Ucore Rare Metals Inc Produces 99.5%+ Neodymium-Praseodymium Oxide and Ships Qualification Samples to Major Rare Earth Magnet Manufacturers Ucore Rare Metals Inc. had produced 99.5%+ neodymium-praseodymium oxide generated at its 52-stage RapidSX Demonstration Plant in Kingston, Ontario. Initial NdPr oxide qualification samples were shipped to major rare earth permanent magnet manufacturers serving North American and European supply chains. Testing of the samples begin the process of confirming purity, phase composition, consistency, and compatibility with customer-compliant NdFeB permanent magnet manufacturing processes. The qualification work is intended to support the development of structured definitive supply agreements aligned with Ucore’s planned Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex and its Commercialization and Demonstration Facility in Kingston, Ontario. The sample shipments mark an important step in Ucore’s strategy to connect its RapidSX rare earth separation platform directly with downstream magnet, metal, alloy, and advanced materials supply chains. NdPr oxide is a critical midstream material that is converted into metal and alloy feedstock for neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets, which are used across high-performance motors, robotics, electric vehicles, industrial automation, renewable energy systems, and defense applications. The NdPr oxide qualification samples were produced as part of Ucore’s ongoing demonstration and commercialization work. During this work, the Company’s 52-stage RapidSX Demonstration Plant at its Commercialization and Demonstration Facility in Kingston, Ontario, processed a heavy mixed rare earth oxide feedstock derived from an ionic clay source and produced 99.5%+ NdPr chloride. Ucore subsequently converted a portion of this chloride solution into 99.5%+ NdPr oxide. The evaluation work by major downstream customers focuses on confirming that Ucore’s rare earth oxides meet the technical, quality, and traceability requirements for use in Western magnet and advanced materials supply chains. The qualification process is expected to include: independent chemical assay work to confirm rare earth oxide purity and key impurity levels; confirmation of oxide characteristics, including phase composition, handling, moisture, and consistency; assessment of compatibility with magnet manufacturing requirements, including alloy formulation, process qualification, and finished magnet compliance expectations; and development of product specifications, quality assurance protocols, logistics requirements, and commercial terms to support definitive long-term supply agreements. This qualification process is a key step toward elevating strategic relationships currently at the MOU level and could contribute toward potential commercial offtake arrangements. It allows downstream manufacturers and advanced materials customers to certify that Ucore’s separated rare earth oxide products meet their required technical specifications before larger-volume supply commitments are finalized.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 6.2% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$14m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 6.2% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (58% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (CA$44m net loss in 2 years). Announcement • Apr 15

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 41% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders.

All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (23% average weekly change).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.8% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. Provides an Update on RapidSXTM Rare Earth Element Separation Technology Platform and the Company's Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex Technology Deployment Process Ucore Rare Metals Inc. provided an update on its RapidSXTM rare earth element separation technology platform and the Company's Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex technology deployment process. The work is taking place at the Company's RapidSXTM Commercialization and Demonstration Facility in Kingston, Ontario, which is operated by its laboratory partner Kingston Process Metallurgy Inc. The Ucore, IMC, KPM, and Mech-Chem Associates Inc. commercialization team continues to make significant strides in the procurement and construction process for the RapidSXTM REE demonstration-scale plant. The final engineered layout of the Demo Plant takes up nearly all of the 5,000 square foot CDF. And the concept of building a plant within an existing building is the go-forward engineering process that the Team will replicate to create the first full-scale SMC within one of three designated Louisiana brownfield siteii facilities once the selection process is finalized. As Ucore announced on October 17, 2022, the Louisiana SMC is scheduled to initially produce 2,000 tonnes of total rare earth oxides by the end of 2024, increasing to 5,000 tonnes by 2026. The Company is engaged in numerous discussions for the required development funding for its first SMC. The project is expected to be funded with CAD 15+ million from the State of Louisiana, prepurchase and supply offtake agreements, various debt financing programs, government grants, and other means. Since acquiring IMC in May of 2020, Ucore's 2-1/2 year RapidSXTM development program has allowed the Company to position itself as a first-mover toward the commercial production of heavy and light REOs in North America. The assembled commercialization team is fully integrated into all CDF activities and is aligned to develop the full-scale SMC techno- economic assessment and engineering data transfer. The efficiencies and environmental advantages resulting from the CDF demonstration processes are, and will continue to be, directly incorporated into the full-scale SMC engineering design packages. This integrated process rapidly positions Ucore to meet the demanding schedule requirements for developing the first SMC and corresponding REO production for the Company's emerging list of prospective downstream partners. Ucore's REE separation Demo Plant is designed to: Have the ability to process tens of tonnes of mixed rare earth concentrates on a per annum basis: from multiple feedstock sources, including the heavy REE and light REE feedstocks planned for the full-scale SMCs. Be capable of processing all RapidSXTM splits required to produce individual praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, and dysprosium. Have a parallel 51-stage conventional solvent extraction mixer/settler circuit that will match the RapidSXTM process' configuration and enable direct head-to-head comparison of the performance of RapidSXTM vs. CSX.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. Updates on Bokan 2022 Field Sampling Program Ucore Rare Metals Inc. provided an update regarding the 2022 field sampling program at its Bokan-Dotson Ridge heavy rare earth element mineral resource project. Aurora Geosciences Ltd.'s contractors, consisting of two geologists and three geotechnical laborers, were on site from May 13 to June 10, 2022. This work was followed by sample submissions to the Bureau Veritas preparation lab in Juneau, Alaska. Final analyses are still in process at the Bureau Veritas laboratory in Vancouver, BC, Canada, with current assay analyses times measured in months due to the extremely high levels of mineral exploration activity. Additional details of the Field Program: Two new 25-ton bulk samples were collected from the western portion of the main Dotson Ridge mineralized zone. This will enable a comparison to the bulk material collected from the east side of the main Dotson Ridge mineralized zone in 2011. A total of 31 new sites across the entire Dotson Ridge zone were channel sampled and consisted of 137 samples. These 31 channel sites varied from two samples extending over a total of 1- meter to up to eleven samples across 4-meters. These sample locations were selected to fill in gaps in Aurora's geological model of the deposit and improve the confidence level of the published resource for the property. · All accommodations, rental equipment, marine & aircraft charters, and camp supplies were sourced from local Ketchikan suppliers, and two of the five geological contractors were Ketchikan locals. The camp cook and drilling & blasting subcontractors were also sourced from Southeast Alaska. Aurora expects that the results of the channel sampling program will allow a significant portion of the modeled rare earth resource to be upgraded from `Indicated' to now `Measured.' It is also expected that the total tonnage of the current mineral resource will marginally increase due to the new exposures of mineralized vein materials discovered in the Field Program.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. Upscales Its REE Demo Plant Capabilities and Streamlines the RapidSX Commercial Deployment Plan Ucore Rare Metals Inc. provided an update on the Innovation Metals Corp.i RapidSX rare earth element ("REE") separation technology platform and the Company's commercial Strategic Metals Complex ("SMC") technology deployment process (the "Program"). The work is taking place at the companies' laboratory partner's (Kingston Process Metallurgy Inc. ("KPM")) facility in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Since the Company's December 29, 2021, technology update, the Ucore, IMC, and KPM commercialization team (the "Team") has continued to assess and develop the RapidSXTM technology platform at the Commercialization and Development Facility ("CDF"). The critical component in this process is the design and construction of the RapidSXTM REE demonstration-scale plant ("Demo Plant") that will reside within the 5000-square-foot CDF. Up through Q1-2022, the Team had planned, designed and ordered equipment to construct an 18-stage RapidSXTM REE Demo Plant with subsequently planned incremental expansions to meet the broader commercial objectives of the Program throughout 2022 and 2023. However, in early 2022 Ucore received very positive results from the independent RapidSX technology evaluation, including the conclusion that a RapidSX production plant can potentially have 2/3 a smaller footprint than a conventional solvent extraction ("SX") with the same throughput. The Team then met with and received the buy-in from all Program stakeholders to expand the design and construction of the Demo Plant to 51-stages for the noted benefits described below. This enhanced capability allows Ucore the opportunity to achieve its broader objectives in 2022, thus, readying the Company for commercial RapidSX technology deployment on a faster track. With the increase in RapidSX processing stages, the Demo Plant will be able to process: Many feedstock sources, including planned light and heavy REE feedstocks for the SMCs; Tens of tonnes of mixed rare earth concentrate on a per annum basis: Including products for prospective metal/alloy makers and OEM qualifications; All RapidSXiii splits required to produce individual praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), terbium (Tb), and dysprosium (Dy).

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. Mobilizes Geological Crew to Bokan Mountain as Prices for Heavy Rare Earth Oxides Continue to Rise Ucore Rare Metals Inc. announced the planned mobilization of a geological crew to conduct Ucore's Summer 2022 fieldwork program at the Company's Bokan-Dotson Ridge Zone mineral deposit on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, USA. The Program is a continuation of Ucore's 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2014 Bokan Mountain Complex exploration drill programs and is being undertaken by Aurora Geosciences (Alaska) Ltd. of Juneau, Alaska. The Program is designed to improve the geological confidence of the mineral deposit in preparation for a forthcoming planned pre-feasibility study, as the rare earth oxide market continues its favourable response to the increased electrification demands related to the electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors. The approximately 5-week Program consists of two primary planned objectives: Conduct a channel sampling program along the 2 km exposed vein outcroppings of the Dotson Ridge Zone and incorporate these results into the current deposit model. Upgrade the Bokan-Dotson Ridge Zone Mineral Resource estimate from the current 18% Indicated and 82% Inferred classifications to include a 17% to 20% Measured classification later in 2022. The Measured resource will be drawn predominantly from the current Indicated resource, with over 90% of the new Measured material being drawn from the Indicated resource and 10% from the Inferred resource. Extract 50 tonnes of additional mineralized material from two 2021 selected bulk sample locations to support a follow-on mill flowsheet pilot-scale testing program as part of a PFS. This work will be derived from the current mill flowsheet development work that is ongoing at SGS Canada Inc. The produced mineral concentrate from this pilot-scale testing will then be processed at the RapidSXTM Commercialization and Development Facility's Demonstration Plant as part of Ucore's commercial technology deployment process. The Program is a prerequisite step in preparation for obtaining potential feedstock mineral concentrate from Bokan to supply the Company's planned Alaska Strategic Metals Complex targeted for Ketchikan, Alaska. The Bokan-Dotson Ridge Zone is amongst the highest grade heavy rare earth element Mineral Resources in the United States. The Bokan Project includes terbium (Tb) and dysprosium (Dy) oxides, the two HREEs oxides associated with EV permanent magnet synchronous motors. Board Change • Apr 27

IMC's proprietary RapidSX technology is being commercialized for the intended cost-effective bulk separation and purification of rare-earth elements ("REEs") -- including both heavy REEs ("HREEs") and light REEs ("LREEs") -- for the production of REE oxides ("REOs"), in addition to other critical metals, such as lithium ("Li"), nickel ("Ni"), and cobalt ("Co") for lithium-ion battery materials. IMC's proprietary RapidSX technology is being commercialized for the intended cost-effective bulk separation and purification of rare-earth elements ("REEs") -- including both heavy REEs ("HREEs") and light REEs ("LREEs") -- for the production of REE oxides ("REOs"), in addition to other critical metals, such as lithium ("Li"), nickel ("Ni"), and cobalt ("Co") for lithium-ion battery materials. Commissioning of the RapidSX demonstration-scale pilot plant ("RapidSX Demonstration Plant") is scheduled to start in Third Quarter 2021 with a comprehensive, independent techno-economic study and the design of a commercial-scale REE separation facility, both planned for completion in First Quarter 2022. With the anticipated ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of the RapidSX Demonstration Plant on REE feedstocks, IMC expects RapidSX to be ready for commercial adoption and implementation in approximately 15 months from now, via revenue-producing licensing agreements with IMC customers. RapidSX Test Program Agreements with Multiple US-Allied REE Producers: The response by potential end users/licensees of the RapidSX technology for commercial REE separation
has been excellent. IMC is in numerous advanced-stage negotiations for RapidSX Test Program
Agreements ("TPAs") with current and near-term REE producers in US-allied jurisdictions who desire
testing regarding the utilization of the RapidSX technology for the separation of specific end-user mixed
REE concentrates ("MRECs"). Ucore looks forward to providing further updates on IMC's executed TPAs
in First Quarter 2021. IMC has been actively evaluating various already commercially available US-allied-sourced LREE and HREE
MRECs from existing mining operations (rather than from exploration properties) to develop a
comprehensive dataset that will demonstrate the versatility of the RapidSX technology for REE separation.
The evaluation process will lead to the final selection of one such MREC to serve as the initial REE feedstock
for the forthcoming RapidSX Demonstration Plant. Ucore expects to provide further updates on the MREC
feedstock options being explored by IMC in First Quarter 2021. Announcement • Jan 29
