October 25th, 2011 Rare Earth Industries Provides Corporate Update VANCOUVER, BC – October 25th, 2011 – Rare Earth Industries Ltd (the "Company" or "REI") (RND.V) is pleased to provide an update on its current operations. The Company has recently completed the Phase 2 exploration program at its Mt. Bisson Project in British Columbia. The program consisted of extensive soil and rock channel sampling in an effort to gain more information on and expand the previously identified high grade REE zones located during the Phase 1 program where samples grading up to 10.86% TREO were returned. Assay data for the Phase 2 program is expected shortly. Having now completed the phase 2 program for Mt. Bisson, the Company has taken immediate steps to reduce its ongoing monthly operating costs, with a view of preserving cash and positioning the Company to assess other strategic opportunities both within and outside of the rare earths and specialty metals sector. The Company would like to thank Canon Bryan (CFO, EVP Corporate Development, Director), Reinis Sipols (COO), and Jim Walchuck (Director), who have resigned from their respective positions, for their contributions to the Company. Commented CEO Rob Smith, "REI is well financed with approximately $3.6 Million in the treasury. With recent market disruptions and our strong balance sheet, our Board and strong team of outside advisors are reviewing various market opportunities that will allow us to further enhance shareholder value in the near term."
