PELE MOUNTAIN PROVIDES UPDATE ON ECO RIDGE URANIUM RESOURCES AND PROGRESS AT ITS ENERGY AND RARE EARTH PROCESSING PROJECTS

Pele Mountain Resources Inc. has provided an update on NI 43-101 uranium resources at its 100-per-cent-owned Eco Ridge project, and on the status of its energy and rare earth processing projects.

Pele president Al Shefsky stated: "Although the uranium price remains too low to support development at our flagship Eco Ridge project, we are encouraged by its recent uptick and the corresponding strong increase in investor interest in uranium exploration and development companies. Pele shares provided outstanding leverage to uranium in past rallies, most notably in 2007 and 2011, because of the extensive uranium resources at Eco Ridge, and we have achieved a major increase and upgrade in uranium resources since that time. The NI 43-101 mineral resources at Eco Ridge continue to provide Pele investors with exposure and leverage to uranium."

In June, 2013, Roscoe Postle Associates reported uranium oxide (U3O8) mineral resources for the main conglomerate bed (MCB) at Eco Ridge (together with total rare earth oxide resources and U3O8 equivalent resources, which can be viewed in Pele's press release dated June 10, 2013).

 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE -- JUNE, 2013

Classification    Tonnes                U3O8
                    (000)      (%)   (000 lb)

Indicated         22,743    0.045     22,554
Inferred          36,560    0.047     37,623

Notes:
  
CIM definitions were followed for mineral 
resources. 
   
Mineral resources are estimated within the 
main conglomerate bed (MCB) at a cut-off 
value of $90 per tonne. Values were calculated 
based on prices and recoveries of uranium and 
rare earths, net of rare earth separation 
costs. 

Mineral resources are estimated using an average 
long-term uranium price of $70 (U.S.) per pound 
U3O8, a rare earth "basket price" of $55 per 
kilogram (net of separation charges) and a 
Canadian-dollar:U.S.-dollar exchange rate of 
1.00:1.00. 
  
A minimum mining thickness of 1.8 metres was 
used.

Eco Ridge covers 8,600 hectares in Elliot Lake, Ont., a proven uranium mining camp with historic production exceeding 300 million pounds of U3O8 and the only mining camp in Canada to achieve commercial production of rare earth oxides. Elliot Lake has outstanding regional infrastructure including highways, railway, electricity, natural gas, airport, deepwater ports and a qualified work force. The Province of Ontario has already issued three renewable 21-year mining leases at Eco Ridge, giving Pele secure land tenure and the exclusive right to mine the resources. The project enjoys enthusiastic local support.

The uranium resources at Eco Ridge have excellent potential for upgrade and expansion with lower-than-normal exploration risk in the historically drilled areas. The uranium-bearing reefs of Elliot Lake are well known for their vast size and relative consistency. To date, infill drilling at Eco Ridge has been 100 per cent successful in upgrading inferred resources to the indicated category in the MCB. The deposit outcrops for more than four kilometres and remains open down dip beyond the historically drilled areas.

As there is still considerable uncertainty regarding future uranium prices, and given the company's challenges in advancing Eco Ridge in recent years, Pele is considering opportunities to help move the project forward and unlock its value.

As recent market conditions for uranium and rare earths have not supported the construction of relatively high capital expenditure mining and processing projects like Eco Ridge, Pele has expanded its business model to include processing high-grade rare-earth-bearing monazite to produce rare earths and, more recently, to pursue electricity generation and energy storage projects, all in Elliot Lake.

During the past year, Pele signed a sustainable energy development agreement with the City of Elliot Lake under which Pele was appointed, on an exclusive basis, as the developer of energy and energy storage projects on city lands through April, 2018. The outstanding infrastructure in Elliot Lake, including natural gas pipelines with excess capacity, provides an opportunity for electricity cost reductions through on-site power generation. The company is working with industry-leading experts to design and develop behind-the-meter combined heat and power generation for certain large consumers of electricity in order to reduce costs, increase reliability and conserve energy supplied by the provincial power grid.

Mr. Shefsky continued: "With our Eco Ridge project located in Elliot Lake, launching our new energy venture here makes good business sense for both Pele and the city. Commercial and municipal customers with large heat and power requirements can benefit by locking into long-term, lower-cost electricity and thermal energy at no upfront cost. We would benefit from sources of new, long-term revenue. We are making progress and expect to be able to report on these projects shortly. Furthermore, we see excellent potential to develop energy projects in other municipalities, and off-grid industrial and community applications in Northern Ontario. We are actively pursuing these opportunities."

Pele also remains committed to advancing Canada's first rare earth processing centre in Elliot Lake to kick-start a relatively low-cost, secure and sustainable supply of rare earths by processing imported monazite. Management believes the continuing risk of supply disruptions, perhaps heightened by the recent American presidential election, continues to be a compelling incentive for the development of new, secure sources of rare earth supply outside of China for western nations and industrial end-users.

About Pele

Pele Mountain Resources' extensive NI 43-101 mineral resources at its 100-per-cent-owned Eco Ridge project continue to provide its shareholders with exposure and leverage to uranium and rare earths while the company is focused on the sustainable development of local power generation and rare earth processing in Elliot Lake.

Eco Ridge has unique characteristics that make it an attractive development site, including excellent regional infrastructure, strong local support and its strategic location in Elliot Lake, the former uranium mining capital of the world and Canada's only historic rare earth mining and processing camp.
