OAKVILLE, Ontario, April 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Rock
Development Corp. (OTCPK: GROC) is pleased to announce that it has
entered into an agreement for the acquisition of mineral rights for
rare earths to add to its gold rights from the Byers Brook and
Shatter Lake properties in Nova
Scotia. Under the terms of the Agreement, Great Rock
Development Corporation is acquiring the rights to rare earth
minerals in exchange for 2 M Rule 144 shares of GROC restricted
from resale for a period of two years together with royalty
payments of 18% of net proceeds generated from the mining of the
claims.
GROC has been carefully monitoring the activity by others in the
surrounding areas as they established claims and began exploration
as a result of the original report of gold finds by the Nova Scotia
Department of Natural Resources. Rare earth elements have
been reported in the region and warrant further exploration,
especially in combination with gold exploration.
About this lucrative Region
The Nova Scotia Ministry of Natural Resources reports:
"Significant rare earth element (REE) and associated Y, Zr, Nb
mineralization has recently been discovered along the contact zone
between granitic rocks of the Hart Lake-Byers Lake Pluton and
overlying cogenetic felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the
Byers Brook Formation. REE mineralization is represented by fine-
to coarse-grained magmatic/hydrothermal granitic dykes that range
in thickness from < 1 to > 50 cm."
