Ucore Rare Metals (TSXV:UCU) has drawn fresh attention after reporting the submission of its final Phase 1 documentation under an agreement with the US Department of War, which focuses on its RapidSX rare earth separation technology.

See our latest analysis for Ucore Rare Metals.

The Phase 1 report appears to have arrived after a sharp pullback, with a 30 day share price return of a 25.81% decline and a 1 day gain of 2.90%. The 1 year total shareholder return remains extremely high, and short term momentum looks to be cooling after strong year to date and 90 day share price gains.

If this rare earths update has your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is available in the sector. You can use our 31 best rare earth metal stocks as a starting point.

With Ucore Rare Metals posting a very high 1 year total return, trading at a large discount to its analyst price target and intrinsic value estimate, and experiencing a recent 30 day pullback, is there still a buying opportunity here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Preferred Price to Book Multiple of 16.8x: Is It Justified?

On traditional metrics, Ucore Rare Metals looks expensive, with a P/B ratio of 16.8x against the Canadian Metals and Mining industry average of 3.8x and a peer average of 15.1x. This is the case even though the shares last closed at CA$7.10 and are flagged as trading at a large discount to both analyst price targets and the SWS DCF estimate of future cash flow value.

P/B compares the market value of the company to its book value, which can matter a lot for resource focused businesses where hard assets and projects sit heavily on the balance sheet. A 16.8x P/B suggests investors are paying a substantial premium over the company’s reported net assets, despite Ucore currently generating no revenue and reporting a net loss of CA$33.29m.

Relative to its sector, that premium is steep, with the P/B multiple more than 4x the broader Canadian Metals and Mining industry average of 3.8x and also above the 15.1x peer average. This points to the market attaching a high expectation to Ucore’s future projects and forecasts, at a time when the company has less than 1 year of cash runway, is unprofitable, and has seen substantial shareholder dilution and significant insider selling over the past 3 months.

See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.

Result: Price to book ratio of 16.8x (OVERVALUED)

However, there are clear pressure points here, including less than 1 year of cash runway and recent shareholder dilution, which could weigh on how the story plays out.

Find out about the key risks to this Ucore Rare Metals narrative.

Another View: DCF Suggests A Very Different Story

While the 16.8x P/B ratio makes Ucore Rare Metals look expensive next to the 3.8x industry average and 15.1x peer average, our DCF model points in the opposite direction. At CA$7.10, the shares are flagged as trading about 69.4% below an estimated future cash flow value of CA$23.24, which presents a very different picture of potential risk and reward. So which signal do you put more weight on: the rich balance sheet multiple or the discounted cash flow gap?

Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 23, 2026) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company") is pleased to comment on recent price increases for a number of rare earth elements, in addition to the significant bifurcation of pricing inside of China versus outside of pricing.

On April 4, 2025, China imposed export controls on seven heavy rare earth elements— including dysprosium, terbium, samarium and gadolinium- with related oxides, metals, and permanent magnets. These restrictions, aimed at strengthening oversight of critical, dual-use materials, require exporters to obtain licenses, impacting global supply chains in electronics, defense, and EV industries and remain in place today.

As a result, dysprosium oxide prices in China recently increased to over $200 per kg, with ex-China pricing more than 5 times that, at $1,000/kg. Terbium oxide has increased to $900/kg in China, with prices over $4,500 per kg outside of China. The significant price discrepancies for rare earths inside China versus the rest of the world are most pronounced for these heavy rare earths, reflecting the lack of supply of these critical materials.

With respect to light rare earth oxides, praseodymium-Neodymium Oxide recently increased to the $120 per kg range in China and as high as $140 per kg in North America.

"These price differentials, particularly for the heavy rare earth elements, on which the US Department of War (DoW) has funded Ucore to focus, underscore the importance of the developing North American supply chain," said Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore. "While markets remain dynamic, the emergence of premium pricing for secure, Western-aligned supply supports the long-term fundamentals underlying our commercial strategy. Capturing the margin upside with a first mover refining strategy centered on the Louisiana SMC at this early stage, is a smart approach."

Ucore is advancing its RapidSX™ separation technology platform and planned commercial processing facilities in North America with a focus on both heavy (Terbium and Dysprosium) and light (Praseodymium-Neodymium) rare earths, as well as Samarium and Gadolinium, for with there is currently negligible supply outside of China. The Company's strategy targets the midstream processing and refining segment of the rare earth supply chain — a critical stage that has historically been concentrated in China.

TSX-Venture 50

The Company is further pleased to announce that it has been ranked second overall on the 2026 TSX Venture 50, the TSX Venture Exchange's annual ranking of the top-performing companies listed on the Exchange.

The TSX Venture 50 recognizes the top 50 TSXV-listed companies based on three equally weighted performance metrics over the previous year: (i) one-year share price appreciation, (ii) market capitalization growth, and (iii) Canadian consolidated trading value. Ucore's second-place ranking was supported by a 1,109% increase in market capitalization, reflecting heightened investor recognition of the Company's progress in advancing rare earth separation and refining capacity in North America.

OTCQX Best 50

The OTCQX recently announced that Ucore ranked number 1 on its list of 50 top performing companies on the OTCQX Best Market based on 2025 total return and average daily dollar volume growth. Ucore's ranking on these platforms, supported by significantly increased trading activity and market capitalization growth, reflects enhanced liquidity that improves access, price discovery, and flexibility for our shareholders.

Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance or results, and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements.

Regarding the disclosure in the press release above about government support for Ucore, the Company has assumed that the applicable projects (including each of the associated milestones) will be completed satisfactorily and in accordance with the respective agreements or letters of intent (as applicable) for such government support. For additional risks and uncertainties regarding the Company, its business activities, its ability to qualify for and receive any additional funding from any U.S. or Canadian government, the CDF and the aforementioned projects (generally), see the risk disclosure in the Company's MD&A for Q3-2025 (filed on SEDAR+ on November 25, 2025) (www.sedarplus.ca) as well as the risks described below.

Regarding the disclosure above in the "About Ucore Rare Metals Inc." section, the Company has assumed that it will be able to procure or retain additional partners and/or suppliers, in addition to Innovation Metals Corp. ("IMC"), as suppliers for Ucore's expected future SMCs. Ucore has also assumed that sufficient external funding will be found to continue and complete the ongoing research and development work required at the CDF and also later prepare a new National Instrument 43-101 technical report that demonstrates that Bokan is feasible and economically viable for the production of both REE and co-product metals and the then prevailing market prices based upon assumed customer offtake agreements. Ucore has also assumed that sufficient external funding will be secured to continue the development of the specific engineering plans for the SMCs and their construction and eventual commissioning and operations.

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 17, 2026) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the submission of final reporting under Phase 1 of its Other Transaction Agreement ("OTA" or "Agreement") with the US Department of War (the "Project"). As outlined in the Agreement, the report was submitted to the US Army Contracting Command – Orlando and included both a Final Demonstration Report and a Final Techno-Economic Analysis ("TEA") detailing the work conducted at Ucore's RapidSX™ Commercialization and Demonstration Facility ("CDF").

The report addressed a number of items, including the following:

Project objective and scope demonstrating a better approach to Chinese utilized conventional solvent extraction ("CSX"), including continuous improvement modifications to the RapidSX™ Demonstration Plant implemented during execution;
The demonstrated results of RapidSX™ processing applying the time-proven chemistry of solvent extraction chemistry much more efficiently through the combination of reaching chemical equilibrium faster within a smaller physical equipment footprint;
Results of processing tonnes of a real-world heavy mixed rare earth oxide ("MREO") feedstock with proprietary and patent-pending computerized RapidSX™ columns versus CSX mixer/settler units;
Analysis of Project results for refining "heavy" rare earth as well as samarium and gadolinium, which are crucial to national defense, green energy, EVs, and emerging industries; and
Milestones, Key Performance Metrics, Continuous Improvement of the Technical Approach, Lessons Learned, and Benefits to the US Government and Other Stakeholders.

The primary results of the Final Report focused on comparing the Company's proprietary RapidSX™ technology platform with concurrent testing in a neighboring conventional solvent extraction pilot plant, also constructed by Ucore. CSX is the only technology currently being used at a significant commercial scale for the refining of rare earth elements. Separating individual elements, such as neodymium from praseodymium or dysprosium from terbium, requires sophisticated solvent-extraction chemical processes. As demonstrated through the work at the CDF, the modular RapidSX™ technology platform executed the solvent extraction chemistry with precision and flexibility.

Phase 1 of the Project resulted in approximately 6,000 hours of run time on the Company's RapidSX™ Demonstration Plant in a simulated commercial production environment and the production of thousands of liters of PrNd, SmEuGd, Sm, Gd, Tb, and Dy chloride products – with additional small batch amounts of oxide products. There were over 10,000 points of recovery and purity comparisons with conventional SX, clearly demonstrating RapidSX™ technology's efficacy with respect to planned commercial operational parameters and the smart deployment of capital, enabled by its inherent scalability and modularity.

Phase 2

Phase 2 of the Agreement, which was executed in May of 2025, is currently underway, with 5 of 20 milestones completed to date. Work under Phase 2 of the Agreement will culminate in the construction, commissioning, and demonstration of one commercial-scale RapidSX™ machine at the Company's commercial processing facility in Alexandria, Louisiana – The Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex. Subsequent RapidSX™ machines installed in series will form the first stage of 2,500 tonnes per annum of total rare earth oxide ("TREO") processing for rare earth oxide production.

"Breaking the Chinese advantages of state-backed processing capacity requires a 21st century approach with digital manufacturing savvy and a reasonable deployment of capital," said Pat Ryan, P.Eng., Chairman and CEO of Ucore Rare Metals Inc. "The completion of the Phase I Report for the DoW under our OTA and a path to commercialization with Phase 2 financial support clearly shows processing independence has become a national security priority for the US Administration worthy of sustained investment."

The Company anticipates releasing more detailed information on the Project's results and the Techno-Economic Assessment upon formal acceptance by the US Army Contracting Command – Orlando, which is expected in the coming weeks.

Ucore Rare Metals recently faced pressure during a broad metals-sector downturn, as investors reacted to risk-off sentiment and a stronger US dollar while watching upcoming macro events such as the Lunar New Year in China.
At the same time, the company’s plan to move its RapidSX rare earth separation technology toward commercial deployment in Louisiana by mid-2026 kept attention on its role in the evolving critical minerals supply chain.
We’ll now examine how this combination of sector-wide volatility and Ucore’s RapidSX commercialization efforts may shape the company’s investment narrative.

Find companies with promising cash flow potential yet trading below their fair value.

What Is Ucore Rare Metals' Investment Narrative?

To own Ucore Rare Metals today, you have to believe in the long-term need for Western-controlled rare earth separation and in RapidSX becoming a commercially relevant part of that supply chain. The recent 14.6% drop during the metals-sector selloff looks more like a sentiment shock than a thesis change, but it does underline how exposed Ucore is to risk-off moves while it has no revenue, widening losses and less than a year of cash runway. Near term, the key catalysts still sit around advancing RapidSX toward the planned Louisiana commercialization by mid-2026, firming up offtake and supply agreements such as the VAC and Yangibana frameworks, and securing additional funding on acceptable terms. The recent volatility simply makes those funding and execution risks feel more immediate.

However, one risk around funding and shareholder dilution is particularly important for investors to understand.
Despite retreating, Ucore Rare Metals' shares might still be trading above their fair value and there could be some more downside. Discover how much.Exploring Other PerspectivesTSXV:UCU 1-Year Stock Price Chart

Seven fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community span roughly CA$2.40 to CA$23.97, showing how far apart private investors are on Ucore’s potential. Set against that wide range, the recent sector-wide pullback and Ucore’s larger losses keep the focus on whether RapidSX progress and future funding decisions can support the business through to planned commercialization, something readers may want to examine from several angles.

The 1 year total shareholder return is very large at over 13x, indicating strong recent momentum on top of an already substantial multi year total shareholder return base.

If this kind of critical minerals story has your attention, it could be a good moment to widen the lens and check out fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as potential next ideas.

With Ucore posting very strong recent returns and trading at a 59.51% discount to one intrinsic value estimate, as well as a 23.14% discount to the CA$12.17 analyst target, is there still a buying opportunity here or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Preferred Price-to-Book Multiple of 23.2x: Is it justified?

On a P/B basis, Ucore Rare Metals trades at 23.2x, which is well above peers and the broader Canadian Metals and Mining industry.

The P/B ratio compares the company’s market value to its book value, so a higher figure usually reflects strong expectations around future assets, profitability or both. For a business that is currently loss making with minimal reported revenue and less than one year of cash runway, that kind of premium suggests investors are placing a lot of weight on future project execution and the potential value of its rare earth assets and technology.

Against that backdrop, Ucore Rare Metals also screens as trading at a 59.5% discount to one SWS DCF fair value estimate of CA$24.40 per share and at a discount to the CA$12.17 analyst target. In other words, while the P/B multiple looks expensive versus the sector, some investors may see that premium as reflecting expectations around the growth forecasts already flagged in analyst models, including revenue growth forecasts and the path to profitability.

Relative to the Canadian Metals and Mining industry average P/B of 3.8x and a peer average of 7.5x, Ucore Rare Metals’ 23.2x multiple is far higher, pointing to much stronger market expectations than for typical sector names.

See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.

Result: Price-to-book ratio of 23.2x (OVERVALUED)

However, that premium sits against almost no current revenue and a CA$33.29m net loss, so any setback in project execution or funding could quickly test sentiment.

Find out about the key risks to this Ucore Rare Metals narrative.

Another view on value: DCF points the other way

While the 23.2x P/B makes Ucore Rare Metals look expensive next to the 3.8x industry average and 7.5x peer level, our DCF model tells a different story. On that framework, the shares trade at a 59.5% discount to an estimated fair value of CA$24.40 per share.

If the book based premium reflects optimism that later proves too high, the P/B ratio could compress. If the DCF assumptions are closer to reality, current pricing could instead reflect a gap between expectations and projected cash flows. Which signal do you think better fits your risk appetite?

Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 26, 2026) – Wealth Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: WML) (OTCQB: WMLLF) (SSE: WMLCL) (FSE: EJZN) (the "Company" or "Wealth"), announces that further to its news release dated January 12, 2026, due to strong investor demand, has increased the size of its previously announced private placement from up to 12,500,000 million units of the Company to up to 18,750,000 units in the capital of the Company (the "Units") at a subscription price of $0.08 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000.

After a prolonged lull in the lithium market, the demand for lithium is surging as the world realizes anew that commodities cannot be printed, they must be created in reality. Lithium Carbonate Equivalent now trades above US$23,000 per tonne, up strongly for the past six months and I believe this price strength will continue for some time. The Wealth team is working hard on corporate development and I look forward to sharing with the investor public news of our progress in 2026."

REE Automotive Ltd. (NASDAQ:REE) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. REE Automotive Ltd. operates as an automotive technology company in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and internationally. With the latest financial year loss of US$112m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$100m, the US$23m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on REE Automotive's investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

According to the 2 industry analysts covering REE Automotive, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2027, before turning a profit of US$28m in 2028. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 3 years from today. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2028? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 60% year-on-year, on average, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

NasdaqCM:REE Earnings Per Share Growth December 31st 2025

We're not going to go through company-specific developments for REE Automotive given that this is a high-level summary, but, bear in mind that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

Check out our latest analysis for REE Automotive

One thing we would like to bring into light with REE Automotive is its relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in REE Automotive's case is 61%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.

Extension Allows Additional Time to Meet Minimum Bid Price Requirement
Company Remains Focused on Compliance Strategy and Execution

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REE Automotive Ltd. (Nasdaq: REE), an automotive technology company that develops software-defined vehicle (SDV) technology solutions, today announced that the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) has granted the Company’s request for a 180-day extension to meet the $1 minimum bid price requirement.

On July 1, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that the closing bid price of its Class A ordinary shares had been below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a deficiency under the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), REE was provided an initial 180-day period through December 29, 2025 to regain compliance.

Following REE’s requested extension, on December 30, 2025 Nasdaq determined that REE meets all other applicable continued listing criteria and granted REE an additional 180-day extension through June 29, 2026 to cure the deficiency. During this second compliance period, REE’s Class A ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “REE,” and the extension has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities.

To regain compliance, the Company’s ordinary shares must achieve a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for at least a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the additional compliance period, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H), after which Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its shares and evaluate all available options to regain compliance within the allotted timeframe, including effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

“We remain focused on executing our strategy and are committed to taking the steps necessary to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements,” said Daniel Barel, Co-founder and CEO of REE. “We appreciate Nasdaq’s consideration and the additional time provided as we continue to advance our technology and engage with partners and customers.”

REE Automotive Ltd.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REE Automotive Ltd. (Nasdaq: REE) (“REE” or the “Company”), an automotive technology company that develops software-defined vehicle (SDV) technology and provides full by-wire platforms, today announced financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

“Over the past several months, we’ve taken decisive actions intended to accelerate delivery of our software-defined vehicle technologies, improve our cost structure, and strengthen execution. This includes shifting from capital-intensive vehicle production to a technology-first approach focused on collaborating with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and strategic partners with the goal of bringing our technology to the market faster and to drive broad adoption across multiple vehicle platforms,” said Daniel Barel, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of REE. “During this period, we implemented meaningful changes to optimize our cost structure while deepening existing strategic partnerships and pursuing new opportunities with companies that benefit from our SDV technology.”

“We met our goal and converted the previously announced MOU with a leading technology company into a binding agreement. This program will be focused on developing a software-defined autonomous public transport shuttle based on REE’s Zonal Architecture SDV technology and utilizes our REEcorner™. During the development program, REE will design and manufacture several prototypes, and any procurement of the REEcorner™ for serial production will be subject to a separate serial supply agreement. The implementation of the binding agreement is pending the satisfaction of certain closing conditions by the leading technology company, which are outside of REE’s control. If the closing conditions are satisfied, the program is expected to commence and is estimated to generate up to approximately $107 million over a two-year period following commencement.”

“In November 2025, we also announced an MOU with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (Mitsubishi Fuso) to explore and evaluate the application of our SDV capabilities, including our Zonal Architecture SDV and x-by-wire technologies, in a commercial-vehicle context. The joint project under the MOU is already underway and as part of this collaboration, the companies plan to assess the integration of REE’s technology on a Mitsubishi Fuso platform and evaluate the potential for broader future use, subject to the outcomes of the evaluation and any subsequent agreements. We believe there is significant potential with Mitsubishi Fuso to expand our SDV offering to the market post-2030, subject to completing a successful evaluation of our technology and entering into a separate nomination agreement.

“Additionally, we have recently signed an MOU with Cascadia Motion (a wholly-owned subsidiary of BorgWarner Inc.) to co-develop and commercialize a next generation electric drive unit (EDU) built on REEcorner™ technology. This compact, cross-platform combines BorgWarner’s Cascadia expertise with REE’s technology to provide OEMs with a scalable solution that meets growing global demand for electrification. Under a phased plan, including a royalty-bearing arrangement, Cascadia will have an exclusive option to distribute the EDU, and with the market estimated by industry research estimates to double by 2035, we believe this partnership may position REE to capture significant growth.

“Operationally, we made significant progress on delivering on our commitment to reduce our operating expenses1 from a monthly average of approximately $6 million in the first half of 2025 to an estimated monthly average of $3.1 to $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. We are currently targeting to reduce it further to approximately $1.8 million per month by the end of the first quarter of 2026, subject to the execution of our cost reduction plan, which includes a reduction-in-force, other operational efficiencies and other factors, representing a 70% reduction compared to the first half of 2025. We believe that this disciplined approach underscores our commitment to delivering our long-term objectives and creating value for our shareholders,” said Daniel Barel.

Six Months Financial Results as of June 30, 2025, and Recent Highlights

$54.7 million in cash & cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, compared to $72.3 million in cash & cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2024. Each inclusive of a credit facility in the amount of $18 million. As of November 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were $17.2 million, excluding the credit facility.
Free Cash Flow (FCF) burn increased by 31% from $39.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $52.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily derived from production-related costs in the first quarter of 2025 that were mainly derived from tooling investments and inventory as part of the P7 program.
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) net loss decreased by approximately 33% from $36.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year (YoY) decrease in net loss was primarily driven by non-cash income from the remeasurement of warrants and derivative liabilities. This income was partially offset by non-cash inventory write-downs and impairment of long-lived assets, as well as by the recognition of a UK research and development (R&D) tax credit and grants from the UK government in the first half of 2024.
Non-GAAP net loss increased by approximately 8% from $33.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $36.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The YoY increase was primarily driven by the recognition of a UK R&D tax credit and grants from the UK government in the first half of 2024.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

1 Monthly average for operating expenses sets forth the Company’s ongoing operating expenses while excluding one-time charges including but not limited to: non-cash expenses such as impairment, inventory write-offs and share-based compensation expenses, one-time costs related to our production pause and reduction-in-force plans, grants received and R&D tax credits and other non-recurring expenses that are not considered by the management as ongoing operating expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided financial information in this press release that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with peer companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables below.

We believe that Free Cash Flow (FCF) tis a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash used in our operational activities and capital expenditures. Free Cash flow burn represents the negative cash outflow used in our activities as explained above.

We believe that non-GAAP net loss reflects an additional means of evaluating REE’s ongoing operating results and trends. We believe that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Caution About Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include, among others, statements regarding REE’s strategic shift to a technology-first business model; the anticipated timing, scope, benefits, and value of collaborations, commercial arrangements, and development programs; the potential to generate up to $107 million in revenue under a binding agreement that replaced a previously announced MOU; the potential for the closing conditions of the binding agreement with a leading technology company to be met and such agreement to be implemented; anticipated future agreements; market opportunities, including the EDU market doubling by 2035; targeted cash burn reductions and liquidity; the belief that REE’s disciplined approach underscores its commitment to delivering its long-term objectives and creating value for its shareholders; and projected capital needs. Although REE has entered into a binding agreement that contemplates up to $107 million in potential revenue, REE cannot predict whether or when the related project will commence. Project commencement depends solely on the satisfaction of specified closing conditions by the counterparty, which are outside REE’s control. If those conditions are not met, or are met later than expected, the project may be delayed or may not proceed, and anticipated revenue may never be realized. Actual results of matters addressed in these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and may differ substantially from those expressed or implied. Factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors”, and “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in REE’s annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2025, as updated by the REE’s subsequent filings with the SEC, including in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Exhibit 99.3 to Form 6-K that we furnished to the SEC on December 30, 2025. In addition, each of our memorandums of understanding contain aspects that are non-binding and different phases, which may not occur and/or result in successful completion. Market and industry forecasts are inherently uncertain and actual market growth may differ materially from such estimates. Our ability to execute our strategic plan depends on our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, access capital if needed, and manage cash expenditures. Even where we enter into binding agreements or MOUs, counterparties may delay or fail to perform, may not proceed to commercialization, may not exercise options or enter into serial production or nomination agreements, and we may not realize anticipated revenue, royalties, or other benefits. The forward-looking statements in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Cascadia Motions (a wholly owned subsidiary of BorgWarner Inc.) to manufacture, commercialize, and sell a new generation of compact electric drive unit (EDU) integrating REEcorner technology with Cascadia Motion for inverter-motor modules OEM programs globally.
Drive units expected to be available as off-the-shelf products at CascadiaMotion.com
According to industry research estimates, the global EDU is projected to double by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 9% from 2025 through 2035.
REE anticipates the distribution of its REEcorner-based EDUs under a phased commercial plan, including a royalty-bearing arrangement that enables BorgWarner to manufacture the EDU.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REE Automotive Ltd. (Nasdaq: REE) (“REE” or the “Company”), an automotive technology company that develops software-defined vehicle (SDV) technology solutions, today announced a strategic non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Cascadia Motion, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of BorgWarner Inc.) (“Cascadia Motions”). The MOU outlines cooperation across manufacturing, commercialization, and sale of a next-generation electric drive unit (EDU) based on REEcorner technology for global OEM electrification programs. The new EDU product will be jointly developed by Cascadia Motion and REE.

As part of an expected phased commercial plan, including a royalty-bearing agreement, REE would grant Cascadia Motion an exclusive, time-limited option to distribute a uniquely packaged EDU that integrates Cascadia Motion’s iM-125 drive unit (motor and inverter) with REEcorner technology. Together, the companies aim to offer a compact, cross-platform EDU that is designed to help OEMs accelerate EV development. The new EDU combined with REE’s vehicle control units is intended to support higher levels of functional safety, including ASIL-D, and to improve efficiency and time to market through secure, stable over-the-air (OTA) updates.

REE also plans to provide Cascadia Motion with access to its existing EDU assembly line, tooling, inventories, and supplier network to support manufacturing of the combined EDU Units, subject to negotiation of final terms and conditions.

“Integrating Cascadia Motion’s iM-125 drive unit with REEcorner technology bolsters our portfolio of off-the-shelf electric drive solutions, providing our customers with even more flexibility in their electrification programs,” said Joseph McHenry, General Manager of BorgWarner Portland and the Cascadia Motion brand. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering innovative, ready-to-integrate drive units that help OEMs reduce development time and streamline vehicle launch.”

This arrives at a time when, according to certain industry research estimates and publications, the global EDU market is expected to grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 9% from 2025 through 2035. These publications further expect the EDU market size to double by 2035 due to increased demand for electric vehicles. REE believes that this arrangement positions both companies to offer OEMs a scalable, advanced EDU solution with near-term availability.

“We believe that this MOU with Cascadia Motions represents a natural progression of our three-year collaboration and reinforces our mission to accelerate the industry’s transition to software-defined, by-wire mobility,” said Daniel Barel, CEO and co-founder of REE Automotive. “We believe this collaboration positions us to meet global demand at scale while laying the groundwork for next-generation, fully by-wire solutions.”

In addition to the EDU-focused product offering, the parties plan to evaluate demand for complete SDV solutions, including standalone REEcorner units and REE’s software products, which can supplement this offering or present additional capabilities for OEMs. REE’s SDV technology is a purpose-built foundation that replaces legacy domain systems with centralized, zonal control that simplifies design, cuts wiring, and accelerates development of software-defined vehicles. REE’s zonal architecture combines the REEcenter ECU, REEzonal ECUs, and REEgateway into a high-performance network that unites software packages of advance vehicle dynamic, chassis control, body control, autonomy integration, safety systems, and connectivity. This integrated approach is designed to simplify complexity, accelerated development, and future-proof vehicle programs that aim to integrate seamlessly into diverse commercial OEM plans.

The MOU builds on REE’s momentum as OEMs increasingly seek modern, software-defined architectures that shorten development cycles and unlock new vehicle configurations, such as low and flat chassis design, improved functional safety, and on-going secure and stable OTA updates. REE’s advanced zonal SDV architecture integrates seamlessly with legacy systems to improve safety, performance, and reliability. By combining this architecture with Cascadia Motion’s propulsion systems, the companies believe they are positioned to support OEMs transitioning toward software-defined vehicles built for continuous improvement and long-term adaptability.

We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Ucore Rare Metals Inc.'s (CVE:UCU) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Ucore Rare Metals Inc. engages in the extraction, beneficiation, and separation of rare and critical metal resources in Canada and the United States. With the latest financial year loss of CA$13m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of CA$33m, the CA$711m market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. As path to profitability is the topic on Ucore Rare Metals' investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality.

According to the 2 industry analysts covering Ucore Rare Metals, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2026, before generating positive profits of CA$26m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2027? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 71% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

TSXV:UCU Earnings Per Share Growth December 29th 2025

Underlying developments driving Ucore Rare Metals' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, keep in mind that generally a metal and mining business has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the natural resource mined and stage at which the company is operating. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.

Check out our latest analysis for Ucore Rare Metals

Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. Ucore Rare Metals currently has a relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in Ucore Rare Metals' case is 48%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.

This press release is issued pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids ("NI 62-104") and National Instrument 62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Dec. 5, 2025 /CNW/ – This release is being made by Randy Johnson to report information concerning holdings of Mr. Johnson and Orca Holdings, LLC ("Orca") in Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (the "Issuer" or "Ucore"). Orca is wholly owned by Mr. Johnson, serving as a holding company for Mr. Johnson's securities holdings. Mr. Johnson has been a director of Ucore since October 6, 2020.

On December 4, 2025, at the direction of Mr. Johnson, Orca completed a secondary market sale (the "Disposition") of an aggregate of 20,000 common shares of the Issuer ("Common Shares") at an average price of approximately $6.60 per Common Share for aggregate consideration of $132,000. The Disposition was made in connection with Mr. Johnson's investment strategy, having regard for various factors including, without limitation, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, liquidity replenishment from recent exercise of warrants, estate planning and tax planning.

As a result of the Disposition, Mr. Johnson now beneficially owns, or has control or direction over, 10,646,736 Common Shares, representing approximately 9.84% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, as of the date hereof.

As at the date of this press release, the Issuer reports having 108,205,120 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Immediately prior to the completion of the Disposition, Mr. Johnson (being the sole and controlling shareholder of Orca) directly or indirectly held beneficial ownership of, and control and direction over, 10,666,736 Common Shares, 10,368,165 Common Share purchase warrants and 380,000 stock options of the Issuer, representing approximately 9.86% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) or approximately 18.00% upon exercise of the warrants and the stock options (on a partially diluted basis, in the absence of the Condition Precedent). A number of the above-referenced Common Share purchase warrants are subject to a condition precedent to their exercise such that no such warrants shall be exercisable if such exercise would cause Mr. Johnson's direct or indirect ownership of the Issuer, as calculated on a partially diluted basis, to exceed 19.99% of the aggregate of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless the Issuer obtains prior shareholder approval in accordance with the applicable requirements of the TSXV (the "Condition Precedent").

Immediately following the completion of the Disposition, Mr. Johnson directly or indirectly held beneficial ownership of, and control and direction over, a total of 10,646,736 Common Shares, 10,368,165 Common Share purchase warrants and 380,000 stock options of the Issuer, representing approximately 9.84% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) or approximately 17.99% upon the exercise of the warrants and the stock options (on a partially diluted basis, in the absence of the Condition Precedent, which applies to certain of the above-referenced Common Share purchase warrants).

Other Information

Mr. Johnson may, from time to time, directly or indirectly (through Orca) increase or decrease his shareholdings or continue to hold the Issuer's securities as Mr. Johnson may determine appropriate in the normal course of investment activities.

The Issuer is located in 210 Waterfront Drive, Suite 106, Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada B4A 0H3, and Mr. Johnson is located in P.O. Box 8158, Ketchikan, Alaska, USA, 99901.

Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ:CRML) is one of the top lithium stocks to buy now. On August 26, the company signed a letter of intent for an offtake agreement with Ucore Rare Metals, a leader in rare and critical metal resources.

Under the terms of the agreement, Critical Metals is to supply up to 10,000 metric tons of rare earth concentrate from its Tanbreez Project. The concentrate is to be used as feedstock for Ucore’s rare earth element processing facility. While Ucore and Critical Metals are focused on lessening China’s grip on the rare earth ecosystem, they also remain focused on meeting the growing demand for rare earths and addressing national security challenges.

Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ:CRML) is a mining exploration and development firm focused on identifying and advancing deposits of lithium and rare earth elements. It is developing the Wolfsberg Lithium Project in Austria, which is Europe’s first fully permitted lithium mine, to become a significant supplier of lithium products for the European market. The company focuses on mining critical minerals essential for electrification, such as lithium for batteries, as well as other strategic metals, including rare earth elements. While we acknowledge the potential of CRML as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

The amended conversion price was $0.90 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of 1 common share of the Company (a "Common Share") plus ½ Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each full Warrant is exercisable by the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $1.30 per share for a period ending on the maturity date of the Debentures, being January 31, 2026.

Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture agreement, the outstanding principal amount of each Convertible Debenture is to be automatically converted into Units at the conversion price ($0.90) if the Common Shares traded at a closing price of $2.20 or more on the TSX Venture Exchange for 20 consecutive trading days. On September 2, 2025, the Company's Common Shares traded at a closing price above $2.20 for the 20th consecutive trading day. As a result, the Debentures automatically converted into Units of the Company as outlined above.

Since May of 2020, and prior to the triggering of the Automatic Conversion, a total of 1,700 Debentures had already been converted to Units of the Company at the election of the holders or repaid. As a result of the Automatic Conversion, the remaining 1,100 Debentures have now been converted, resulting in the issuance of 1,222,219 Common Shares and 611,108 Warrants, with the above-noted terms.

Certain of the Convertible Debentures which were automatically converted were owned by a related party of the Company. Specifically, Pat Ryan (Ucore's Chairman and CEO) held 10 of the Convertible Debentures (representing a principal amount of $10,000). The above-described transaction with Mr. Ryan is considered to be a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-01 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 since neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. No new insiders and no control persons were created in connection with the closing of the transactions.

Critical Metals Corp

Strategic LOI marks a major commercial milestone for the Company’s Tanbreez Project

10-year supply agreement of heavy rare earth concentrate from Tanbreez to Ucore’s U.S. Department of Defense funded Louisiana processing facility

NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) (“Critical Metals Corp” or the “Company”), a leading critical minerals mining company, today announced that it has signed a letter of intent (LOI) for an offtake agreement with Ucore Rare Metals Inc (“Ucore”), a leader in rare-and critical-metal resources, extraction, beneficiation, and separation technologies.

Under the terms of the multi-year offtake arrangement, Critical Metals Corp expects to supply up to 10,000 metric tons annually of rare earth concentrate from its Tanbreez Project, which represents approximately 10% of the project’s initial projected production. After hydro-metallurgical processing, the concentrate will be used as feedstock for Ucore’s rare earth element processing facility, which is focused on heavy rare earths and broke ground in May, in Alexandria, Louisiana and Ucore’s facility in Kingston, Ontario. The Louisiana facility, which received support and funding from the state government and the U.S. Department of Defense, will produce high-purity rare earth oxides from mixed rare earth carbonates or oxides, which Critical Metals Corp expects to produce at Tanbreez.

“Critical Metals Corp’s Tanbreez offers tremendous opportunities for Ucore given the significant concentration of heavy rare earths it contains, which are essential for our processing facility in Louisiana, and our downstream partners,” said Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore. “Both Critical Metals Corp and Ucore share a vision to lessen China’s grip of the rare earth ecosystem in the West, and we look forward to our partnership, positioning us both to meet the growing demand for rare earths while addressing national security challenges.”

“This development further validates the opportunities ahead for Critical Metals Corp and the strength of our world-class asset in Southern Greenland,” said Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of Critical Metals Corp. “Securing this offtake provides Critical Metals Corp both with our first buyer and the flexibility to supply other US based rare earth facilities in the future, given the immense size of our Tanbreez deposit. We look forward to teaming up with Ucore and their exceptional team to support the development of a robust supply chain in America that isn’t reliant on China.”

Next Steps

The parties are working expeditiously toward definitive documentation. The execution of definitive agreements remains subject to customary conditions including completion of due diligence, finalization of commercial terms, and necessary approvals.

About Critical Metals Corp.

Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) is a leading mining development company focused on critical metals and minerals, and producing strategic products essential to electrification and next generation technologies for the United States, Europe and their western world partners. Its flagship Project, Tanbreez, is one of the world's largest rare earth deposits and is located in Southern Greenland. The deposit is expected to have access to key transportation outlets as the area features year-round direct shipping access via deep water fjords that lead directly to the North Atlantic Ocean.

Another key asset is the Wolfsberg Lithium Project located in Carinthia, 270 km south of Vienna, Austria. The Wolfsberg Lithium Project is the first fully permitted mine in Europe and is strategically located with access to established road and rail infrastructure and is expected to be the next major producer of key lithium products to support the European market. Wolfsberg is well positioned with offtake and downstream partners to become a unique and valuable asset in an expanding geostrategic critical metals portfolio.

With this strategic asset portfolio, Critical Metals Corp is positioned to become a reliable and sustainable supplier of critical minerals essential for defense applications, the clean energy transition, and next-generation technologies in the western world.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Pat Ryan, P.Eng., Chairman and CEO of Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), a critical metals technology company developing scalable rare earth element (“REE”) refining infrastructure in North America.

To begin the interview, Ryan explained how his background helped shape Ucore’s mission.

“As I looked more closely at the supply chains for electric vehicles, I realized there are no metallic supply chains to feed these particular vehicles. I was a board member of Ucore at that time… and encouraged the board to look at actually building manufacturing plants, processing, and moving forward… Rare earth is just another market, but a very new one, and it needs a 21st-century digital manufacturing approach.”

He then detailed how Ucore’s refining platform gained validation from the U.S. government.

“The U.S. DoD put a bid out… to find the technology for processing and refining in the mid-market, something that’s very competitive. We had a $4 million U.S. contract to run our commercial demonstration plant using multiple feedstocks… generating heavy and light rare earth products and running thousands of hours. The DoD came to our Kingston plant and to central Louisiana, where we’re essentially doing a copy and paste of Kingston, and they really liked what they saw… They invested $18.4 million in mid-May, and by the end of May, we had a groundbreaking in Louisiana.”

Finally, he described how Ucore is transitioning from early-stage discussions to integrated commercial partnerships, with direct involvement from the U.S. Department of Defense.

“We have an MOU. Now, we’re moving to definitive agreements. Not just one-off transactions, but multiple-prong opportunities to bring supply back to the Western world. We’re putting those building blocks together to create definitive partnerships that allow us to get the job done very effectively. We continue to discuss with DoD on a biweekly basis… what the next part of their journey looks like.”

Join IBN’s Stuart Smith and Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore Rare Metals, for a conversation on rebuilding rare earth infrastructure, advancing digital refining, and leading the Western critical minerals race.

About Ucore Rare Metals Inc.

Through strategic partnerships, this plan includes disrupting the People's Republic of China's control of the North American REE supply chain through the near-term establishment of a heavy and light rare-earth processing facility in the U.S. State of Louisiana, subsequent Strategic Metal Complexes in Canada and Alaska and the longer-term development of Ucore's 100% controlled Bokan-Dotson Ridge Rare Heavy REE Project on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska, USA.

Ucore is listed on the TSXV under the trading symbol "UCU" and in the United States on the OTC Markets' OTCQX® Best Market under the ticker symbol "UURAF."

Forward-Looking Statements

For additional risks and uncertainties regarding the Company, the CDF, the Demo Plant and ongoing Programs (generally), see the risk disclosure in the Company's most recently filed MD&A, as filed on www.sedarplus.ca as well as the risks described below.

Regarding the disclosure above in the "About Ucore Rare Metals Inc." section, the Company has assumed that it will be able to procure or retain additional partners and/or suppliers, in addition to Innovation Metals Corp. ("IMC"), as suppliers for Ucore's expected future Strategic Metals Complexes ("SMCs"). Ucore has also assumed that sufficient external funding will be found to complete the Demo Plant demonstration schedule and also later prepare a new National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") technical report that demonstrates that the Bokan Mountain Rare Earth Element project ("Bokan") is feasible and economically viable for the production of both REE and co-product metals and the then prevailing market prices based upon assumed customer offtake agreements. Ucore has also assumed that sufficient external funding will be secured to continue the development of the specific engineering plans for the SMCs and their construction. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: IMC failing to protect its intellectual property rights in RapidSX™; RapidSX™ failing to demonstrate commercial viability in large commercial-scale applications; Ucore not being able to procure additional key partners or suppliers for the SMCs; Ucore not being able to raise sufficient funds to fund the specific design and construction of the SMCs and/or the continued development of RapidSX™; adverse capital-market conditions; unexpected due-diligence findings; the emergence of alternative superior metallurgy and metal-separation technologies; the inability of Ucore and/or IMC to retain its key staff members; a change in the legislation in Louisiana or Alaska and/or in the support expressed by the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority ("AIDEA") regarding the development of Bokan; the availability and procurement of any required interim and/or long-term financing that may be required; and general economic, market or business conditions.

Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined by the TSXV) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Forward-Looking Statements

Regarding the disclosure above in the "About Ucore Rare Metals Inc." section, the Company has assumed that it will be able to procure or retain additional partners and/or suppliers, in addition to Innovation Metals Corp. ("IMC"), as suppliers for Ucore's expected future Strategic Metals Complexes ("SMCs"). Ucore has also assumed that sufficient external funding will be found to complete the Demo Plant demonstration schedule and also later prepare a new National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") technical report that demonstrates that the Bokan Mountain Rare Earth Element project ("Bokan") is feasible and economically viable for the production of both REE and co-product metals and the then prevailing market prices based upon assumed customer offtake agreements. Ucore has also assumed that sufficient external funding will be secured to continue the development of the specific engineering plans for the SMCs and their construction. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: IMC failing to protect its intellectual property rights in RapidSX™; RapidSX™ failing to demonstrate commercial viability in large commercial-scale applications; Ucore not being able to procure additional key partners or suppliers for the SMCs; Ucore not being able to raise sufficient funds to fund the specific design and construction of the SMCs and/or the continued development of RapidSX™; adverse capital-market conditions; unexpected due-diligence findings; the emergence of alternative superior metallurgy and metal-separation technologies; the inability of Ucore and/or IMC to retain its key staff members; a change in the legislation in Louisiana or Alaska and/or in the support expressed by the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority ("AIDEA") regarding the development of Bokan; the availability and procurement of any required interim and/or long-term financing that may be required; and general economic, market or business conditions.

(Nasdaq: REE), an automotive technology company that develops and builds software-defined electric vehicles, is the recipient of Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Company of the Year award in the North American Electric Medium-Duty Vehicle Platform Industry category. The award honors REE for its innovative software-defined modular platform, which delivers scalable and flexible solutions to help OEMs and fleet operators address major challenges in today’s electric vehicle (EV) landscape.

“We are honored to receive Frost & Sullivan’s prestigious award, which reinforces our position as a leader in the automotive technology market,” said Daniel Barel, CEO and co-founder of REE. “This recognition validates our clear vision and technology evolution, as well as our ability to deliver industry-leading solutions that directly address today’s pressing challenges. By doing what we do best – staying focused on our proprietary technology and bringing scalable, software-defined vehicles to market – we are empowering OEMs and fleet operators with the solution they need in this rapidly evolving landscape.”

The company’s technology has already gained traction with several key industry players, including U-Haul, Penske Truck Leasing and Airbus UpNext. Unlike traditional automotive architectures, REE’s fully by-wire platform is designed from the ground up to integrate with autonomous driving systems, supporting autonomy without requiring extensive vehicle modifications for compatibility. REE is redefining fleet electrification and software-defined vehicle (SDV) technology by offering a modular, autonomous-ready and software-defined platform.

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 4, 2025) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company"), acknowledges the recent joint announcement by China's Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs regarding export restrictions on critical rare earth elements effective April 4, 2025.

As reported by multiple news sources, the export restrictions, applicable to all countries, include seven key medium and heavy rare earth elements, including samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium.

China's decision to implement these export controls underscores the critical importance of establishing a secure and independent rare earth supply chain in North America. Ucore remains steadfast in its commitment to mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities through the development and commercialization of its proprietary RapidSX™ rare earth element refining technology.

Ucore's Strategic Initiatives:

U.S. Department of Defense Collaboration: Ucore is currently processing heavy rare earth elements at its RapidSX™ Commercial Demonstration Plant (the "Demonstration Plant") further to its USD$4 million contract with the US Department of Defense. The Demonstration Plant was constructed in Kingston, Ontario for the purpose of demonstrating the RapidSX™ technology at commercial scale.
Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex (SMC): Ucore is progressing with the development of the Louisiana SMC in Alexandria, Louisiana. This facility is being designed to process broad both heavy and light mixed rare earth chemical concentrates, thereby reducing North America's reliance on foreign sources.
Government Support: Ucore has additionally secured a $4.28 million funding agreement from the Government of Canada to demonstrate the commercial efficacy of the RapidSX™ technology. This funding supports the production of high-purity rare earth elements from Canadian and U.S. feedstock sources. In addition to federal government support, the Company has executed a non-binding Letter of Intent with the State of Louisiana with respect to State grants, tax incentives, payroll rebates and other incentives with an estimated value of USD$15 million.

On March 20, 2025, President Trump invoked wartime powers under the Defense Production Act to address threats to America's national and economic security as a result of reliance on "hostile foreign powers' mineral production" (see Ucore Press Ucore Applauds White House Executive Action to Strengthen Critical Mineral Production – Ucore Rare Metals Inc.). The Executive Order outlines a number of initiatives to "facilitate domestic mineral production to the maximum extent possible" and is aimed at the production of a number of critical minerals, including rare earth elements. Ucore looks forward to continuing its work the US Department of Defense in developing a North American supply chain for these critical materials.

Pat Ryan, P.Eng., Chairman and CEO of Ucore, stated: "China's recent announcement highlights the urgent need for a robust and independent rare earth supply chain in North America. Ucore's RapidSX™ technology offers a transformative solution to this challenge, and we are committed to advancing our strategic initiatives to ensure a stable and secure supply of critical rare earth elements."
