Business Description

Quest Rare Minerals Ltd., incorporated in 2007, is a Canadian-based company, its exploration focused on the identification and discovery of new world-class Rare Earth deposit opportunities. Quest is currently advancing several high-potential rare earth projects in Canada's rare earth exploration areas: the Strange Lake and Misery Lake areas of northeastern Québec. Quest continues to pursue high-value project rare earth opportunities throughout North America. The Strange Lake property, located 220 km northeast of Schefferville and 125 km west of the Voisey Bay Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Mine, covers an area of 54,000 hectares. Exploration is focused around the historical Strange Lake rare earth element (REE) deposit discovered by the Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) and around additional anomalous REE showings identified by Quest crews on the property. The Misery Lake property is located 120 km south of the Strange Lake Project and covers a total area of 79,407 hectares. The rare earth potential of the Misery Lake area was first recognized by Quest exploration crews in August 2007 when reconnaissance bedrock sampling over an unusual regional magnetic feature returned grab sample results of up to 27% iron oxide (Fe2O3), 1.2% phosphate (P2O5), 1.5% titanium oxide (TiO2) and 2.25% TREO.
