Quantum Files Updated NI 43-101 Report on Elk Creek Niobium Deposit

Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp. (TSX VENTURE:QRE)(OTCQX:QREDF)(FRANKFURT:BR3)

is pleased to announce the filing of an updated NI 43-101 resource report on the Elk Creek Carbonatite project. The report specifically deals with the core Niobium zone, and does not reflect results of any of the Rare Earth Element zones also located on the property. The report, prepared by Tetra Tech Wardrop (Tetra Tech) will be available on SEDAR and the Company's website shortly.

The updated resource estimate for the Elk Creek Niobium Deposit has resulted in an overall increase in tonnage with an Indicated Mineral Resource of 19.3 million tonnes grading 0.67% Nb2O5 (using a 0.40% Nb2O5 cut-off grade), and an increase in Inferred Mineral Resources to 83.3 million tonnes grading 0.63% Nb2O5 (using a 0.40% Nb2O5 cut-off grade). The resource update is the result of an additional three holes completed by the Company at the Elk Creek Niobium Deposit in 2011.

About Quantum: Quantum is developing the Elk Creek Carbonatite, the only primary niobium deposit known to be under development in the U.S., and the highest grade undeveloped niobium deposit in North America. Niobium is mainly used in the form of Ferro-Niobium to produce HSLA (High Strength, Low Alloy) steel, to produce lighter, stronger steel for use in automotive, structural and pipeline industries. The U.S. imports 100% of its niobium needs. Niobium is listed as a strategic metal, and is being considered for national stockpiling in the U.S., China, and several European countries.
