -EC-16: 7 Kilometres •67.1m @ 0.91% 39.4 million tons of 0.82% - EC-29: Nb2O5 and is open to the north, west and at depth •201.2m @ 0.99% - EC-30: •36.6m @ 1.12% Rare Earth (REO) Highlights: (released March 7, 2011) •EC-93: •155.5m @ 2.70% •incl. 54.9m @ 3.30% •(historic) EC-53: •192 m @ 1.31% •incl. 33.5 m @ 2.09 •(historic) EC-43: •12.2 m @ 2.83%
