Quantum CEO is Interviewed on CDTV.net
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/31/11 -- Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp. (TSX VENTURE: QRE)(OTCQX: QREDF)(FRANKFURT: BR3) ("Quantum", the "Company") has announced that CEO, Peter Dickie, has been interviewed on CDTV, a financial television news network. The interview is available at .
In the interview, Dickie noted that a recent resource report on Quantum's property at Elk Creek, Nebraska, has a 43-101 inferred resource of about 500 million kilograms of niobium. The current market price for niobium is over $40 per kilogram, Dickie said. Niobium has a range of strategic industrial uses, including high-strength alloys in high-performance aircraft and as a steel hardener in natural gas pipelines. Quantum has determined that its 14-square mile site at Elk Creek also contains four primary rare earth elements: lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium and neodymium.
At present, a privately held mine in Brazil produces 80 to 85 percent of the world's niobium. The current worldwide market for niobium is 100,000 tons per year. Recent news reports concerning niobium and rare earth elements have centered on the 2011 British Geological Society Risk List, which gives equal risk assessments to the supplies of rare earth elements and niobium, in large part because of the supply control exhibited by China over rare earth elements, and with respect to niobium, due to the large portion of the world market supplied by a single mine.
On Behalf of the Board,
Peter Dickie, President, CEO

Resource estimates, unless specifically noted, are considered speculative.

By their nature, forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on factors that will or may occur in the future.
