Ucore Announces REE Sampling Results from Alaskan Projects

Ucore Rare Metals Inc (TSXV:UCU,OTCQX:UURAF) announced that sampling has confirmed rare earth mineralization at its properties in central Alaska.

As quoted in the press release:

The sampling program has rendered heavy mineral concentrates composed primarily of ilmenite with cassiterite, monazite with lesser xenotime, zircon, wolframite (ferberite end-member), and trace amounts of allanite, scheelite, and yttrofluorite. The concentrates contain up to 50% Sn, up to 10% total REE (TREE), and 0.01 to 1.0% W, Ta, and Nb.

Ucore’s President and CEO, Jim McKenzie said:

The Ray Mountains project has select areas rivaling HREE content at our Bokan property, and the remarkable advantage of collateral tin, niobium and tantalum mineralization which enhances prospective values per ton.
