About Quantum• Quantum Rare Earth Developments is a junior exploration

company with a focus on seeking out potentially economic

deposits of rare earth elements in North America and

elsewhere in the world. It has a strong management team

with a widespread network providing resource projects in

discovery areas.

• To date, we have acquired two highly prospective rare earth

properties. The first, at Archie Lake, Saskatchewan, and the

second in the vicinity of Mount Weld in Australia.

Management is continuing the evaluation process on several

highly prospective additions to the corporate portfolio.

Why Rare Earths?• Superalloys used in the aerospace industry

• “Green” technologies such as fuel cells and electric-hybrid vehicles.

• Permanent magnets.

• Hybrid vehicles

• Television screens, computer monitors, and other visual displays

• U S market for rare earth materials alone was valued at in excess of U S $ 1 billion in 2007.

• China produces over 97% of the world's rare earths

Historic ExplorationArchie Lake, Saskatchewan

• Rare Earth Element (REE) mineralization is contained within a meta-sedimentary horizon believed to be of paleoplacer origin (listed as such by USGS)

• Mineralized horizon outcrop is up to 6 metres across, and has been traced for nearly 600 metres along strike

• Historic trench sample assays up to 15.7 % REE oxide

• 2009 exploration focused on re-sampling historic trenches with 36 samples collected in early October

Page 9: Objective Capital Rare Earth and Minor Metals Investment Summit: The Archie Lake Rare Earth Element Property in Saskatchewan - Peter Dickie

2009 ExplorationArchie Lake, Saskatchewan

• Mineralization confirmed in all trenches, with one chip sample returning a high of 29.9% REE+Y (Semi-Quantitative Analysis), and an overall average of 3.8% for the 36 samples

• A total of five samples exceeded Acme Lab’s detection limits for one to four of the lanthanides (Ce, La, Nd, and Pr).

• A total of 18 samples exceed 2% REE+Y, of which six exceed 5% REE+Y and three exceed 10% REE+Y.

• Thin sections confirm Monazite-(Ce) as the near exclusive REE bearing mineral, with most grains ranging from 200 μm to 1 mm+

• Monazite may locally comprise up to 60% of host lithology

Page 10: Objective Capital Rare Earth and Minor Metals Investment Summit: The Archie Lake Rare Earth Element Property in Saskatchewan - Peter Dickie

• Semi-continuous chip sampling across an approximate 5 m width

returned 5.9% REE+Y.

• Jungle Well project 150km west of Mt. Weld• Laverton Projects 45 km’s north of Mt. Weld• Collectively, the projects represent an area of approximately 170,000 ha.

Jungle Wells• Evaluated for diamonds in 1990’s, • During 2007, a trench sampling programme identified significant

REE values from an exposed dyke of 6.9% and 8% REE.

A 2009 follow-up sampling produced the following results:

• The Laverton Rare Earth Project is located 45km north of Mt Weld and has two untested circular magnetic features.

• Its important to note that rare earth mineralization occurs in residual regolith over a carbonatite plug at Mt Weld.

• Carbonatite veins occur up to 5km from the main plug at Mt Weld which is surrounded by a 500 metre radius annulus of alkali metasomatism comprising alkali feldspar and biotite.
