Medallion Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MDL)(OTCQX:MLLOF)(FRANKFURT:MRD) ("Medallion" or the "Company"), announces that, working with metallurgical consultants, it has produced preliminary processing technical plans, including flow sheets and initial capital and operating financial models, for a monazite-based rare-earth processing facility, which is expected to be constructed in the Middle East. The proposed facility, based on assumed annual rare-earth-oxide production of 10,000 tonnes per year, incorporates modules for monazite feedstock upgrading, total rare-earth extraction from monazite, and separation of individual light and heavy rare-earth oxides.

"Over the last few months, while senior management has advanced discussions with potential Middle East joint-venture partners, we have completed our initial rare-earth-processing technical plans, which significantly reduces project risk," said Dr Bill Bird, Medallion Chairman and CEO. "This work provides solid support for our approach and the project's attractive economics, and has strengthened our position in the current partnership discussions."

Medallion's rare-earth production strategy is to exploit available supplies of monazite, a rare-earth phosphate mineral that is a by-product of heavy-mineral-sands mining operations and that has a proven, metallurgical extraction process. This model fits exceptionally well with the goals of potential Middle East joint-venture partners. Negotiations to locate and finance a major rare-earth production facility in the Middle East are moving forward steadily and positively. The Middle East offers first-class transportation and industrial infrastructure, low-cost power, and ready availability of necessary chemicals and skilled labour. These positive and practical attributes are supported by industry-friendly jurisdictions.

"Having just attended the MENA Mining Show in Dubai on October 22 and 23, as both a presenter and sponsor, I can confirm that there is significant interest in, and positive support for, Medallion's monazite business model," said Donald Lay, Medallion President and Director. "I am at the TZMI Congress in Hong Kong this week, where our management team is discussing monazite feedstock procurement with industry representatives of the titanium and zircon feedstock industries."
