INTRODUCTION

Rare Element Resources Ltd. was organized in 1999 as “Spartacus Capital Inc.”, a “Venture Capital Pool” company. The Company changed its name in July 2003 coincident with the completion of its Qualifying Transaction, the RTO acquisition of Paso Rico Resources Ltd. (“Paso Rico”). Paso Rico’s main asset was an option to acquire the Bear Lodge Property.

In this Registration Statement, the “Company”, “Rare Element”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Rare Element Resources Ltd. and its subsidiaries (unless the context otherwise requires). We refer you to the actual corporate documents for more complete information than may be contained in this Registration Statement. Our principal corporate offices are located at 325 Howe Street, Suite 410, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1Z7. Our telephone number is 604-687-3520.

BUSINESS OF RARE ELEMENT RESOURCES INC.

Rare Element Resources Ltd. (“Rare Element” or the “Company”) has a 100% interest in the Bear Lodge Property in northeastern Wyoming, USA, which contains large disseminated rare-earth-elements (“REE”) deposit as well as extensive gold occurrences. The Company itself is exploring the REE deposit (the “Bear Lodge Project”) and, as of 6/30/2009, had expended $1.6 million on acquisition/development. In June 2006, the Company optioned the gold exploration (the “Sundance Gold Venture”) to Newmont North America Exploration Limited (“Newmont”) whereby Newmont has the right to earn a 65% participating interest in the Sundance Gold Venture by spending $5 million on property exploration by 2011; as of 6/30/2009, Newmont had expended $2.1 million on the venture.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

3.A.1. Selected Financial Data

The selected financial data of the Company for Fiscal 2009/2008/2007 Ended June 30th was derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company that were audited by DeVisser Gray, independent Chartered Accountants, as indicated in their audit report which is included elsewhere in this Registration Statement. The selected financial data of the Company for Fiscal 2006/2005 Ended June 30th was derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company that were audited by DeVisser Gray, independent Chartered Accountants: not included herein.

The auditor’s conducted their audits in accordance with United States and Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that the auditor plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. The auditor’s report states that they believe that their audits provided a reasonable basis for their opinion.

The selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in the Registration Statement.

The Company has not declared any dividends since incorporation and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future. The present policy of the Company is to retain all available funds for use in its operations and the expansion of its business.

The following table is derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company, which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Canadian/USA Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). All material numerical differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP, as applicable to the Company, are described in footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.

3.A.2. Exchange Rates

In this Registration Statement, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. Dollars (US$). The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar (CDN$) against the U.S. Dollar.

Table No. 4 sets forth the exchange rates for the Canadian Dollar for: Fiscal 2009/2008/2007/2006/2005 Ended June 30th. The average rates for the periods, the range of high and low rates for the periods and the closing values for the periods are disclosed. The data for each month during the most recent six months is also provided.

For purposes of this table, the rate of exchange means the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The table sets forth the number of Canadian Dollars required under that formula to buy one U.S. Dollar. The average rate means the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the period.

3.D. Risk Factors

Rare Element Has Not Yet Achieved Profitable Operations and Expects to Incur Further Losses in the Development of Its Business, All of Which Casts Substantial Doubt About the Company’s ability to continue as a Going Concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. For Rare Element’s Fiscal 2009 Ended 6/30/2009, the Company’s net loss was ($1,254,187). The Company’s accumulated deficit at 6/30/2009 was ($5,377,562). The Company’s cash position was $2,334,145 and the Company’s working capital position was $2,345,857. Subsequently, the Company completed two private placements in July 2009 and September 2009, raising a total of CDN$4,800,000. Management believes that based on its current working capital position, the Company will be able to continue operations at least through the end of Fiscal 2010 without raising additional capital either through debt or equity financing.

Rare Element’s Limited Financial Resources Will Require the Company to Seek Additional Funding. Potentially Diluting Existing Shareholders or Increasing Financial Risk Thorough Debt Issuance.

Rare Element has limited financial resources. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate funds from operations or to obtain sufficient financing in the future on terms acceptable to it. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis may cause the Company to postpone, abandon, reduce or terminate its operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The most likely source of future financing presently available to the Company is through the sale of the Company’s common shares. Any sale of common shares will result in dilution of equity ownership to existing shareholders. This means that if the Company sells common shares, more shares will be outstanding and each existing shareholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding. Alternatively, the Company may rely on debt financing and assume debt obligations that require it to make substantial interest and capital payments. Also, the Company may issue or grant warrants or options in the future pursuant to which additional common shares may be issued. Exercise of such warrants or options will result in dilution of equity ownership to the Company’s existing shareholders.

Price Volatility of Rare Element’s Publicly Traded Securities Could Adversely Affect Investor’s Portfolios

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any quoted market for the common shares will be subject to market trends and conditions generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in creating revenues, cash flows or earnings.

The Risks Associated with Penny Stock Classification Could Affect the Marketability of the Common Shares of Rare Element and Shareholders Could Find It Difficult to Sell Their Stock.

Rare Element’s common shares are subject to “penny stock” rules as defined in 1934 Securities and Exchange Act rule 3a51-1. The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Rare Element’s common shares are subject to these penny stock rules. Transaction costs associated with purchases and sales of penny stocks are likely to be higher than those for other securities. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than US$5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Company’s common shares in the United States and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

No History of Dividends

The Company has not paid dividends on its common shares since incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Payment of any future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board after taking into account many factors, including operating results, financial condition and anticipated cash needs.

Rare Element’s Insiders Control a Material Percentage of Common Shares Outstanding; Potentially Adversely Affecting Investor’s Influence Over Corporate Affairs

The Company’s officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own 7.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, on an undiluted basis, based on 28,896,736 common shares issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2009. As a result, they have the ability to influence matters affecting the Company’s shareholders, including the election of directors, the acquisition or disposition of assets, and the future issuance of shares. Due to the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders control over such shares, investors may find it difficult to replace the management if they disagree with the way the Company’s business is being operated.

Dilution Through Employee/Director/Consultant Options Could Adversely Affect Rare Element’s Stockholders.

Because the success of Rare Element is highly dependent upon its respective employees, the Company has granted to some or all of its key employees, Directors and consultants options to purchase common shares as non-cash incentives. To the extent that significant numbers of such options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the other stockholders of the Company may be diluted. As of October 31, 2009, there are 2,606,000 share purchase options outstanding, which, if exercised, would result in an additional 2,606,000 common shares being issued and outstanding.

Rare Element is Dependent on Key Personnel and the Absence of Any of These Individuals Could Adversely Affect the Company

The success of the Company is currently largely dependent on the performance, retention and abilities of its directors, officers, employees and management. The loss of the services of these persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and prospects. There is no assurance that the Company can maintain the services of its directors, officers, employees or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. Failure to do so could have a material adverse affect on the Company and its prospects. The Company lacks “key man” life insurance policies on any of its officers or employees.

Competition for additional qualified management is intense, and the Company may be unable to attract and retain additional key personnel, or to attract and retain personnel on terms acceptable to the Company. Management personnel are currently limited and they may be unable to manage the Company’s expansion successfully and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company has not entered into non-competition agreements. As the Company’s business is substantially dependent upon the directors, executive officers and consultants of the Company, the lack of non-competition agreements poses a significant risk to the Company in the event such persons were to resign or be terminated from such positions. Under such circumstances, such persons may provide confidential information and key contacts to the Company’s competitors

and the Company may have difficulties in preventing the disclosure of such information. Such disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the business and operations of the Company.

The Company’s Directors/Senior Management Are Engaged in Other Businesses. Potential Conflicts of Interest and Other Obligations of Management Could Interfere With Corporate Operations

Most of the directors and officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for additional business opportunities on behalf of other entities, and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Company. Conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BCA and other applicable legislation. Some of the directors and officers of the Company are or may become directors or officers of other entities engaged in other business ventures. In order to avoid the possible conflict of interest which may arise between the directors and officers’ duties to the Company and their duties to the other entities they are involved, the directors and officers of the Company have been advised as follows by the Company: participation in other business ventures offered to the directors or officers should be allocated between the various entities and on the basis of prudent business judgment and the relative financial abilities and needs of such entities to participate; no commissions or other extraordinary consideration will be paid to such directors and officers; and business opportunities formulated by or through other entities in which the directors and officers are involved should not be offered to the Company except on the same or better terms than the basis on which they are offered to third party participants. The Company’s directors and officers are, or may become, involved in other business activities. As a result of their other business endeavors, the Company’s directors and officers may not be able to devote sufficient time to the Company’s business affairs, which may negatively affect its ability to conduct ongoing operations and to generate revenues. In addition, the management of the Company may be periodically interrupted or delayed as a result of its officers’ other business interests.

U.S. Investors May Not Be Able to Enforce Their Civil Liabilities Against Us or Our Directors, Controlling Persons and Officers.

It may be difficult to bring and enforce suits against Rare Element. The Company is a corporation incorporated in the province of British Columbia under the British Columbia Corporations Act . Many of the Company's directors are residents of Canada, and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside of the United States, predominately in Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. holders of our common shares to effect service of process on these persons within the United States or to realize in the United States upon judgments rendered against them. In addition, a shareholder should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States.

As a “foreign private issuer”, Rare Element is exempt from the Section 14 proxy rules and Section 16 of the 1934 Securities Act May Result in Shareholders Having Less Complete and Timely Data.

The submission of proxy and annual meeting of shareholder information (prepared to Canadian standards) on Form 6-K may result in shareholders having less complete and timely data.

Plan Of Operations

Source of Funds for Fiscal 2010, Ending June 30th

The Company’s primary source of funds since incorporation has been through the issuance of common shares. As at 6/30/2009, the Company had cash of $2,334,145. However, in late July 2009, the Company completed a private placement of units, raising $1,672,860 (gross) and another private placement in late September 2009, raising $2,807,000 (gross).

The Company had working capital of $2,345,857 at 6/30/2009.

As of 10/31/2009: 2,590,000 outstanding warrants with exercise prices ranging from CDN$1.00 to CDN$4.25, if exercised, would raise an additional CDN$6,500,000; and 2,606,000 outstanding stock options with exercise prices ranging from CDN$0.55 to CDN$4.49, if exercised, would raise an additional CDN$2,267,530. There is no guarantee that the warrants or the stock options will be exercised. The Company has had discussions with third parties about additional equity offerings; but the talks as of 10/31/2009 were preliminary. Management believes that with the cash the Company currently has on hand and with the potential exercise of the share purchase options, the Company will be able to fund its expenditures through the end of Fiscal 2010.

Use of Funds for Fiscal 2010 Ending June 30th

For Fiscal 2010, the Company estimates that it might expend CDN$750,000 on general/administrative expenses. During Fiscal 2010, the Company estimates that it might expend CDN$2 million on property acquisition/exploration expenses.

Anticipated Changes to Facilities/Employees . The Company anticipates no material changes to either facilities or employees in the near future.

United States vs. Foreign Sales

The Company generated no sales revenue in Fiscal 2009/2008/2007.

4.B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Corporate Overview

The Company’s business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company’s principal property is the Bear Lodge Property located in northeastern Wyoming, USA. This property contains a large disseminated rare-earth-element (REE) deposit as well as extensive gold occurrences.

This property was acquired through the July 2003 reverse-takeover acquisition of Paso Rico, which originally had an option to acquire full ownership of the property through exploration expenditures on the property and subsequently before the reverse-takeover by Rare Element, obtained 100% ownership in September 2002.

The Company itself is exploring the REE deposits (the “Bear Lodge Project”); and, as of 6/30/2009, had expended $1.6 million on acquisition/exploration.

In June 2006, the Company optioned the gold exploration (the “Sundance Gold Venture”) to Newmont North America Exploration Limited (“Newmont”) whereby Newmont has the right to earn a 65% participating interest in the Sundance Gold Venture by spending $5 million on property exploration by 2011; as of 6/30/2009, Newmont had expended $2.1 million on the venture.

REE Exploration Activities

In October 2009 , the Company has engaged the services of some of the top technical professionals in their fields of expertise to conduct a preliminary economic assessment (scoping study) of the rare-earth-element (REE) development potential of the Company’s Bull Hill Southwest rare-earths deposit, which is part of the Bear Lodge property, Wyoming. In addition, the Company announced the identification of an additional REE target area approximately 1,500 feet northwest of the Bull Hill Southwest deposit at the Bear Lodge project. The Company designates this area as the Whitetail Ridge rare-earths exploration target, and it is being prepared for possible drilling later this fall, weather permitting.

In August 2009 , drilling began on the resource expansion program for REE mineralization on the Bear Lodge property. Drill-hole locations have been chosen as step-offs of the known oxide mineralization, to test other high-potential targets, and to provide additional material for metallurgical testing of a suite of samples that are representative of the entire oxide portion of the rare-earth deposit. Initial metallurgical testing of the near-surface oxide portion of the deposit has provided very encouraging results that could lead to a commercially viable process. Metallurgical work is continuing at the Mountain States R & D International laboratory near Tucson, Arizona.

The initial ten core holes of the drill program will test the up-dip extension of oxide mineralization of the Bull Hill Southwest resource that contains the bulk of the REE mineralization. Expansion of the deposit uphill, above the defined resource area in the uppermost portion of the oxidized carbonatite dikes, has potential to gain substantial additional tonnage of oxide mineralized material.

A number of drill holes will test the Bull Hill Northwest target, located about 300 meters (1,000 ft) northerly from the Bull Hill Southwest target as offsets to historical Hecla drill-hole WP-2. Angle hole WP-2 intercepted nearly 56 meters (186 ft) of near-surface, high-grade REE mineralization. Several closely spaced holes will be drilled to determine and test the orientation and continuity of the mineralization.

Most holes in the overall program are designed to offset known mineralization; however a number of holes are planned to test new target concepts. One of the target concepts is a large REE-mineralized carbonatite plug hypothesized to occur at depth southwest of the Bull Hill diatreme. The Company's geologists recognize the similarities of the Bear Lodge REE-bearing carbonatites with the large Mountain Pass rare-earths deposit in California and will be exploring for an analogous large system. Approximately 5,000 meters (16,500 ft) of drilling are planned for the total 2009 Program.

In July 2009 , the Company reported encouraging REE metallurgical test results on oxide samples from the Bear Lodge property. These initial metallurgical tests on near-surface oxide material, which was collected from three holes of the 2008 core drilling program, consisted of crushing to -1/4-inch, simple screening, and gentle scrubbing, with the finer fractions enriched in REE. The tests at various sieve sizes resulted in a range of recoveries and pre-concentrate grades, from 70% recovery with a grade 14.25% rare-earth oxide (-500 mesh), to 90% recovery with a pre-concentrate grade of 9.2% REO (-100 mesh). A grade of 14.25% is better than a three-fold concentration of the rare-earth elements.

Metallurgical testwork is continuing at Mountain State Research & Development International of Vail, Arizona. More work is planned to continue upgrading the pre-concentrates and advancing to concentrates by selective froth flotation and other hydrometallurgical methods.

The three holes that provided samples for compositing and the testing were drilled to provide representative samples across the full width of the Bull Hill Southwest deposit. The REE mineralization encountered in the three drill holes is primarily near-surface oxidized equivalents (“FMR”) of carbonatite dikes that intrude a body of heterolithic intrusive breccia forming the Bull Hill area of the Bear Lodge alkaline-igneous complex. The oxide zone of mineralization extends from surface to depths of 300 to 500 feet, and consists of an inferred resource of 4.5 million tons averaging 4.3% REO. Excellent exploration potential provides encouragement that the oxide zone can be expanded considerably by step-out drilling.

In April 2009 , the Company completed an NI 43-101-compliant Technical Report on the Bear Lodge Property. The total inferred mineral resource in the Bull Hill model area is estimated as 9.8 million tons with an average grade of 4.07% REO, using a cutoff grade of 1.5% REO.

In February 2009 , the Company completed and released REE assay results from four holes of the 2008 core drilling program completed on the Bear Lodge Property. Three of the holes were drilled into the Bull Hill Southwest target, where a historical resource had been previously estimated. The fourth hole was drilled to test an area with both REE and gold potential. Highlights of the drill program include relatively thick intercepts in three holes and higher grades in drill holes RES 08-1 and 08-3.

The rare-earth mineralization encountered in three of the four drill holes is primarily contained within the near-surface oxidized equivalents (FMR) of carbonatite dikes that intrude a body of heterolithic intrusive breccia along the southwest flank of Bull Hill, within the Bear Lodge alkaline-igneous complex. REE assay values are reported by convention as the combined oxide equivalents (REO) of the fifteen elements in the series. The oxide equivalents are approximately 15.6% higher than the combined metal assay values. The Bear Lodge Project contains predominantly the “light” REE (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, and gadolinium), and in particular the first four of these.

Assaying of the rare-earth elements was conducted by Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) in their Ancaster, Ontario assay facility. The samples were prepared and subjected to lithium metaborate fusion, followed by ICP analysis and a mass spectroscopy finish. ActLabs is recognized as an internationally respected analytical laboratory with extensive experience in REE analysis.

The Company selected samples from the 2008 core drilling program for further metallurgical study and testing. Beneficiation tests were conducted on oxidized, and unoxidized, rare-earth mineralized carbonatite samples to determine the feasibility of producing commercial rare-earth products.

2004-2008 Exploration Activities . Drilling conducted by the Company at the Bear Lodge Property began in August 2004 and continued intermittently through October 2008. A total of 13,317 feet was completed in twelve core holes that range in depth from 943 feet to 1,886 feet. Dr. James Clark, VP Exploration, supervised the drilling on site during 2004, 2005, 2007, and part of 2008. In his absence during 2008, another geologist experienced in industry-standard drilling practices was on site.

Drilling operations during 2004 (August – December) were performed by AK Drilling of Butte, Montana utilizing a truck-mounted Longyear 44 core drilling rig. Drilling operations in 2005 (October), 2007 (May, June, and October), 2008 (August and September), and 2009 (beginning in August) were conducted by Godbe Drilling LLC of Montrose Colorado. Core drilling by Layne Christensen also was conducted in the fall of 2009. The 2005 and 2008 drilling programs were conducted with a skid-mounted Longyear LF-70 core drill, while both truck-mounted Longyear 44 and skid-mounted Longyear LF-70 drill rigs were used on the 2007 drilling program. As a general rule HQ-sized core (77.8mm diameter) was drilled through the oxidation zone (generally to a depth of 300 feet to 500

feet), after which drill core size was reduced to NQ (60.3mm diameter). Exceptions to the general rule were in 2007, when the first two drill holes (RES07-1 and RES07-2) were drilled deeper with HQ core before reducing to NQ in order to secure a larger sample for metallurgical testing, and in 2008, when the fourth hole (RES08-4) was reduced from HQ to NQ at about 300 feet, and then from NQ to BQ (46.1mm diameter) at about 1,400 feet depth until the end of the hole at a depth of 1,886 feet.

The carbonatite dikes and the FMR veins and dikes, which are the near-surface oxidized equivalents of the carbonatite dikes, were the target of most drilling completed in the Bull Hill area. Core recovery in the friable, leached and weathered FMR zones is generally much lower than in the more competent mixed and sulfide-bearing carbonatite rocks, with a range from 0% - 100% and an average recovery of slightly better than 70%. In contrast, core recovery in the transitional and non-oxidized carbonatite zones is generally in excess of 90% and often reaches 100%. Owing to the poor recovery of the loose fine material in the FMR zones, it is likely that a negative bias of grade is present, and that a site specific mud program or very large diameter core, or, alternatively, surface bulk sampling may be necessary to adequately sample the FMR material and to provide representative samples that include all of the fines for metallurgical testing. In relatively few intervals from several holes in the FMR material, minimal material was returned to the surface, owing to extreme friability and loss of fine material in voids that may be related to zones of structural disruption. Future drilling programs through these structural zones (whether core or reverse circulation) should give consideration to methods that might mitigate sample loss in significant intervals of highly broken rock and voids.

Down-hole surveys at 100-foot intervals were conducted on the four core holes drilled by the Company in 2008 and all of the drill holes in 2009. The surveys were done in order to determine deviation from a straight line projection of the surface bearing and dip of the drill stem. Down-hole surveys were not performed on the first eight Company drill holes (those drilled in 2004, 2005, and 2007). The 2008 surveys detected considerable downward deflection of the holes, especially on shallow dipping (-45 degree) drill holes. Downward deflection exceeded 1.5 degrees per 100 feet.

Should underground mining be selected as the appropriate mining method for the deeper mineralization, the lack of down-hole surveys may require re-drilling of the eight un-surveyed holes to achieve sufficient positional accuracy for estimation of measured and indicated resources. It is noted, however, that it is not unusual for an underground mine to require additional detailed drilling from underground to sufficiently define the deposit detail.

The twelve drill holes completed by the Company confirm and expand the known extent of the rare-earth mineralization. Nine of the holes expand and give more definition to the historic mineralization identified by Hecla Mining Company in several holes drilled along the southwestern flank of Bull Hill.

Mineralization in these holes is contained in northwest-striking carbonatite/FMR dikes and veins that cut strongly altered heterolithic breccias and trachyte and phonolite porphyry along the southwestern margin of the Bull Hill diatreme. The REE mineralization is not interpreted to be directly associated with a particular structure, but rather is contained within a dike swarm that was emplaced along a well-defined regional trend in the Bear Lodge alkaline complex.

Shallow REE-mineralized intercepts (0 feet to 500 feet) are contained within FMR dikes or veins that represent the products of supergene alteration and intense oxidation of original carbonatite dikes. The FMR dikes lack primary carbonate and sulfide, and the supergene REE mineralization tends to be somewhat higher grade than in the deeper mineralized zones. Deeper intercepts in most drill holes are contained within the down-dip continuation of these dikes. In the transitional zone at intermediate depths (300 feet to 600 feet), the dikes contain residual carbonate and sulfide, and the REE mineralization is a mixture of the supergene and hypogene REE minerals. The deepest intercepts (greater than about 500 to 600 feet) reside in carbonatite, and the mineralization is dominantly hypogene. The dikes appear to be open at depth and along strike to the southeast and to the northwest. Deeper penetrations in this system may increase grade and tonnage of the rare earth mineralization. Evaluation of historic and current drilling by Company geological personnel identified an area prospective for a deeper, plug-like carbonatite intrusive body. A deeper carbonatite plug may or may not exhibit different, higher temperature, hypogene REE mineralization that may be more favorable to beneficiation and lead to potentially higher grades and tonnages than the current resource.

Drilling conducted by Rare Element Resources to date includes 12 core holes that total 13,317 feet (4,059 meters). In addition to verifying the Bull Hill carbonatite system, drilling suggests that the Bull Hill Northwest target area may have additional potential resources, and a plug-like carbonatite body at depth west of Bull Hill remains an attractive target.

Gold Exploration Activities

In July 2009 , drilling for gold began anew on the Bear Lodge Property. Newmont manages gold exploration at the Sundance Gold Venture and is just beginning the fourth year in earning a 65% interest in the project by spending $5 million over a five-year period. Following a lengthy effort to permit road, trench and drill site disturbance on up to 200 acres, exploration work for 2009 is focused on the expansion of known gold-mineralized areas and the discovery of higher-grade gold mineralization. Newmont used one reverse circulation drill rig and occasionally used a core rig for selected drill holes to test the Smith, Taylor and Carbon SE targets. Most of the holes were placed on the Smith target, which is known to have higher grade gold mineralization.

In July 2009, the Company received the exploration permit allowing for an expanded drilling program on the Bear Lodge Property. The Sundance Gold Venture Draft Environment Assessment (EA) was released to the public on 11/5/2008. Two different comment and appeal periods took place over an eight-month period following its release. This EA will allow Newmont to fully explore the Sundance Gold Venture claims on up to 200 acres of disturbance. Approval of the permit will also allow Rare Element to continue with its exploration and evaluation of the Bull Hill area rare-earth targets.

2006-2008 Exploration Activities . Newmont conducted gold exploration drilling operations in 2006 and 2007 on the Bear Lodge property as part of its Sundance Venture with the Company. In 2006, the drilling was performed in September and October and included 535 meters of core in two drill holes and 1,688 meters of reverse-circulation (RC) drilling in nine holes. In 2007, drilling operations took place during June-to-August and again in October. One core hole was drilled to a depth of 758 feet (231 meters), and 14 reverse-circulation holes were drilled with a total footage of 9,375 feet (2,857.5 meters). The drilling was conducted at the Taylor and Carbon SE targets.

Newmont’s drilling activities in 2008 were limited to the deepening of Rare Element’s drill hole RES08-4 from 900 feet to the total depth of 1,836 feet. Newmont’s principal focus in 2008 was on geological, geochemical and geophysical studies as well as the permitting of an Environmental Assessment (EA) to allow flexibility for a large drilling effort on the property in 2009.

Down-hole surveys were conducted for one of the three Newmont core holes, but not for the reverse-circulation drill holes. Drill hole SUN-007c (807 feet) showed no down-hole variation in azimuth, but shallowed progressively from -45° at the collar to -41.5° at the bottom of the hole (3.5° over 807 feet).

Drilling by Newmont at the Taylor and Carbon SE targets in 2006 and 2007 identified large blocks of near-surface low-grade gold mineralization. At the Taylor target, the drilling indicates that low-grade gold mineralization is spread over an extensive area of nearly 600 meters diameter, although the drill spacing is insufficient to demonstrate continuity in all but the central part of the area. The gold mineralization appears to persist to depths of about 150 meters. Strongly anomalous gold mineralization at the Carbon SE target covers an eastnortheast-trending area with dimensions of about 70-meters NNW-SSE by 300-meters ENE-WSW. The mineralization appears to weaken to the SW in the area of a geophysical (IP/resistivity) anomaly, but it is open to the ENE.

Eden Lake property

In October 2009 , the Company signed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire 100% of the Eden Lake rare-earth-elements project from VMS Ventures Inc. for payment of 300,000 common shares and is subject to a 3% Net Smelter Returns (“NSR”) royalty to Strider Resources Limited. The 300,000 common shares were issued and have trading restrictions over 18 months. The Company also has the right to buy 50% of the 3% NSR for $1.5 million and has also paid a finder’s fee of 20,000 common shares to two parties for this acquisition.

Acquisition Details

The property was acquired through the July 2003 reverse-takeover acquisition of Paso Rico Resources Ltd., which originally had a property option to acquire full ownership of the property through exploration expenditures on the property and subsequently, before the reverse-takeover by Rare Element, obtained 100% ownership in September 2002.

On 3/30/2000, Paso Rico signed an arm’s length Mineral Lease and Option agreement with Phelps Dodge Mining Company to explore certain unpatented lode mining claims in the Bear Lodge Mining District of Crook County, Wyoming, USA, the “Bear Lodge Property”. At that time, Paso Rico committed to spend a minimum of CDN$1,750,000 over a period of five years to earn a 100% interest, subject to a net smelter royalty of 2%. On 8/9/2001, the year-two property expenditures commitment deadline was extended from 3/30/2002 to 9/30/2002 by way of an Amendment Letter. On 8/27/2002, Phelps Dodge Mining Company agreed to assign Paso Rico the claims outright subject only to a 2% net smelter royalty; there were no further work commitments under this new arrangement. An agreement between Paso Rico and Phelps Dodge Mining Company was signed on 9/30/2002.

On 6/1/2006, the Company (through Paso Rico (USA), Inc.) and Newmont North America Exploration Limited (“Newmont”), a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, signed an agreement to establish a gold-exploration venture on the Company’s Bear Lodge Property (“Sundance Gold Venture”). Under the agreement, Newmont has the right to earn a 65% participating interest in the Bear Lodge Property, excluding any rights to the rare-earth elements and uranium, but including rights to gold and other metals, by spending $5 million on property exploration by 2011. Newmont also has the right to earn an additional 15% participating interest by completing a positive feasibility study. If the Company’s interest is reduced to 20%, the Company shall have a financing option by which it may elect for Newmont to carry the Company’s share of the Sundance Gold Venture expenditures, without further dilution to the Company, until commencement of mining on the property. The funds advanced by Newmont under the financing option, plus interest at LIBOR plus 3%, shall be recouped from 90% of the Company’s portion of the proceeds from production. Newmont staked an additional 116 Federal lode mineral claims, which are included as part of the Sundance Gold Venture’s property. The total Sundance Gold Venture area of interest consists of approximately nine square miles, mostly located in the north portion of the Bear Lodge Mountains.

In order to maintain all unpatented claims in good standing, Rare Element is responsible for payment of annual fees ($135/claim) and the recording of assessment work. All 206 unpatented claims included in the Sundance Venture with Newmont are located on federal lands and are subject to annual maintenance fees payable to the United States Bureau of Land Management. These fees are now paid by Newmont under terms of the Venture Agreement and are paid up until September 1, 2010.

Rare Element also has leased a 640-acre section of land (Section 16) through a Wyoming state lease.

On 3/31/2009, the Company re-purchased the royalty interest (the "Royalty") on certain claims, which includes an area of interest, on the Bear Lodge Property from Freeport-McMoRan Corporation ("Freeport", the successor company following acquisition of Phelps Dodge). The royalty is on all minerals produced on the claims, and the area of interest, that cover approximately six square miles in the center of the district, including both rare-earth and gold mineralization occurrences. The 50 unpatented claims with the royalty were held previously by Freeport (then known as Phelps Dodge Corporation Mining Division), and were transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rare Element, by way of a "Mineral Lease and Option for Deed" signed on 3/30/2000. Subsequently, the mineral lease and option agreement was terminated and replaced on 9/30/2002, with a production royalty of 2% net smelter returns ("NSR") payable to Freeport. Rare Element repurchased the Royalty for a one-time payment of $50,000. The Company's gold and precious-metals partner, Newmont, as Manager, elected for the Sundance Gold Venture to acquire this royalty, other than as it relates to the Rare Earths and Uranium and $27,000 was assigned to this portion of the royalty which would be credited toward Newmont's earn in requirement under the venture agreement.

There is a sliding scale royalty on certain state lease land due to the state of Wyoming if ore is mined from the state section.

Property Description and Location

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

The property comprises 90 unpatented mineral claims located on land administered by the U.S. Forest Service and a 640-acre Wyoming state lease for a total of approximately 2,100 acres.

The Bear Lodge property is located in central Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, in the northwestern portion of the Black Hills uplift. The property is situated immediately north of the crest of the Bear Lodge Mountains, a relatively small northwesterly trending range. The project is flanked to the west by the Powder River Basin, famous for its extensive coalmines, and is surrounded by the Great Plains. The Bear Lodge property lies about 12 road miles northwest of the small town of Sundance, Wyoming, approximately 22 air miles west of the South Dakota state line, 55 air miles east of the larger town of Gillette, Wyoming, and 230 miles north of Cheyenne, the state capitol. Gillette has many of the services required by the mining industry.

Access to the Bear Lodge Property is very good, but in the winter months the property is not as readily accessible due to snow accumulation. Primary access to the property is from the town of Sundance, Wyoming, situated along US Interstate Highway 90. The project area is reached by traveling on paved roads west from Sundance about 1.5 miles along US Highway 14, then north on US Forest Service Taylor Divide Road #838 for 7.4 miles to the summit of Warren Peaks. The final 3.2 miles to the Bull Hill area of the property is on well-maintained gravel roads (continuing on USFS#838 and then right on USFS#851) until the turnoff to the Bull Hill Road, about 0.8 miles of a narrow one-lane dirt road leading to the Bull Hill REE target area. Road access within the property is relatively extensive via a number of good quality logging roads and four-wheel-drive trails that were cleared during previous exploration and logging activities.

Motels, restaurants, and gas stations are available to the south in the nearby town of Sundance, and a greater variety of accommodations and services are available to the east in Spearfish, South Dakota.

Necessary infrastructure, such as housing, food, fuel, etc., would be available in either town, or further to the west in Gillette, Wyoming, should an economic discovery be made. Water rights would likely be available through purchase, and a major power line runs within a mile of the project area. Supplies can be trucked to the site 60 miles from Gillette, which is located on both US

Interstate Highway 90 and rail lines. A Burlington Northern rail transport line also runs through Moorcroft, 34 miles west of Sundance. The Gillette area has a coal-fired power plant, and the city would be a major logistics center for any development at the Bear Lodge Property. The current size of the property is sufficiently large to support a mining operation, with no foreseeable obstacles regarding expansion, subject to a favorable environmental permitting outcome.

The Bear Lodge Mountains have a warm and relatively dry climate during summer, followed by cold winters with variable amounts of snow. Optimal field conditions extend from April to November. The Taylor Divide Road is not maintained during winter months, and snowmobile access is given priority from December through March. The property lies within the Black Hills National Forest along the crest of the northern part of the Bear Lodge Mountains, a narrow northwest-trending range situated in northeastern Wyoming. Physiographically it is a northwesterly extension of the Black Hills of western South Dakota. The range is characterized by rounded grass- and pine-covered mountains reaching elevations of 6,400 feet within the property. The mountains have moderate slopes covered by western yellow pine forest interspersed with dense thickets of brush. Narrow grassy meadows cover the upper reaches of seasonal drainages. The lowest point within the property is about 5,800 feet elevation.

Property History

Historic REE Drilling . Primary rare-earth element (REE) exploration drilling on the Bear Lodge Property prior to its acquisition by Rare Element was conducted by Molycorp Inc. and Hecla Mining Company. Duval Corporation assayed for select REE, but its primary exploration objective was base metals.

Historic rare-earth drilling of the Bear Lodge district:

Company	Dates	Number of Drill Holes	Total Footage	Number of Assay Intervals
Duval Corporation	1972-1984	20	21,900	914
Molycorp Inc.	1978-1980	12	13,618	Indeterminate
Hecla Mining	1987-1990	12	13,765	612

REE exploration drilling by Molycorp, Duval, and some of the Hecla drilling was widely spaced across the property, but the 2004-2008 drilling by the Company and a portion of the drilling by Hecla Mining Company was focused in the Bull Hill area. A number of holes were drilled from common sites at varying inclination, owing to space and permitting restrictions. The Bull Hill REE resource drill-hole spacing between fences of drill holes ranges from approximately 230-feet to 1,000-feet (70-meters to 320-meters) and averages about 490 feet (150 meters). Drill-hole spacing within the fences on sections ranges from 100-feet to 200-feet (30-meters to 60-meters).

Historic Gold Drill ing. The historic Bear Lodge drill-hole database consists of 301 drill holes, including those drilled by Western Nuclear, Duval, Molycorp, American Copper and Nickel, FMC, International Curator, Coca Mines, Hecla Mining Company, Phelps Dodge, Newmont, and Rare Element. A total of about 13,903 assay intervals are recorded from the historic drilling. Gold and silver assays on generally 5-foot intervals are available for nearly all holes, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analyses for other elements are available for selected holes. A digital record of these holes was compiled by the Newmont and Rare Element geological staffs. Copies of geologic drill logs are available for most of the drill holes, and those data have been incorporated into the Company’s database. Each of the historic exploration drilling programs had different objectives with regard to commodity and deposit type, but gold assays were generally conducted on nearly all of the assay intervals. As such, drill-hole spacings across the property vary widely. The most closely spaced drilling occurs in the Smith Ridge area, where the average drill-hole spacing is on the order of 33 meters. Drill-hole spacing at the Carbon SE target ranges from 20 meters to 90 meters, and averages about 50 meters, while that at the Taylor Ridge target ranges from 75 meters to 150 meters and averages about 100 meters.

Acquisition Details

On 10/30/2009, t he Company signed the purchase and sale agreement to acquire 100% of the Eden Lake rare earth elements project from VMS Ventures Inc. for payment of 300,000 common shares and is subject to a 3% Net Smelter Returns (“NSR”) royalty to Strider Resources Limited. The 300,000 common shares were issued and have trading restrictions over 18 months. The Company also has the right to buy 50% of the 3% NSR for $1.5 million and has also paid a finder’s fee of 20,000 common shares to two parties for this acquisition.

Property Description and Location

The Eden Lake REE Project consists of 8 claims for a total of 1,871 hectares. It is located 35 kilometers northwest of Leaf Rapids, Manitoba.

Property History

In 2003 VMS, which was then called Rare Earth Metals Corp., performed detailed geological mapping, sampling, and petrographic studies that led to the discovery of an extensive area (approximately 8 square kilometers) of hydrothermal stock-work veining, magmatic carbonatite dikes, and breccia exposed in outcrop. Carbonatite dikes and plugs were discovered at three locations, and the property geology has characteristics that suggest a large carbonatite complex.

REE-enriched minerals identified in petrographic studies include strontium-REE-apatite, britholite, allanite, and REE mineral inclusions in andradite garnet. REE enrichments occur in all hydrothermally metasomatized rocks. The highest REE concentrations encountered by VMS are in the carbonatite dikes (up to 1.6% total REO, 9,764 ppm Sr, and 745 ppm Y), and in hydrothermal REE-rich veins (up to 13.8% total REO and 5,307 ppm Y). VMS also discovered heavy REEs (Eu-Lu) on the project during their field work. Rare Element will be evaluating the carbonatite complex, which may have similarities to the Company’s Bear Lodge project, and the heavy rare earths plus yttrium in the hydrothermal veins.

A drill program was completed on the project in 2006, and the holes provided additional favorable geologic indications for a carbonatite complex, but without hitting significant REE grades. Six holes for a total of 765 meters were drilled in the northeastern half of the 8 square kilometer zone of intensely altered rocks. Most of the favourable targets have not been adequately tested, and

additional exploration of the project for yttrium and heavy rare earths is warranted.

Corporate Historical Overview

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on 6/3/1999 under the name “Spartacus Capital Inc.”. On 7/25/2003, the name was changed to “Rare Element Resources Ltd.

The Company is exploring the REE deposits itself (the “Bear Lodge Project”); and, as of 6/30/2009, had expended $1.6 million on acquisition/development. In June 2006, the Company optioned the gold exploration (the “Sundance Gold Venture”) to Newmont North America Exploration Limited (“Newmont”) whereby Newmont has the right to earn a 65% participating interest in the Sundance Gold Venture by spending $5 million on property exploration by 2011; as of 6/30/2009, Newmont has expended $2.1 million on the venture.

In April 2006, the Company acquired the Kipawa Property by staking 26 claims, totaling approximately 1,531 hectares. The property is located in Quebec, 90 kilometers northwest of North Bay, Ontario. The Company wrote off $4,841 in Fiscal 2007 upon making an agreement to sell the property. On 10/12/2007, the Company sold the property for its residual carrying amount of $1,416.

In October 2009, the Company acquired the Eden Lake Property for 300,000 common shares and is subject to a 3% Net Smelter Returns royalty.

Effective 12/20/2004, the Company’s authorized share capital was changed from 100,000,000 common shares to an unlimited number of common shares without par value.

Financings

On September 21, 2009 , the Company completed a CDN$3,000,000 financing consisting of 1,000,000 units. Each unit was priced at CDN$3.00 and consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant will allow the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of 18 months from the closing date for additional consideration of CDN$4.25. There were no insiders participating in this offering and no commission paid. There is a four-month hold on the securities issued.

On July 24, 2009 , the Company completed a CDN$1,800,000 financing consisting of 1,200,000 units at a price of CDN$1.50 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share for a period of 18 months from the closing date at a price of CDN$2.10. No insiders participated in this offering and no commissions were paid. There is a four-month hold on the securities issued.

On May 27, 2009 , the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for CDN$1,500,000. The offering consisted of 2,000,000 units at CDN$0.75 per unit.

Each unit comprised one common share and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. A whole warrant could have been exercised to purchase one additional common share of the Company at CDN$0.75 per share until 3/22/2008. 129,166 of these warrants were exercised during Fiscal 2007, 700,847 warrants were exercised in Fiscal 2008, and 3,336 warrants expired un-exercised.

Change in Accounting Policy

On 7/1/2008, the Company adopted the following provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Sections. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results as a result of the adoption of these new standards:

Section 3862 – Financial Instruments – Disclosures, which replaces Section 3861 and provides expanded disclosure requirements that provide additional detail by financial asset and liability categories.

Section 3863 – Financial Instruments – Presentation, to enhance financial statement users’ understanding of the significance of financial instruments to an entity’s financial position, performance and cash flows.

Section 1535 – Capital Disclosures, which establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed. Under this standard, the Company will be required to disclose the following:

qualitative information about its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital;

summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital;

whether during the period it complied with any externally imposed capital requirement to which it is subject; and

when the Company has not complied with such externally imposed capital requirements, the consequences of such non-compliance.

Section 1400 – General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation, to include requirements for management to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

International Financial Reporting Standards

On 2/13/2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed the mandatory changeover date to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for Canadian profit-oriented publicly accountable entities (“PAE’s”) such as the Company. The AcSB requires that IFRS compliant financial statements be prepared for annual and interim financial statements commencing on or after 1/1/2011. For Rare Element’s with a June 30th year-end, the first un-audited interim financial statements under IFRS will be the quarter ending 9/30/2011, with comparative financial information for the quarter ended 9/30/2010. The first audited annual financial statements will be for the year ending 6/30/2012, with comparative financial information for the year ended 6/30/2011. This also means that all the opening balance sheet adjustments relating to the adoption of IFRS must be reflected in the 7/1/2010 opening balance sheet that will be issued as part of the comparative financial information in the 9/30/2011 un-audited interim financial statements.

The Company intends to adopt these requirements as set out by the AcSB and other regulatory bodies. At this time, the impact of adopting IFRS cannot be reasonably quantified. Nonetheless, the Company has identified several areas relating to IFRS that could materially affect the Company:

Impairment: Upon conversion to IFRS, an assessment of whether there is any impairment to mineral properties will have to be made.

Mineral resources: At present, the issue of capitalizing exploration expenditures under GAAP appears to be acceptable under IFRS.

Business combinations: The effect of IFRS on the Company’s present business combination is minimal because the first-time adoption of IFRS has exemptions allowing the new accounting policies on the business combinations be applied prospectively.

Foreign currency: The adoption of IFRS will involve the identification of a functional currency. At present, it appears that the US dollar is the Company’s functional currency and the Canadian dollar is the subsidiary’s functional currency. Upon consolidation, the presentation currency will be that of the parent’s functional currency and therefore, the adoption of IFRS should have a minimal impact on the foreign currency translation. In addition, an exemption is allowed whereby any cumulative translation differences prior to transition date will be deemed to be zero.

Income taxes: Although there are many areas where GAAP is similar to IFRS, there are differences as well, such as the differentiation between deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities; and whether deferred tax is to be charged to the income statement, equity or goodwill.

The majority of the Company’s audit committee is aware of the IFRS conversion and the Company’s staff, in conjunction with its CFO, have adequate resources with which to carry out the conversion, as well as to carry on the day-to-day operations of the Company. The Company’s staff is taking professional development courses relating to IFRS conversion.

At present, the Company has no contracts, debt covenants, capital requirements or compensation contracts that may be affected by changes to financial reporting because of IFRS.

The actual conversion work will occur in 2009 and 2010, in anticipation of the preparation of the 7/1/2010 balance sheet that will be required for comparative purposes for all periods ending in 2011 and 2012.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted: Goodwill and intangible assets

In February 2008, the CICA issued CICA Handbook Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaces CICA Handbook Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” as well as CICA Handbook Section 3450, “Research and Development”. This new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. As this standard applies to interim and annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after 10/1/2008, the Company will adopt this new standard effective 1/1/2009 (the first day of the Company’s 2009 fiscal year) retrospectively with a restatement of prior periods. Implementation of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

The Company evaluated the design of its internal controls and procedures over financial reporting as defined under Multilateral Instrument 52-109 for the year ended 6/30/2009. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the design of these internal controls and procedures over financial reporting was effective.

The internal controls have an inherit weakness in the area of management override and segregation of accounting duties, in that the accounting staff is small in number and it is not practical or cost effective to increase accounting personnel to enable the segregation of all accounting duties in a company of this size.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal 2009 Ended 6/30/2009 vs. Fiscal 2008

The net loss for the year ended 6/30/2009 totaled ($1,254,187) compared to loss of ($853,866) in the Fiscal 2008, an increase of ($400,321). The basic and diluted losses per share were ($0.05) for Fiscal 2009 ended 6/30/2009 and ($0.04) for the Fiscal 2008.

Interest income totaled $32,575 (2008 = $29,786) for the year ended 6/30/2009 as a result of interest earned on the funds that the Company held in financial institutions. During the year ended 6/30/2009, the Company recognized a loss on foreign exchange of ($292,358) (2008 = foreign exchange gain of $88,985) as the Company held the majority of its cash in Canadian dollars until such time as payment (in US$) is required.

Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of $428,350 in 2009 and $423,891 in 2008 and the foreign exchange gains (losses), total general and administrative costs were $550,971 for Fiscal 2009 and $548,746 for Fiscal 2008. The operating expenses increased slightly by $2,225. The major increases were: $16,675 in travel as the Company participated in more trade shows in Fiscal 2009 and $16,735 in audit, accounting and legal fees. These increases were offset by decreases of $21,422 in management fees due to last year’s payment to a former president; $13,087 in transfer and listing fees due to no shares issued during the first three quarters of Fiscal 2009; and $9,433 in office and miscellaneous expenses.

During the year ended 6/30/2009, the Company incurred $590,147 in exploration expenditures on its property. As of 6/30/2009, the Company had incurred a total of $1,609,496 (2008 = $1,019,349) on exploration work at Bear Lodge.

The Company announced the results of a new National Instrument 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate of REE contained in the Bull Hill Southwest deposit of 9.83 million tons averaging 4.07% rare-earth oxides, or approximately 800 million pounds of rare-earth oxides. The new resource estimate is derived from a REE database that includes twelve drill holes completed by the Company since 2004 for a total of 13,326 feet, plus sixteen drill holes, completed by other companies prior to 2004, for which data are available. Approximately 34% of the resource is within 100 feet of a drill hole and 69% of the resource is within 200 feet of a drill hole. The new resource estimate focuses only on the dike sets in the Bull Hill Southwest target area, and there is significant additional potential for expansion of the Bull Hill Southwest resource and for definition of REE resources in other areas.

Fiscal 2008 Ended 6/30/2008 vs. Fiscal 2007

The net loss for Fiscal 2008 totaled ($853,866) compared to loss of ($751,496) last year. The basic and diluted loss per share was ($0.04) both years.

The Company earned interest income of $29,786 on the CDN$1.5 million GIC held in a Canadian financial institution during the year. The Company also had a gain on foreign exchange of $88,985 [FY2007 = foreign exchange loss of ($43,589)] with the strengthening of the Canadian dollar over US Dollar. The Company holds the majority of its financial resources in Canadian dollars until such time that payment (usually in US$) is required.

Total general and administrative costs were $548,746 (excluding the $88,985 foreign exchange gain and $423,891 non-cash stock-based compensation) for Fiscal 2008; and $498,007 for Fiscal 2007 (likewise excluding the FY2007 foreign exchange loss, non-cash stock-based compensation, and write-down of mineral properties). The operating expenses increased slightly by $50,739 as a result of (a) an increase of $50,640 in management fees paid to the former president and the current president during the year; (b) an increase of $14,111 in travel as the Company went to more trade shows; (c) a decrease of $18,636 in investor relations expenditures with the Company terminating its investor relations arrangements during the earlier part of the fiscal year and only engaging a corporate development firm in the third quarter; and a decrease of $9,341 in audit and accounting fees.

During Fiscal 2008, the Company incurred $256,618 in exploration expenditures on its properties. As at 6/30/2008, the Company had incurred a total of $1,019,349 (6/30/2007 = $764,147) on exploration work at Bear Lodge Project.

The Company has completed the drilling phase of its 2008 rare-earth exploration program for the Bear Lodge Project and will focus on its 2009 exploration program which will likely feature continuing metallurgical testing, resource estimation, completion of a Technical Report, and possibly drilling to continue expand the REE mineralization encountered at Bull Hill Southwest. Due to variable dike thickness and variable continuity encountered by the Company’s drilling along strike and down dip, additional drilling will be necessary to delineate the Bull Hill Southwest mineralization.

Other metals occur on the Company’s Bear Lodge Property. Previous and current gold exploration has identified numerous geochemical gold anomalies and occurrences in fracture-fault zones and in or near intrusive breccia bodies and has tested a number of targets with widespread drill holes. With the anticipated approval of a new exploration permit, the Sundance Gold Venture is preparing for an expanded drilling program in Spring 2009. The Company intends to take advantage of the exploration potential for gold and other metals through the option/joint venture agreement presently in effect with Newmont. The Newmont gold-exploration venture provides the Company with further options to increase the value of the Company and to advance its programs to evaluate both the gold and REEs of the Bear Lodge Property.

With the engagement of Ore Reserves Engineering the Company continues to work towards producing an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report, which will include a REE resource estimate.

Fiscal 2007 Ended 6/30/2007 vs. Fiscal 2006

The net loss for Fiscal 2007 totaled ($751,496) compared to loss of ($458,407) last year. The basic and diluted loss per share was ($0.04) compared to (0.03). The results of operations reflected the increase in administrative and financing activity level of Fiscal 2007 compared to Fiscal 2006.

The increase of $328,172 in operating expenses in Fiscal 2007 compared to last year was mostly due to the increase of $187,166 in non-cash stock-based compensation expense with the new options being granted and the increased number of options being vested in FY2007. The foreign exchange loss increased to ($43,589) in FY2007 from ($11,134) in FY2006 due to the weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar. Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation and foreign exchange loss, administrative costs increased by $108,551; this increase in operating expenses was a result of the increased general and administrative activities of the management. In FY2007, management took a more aggressive approach to investor awareness and set new development strategies for the Company through engaging the services of investor relation firm and participating in Canadian and European trade shows to give presentations to potential investors. Additional administrative expenditures were incurred on the closing of the September 2006 private placement. The major increases were in investor relations expenditures of $49,160, office and miscellaneous of $24,179, transfer and listing fees of $10,130, and management fees of $12,315.

During FY2007, the Company sold to Almaden Minerals Ltd. (“Almaden”) its 2% Net Smelter Return royalty (“NSR”) on a Mexican property that was previously written off by the Company. The NSR was sold for $20,000 and 25,000 Almaden warrants exercisable at a price of CDN$3.00 until 3/20/2010. A fair value of $15,083 was assigned to these warrants. The total gain of $35,083 on sale of NSR was recognized by the Company as other income.

In FY2007, the Company incurred $159,750 in exploration expenditures on its properties. As at 6/30/2007, the Company had incurred a total of $764,147 (2006 = $608,856) on exploration work at Bear Lodge Project.

The Company commenced the 2006 rare-earth exploration program for the Bear Lodge Project in October 2006 and outlined four targets for its coming 2007 exploration programs. Drilling will target suspected deep carbonatite bodies and will further define past drilling results. In addition, the Company continues to examine the high-tech commodities industry for opportunities to participate in the growing markets for REE and other strategic metals. The Company intends to acquire additional mineral properties or join in ventures that explore other properties or aspects of these metals’ markets. The Company believes that rare-earth- element deposits have potential economic importance as various modern-day technologies become more widely commercialized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Fiscal 2009 Ended 6/30/2009

The Company’s working capital as at 6/30/2009 was $2,345,857 (2008 = $2,281,675). As at 6/30/2009, cash totaled $2,334,145, an increase of $62,228 from $2,271,917 as at 6/30/2008. The increase of working capital and cash was due to the funds received pursuant to the closing a non-brokered private placement for net proceed of $1,322,271 (CDN$1,500,000) (net of $10,779 share issue costs) of and $140,950 on the exercise of options.

Cash Used by Fiscal 2009 Operating Activities totaled ($819,981), including the ($1,254,187) Net Loss. Significant adjustments included $428,350 in stock-based compensation, $15,083 write-off of investment, and $11,141 in changes in non-cash working capital balances related to operations. Cash Used in Fiscal 2009 Investing Activities was ($581,012), predominately for deferred exploration costs.

As disclosed earlier, Rare Element has “in-the-money” stock options and share purchase warrants outstanding as at June 30, 2009 that, if exercised, would result in the Company receiving an additional CDN$8,758,570. There is no guarantee that these stock options and share purchase warrants will be exercised.

Subsequent to Fiscal 2009, on July 24, 2009, the Company completed a CDN$1,800,000 financing consisting of 1.2 million units at a price of CDN$1.50 per unit and on September 21, 2009, completed another CDN$3,000,000 financing consisting of 1,000,000 units at a price of CDN$3.00 per unit. Management believes that the Company has sufficient funds to continue operations through Fiscal 2010.

The Company is well positioned to sustain itself in the longer term despite the current stock market volatility because of three main reasons: (1) It has maintained a very cost effective overhead model; (2) recent private placements after fiscal yearend raised a total of CDN$4.8 million; and (3) Newmont still has approximately $2.9 million in expenditures to be made on exploration at Sundance Gold Venture to earn a 65% interest in the project. These factors allow for the Company to keep costs low, to moderate the amount of work done that it has to pay for, and to react quickly and be selective in accepting any further offers of financing. With a total of 28,733,736 common shares currently outstanding and its strong working capital position, the Company is well positioned to last through Fiscal 2010 without raising additional capital.

Fiscal 2008 Ended 6/30/2008

The Company had a working capital position of $2,281,675 at 6/30/2008 compared to a working capital position of $1,154,703 at 6/30/2007.

At 6/30/2008, Rare Element had stock options and share purchase warrants outstanding that, if exercised, would result in the Company receiving an additional CDN$2.3 million. There is no guarantee that these stock options and share purchase warrants will be exercised.

Cash Used by Fiscal 2008 Operating Activities totaled ($368,250), including the ($853,866) Net Loss. Significant adjustments included $423,891 in stock-based compensation and $59,608 in changes in non-cash working capital balances related to operations. Cash Used in Fiscal 2008 Investing Activities was ($262,329), predominately for deferred exploration costs. Cash provided from Fiscal 2008 Financing Activities was $1,817,159, predominately from the aforementioned private placements and the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants.

US GAAP Reconciliation

The consolidated financial statements included with this Registration Statement have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). Material variations in the accounting principles, practices and methods used in preparing these financial statements from principles, practices and methods accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), and that impact financial statement line items, are described below.

Resource properties – Under Canadian GAAP, acquisition and exploration costs are capitalized. Under U.S. GAAP, exploration costs are expensed as incurred unless commercial feasibility is established. Under U.S. GAAP, resource properties are reviewed by management for impairment whenever circumstances change which could indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Such review has not been completed, as there are no capitalized properties for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On a regular basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Resource Properties and Deferred Exploration Costs

The Company accounts for mineral property costs in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3061, “Property, plant and equipment” (“CICA 3061”), and abstract EIC-126, “Accounting by Mining Enterprises for Exploration Costs” (“EIC-126”) of the Emerging Issues Committee. CICA 3061 provides for the capitalization of the acquisition and exploration costs of a mineral property where such costs are considered to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment. EIC-126 provides that a mining enterprise is not precluded from considering exploration costs to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment when it has not established mineral reserves objectively and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future net cash flow from the property.

Mineral property costs include initial acquisition costs and related option payments, which are recorded when paid. Exploration and development costs are capitalized until properties are brought into production, when costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over economically recoverable reserves. Option payments are credited against mineral property costs when received. No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received. No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received.

CICA 3061 also provides that property, plant and equipment be written down when the long-term expectation is that the net carrying amount will not be recovered. EIC-126 states that a mining enterprise which has not objectively established mineral reserves and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future cash flow from a property is not obliged to conclude that the capitalized costs have been impaired. However, EIC-126 references certain conditions that should be considered in determining subsequent write-downs, such as changes or abandonment of a work program or poor exploration results, and management reviews such conditions to determine whether a write-down of capitalized costs is required. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount, provision is made for the impairment in value.

Accounting standards subsequently issued by the CICA dealing with Intangible Assets (CICA 1581 and CICA 3062) include reference to “Use rights such as drilling, water, air, mineral, timber cutting, and route authorities” as examples of intangible assets. CICA 3062 also states, inter alia, that intangible assets should be amortized over their useful life and tested for impairment. Management has reviewed this potential reporting conflict with the previously issued standards and is of the opinion that it is appropriately accounting for its mineral properties as having the characteristics of property, plant and equipment.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company adopted the CICA Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations” (“HB 3110”). HB 3110 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation, such as site reclamation costs, be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company is required to record the estimated present value of future cash flows associated with site reclamation as a liability when the liability is incurred and increase the carrying value of the related assets for that amount. The obligations recognized are statutory, contractual or legal obligations. The liability is accreted over time for changes in the fair value of the liability through charges to accretion, which is included in depletion, amortization and accretion expense. The costs capitalized to the related assets are amortized in a manner consistent with the depletion and amortization of the related asset.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has determined that it does not have material obligations for asset retirement obligations. Accordingly, adoption of HB 3110 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Written Management Agreements

The Company entered into a consulting agreement dated September 2007 with Donald E.

In the event that the consulting agreement is terminated without cause by the Company, the Company is obligated to pay a termination fee in the amount of three times the monthly amount paid to Mr. Ranta. On October 14, 2009, the Board approved increasing the monthly amount to $12,000 per month.

6.C. Board Practices

All directors hold office until the next meeting of the shareholders of the Company unless they resign or are removed in accordance with the Company’s Articles. Senior Management are appointed to serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors, subject to the terms of the Management Agreements described above. The Board of Directors and Committees of the Board schedule regular meetings over the course of the year.

6.C.1. Terms of Office . Refer to ITEM 6.A. and ITEM 6.c.

6.C.2. Directors’ Service Contracts .

--- Nothing Responsive to Disclose ---

6.C.3. Board Independence

The Board of Directors has adopted standards for determining whether a director is independent from management. The Board reviews, consistent with the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, whether a director has any material relationship with the Company that would impair the director’s independent judgment. The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined, based on its standards, that the M. Norman Anderson, Norman W. Burmeister, Gregory E. McKelvey, and Stephen P. Quin are independent.

6.C.4. Board meetings and committees; annual meeting attendance

During Fiscal 2009 Ended 6/30/2009, the Board of Directors held four regularly scheduled meetings. For various reasons, Board members may not be able to attend a Board meeting; all Board members are provided information related to each of the agenda items before each meeting, and, therefore, can provide counsel outside the confines of regularly scheduled meetings. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (1) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors, while he was a Director; and (2) the total number of meetings of committees of the Board of Directors on which the director served. Directors are encouraged to attend annual meetings of our stockholder; two of the six directors attended the December 2008 annual shareholders meeting.

The Company’s only standing committee is the Audit Committee, which recommends to the Board of Directors the engagement of the independent auditors of the Company and reviews with the independent auditors the scope and results of the Company’s audits, the Company’s internal accounting controls, and the professional services furnished by the independent auditors to the Company. The Company has an Audit Committee charter, adopted at the 2004 Annual General Meeting. The current members of the Audit Committee are: Mark Brown, Norman W. Burmeister (independent), and Stephen P. Quin (independent). The Audit Committee met four times during Fiscal 2009 Ended 6/30/2009 and one time during Fiscal 2010-to-date.

The Company does not have an “audit committee financial expert” serving on its Audit Committee. The Company’s Audit Committee consists of three directors, all of whom are both financially literate and very knowledgeable about the Company’s affairs. Because the Company’s structure and operations are straightforward, the Company does not find it necessary to augment its Board with a financial expert.

6.C.5. Code of Ethics

The Board has adopted a written “Corporate Governance Policies” addressing various codes of conducts. The current limited size of the Company’s operations, and the small number of officers and consultants, allow the Board to monitor on an ongoing basis the activities of management and to ensure that the highest standard of ethical conduct is maintained. As the Company grows in size and scope, the Board anticipates that it will formulate and implement a formal Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, the Board of Directors expects management to operate the business of the Company in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute the Company’s business plan and to meet performance objectives and goals. In addition, the Board of Directors must comply with conflict of interest provisions in Canadian corporate law, including relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest. During Fiscal 2009 Ended 6/30/2009 and Fiscal 2010-to-date, there are no material change reports relating to the conduct of any Directors or executive officers of the Company.

6.D. Employees

At 10/31/2009, the Company had two full-time employees/consultants and five part-time employees/consultants, including the three Senior Management; five of these employees/consultants are directly engaged in exploration activities. As of 6/30/2009 and 6/30/2008, the Company had six and three full-time and part-time employees/consultants, respectively, including the Senior Management. Donald Ranta, President/CEO of the Company is involved in both administration and exploration. He is based in Golden, Colorado, USA. None of the Company's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Stock Options

The terms of incentive options grantable by the Company are done in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and the British Columbia Securities Commission, including the number of common shares under option, the exercise price and expiry date of such options, and any amendments thereto. Pursuant to the Exchange’s Policy 4.4, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) effective December 11, 2002. The Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Company’s annual and special general meeting held on 12/11/2002 and amended on 11/23/2006’s AGM, 12/3/2007’s AGM, and 12/5/2008’s AGM.

The purpose of the Plan is to allow the Company to grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants, as an incentive to dedicate their efforts to advance the success of the Company. The granting of options is intended to align the interests of such persons with that of the members.

Options will be exercisable over periods up to five years as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and are required to have an exercise price no less than the closing market price of the Company’s shares prevailing on the day that the option is granted, less a discount of up to 25%, the amount of discount varying with market price in accordance with the policies of the Exchange. Pursuant to the Plan, the Board of Directors may, from time to time, authorize the issue of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries or employees of companies providing management or consulting services to the Company or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance is equal to that number of shares which is 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The number of shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one individual may not exceed 5% of the issued shares in any 12-month period or 2% if the optionee is engaged in investor relations’ activities or is a consultant. The Plan contains a minimum vesting schedule allowing options to become exercisable in equal installments over an 18-month period; however, the Board of Directors may impose stricter vesting requirements to a particular stock option in its discretion.

Upon expiry of an option, or in the event an option is otherwise terminated for any reason, the number of common shares in respect of the expired or terminated option shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. All options granted under the Plan may not have an expiry date exceeding five years from the date on which the board of directors grant and announce the granting of the option.

If the option holder ceases to be a Director of the Company or ceases to be employed by the Company (other then by reason of death), or ceases to be a consultant of the Company as the case may be, then the option granted shall expire on no later than the 90th day following the date that the option holder ceases to be a Director, ceases to be employed by the Company or ceases to be a consultant of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Plan.

Options are non-assignable and non-transferable.

The Plan contains provisions for adjustment in the number of common shares or other property issuable on exercise of incentive stock options in the event of a share consolidation, split, reclassification or other relevant change in the common shares, or an amalgamation, merger or other relevant change in the Company's corporate structure, or any other relevant change in the Company's capitalization.

The names and titles of the Directors/Senior Management of the Company to whom outstanding stock options have been granted and the number of common shares subject to such options is set forth in the following table, as of 10/31/2009, as well as the number of options granted to employees/consultants/etc.

10.A.6. History of Share Capital

Rare Element has financed its operations through funds raised in public/private placements of common shares and shares issued upon conversion of warrants and options.

The Company filed its final prospectus with the British Columbia and Alberta Securities Commissions in November 1999, in order to offer to the public in British Columbia and Alberta a minimum of 1,500,000 common shares at a price of CDN$0.20 per share for total gross proceeds of CDN$300,000. On 11/15/1999, the common shares of the Company began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly the Canadian Venture Exchange) under the symbol “SCI” as a Capital Pool Company.

Under the TSX Venture Exchange’s Policy 2.4, a company with only minimal working capital is allowed to list on the TSX Venture Exchange for the purposes of negotiating an acquisition of, or the participation in, assets or businesses. Such companies are classified as a “Capital Pool Company”, or “CPC” and are governed by a specific set of rules and regulations. The sole purpose of a CPC is to identify and evaluate existing businesses or assets for possible acquisition, which, if acquired, would provide the company with a full listing on the TSX Venture Exchange. The only business a CPC is allowed to conduct prior to its Initial Public Offering and listing on the TSX Venture Exchange is to prepare for its offering. This typically consists of raising a limited amount of seed capital, establishing a management team and board of directors, as well as hiring professionals to assist in the offering, including an auditor, legal counsel, and an agent for the Offering.

During FY2006, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,147,600 units at a price of CDN$0.20 for gross proceeds of CDN$229,520. Each unit was comprised of one common share and one twelve-month non-transferable share purchase warrant. The share purchase warrants were exercisable into one common share at a price of CDN$0.30 per share. 200,000 warrants were exercised in FY2006; and the remaining 947,600 warrants were exercised during FY2007.

During FY2007, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 1,666,698 units at CDN$0.60 per unit for gross proceeds of CDN$1,000,021. Each unit comprised one common share and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. A whole warrant was exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company at CDN$0.75 per share until 3/22/2008. During FY2007, 129,166 of these warrants were exercised; during FY2008, 700,847 warrants were exercised; and 3,336 warrants expired unexercised.

On 11/5/2007, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for CDN$1,075,000. The offering consisted of 1,075,000 units at CDN$1.00 per unit. Each unit comprised one common share and one-half of a non-transferable share-purchase warrant. A whole warrant was exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company at CDN$1.35 until 5/5/2009. During FY2009, all warrants expired.

On 5/27/2009, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for CDN$1,500,000. The offering consisted of 2,000,000 units at CDN$0.75 per unit. Each unit comprised one common share and one-half of a non-transferable share-purchase warrant. Each whole warrant allow the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at CDN$1.00 until 11/27/2010.

On 7/24/2009, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for CDN$1,800,000. The offering consisted of 1,200,000 units at CDN$1.50 per unit. Each unit comprised one common share and one-half of a non-transferable share-purchase warrant. Each whole warrant allow the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at CDN$2.10 until 1/24/2011. No insiders participated in this offering and no commission was being paid. There is a four-month hold on the securities issued.

On 9/21/2009, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for CDN$3,000,000. The offering consisted of 1,000,000 units at CDN$3.00 per unit. Each unit comprised one common share and one non-transferable share-purchase warrant. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at CDN$4.25 until 3/21/2011. No insiders participated in this offering and no commission was being paid. There is a four-month hold on the securities issued.

During FY2007/2008/2009: 1,076,766, 700,847, and none warrants were exercised, raising US$337,550, US$520,810, and US$nil, respectively.

During FY2007/2008/2009: 687,500, 386,500, and 398,000 stock options were exercised, raising US$158,634, US$160,092, and US$140,950, respectively.

10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

Rare Element Resources Ltd. (“Rare Element” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on 6/3/1999 under the name “Spartacus Capital Inc.”. On 7/25/2003, the name was changed to “Rare Element Resources Ltd.”.

There are no restrictions on the business the Company may carry on in the Articles of Incorporation.

Under Article 17 of the Company’s Articles and Division 3 of the Act, a director must declare its interest in any existing or proposed contract or transaction with the Company and is not allowed to vote on any transaction or contract with the Company in which has a disclosable interest, unless all directors have a disclosable interest in that contract or transaction, in which case any or all of those directors may vote on such resolution. A director may hold any office or place of profit with the Company in conjunction with the office of director, and no director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company. A director or his firm may act in a professional capacity for the Company and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services. A director may become a director or other officer or employee of, or otherwise interested in, any corporation or firm in which the Company may be interested as a shareholder or otherwise. The director shall not be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by him from such other corporation or firm subject to the provisions of the Act.

Article 16 of the Company’s articles address the powers and duties of the directors. Directors must manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and have the authority to exercise all such powers which are not required to be exercised by the shareholders as governed by the Act.

Article 19 addresses Committees of the Board of Directors. Directors may, by resolution, create and appoint an executive committee consisting of the director or directors that they deem appropriate. This executive committee has, during the intervals between meetings of the Board, all of the directors’ powers, except the power to fill vacancies in the Board, the power to remove a Director, the power to change the membership of, or fill vacancies in, any committee of the Board and any such other powers as may be set out in the resolution or any subsequent directors’ resolution. Directors may also by resolution appoint one or more committees other than the executive committee. These committees may be delegated any of the directors’ powers except the power to fill vacancies on the board of directors, the power to remove a director, the power to change the membership or fill vacancies on any committee of the directors, and the power to appoint or remove officers appointed by the directors.

Article 18 details the proceedings of directors. The Directors may meet to conduct business, adjourn, and otherwise regulate their meetings as they see fit. A director may, and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, if any, on the request of a director must call a meeting of the directors at any time. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors may be fixed by the directors and if not so fixed shall be deemed to be set at two directors. If the number of directors is set at one, a quorum is deemed to be one director, and that director may constitute a meeting.

Article 8 details the borrowing powers of the Directors. The Company may, if authorized by the Directors:

Borrow money in the manner and amount, on the security, from the sources and on the terms and conditions that they consider appropriate;

Issue bonds, debentures, and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of the Company or any other person and at such discounts or premiums and on such other terms as they consider appropriate;

Guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person; and

Mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, grant a security interest in or give other security on, the whole or any part of the present or future assets and undertaking of the Company.

A director need not be a shareholder of the Company, and there are no age limit requirements pertaining to the retirement or non-retirement of directors. The directors are entitled to the remuneration for acting as directors, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine. If the directors so decide, the remuneration of directors, if any, will be determined by the shareholders. The remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any officer or employee of the Company as such who is also a director. The Company must reimburse each director for the reasonable expenses that he or she may incur in and about the business of the Company.

If any director performs any professional or other services for the Company that in the opinion of the directors are outside the ordinary duties of a director, or if any director is otherwise specially occupied in or about the Company’s business, he or she may be paid remuneration fixed by the directors, or, at the option of that director, fixed by ordinary resolution and such remuneration may be either in addition to, or in substitution for, any other remuneration that he or she may be entitled to receive. Unless other determined by ordinary resolution, the directors on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any director who has held any salaried office or place of profit with the Company or to his or her spouse or dependents and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

Article 21 provides for the mandatory indemnification of directors, former directors, and alternate directors, as well as his or her heirs and legal personal representatives, against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Subject to any restrictions in the Business Corporations Act , the Company may indemnify any person. The failure of a director, alternate director, or officer of the Company to comply with the Business Corporations Act or the Company’s Articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled. The directors may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of eligible parties who:

is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of the Company;

is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Company;

at the request of the Company, is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; and

at the request of the Company, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director, alternate director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity.

The rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of the Company’s shares are as follows:

Common Shares

The authorized share structure consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. All the shares of common stock of the Company are of the same class and, once issued, rank equally as to dividends, voting powers, and participation in assets. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be acted upon by the shareholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors, in its discretion, out of funds legally available therefore.

Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata the assets of Company, if any, remaining after payments of all debts and liabilities. No shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights and no provisions for redemption or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds.

Under Article 9 and subject to the Act, the Company may alter its authorized share structure by special resolution. These special resolutions may:

create one or more classes or series of shares or, if none of the shares of a series of a class or series of shares are allotted or issued, eliminate that class or series of shares;

increase, reduce or eliminate the maximum number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares or establish a maximum number of shares that the company is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares for which no maximum is established;

subdivide or consolidate all or any of its unissued, or fully paid issued, shares;

if the Company is authorized to issue shares of a class or shares with par value;

decrease the par value of those shares; or

if none of the shares of that class of shares are allotted or issued, increase the par value of those shares;

change all or any of its unissued, or fully paid issued, shares with par value into shares without par value or any of its unissued shares without par value into shares with par value;

alter the identifying name of any of its shares; or

otherwise alter its share or authorized share structure when required or permitted to do so by the Act.

Subject to Article 9.2 and the Act, the Company may by special resolution:

create special rights or restrictions for, and attach those special rights or restrictions to, the shares of any class or series of shares, whether or not any or all of those shares have been issued; or

vary or delete any special rights or restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series of shares, whether or not any or all of those shares have been issued.

The Company may by consent resolution of the directors or by special resolution authorize an alteration of its Notice of Articles in order to change its name or adopt or change any translation of that name.

The directors may, whenever they think fit, call a meeting of shareholders. An annual general meeting shall be held once every calendar year at such time (not being more than 15 months after holding the last preceding annual meeting) at such time and place as may be determined by the Directors.

There are no limitations upon the rights to own securities.

There are no provisions that would have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company.

There is no special ownership threshold above which an ownership position must be disclosed. However, any ownership level above 10% must be disclosed to the TSX Venture Exchange and the British Columbia Securities Commission.

A copy of the Company’s articles is filed as an exhibit to this Form 20-F Registration Statement.

10.C. Material Contracts

Copies of Material Contracts are filed as exhibits to this Registration Statement.

1. Consulting Agreement between Rare Element and Donald Ranta, dated 9/1/2007.

2. Royalty Re-Purchase Agreement between the Company and Freeport-McMoRan Corporation (“Freeport”), dated 3/31/2009. Under the agreement, the Company purchased the royalty interest (the "Royalty") on certain claims, plus an area of interest, on the Bear Lodge Property, for a one-time payment of $50,000.

10.D. Exchange Controls

Canada has no system of exchange controls. There are no Canadian restrictions on the repatriation of capital or earnings of a Canadian public company to non-resident investors. There are no laws in Canada or exchange restrictions affecting the remittance of dividends, profits, interest, royalties and other payments to non-resident holders of Rare Element’s securities, except as discussed in ITEM 10, ”Taxation" below.

Restrictions on Share Ownership by Non-Canadians: There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or in the organizing documents of Rare Element on the right of foreigners to hold or vote securities of Rare Element, except that the Investment Canada Act may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain acquisitions of “control” of Rare Element by a “non-Canadian”. The threshold for acquisitions of control is generally defined as being one-third or more of the voting shares of Rare Element. “Non-Canadian” generally means an individual who is not a Canadian citizen, or a corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is ultimately controlled by non-Canadians.

10.E Taxation

The Company believes the following is a brief summary of all material principal Canadian federal income tax consequences to a holder of common shares of the Company (a “U.S. Holder”) who deals at arm's length with the Company, holds the shares as capital property and who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”) and the Canada – United States Income Tax Convention (the “Treaty”), is at all relevant times resident in the United States, is not and is not deemed to be resident in Canada and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the shares in carrying on a business in Canada. Special rules, which are not discussed below, may apply to a U.S. Holder that is an insurer that carries on business in Canada and elsewhere.

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Under the Act and the Treaty, a U.S. Holder of common shares will generally be subject to a 15% withholding tax on dividends paid or credited or deemed by the Act to have been paid or credited on such shares. The withholding tax rate is 5% where the U.S. Holder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company and the dividends may be exempt from such withholding in the case of some U.S. Holders such as qualifying pension funds and charities.

In general, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on capital gains arising on the disposition of shares of the Company unless (i) at any time in the five-year period immediately preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock was owned by (or was under option of or subject to an interest of) the U.S. holder or persons with whom the U.S. holder did not deal at arm's length, and (ii) the value of the Company’s common shares at the time of the disposition derives principally from real property (as defined in the Treaty) situated in Canada. For this purpose, the Treaty defines real property situated in Canada to include rights to explore for or exploit mineral deposits situated in Canada, rights to amounts computed by reference to the amount or value of production from such mineralization, certain other rights in respect of properties situated in Canada and shares of a corporation the value of whose shares is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

The US Internal Revenue Code provides special anti-deferral rules regarding certain distributions received by US persons with respect to, and sales and other dispositions (including pledges) of stock of, a passive foreign investment company. A foreign corporation, such as the Company, will be treated as a passive foreign investment company if 75% or more of its gross income is passive income for a taxable year or if the average percentage of its assets (by value) that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is at least 50% for a taxable year. The Company believes that it was not a passive foreign investment company for the taxable years ended 6/30/2009 or 6/30/2008 and, furthermore, expects to conduct its affairs in such a manner so that it will not meet the criteria to be considered passive foreign investment company in the foreseeable future.

This summary does not address potential tax effects relevant to our Company or those tax considerations that depend upon circumstances specific to each investor. In addition, this discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular investors subject to special treatment under certain U.S. Federal income tax laws, such as dealers in securities, tax-exempt entities, banks, insurance companies and non-U.S. Holders. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares in our Company.

10.F. Dividends and Paying Agents

The Company has not declared any dividends on its common shares for the last five years and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future. The present policy of the Company is to retain future earnings for use in its operations and the expansion of its business.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned: the Company is unaware of any dividend restrictions; has no specific procedure for the setting of the date of dividend entitlement; but might expect to set a record date for stock ownership to determine entitlement; has no specific procedures for non-resident holders to claim dividends, but might expect to mail their dividends in the same manner as resident holders. The Company has not nominated any financial institutions to be the potential paying agents for dividends in the United States.

10.G. Statement by Experts

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2009/2008/2007 Ended June 30th have been audited by DeVisser Gray LLP, Chartered Accountant. Their audit report is included with the related consolidated financial statements in this Registration Statement with their consent.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

a. Market risk . Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and other price risk.

b. Interest rate risk . The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank accounts and guaranteed investment certificates that earn interest at variable interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values as of June 30, 2009. Future cash flows from interest income on cash and cash equivalents will be affected by interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on preservation of capital and liquidity.

c. Foreign currency risk . The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk as monetary financial instruments are denominated in Canadian Dollars. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

d. Other price risk . Other price risk is the risk that the fair or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.

Net loss and other comprehensive loss for the year ended June 30, 2009 could have varied if the Canadian Dollar to US Dollar foreign exchange rate varied by reasonably possible amounts from their actual balance sheet date values.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of Rare Element Resources Ltd.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Rare Element Resources Ltd. as at June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, retained earnings and deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended June 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended June 30, 2009 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Rare Element Resources Ltd. (“Rare Element” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on June 3, 1999.

The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s continuing operations and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral property interests, obtaining the necessary permits to mine, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests. To date, the Company has no revenue and has an accumulated operating deficit of $5,377,562.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and are inclusive of the accounts of the Company and Paso Rico Resources Ltd. (“Paso Rico”), together with those of Paso Rico’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Minera Santa Regina, S.A. de C.V., Compania Minera Real de las Lomas, S.A. de C.V. and Paso Rico (USA), Inc. The Company is in the process of winding down the two Mexican companies.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs

The cost of mineral properties and related exploration expenditures are deferred until the properties are placed into production, sold or abandoned. These deferred costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the properties following the commencement of production, or written-off if the properties are allowed to lapse or are abandoned.

Cost includes the cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued for the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements are recorded in the accounts at such time as payments are made. Proceeds from options granted are applied to the cost of the related property and any excess is included in income for the period.

The recorded amounts of mineral claim acquisition costs and their related deferred exploration costs represent actual expenditures incurred and are not intended to reflect present or future values.

The Company reviews capitalized costs on its mineral properties periodically and will recognize an impairment in value based upon current exploration results and upon management’s assessment of the future probability of profitable revenues from the property or from the sale of the property. Management’s assessment of a property’s estimated current fair market value may also be based upon a review of other property transactions that have occurred in the same geographic area as that of the property under review.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the US Dollar. The Company’s Canadian operations are considered to be integrated with foreign currency transactions translated into US Dollars as follows:

monetary assets and liabilities at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates;

other assets and liabilities at the applicable historical exchange rates;

revenues and expenses at the average rates of exchange for the period, and;

gains and losses arising from the conversion of foreign-currency balances and transactions are reported in income as they occur.

Cash and cash equivalents

Provided that the instruments are readily convertible at the balance sheet date into cash without penalty at their carrying value, the Company considers its highly liquid term investments, typically with Canadian Chartered banks, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts which exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2009, the Company had its cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and holds no asset backed commercial paper.

Amortization

The Company provides for amortization on its computer equipment at 55%, and software at 100%, declining balance (one-half of the rate is taken in the year of acquisition and disposition).

Income taxes

The Company accounts for and measures future tax assets and liabilities in accordance with the liability method, where future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively-enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment of the change. When the future realization of income tax assets does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of the future benefit is taken and no asset is recognized. Such an allowance applies fully to all potential income tax assets of the Company.

Loss per share

The loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is not presented as the effect on the basic loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock options granted using the fair value based method of accounting. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable, and are charged to operations over the vesting period. The offset is initially credited to contributed surplus and subsequently transferred to share capital if and when the related options are exercised. Cash received on the exercise of stock options is also credited to share capital.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

Asset retirement obligations

The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.

The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of long lived assets. The liability is accreted over the estimated time period until settlement of the obligation and asset is depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. Changes in the liability for an asset retirement obligation due to the passage of time will be measured by applying an interest method of allocation. The amount will be recognized as an increase in the liability and an accretion expense in the statement of operations. Changes resulting form revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as an increase or a decrease in the carrying amount of the liability and the related capitalized asset retirement cost.

Comparative figures

Certain of the prior year’s figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s financial statement presentation.

Changes in accounting policies

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results as a result of the adoption of these new standards:

Section 3863 – Financial Instruments – Presentation, which enhances financial statement users’ understanding of the significance of financial instruments to an entity’s financial position, performance and cash flows (Note 12).

Section 1535 – Capital Disclosures, which establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed (Note 13). Under this standard, the Company is required to disclose the following:

qualitative information about its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital;

summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital;

whether during the period it complied with any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject; and

when the Company has not complied with such externally imposed capital requirements, the consequences of such non-compliance.

Section 1400 – General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation, which include requirements for management to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (Note 1).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

New accounting standards

The CICA has issued new standards which may affect the financial disclosures and results of operations of the Company for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Company will adopt the requirements on the date specified for each respective section the impact of these standards on the consolidated financial statements, as outlined below.

a) Section 3064 –- Goodwill and Intangible Assets

This new standard replaces the former CICA 3062 – Goodwill and other intangible assets and establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. CICA 3064 is effective for interim and annual financial statements for years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Company believes that adoption of this section will result in no material changes to the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

b) Section 1582 –- Business combinations, Section 1601 consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 non-controlling interests

These sections replace the former CICA 1581, Business Combinations and CICA 1600, Consolidated Financial Statements and establish a new section for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. These sections provide the Canadian equivalent to FASB Statements No. 141(R), Business Combinations and No. 160 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. CICA 1582 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011. CICA 1601 and CICA 1602 apply to interim and annual consolidated financial statements relating to years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

c) Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2009 the CICA issued EIC-173, “Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which requires the Company to consider its own credit risk as well as the credit risk of its counterparty when determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including derivative instruments. The accounting treatments provided in EIC-173 have been applied in the preparation of these financial statements and as required have been applied retrospectively without restatement of prior periods. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the valuation of financial assets or liabilities.

d) Mining Exploration Costs

In March 2009 the CICA issued EIC-174, “Mining Exploration Costs” which provides guidance to mining enterprises related to the measurement of exploration costs and the conditions that a mining enterprise should consider when determining the need to perform an impairment review of such costs. The accounting treatments provided in EIC-174 have been applied in the preparation of these financial statements and will not have an impact on the valuation of exploration assets.

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that publicly accountable enterprises will be required to adopt IFRS for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. Accordingly, the conversion to IFRS will be applicable to the Company’s reporting no later than in the first quarter of 2011, with restatement of comparative information presented. The conversion to IFRS will impact the Company’s accounting policies, information technology and data systems, internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures. The transition may also impact business activities, such as foreign currency activities, certain contractual arrangements, capital requirements and compensation arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating the future impact of IFRS on its financial statements and will continue to invest in training and additional resources to ensure a timely and accurate conversion.

MINERAL PROPERTIES AND DEFERRED EXPLORATION COSTS

The amounts shown represent costs incurred to date, and do not necessarily represent present or future values as these are entirely dependent upon the economic recovery of future ore reserves. A summary of current property interests is as follows:

Bear Lodge Property

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Paso Rico (USA), Inc., holds a 100% interest in a group of unpatented mineral claims known as the Bear Lodge Property. The property is situated in the Bear Lodge Mountains of Crook County, in northeast Wyoming. These claims were, in part, acquired from Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (“Freeport”) by way of a “Mineral Lease and Option for Deed”. Certain claims and a portion of a defined area of influence surrounding the claims were subject to a production royalty of 2% of Net Smelter Returns ("NSR") royalty payable to Freeport. On March 31, 2009, the Company re-purchased the NSR for $50,000, $27,000 of which was assigned to Newmont. Paso Rico (USA), Inc. also owns a portion of the claim group outright and these claims are not subject to the NSR.

The property comprises 90 federal unpatented mineral claims and a 640-acre Wyoming state lease for a total of approximately 2,100 acres. There is a sliding scale royalty on certain state lease land due to the State of Wyoming if ore is mined from the state section.

On June 1, 2006, Paso Rico (USA), Inc. and Newmont North America Exploration Limited (“Newmont”), a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, signed an agreement to establish a gold-exploration venture on the Company’s Bear Lodge, Wyoming property (“Venture”). Under the agreement, Newmont has the right to earn a 65% participating interest in the Bear Lodge property, excluding any rights to the rare-earth elements and uranium, but including rights to gold and other metals, by spending $5 million on property exploration by 2011.

Newmont also has the right to earn an additional 15% participating interest by completing a positive feasibility study. If the Company’s interest is reduced to 20%, the Company shall have a financing option by which it may elect for Newmont to carry the Company’s share of Venture expenditures, without further dilution to the Company, until commencement of mining on the property. The funds advanced by Newmont under the financing option, plus interest at LIBOR plus 3%, shall be recouped from 90% of the Company’s portion of the proceeds from production.

MINERAL PROPERTIES AND DEFERRED EXPLORATION COSTS, Continued

Bear Lodge Property, Continued

Newmont staked an additional 116 Federal lode mineral claims, which are included as part of the Venture’s property. The total Venture area of interest consists of approximately nine square miles, mostly located in the north portion of the Bear Lodge Mountains.

Newmont is the operator of the gold-exploration program. The Company will continue to operate its own rare-earth-element exploration program; however, if the two exploration programs conflict, the Venture, under Newmont, may choose to operate both programs. The Company is advancing the exploration and evaluation of the rare-earth mineralization on the Bear Lodge property.

All claims are located on federal lands and are subject to annual maintenance fees payable to the United States Bureau of Land Management. These fees are now paid by Newmont as long as the Newmont agreement remains in effect.

Kipawa Property

In April 2006, the Company acquired the property by staking 26 claims, totaling approximately 1,531 hectares. The property is located in Quebec, 90 km north of North Bay, Ontario. The Company wrote off $4,841 in fiscal 2007 upon making an agreement to sell the property. On October 12, 2007, the Company sold the property for its residual carrying amount of $1,500 CDN ($1,416).

INVESTMENT

In fiscal 2008, the Company sold to Almaden Minerals Ltd. (“Almaden”) its 2% NSR royalty on a Mexican property which has been previously written off by the Company. The NSR was sold for $20,000 and 25,000 Almaden warrants exercisable at a price of $3.00 CDN until March 20, 2010. A fair value of $15,083 was assigned to these warrants and was estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: A risk free interest rate of 3.98%, a volatility rate of 52.42%, and an expected time to exercise of 3 years.

The Company wrote off the estimated value of $15,083 of the 25,000 Almaden warrants as of June 30, 2009.

Almaden has an officer in common with the Company.

RECLAMATION BOND

The Company was required to post a reclamation bond which covers the cost to reclaim the ground disturbed during its exploration programs at the Bear Lodge Property. On July 23, 2004, $10,000 was transferred to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality for the bond required to cover the exploration program. The Company must complete certain reclamation work for these funds to be released, but may leave the bond in place for future exploration programs, even if such work is completed.

In August 2006, an additional bond of $10,000 was set up in the name of Paso Rico (USA), Inc., but it was paid by Newmont. This bond covers Newmont’s gold-exploration reclamation work and is not included in these financial statements. It will revert to Newmont if and when Newmont completes its reclamation.

In August 2009, an additional bond of $100,000 was set up in the name of Paso Rico (USA), Inc., for the benefit of Rare Element Resources, The bond covers the Company’s rare-earth exploration reclamation work.

Stock-based compensation

The fair value of stock options and warrants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

	2009	2008	2007
Risk-free interest rate	1.27 – 2.03%	3.03 – 4.29%	4.08%
Annualized volatility	92 - 108%	86 – 89%	88%
Expected dividend yield	Nil	Nil	Nil
Expected option life in years	1.5 - 5 years	5 years	4 years

The weighted average fair value per option granted during the year ended June 30, 2009 was $0.58 (2008 – $0.27). During the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the Company respectively recognized $428,350, $423,891 and $240,142 of stock-based compensation expense for options granted to directors, officers, and consultants.

The warrants attached to the May 2009 private placement (Note 7b(iv)) were valued at $290,328 based upon the average of the pro-rata method and the Black Scholes option pricing model.

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect fair value estimates and, therefore, it is management’s view that the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock-option grants.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Potential environmental contingency

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal, provincial and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect public health and the environment, and believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. The ultimate amount of reclamation and other future site-restoration costs to be incurred for existing mining interests is uncertain.

11.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment, being exploration and development of mineral properties.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS

The Company’s financial instruments typically consist of cash, short term investments, amounts receivable, investments in shares or warrants and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash equivalents, temporary investments and investments in shares and warrants of public companies have been classified as held for trading and are re-valued to market at each period end. Unrealized gains and losses on re-valuation are recorded in operations.

Amounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables and are carried at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other liabilities and are carried at amortized cost. These instruments have fair values which approximate their cost due to their short-term nature.

The Company’s operations consist of the acquisition and exploration of mineral resource properties in United States. The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

Credit risk

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Company by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of set-off exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the financial statements.

(i) Trade credit risk

The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet commenced commercial production or sales. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall the Company’s credit risk has not changed significantly from the prior year.

(ii) Cash and cash equivalents

In order to manage credit and liquidity risk the Company invests only in highly rated investment grade instruments that have maturities of three months or less. Limits are also established based on the type of investment, the counterparty and the credit rating.

(iii)Derivative financial instruments

As at June 30, 2009, the Company has no derivative financial instruments. It may in the future enter into derivative financial instruments and in order to manage credit risk, it will only enter into derivative financial instruments with highly rated investment grade counterparties.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period.

Interest rate risk

The Company’s interest revenue earned on cash and on short term investments is exposed to interest rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts to manage this risk, and the Company’s exposure to interest rate is very low as the Company has limited short term investments.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, Continued,

Currency risk

The Company’s property interests in the United States subject it to foreign currency fluctuations which may adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is affected by changes in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and US dollar.

A one cent change in the US/CDN dollar currency rate would affect the Company’s estimated one-year exploration expenditures by $15,000.

The Company does not invest in derivatives to mitigate these risks.

Interest rate risk

The Company limits its exposure to interest rate risk as it invests only in short term investments at major Canadian financial institutions.

A one percent change in interest rates changes the results of operations by $6,000.

13. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL RISK

The Company manages its cash and cash equivalents, common shares, stock options and warrants as capital (Note 7). The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.

In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities 90 days or less from the original date of acquisition, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

The Company expects its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry its exploration plans and operations through fiscal 2010.

The letter of intent calls for a due diligence period, which is currently underway, prior to the signing of a formal purchase agreement. The common shares will be issued as to 75,000 at closing and three additional 75,000 tranches at six month intervals thereafter. The Company has the right to buy 50% of the 3% NSR for $1.5 million and has also agreed to pay a finder’s fee of 20,000 common shares to two parties for this acquisition. The acquisition is subject to various conditions including the approval of the respective Boards of Directors and the consent of regulatory authorities.

15. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). Material variations in the accounting principles, practices and methods used in preparing these consolidated financial statements from principles, practices and methods accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and that impact consolidated financial statement line items, are described below.

Mineral property costs

Under Canadian GAAP, mineral exploration expenditures can be deferred on prospective mineral rights until such time as it is determined that further exploration work is not warranted, at which time the mineral exploration expenditures are written-off. Under U.S. GAAP, all exploration expenditures are expensed until an independent feasibility study has determined that the mineral rights are capable of economic commercial production.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, Continued

Recent United States Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value; and entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS No. 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS No. 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial

Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of Public Company Oversight Board, or PCAOB, Auditing Standards No. 6, “Evaluating Consistency of Financial Statements (AS/6).” The adoption of SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Recent United States Accounting Pronouncements, Continued

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.” This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
