Canada Rare Earth has arranged trade-financing loans to support approximately $150,000 per month of sales based on the payment terms currently in place with suppliers and the customer base. The amount of trade financing required by the Company is dependent on a number of factors including increasing frequency and and sizes of transactions and changing terms of payments and collections. Management is actively pursuing a larger and more permanent trade finance facility to support the Company’s growing revenues.

In the four months subsequent to the March 31, 2017 year-end, the Company completed more than $400,000 of sales of rare earth products and has placed deposits with suppliers in excess of $100,000.

Tracy A. Moore, CEO of Canada Rare Earth explained, “we have established a solid base and method of trading rare earths from which we are confidently gaining momentum. The trading activities are providing a positive contribution to our cash flow allowing our team additional resources to develop even more trading opportunities while we also focus on our key-value of acquiring and developing proprietary rare earth enhancement facilities.”

Salil Dhaumya, CFO of Canada Rare Earth added, “we are scheduling to issue the June 30, 2017 quarterly financial statements and management discussion and analysis by August 23, 2017. These reports will document the increasing momentum of our Company.”
