Texas Rare Earth Resources Supports Congressional Initiatives to Stockpile Critical Rare Earth Minerals

June 14, 2013

• Company NI 43-101 Compliant Resource Estimates 13.1 million kg of Measured and Indicated (plus 24.5 million kg Inferred) Dysprosium Oxide and 100.6 million kg of Measured and Indicated (plus 188.6 million kg Inferred) Yttrium Oxide
• Additionally, NI 43-101 Compliant Resource Estimates Measured and Indicated Minerals: 13.4 million kg of Erbium Oxide, 3.6 million kg of Lutetium Oxide, 2.9 million kg of Thulium Oxide and 23.1 million kg of Ytterbium Oxide

Texas Rare Earth Resources Corp. (TRER), a heavy rare earths exploration company, in response to proposed legislation by the United States House Armed Services Committee, wishes to express its support for the stockpiling initiatives of rare earth elements (“REE’s”) and in particular dysprosium and yttrium.

There is a legislative proposal before the Armed Services Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. This initiative by the House will encourage the U.S. Department of Defense to secure high priority strategic rare earth elements including dysprosium and yttrium. Both of these metals have been identified in the Round Top mountain project.

With a poly-metallic long-life resource located in the continental United States approximately 70 miles southeast of El Paso, Texas, TRER is exploring opportunities to supply the vast quantities of critical rare earths necessary to insure the integrity of US national security along with any other industrial uses. In addition to potentially providing the State of Texas with millions of dollars of annual royalty income, the Round Top project could be a significant catalyst in the revitalization of Hudspeth County.

Dan Gorski, CEO, commented: “We are pleased that the House Armed Services Committee is addressing the issue of critical mineral availability in the national security supply chain. In addition to dysprosium and yttrium specifically mentioned, TRER may be able to provide other equally significant critical rare earth minerals such as erbium, lutetium, thulium, and ytterbium and looks forward to working with interested parties in lessening US dependence on foreign sources of these minerals”.

Dan Gorski further commented: “As a result of dramatic advances in our metallurgical studies which have been confirmed by outside independent consultants, we are confident that we will dramatically lower the cost and increase the potential profitability of our Round Top project and look forward to publicly sharing updates on these studies in the near future”.

Cautionary Note to Investors Regarding Mineral Estimates

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) limits disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. This press release uses terms that comply with reporting standards in Canada and certain estimates are made in accordance with Canadian National Instrument NI 43-101 (“NI 43-101″) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the “CIM Standards”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosures an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. This press release uses the terms “measured and indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources.” We advise U.S. investors that while these terms are recognized by Canadian regulations, the terms are not recognized under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Mineral resources in these categories have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. “Inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and, under Canadian regulations, cannot form the basis of a pre-feasibility or feasibility study, except in limited circumstance. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant “reserves” as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and all necessary permits and government approvals must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. U.S. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 reserves. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our latest reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.
