At the meeting, Quest's shareholders also adopted a special resolution authorizing an amendment to Quest's articles so as to change Quest's name to Quest Rare Metals Ltd. -- Metaux Rare Quest Ltee and reappointed Ernst & Young LLP as Quest's auditor.

"Quest Rare Metals better aligns the company's name with its strategy to become a world-class supplier of rare earth metal oxides," stated Quest executive chairman, Pierre Lortie. "Our leadership team believes the time has come to rebrand the company to better reflect what we do, and to distinguish our purpose as a significant participant in the rare earth elements material supply chain."
