Tasman Metals Ltd.TICKER: TSM:TSX.V; TAS:NYSE.A; TASXF:OTCPK; T61:FSETasman Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on rare earth elements (REE) in Europe. Tasman's flagship project is Norra Karr, located in infrastructure-rich, mining-friendly Sweden. The project is the fourth-largest heavy rare earth element project in the world and the only NI-43-101-compliant REE mineral resource in mainland Europe. The inferred resource of 60.5 Mt. averages 0.54% total rare earth oxide with 53% heavy rare earth oxide is unusually rich in yttrium and dysprosium and can secure REE metal supply for Europe for many years. |

Expert Analysis
Jeb Handwerger for Resource Investor (1/9/12) "Tasman Metals Ltd. [is] leading the pack. B. .the company dominates the European continent as the only possessor of an NI 43-101-compliant resource with heavy rare earths and a high percentage of the vital element dysprosium. . .Tasman [has] broken downtrends on record high volume the first week of 2012."
The Critical Metals Report Interview with Anthony Mariano (12/13/11) "Eudialyte is an attractive, potential source of HREEs. . .Active exploration for acceptable grade and tonnage is happening. . . at Nora Kärr, in Sweden [which is] is Tasman Metals Ltd.'s project. . .Tasman [is] experimenting with the economic chemical processing of eudialyte and making innovative progress."
The Critical Metals Report Interview with Luisa Moreno
(12/6/11)
Louisa Moreno: Other companies that probably have sufficient cash for a year [include] Tasman Metals Ltd.
TCMR: With key European players behind Tasman's Norra Karr deposit, is there any way that project can be fast-tracked?
LM: . . .While Sweden is eager to have the project going forward, they will probably stay cautious, avoiding extreme fast tracking because of the risk of pollution or other troubles. I hear that the European Union is interested in seeing this project develop. . .I think Sweden will take its time and make sure the work is done properly. . .metallurgy is definitely an important aspect in the timing to market.
Olivia D'Orazio, Proactive Investors (12/6/11) "Tasman Metals Ltd. reported final drill results from the phase 3 drill program at its wholly-owned Norra Karr rare earth element (REE) project in Sweden, including a new REE-zirconium intrusion located 5km south of the property. . .notable results from the 29-hole program, each of which hit mineralization, include hole NKA11042, which intersected 126m grading 0.48% total rare earth oxides (TREO) and 1.63% zirconium, including 0.8% TREO and 1.77% zirconium over 36.3m."
The Critical Metals Report Interview with Gareth Hatch
(11/22/11)
"Other names that show up as you go down the line: the Norra Karr project from Tasman Metals Ltd. in Sweden would be one. Norra Karr features quite a bit of terbium and dysprosium. . .one has to remember that these materials are fungible, so you can use them anywhere, not just in one geographic region. . .What struck me about Norra Karr was that it's maybe 400 meters from a major highway that comes southwest from Stockholm. From an infrastructure and accessibility point of view, it doesn't get much better than that.
The current plans go as far as the concentrate stage. Like a number of other rare-earth projects currently under exploration and development, Norra Karr contains zirconium silicate minerals, so Tasman will have to demonstrate that it can handle what are thought of by some, to be difficult minerals to process. HREE concentrates are typically going to be separated via different processing circuits than the other concentrates potentially produced at such deposits; so the company may go elsewhere to get its concentrates separated; Tasman is keeping its options open. The company may not necessarily do the separation in-house. . .The Tasman folks have said that Norra Karr is looking at $200M for getting to the concentrate stage. Its relatively low number for a HREE project is influenced by the presence of existing infrastructure."
