SAN DIEGO, CA -- February 27, 2015 -- SourcingLink.net, Inc. (PINKSHEETS:SNET) “We believe the rare earth metal (REM) industry is poised for a turnaround.  Initially, we went into the area because of the recorded radiation readings by the Canadian Government.    Our first exploration resulted in more findings than we had expected. We are excited for these early results.” said Chuck Wagner, president of SourcingLink.net

 

According to the January 7th Reuters article, China supplies 90% of the world’s REM supplies. There are only two companies outside of China that currently produce rare earth metals.  When China restricted exports in 2010, REM’s reached an all-time high.  We feel a large reason these metals are currently low is that industrial nations are drawing down on their own stock piles. When these stockpiles are depleted, countries will need additional resources to supply these metals which SNET is working towards being a supplier.

 

“Beijing is expected to unveil new regulations for rare earth mining, processing and exports, perhaps including a value-added tax to replace the export tariff”  Reuters, January 7, 2015.  In our opinion, this translates to a higher price being paid by consumers.
