PELE MOUNTAIN EXECUTES MOU WITH MAJOR CHINESE RARE EARTH PLAYER TO PURSUE OPPORTUNITIES OF DEVELOPING RARE EARTH PROCESSING FACILITIES IN ELLIOT LAKE

Pele Mountain Resources Inc. has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Sheng Kang Ning (Shanghai) Mining Investment Co. Ltd. (SKN) to jointly pursue the opportunity of developing rare earth processing facilities at Pele's Eco Ridge property in Elliot Lake, Ont.

SKN is a foreign investment platform and a 90-per-cent-owned subsidiary of Shenghe Resources Holding Co. Ltd., a global leader in rare earth mining, processing and downstream chain. SKN and Shenghe possess proprietary technologies for environmentally sustainable, low-cost rare earth processing, and have the expertise and experience to design, build and operate rare earth processing facilities.

The MOU sets out the terms under which Pele and SKN will work together, subject to the approval from relevant Chinese and Canadian government authorities, on an exclusive basis within Canada, to negotiate a definitive agreement to establish a joint venture for the sustainable development and operation of a state-of-the-art monazite processing facility, and downstream value-added rare earth processing facilities, to be located on Pele's Eco Ridge property. (Neither party shall be under any restriction with respect to carrying on such business outside Canada.)

Under the MOU, the parties will negotiate a definitive agreement that incorporates the following proposed terms, among others:

• A stated purpose to maximize financial benefits to both parties through the sustainable development of continuous, reliable rare earth processing operations;
• The joint venture is to be owned 50.1 per cent by SKN and 49.9 per cent by Pele;
• SKN will use its processing technologies for the joint venture to process monazite concentrate (subject to approval of Chinese authorities), and Pele will lease a portion of its lands to the joint venture for construction of the project, both on a commercial basis;
• SKN (or qualified third parties nominated by SKN) shall be retained by the joint venture to design and construct the processing facilities;
• The definitive agreement will set out the duties of SKN as operator of the processing facilities.

Pele president, Al Shefsky, stated: "We are delighted to enter into this MOU with SKN. The MOU represents a strong endorsement for Pele's monazite processing strategy, and is an important first step to bringing the experience and expertise of a proven global leader in rare earth processing to our project in Elliot Lake, Ont."

The MOU remains non-binding other than the provisions relating to confidentiality, exclusivity, jurisdiction and certain other standard clauses, which are intended to be binding. Unless the parties agree to extend the MOU, it will automatically expire in its entirety, if the parties do not satisfy and waive their respective due diligence and other conditions, and negotiate and execute the definitive agreement, on or before Sept. 30, 2015.
