(\"\n \n Monumental\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") (TSXV: MNRL) is pleased to announce the appointment of an advisory board to assist with the exploration and drill target definition of the Jemi heavy rare earth element (HREE) Project located in\n \n Coahuila, Mexico\n \n , about 40 km south of the\n \n Texas, USA\n \n border.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Jemi Project hosts numerous rare earth element (REE) occurrences containing potentially economic concentrations of the high value magnetic REEs including neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb) with associated tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), and zirconium (Zr). Jemi sits within the North American Alkaline Igneous Belt, an under explored north-south trend over 3000km long of alkaline igneous rocks and carbonatites that are host to numerous REE, gold and other critical element deposits.\n \n \n The REE mineralization discovered to date at Jemi exhibits characteristics and mineralogy consistent with peralkaline intrusion related deposits, which represent an important potentially economic style for the highest value HREE.  Deposits of this type are being explored and prepared for development in\n \n Australia\n \n ,\n \n Europe\n \n and North America.\n \n \n At present, ionic clay deposits in southern\n \n China\n \n and\n \n Myanmar\n \n are the primary source of the world's HREE, however the limited resource size, high environmental legacy of such deposits and increasing export restriction, is driving the discovery and development other more sustainable sources of HREE.  The REEs Dy and Tb are typically enriched in peralkaline deposits and are essential for the performance of high strength permanent magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines.\n \n \n Exploration at Jemi is curre...
