U.S. Rare Earths Moves Its Headquarters To Texas

NEW YORK, July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Rare Earths, Inc., "UREE", (OTCBB: UREE), a rare earths exploration company with mining claims in Idaho, Montana, and Colorado, announced today a change in its corporate headquarters.

Effective immediately, U.S. Rare Earths, Inc., a Nevada corporation will headquarter its operations in Plano, Texas.

The Company will maintain its operating office in New York City.

The change will benefit UREE through the continued involvement of its Chairman, Victor Lattimore, who manages his broader business interests from Plano Texas.

"It should be clear how important Mr. Lattimore's continued involvement will be in the growth of the Company, including his commitment to creating American jobs," said Kevin Cassidy, CEO of U.S. Rare Earths.

"Mr. Lattimore, as the President of Lattimore Materials Company, employed more than 1,600 people, operated and controlled 7 aggregate mines, 26 concrete plants, in addition to 4 rail terminals and a fleet of over 400 mixer and haul trucks.  Mr. Lattimore is also past-chairman of the board of Texas Aggregate and Concrete Association, and a past member of the Governor's Advisory Committee of Rock Crushers and Quarries.

"Mr. Lattimore's accomplishments, experience and proven commercial success in building an integrated operation, allowed his company to become the premier American concrete and aggregates supplier in the southwest. His involvement will be vital in taking UREE to the next level.

"The Company will benefit enormously from Mr. Lattimore's  business acumen and highly regarded personal stature. His involvement translates into an incredible asset for all of the UREE  shareholders."

In addition, Mr. Lattimore is the President and Chairman of the Board for Lattimore Properties, Inc. (LPI), which holds interests in several companies engaged in numerous real estate, agricultural and investment enterprises.  Mr. Lattimore was the past-president of Lattimore Materials Company from 1986 to the date it was sold in March 2011.

Mr. Lattimore has the distinction of being an honorary member of the U.S. Navy Seal Teams, and recently received the honor of being placed on the Board of Directors for the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. He serves on the Board of Trustees of the Lattimore Foundation and is a member of the National Center for Policy Analysis Board of Directors ("NCPA").

Mr. Lattimore plays a very active role in several charities.  He has received the Excalibur Award and the Top Gun Award from the American Cancer Society.  He was honored with the Bob Beard Good Neighbor Award from the Texas Aggregate and Concrete Association.

He was named Chairman of U.S. Rare Earths, Inc. in June 2011.

The change in headquarters follows recent announcements of Mark Crandall and former Governor Bob Kerrey to the Company's Board of Directors.
