1. NATURE OF OPERATIONSRare Element Resources Ltd. (“we,” “us,” “RER” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on June 3, 1999.The Company holds a 100% interest in the Bear Lodge rare earth elements project (the “Bear Lodge REE Project”) located near the town of Sundance in northeast Wyoming. The Bear Lodge REE Project consists of several large, disseminated rare earth elements (“REE”) deposits having a favorable distribution of neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr), as well as a number of other critical REEs. Additionally, the Company has developed and enhanced, along with General Atomics and its affiliates, innovative and proprietary REE processing and separation capabilities, currently being tested at the Demonstration Plant (as defined below), for the processing of the Bear Lodge REE Project feed material and possibly feed materials from other sources.If and when developed, the Bear Lodge REE Project will likely consist of a mine and a separation plant to produce a commercial NdPr product. As market conditions dictate, the Company will decide whether it is prudent to develop and put into production the mine and separation plant independent of each other or whether linking the two production processes into a single project is the more prudent path.The Company also holds a 100% interest in the Sundance Gold Project that is adjacent to the Bear Lodge REE Project and contains a historical inferred mineral resource primarily composed of three gold targets within the area of the Bear Lodge property (the “Bear Lodge Property”). The Sundance Gold Project has been on hold since 2011 and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future, although with the rise in the price of gold, the Company may explore options to advance or monetize this asset.The Company is currently focused on the advancement of a rare earth processing and separation demonstration-scale plant (the “Demonstration Plant”). The Demonstration Plant will initially process already stockpiled high-grade sample materials from the Bear Lodge REE Project, and this may be expanded to the processing of feed materials from other sources at some future date. The Company is also focused on advancing the permitting and licensing of the Bear Lodge REE Project, specifically the mine and commercial processing facility.In January 2021, a consortium of companies, of which the Company is a part, received notice from the Department of Energy (the “DoE”) that the consortium had been selected for negotiation of a potential financial award for the engineering, construction and operation of the Demonstration Plant. The financial award was finalized in October 2021. The Company’s contractual arrangement with General Atomics, an affiliate of Synchron, the Company’s majority shareholder, with respect to the DoE award, was entered into in December 2021. See Note 4 for additional details regarding the consortium arrangement, the Cooperative Agreement, and the Cost Share Agreement with General Atomics.To address the Company’s funding needs, including the funding required for completion of the Demonstration Plant, the Company completed a third rights offering in March 2026 for gross proceeds of $30,968 (the “2026 Rights Offering”). See Note 7 for additional details regarding the terms of the 2026 Rights Offering and the planned use of proceeds. Previous rights offerings were completed by the Company in December 2021 (the “2021 Rights Offering”) and March 2024 (the “2024 Rights Offering”) for gross proceeds of approximately $25,400 and $35,800, respectively.Since inception, the General Atomics-led consortium has experienced rising project costs for the Demonstration Plant, including increased final equipment costs, due to inflation, among other factors. The Company currently estimates the total cost of the Demonstration Plant, from inception, to be approximately $77,500, inclusive of projected cost through completion of the Demonstration Plant’s operation phase as discussed below. See Note 4 for additional details regarding the Demonstration Plant budget, DoE funding commitments, and the Cost Share Agreement.In December 2022, the Demonstration Plant achieved its final engineering design milestone, marking the DoE’s first go/no-go decision point. A second go/no-go gating milestone was achieved in December 2023 with the issuance by the DoE of a Project Continuation Notice, allowing for the construction of the Demonstration Plant.In September 2024, the DoE issued its final Project Continuation Notice following its approval of the revised project budget of $53,600 and confirmation of readiness for the operations phase of the Demonstration Plant. This notice, along with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (the “NRC”) operations approval under its previously issued license (received by the Company in October 2024), allowed for the commencement of Demonstration Plant operations.Early in 2025, the Company identified several design and equipment issues during the Demonstration Plant’s operational acceptance testing phase, which followed the completion of construction activities. After identifying these issues, the Company assumed full control of the management of the project and initiated a complete design review in April 2025, which identified further operational and safety concerns. The implementation of corrective actions and upgrades commenced immediately thereafter and continued into early 2026. As a result, Demonstration Plant operations did not formally commence until March 2026.The Company has incurred losses since its inception, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $47,141. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company consumed cash of $2,725 in its operating activities, primarily associated with the Demonstration Plant project activities and for the payment of the Company’s general and administrative expenses and other ongoing costs of sustaining its properties.The Company currently estimates that with (i) the net proceeds of approximately $30,478 from the 2026 Rights Offering, (ii) the funds on hand prior to the closing of the 2026 Rights Offering, and (iii) the funds it still expects to receive from the DoE and WEA, that it will have sufficient funds to complete the operations stage of the Demonstration Plant, as currently planned, and the licensing and permitting for the Bear Lodge REE Project. Longer-term, in the event the Company cannot secure additional financial resources or complete a strategic transaction, the Company may need to curtail or suspend the development and commercialization of its Bear Lodge REE Project or other initiatives, or potentially liquidate its business interests, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.

Loss per ShareLoss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. In March 2026, the Company completed the 2026 Rights Offering (see Note 7) whereby the Company offered existing shareholders the right to purchase additional common shares at $0.24 per share (the “Offer Price”). Because the Offer Price was significantly lower than the market trading price of the common shares at that time, the discounted Offer Price was considered a bonus element, similar to a stock dividend. As a result, the loss per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been adjusted retroactively to include the impact of the bonus element.

3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSU.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and establishes a fair-value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):<table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Times New

4. RELATED PARTYCost Share Agreement with General AtomicsIn January 2021, a consortium of companies, of which the Company is a part, received notice from the DoE that the consortium had been selected for negotiation of a potential financial award for the engineering, construction, and operation of the Demonstration Plant. This consortium of companies is led by General Atomics, an affiliate of Synchron (the Company’s majority shareholder). A formal proposal was submitted by the consortium in response to a published Funding Opportunity Announcement in mid-2020 for the construction and operation of the Demonstration Plant utilizing proprietary technology to produce commercial-grade products. Under this original proposal, the DoE’s share of the Demonstration Plant project funding was estimated at $21,900 and represented approximately one-half of the total originally estimated costs for the project. The DoE agreement was executed by the DoE’s grants/agreement officer on September 27, 2021, with an effective date of October 1, 2021. The DoE award was finalized through a cooperative agreement, dated October 1, 2021 (the “Cooperative Agreement”), that was awarded by the DoE for the Demonstration Plant. The Cooperative Agreement provided that up to approximately $43,800 in allowable costs for the Demonstration Plant were to be funded on a cost-share basis, 50% by the DoE and 50% by a non-federal entity. On November 30, 2021, the Company and General Atomics entered into a Cost Share Funding Assumption Agreement (the “Cost Share Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to assume and pay for the 50% of the non-federal funds incurred by, and on behalf of, General Atomics for the design, construction, and operation of the Demonstration Plant under the Cooperative Agreement. The Demonstration Plant will process already stockpiled high-grade sample materials from the Bear Lodge REE Project. On March 17, 2022, the Company executed a subcontract purchase order in the amount of $5,318 with General Atomics under which the Company agreed to provide certain services and materials to the Demonstration Plant project, including, but not limited to, providing the plant’s sample materials, engaging in site location leases and other logistics, providing operational support, and providing decommissioning, bonding and other Demonstration Plant support activities (the “Subcontract Purchase Order”). In connection with the Subcontract Purchase Order, the Company submitted monthly invoices to General Atomics for the subcontracted services performed, which were reimbursed by General Atomics with one-half of the funds coming from funds advanced by the Company under the Cost Share Agreement and, up to the original Demonstration Plant budget, one-half of the funds from the DoE.Due to inflationary cost pressures on labor, equipment, and consumables, as well as cost increases associated with certain optimized plant engineering and design parameters, General Atomics, on behalf of the consortium, submitted to the DoE an updated Demonstration Plant project budget of approximately $53,600, which was approximately 22% higher than the original budget of approximately $43,800. In response, the DoE pledged an additional cost-share funding commitment of $2,400 to fund a portion of the budget increase, with the balance coming from the Company, including any amounts in excess of the $53,600 revised budget total. The Company currently estimates the total cost of the Demonstration Plant, from inception, to be approximately $77,500, inclusive of cost estimates through completion of the Demonstration Plant’s operations phase. On May 16, 2024, the Company and General Atomics entered into an extension agreement to the Cost Share Agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) under which the Company agreed to make additional cash advances, of up to $2,500, to General Atomics while the parties progressed an amended project funding agreement covering the Company’s share of the additional non-federal project funding needed for the project’s completion. Pursuant to the terms of the Cost Share Agreement and Extension Agreement, the Company had advanced payments to General Atomics, as leader of the consortium, totaling $24,200 through October 31, 2024, the maximum amount of advances authorized under these agreements. In November 2024, General Atomics subsequently returned approximately $3,811 of the amounts previously funded by the Company under the Cost Share Agreement, which were used by the Company, in part, to make payments to certain other contractors for work under the Cost Share Agreement. The payments to these other contractors, all made in November 2024 and on General Atomics’ behalf, totaled to $4,746. In September 2025, at the Company’s request, General Atomics and the Company formally requested a novation of the financial assistance agreement between General Atomics and the DoE, under which General Atomics’ interests under the agreement would be transferred to the Company. The novation process, which is underway and is expected to be completed during 2026, will not change the intellectual property rights held by Synchron and its affiliates in the Company’s intellectual property. Once the novation process is complete, the Company will be named the recipient of the award under the agreement and certain conditions are expected to be confirmed, including the potential for additional DoE funding for further advancements of the Demonstration Plant under an amended or separate financial assistance agreement. The DoE has allowed the novation process to progress even though the financial assistance agreement’s term expired on September 30, 2025. If a novation is not completed, the DoE award to General Atomics could be terminated, and final disposition of the assets and decommissioning activities would be negotiated with the DoE. Although the Company expects the novation process to be completed in 2026, there is no assurance of the process progressing in a timely manner or being completed at all. Since inception, the Company has (i) advanced $20,389 in funds to General Atomics under the Cost Share Agreement, (ii) paid an additional $4,746 on General Atomics’ behalf to certain contractors for work performed under the Cost Share Agreement and (iii) paid directly another $13,908 in Demonstration Plant project costs. Inclusive of all amounts incurred since project inception, a total of $59,498 has been expended by the Company on the Demonstration Plant through March 31, 2026.The following table summarizes the related party receivable activity with General Atomics for reimbursable costs incurred by the Company under the Cost Share Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2026:<table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:16pt;height:max-content;padding-left:0pt;padding-right:0pt;width:100%;"><tr style="height:1pt;"><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:76.89%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"><div style="height:1pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;position:relative;"><div style="bottom:0pt;position:absolute;width:100%;"></div></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.08%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"><div style="height:1pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;position:relative;"><div style="bottom:0pt;position:absolute;width:100%;"></div></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:1.91%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"><div style="height:1pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;position:relative;"><div style="bottom:0pt;position:absolute;width:100%;"></div></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:18.1%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"><div style="height:1pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;position:relative;"><div style="bottom:0pt;position:absolute;width:100%;"></div></div></td></tr><tr style=""><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:76.89%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">Balance of receivables due from General Atomics at beginning of period</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.08%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:1.91%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">$</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:18.1%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"> 1,614</td></tr><tr style=""><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:76.89%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">Reimbursable costs invoiced by the Company during the period</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.08%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:1.91%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:18.1%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"> 663</td></tr><tr style=""><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:76.89%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">Balance of receivables due from General Atomics at end of period</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.08%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:1.91%;background:#cceeff;border-bottom:3px double #000000;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">$</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:18.1%;background:#cceeff;border-bottom:3px double #000000;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"> 2,277</td></tr></table>

5. WYOMING ENERGY AUTHORITY GRANT In June 2023, the Company, and the WEA entered into a Funding Agreement (the “WEA Funding Agreement”) pursuant to which the WEA agreed to fund, subject to certain conditions, a $4,400 grant to the Company, the proceeds of which are to be used for the Demonstration Plant. Pursuant to the WEA Funding Agreement, the grant is to be paid upon the WEA’s receipt of invoices from the Company detailing its actual expenses relating to the Demonstration Plant (half of which funds will be allocated to two milestone periods during the development process), less a 10% retainer, the payment of which is conditioned upon the WEA’s receipt, following the commencement of the Demonstration Plant’s operations, of an invoice and the Company’s final executive summary report in a form to be approved by the WEA. Pursuant to the WEA Funding Agreement, the funding for the Demonstration Plant will be provided to the WEA from the Energy Resources Council (the “ERC”) and is further conditioned upon the availability of government funds that are appropriated or allocated for the payment of the grant and which may be limited for any reason, including congressional, legislative, gubernatorial, or administration action.The WEA Funding Agreement will terminate when the funding has been fully disbursed, but no later than June 30, 2026, unless terminated sooner by either party in accordance with the terms of the WEA Funding Agreement. The WEA Funding Agreement may be terminated (i) by either party if the WEA does not receive the requested funding from the ERC or if the grant funds are not allocated or available for the continued performance of the WEA Funding Agreement, or (ii) by the WEA immediately for cause if the Company fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the WEA Funding Agreement.As of December 31, 2023, the Company had met the conditions allowing for the invoicing of $2,000 of the $4,400 WEA grant total. This $2,000 was subsequently received on January 31, 2024. By September 30, 2024, the Company had met the conditions allowing for the invoicing of an additional $2,000, which was subsequently received in November 2024. The remaining $400 of the $4,400 grant total, which is conditioned on the achievement of other, future milestones, will be invoiced to the WEA once those final milestones have been achieved, which are currently expected to occur in mid-2026.

6. LEASESEffective September 21, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Property Lease”) for real property, including land and buildings in Upton, Wyoming for the Demonstration Plant. The Property Lease, which had an initial 12-month term, allows for annual renewals, which at the Company’s option can be renewed for as long as the facility is needed. In June 2025, the Property Lease was renewed, extending the termination date to September 30, 2026 and another 12-month extension is expected in June 2026 extending the lease through September 30, 2027. The Property Lease, which is classified as an operating lease, generally provides for base rent, and requires the Company to pay all insurance, personal property taxes on any structure or improvements made by the Company and other maintenance costs. The Property Lease provides for an annual cost of living adjustment but contains no residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the Property Lease, the Company is obligated to remove certain Company completed property improvements, though those items requiring removal, if any, will be confirmed with the lessor prior to the termination of the Property Lease.For purposes of the following table, payments under the Property Lease are assumed to run through September 30, 2027. If the completion of the Demonstration Plant operations dictates further extensions beyond this date, the Company may extend the term of the Property Lease. Total future minimum lease payments under the Property Lease as of March 31, 2026, were as follows:<table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:16pt;height:max-content;padding-left:0pt;padding-right:0pt;width:100%;"><tr style="height:1pt;"><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:69.81%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"><div style="height:1pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;position:relative;"><div style="bottom:0pt;position:absolute;width:100%;"></div></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.94%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"><div style="height:1pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;position:relative;"><div style="bottom:0pt;position:absolute;width:100%;"></div></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:4.72%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"><div style="height:1pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;position:relative;"><div style="bottom:0pt;position:absolute;width:100%;"></div></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:21.51%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"><div style="height:1pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;position:relative;"><div style="bottom:0pt;position:absolute;width:100%;"></div></div></td></tr><tr style=""><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:69.81%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">2026</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.94%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:4.72%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">$</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:21.51%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">101</td></tr><tr style=""><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:69.81%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">2027</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.94%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:4.72%;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:21.51%;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">101</td></tr><tr style=""><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:69.81%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">Total lease payments</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.94%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:4.72%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:21.51%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">202</td></tr><tr style=""><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:69.81%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">Less interest</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.94%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:4.72%;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:21.51%;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"> (16)</td></tr><tr style=""><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:69.81%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">Present value of lease payments(1)</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:3.94%;background:#cceeff;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;"></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:4.72%;background:#cceeff;border-bottom:3px double #000000;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">$</td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;white-space:nowrap;width:21.51%;background:#cceeff;border-bottom:3px double #000000;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;">186</td></tr></table>(1) As of March 31, 2026, $149 was included in current liabilities and $37 was included in non-current liabilities.

Terms of the 2026 Rights Offering included the issuance of twenty-five hundredths (or 0.25) of a subscription right for each common share owned by each holder on the record date, with each subscription right entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a subscription price of $0.24 per share (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”). For any holder exercising its Basic Subscription Privilege in full, the holder could also exercise an oversubscription privilege to purchase additional common shares that were unsubscribed for at the expiration of the 2026 Rights Offering, subject to availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising the oversubscription privilege. The 2026 Rights Offering, which generated $30,478 in net proceeds after deducting $490 in transactions costs, resulted in the issuance of 129,033,678 common shares of the Company.The net proceeds from the 2026 Rights Offering will be used to support (i) the continued operation of the Demonstration Plant; (ii) the advancement of projects for the as-constructed Demonstration Plant beyond the current neodymium/praseodymium (Nd/Pr) separation objectives, including applying the technology to the separation of heavy REEs (“HREEs”) and to third-party feed sources; (iii) the completion of federal and state permitting and licensing for the Bear Lodge REE Project; and (iv) for other general corporate purposes.Loss per ShareAfter adjustment for the bonus element included in the 2026 Rights Offering (see Note 2), the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the Company’s loss per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased from 553,548,886 shares to 623,924,888 shares and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 516,114,475 shares to 586,505,290 shares.
