Ucore Undertakes Field Program at Ray Mountains Property, Alaska

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV:UCU) has undertaken a summer field program at its rare earths and tin multi-metal property in the Ray Mountains area of Central Alaska. Several claim blocks in the region were acquired by Ucore in 2011.

As quoted in the press release:

The Ray Mountains region contains multiple mineralized stream systems and fluvial basins which have been the subject of a number of government surveys. The 2014 Ray Mountains program allows Ucore to complete the resampling and assay testing of key locations recently reported by the Alaska Geological Survey, and other earlier US Bureau of Mines work in the area, and examine the geological setting of the Kilolitna River Basin. A number of samples collected by Ucore’s geological team will be processed for lab testing in the coming weeks. The Company will release the results of this testing as they become available.

Ucore’s president and CEO, Jim McKenzie, said:

The Ray Mountains region offers excellent access to established transportation routes, making these claims a potential source of heavy REE’s for the processing facility currently being planned at the Bokan-Dotson Ridge deposit to the south. With an extensive drilling program commencing at our Bokan property, and the sampling work at Ray Mountains, it’s a busy and exciting time for Ucore. We look forward to updating our shareholders on the results of this testing and other work in due course.
