February 29, 2016 – Lakewood, Colorado – Rare Element Resources Ltd. (“Rare Element” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: REEMF) announced today that its common shares commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Marketplace under the symbol “REEMF” effective at the market open on Monday, February 29, 2016.  OTCQB Venture Marketplace is focused on development stage U.S. and international companies that are current in their regulatory reporting and provide timely news and disclosures to investors.

The Company’s common shares were delisted from the NYSE MKT prior to the start of trading today following an announcement by the Company on February 1, 2016, of its intention to voluntarily delist from the NYSE MKT and transition to the OTC Pink marketplace.  The Company was since notified that it met the requirements to have its common shares trade on the OTCQB marketplace, particularly with its commitment to continue financial disclosures compliant with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting requirements.

As previously announced, the Company is implementing various cost containment measures in the current, difficult capital and rare earth market environments.  Rare Element is also reviewing potential strategic alternatives that could assist in maximizing shareholder value during these challenging market conditions.

Rare Element Resources Ltd. is a publicly traded, strategic materials company focused on delivering rare earth products for technology and defense applications by advancing the Bear Lodge Critical Rare Earth Project in northeast Wyoming.  Bear Lodge is a significant mineralized district containing many of the less common, more valuable, critical rare earths that are essential for electronics, fiber optics, laser systems for health and defense, as well as many evolving green technologies, like hybrid cars, solar panels and wind turbines.  The Company is an affiliate member of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Critical Materials Institute, a combined government and private sector organization committed to eliminating supply chain issues for rare earths and other critical elements.
