CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORSThe United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits United States mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. Our Round Top Rare Earth-Beryllium-Uranium project currently does not contain any known proven or probable ore reserves under SEC reporting standards. Our reference in this presentation to the metric tons of Rhyolite contained at the Round Top project is a reference only to potential in-place tonnage and our references in this presentation to quantities of rare earth oxides contained at the Round Top project are references only to estimated in-place quantities of mineralized material based on the potential quantity of host rock and current assay results from drill data. U.S. Investors are cautioned not to assume that these amounts reflect economically and legally recoverable quantities of rare earth minerals.  We use certain terms in this presentation such as “mineral resource” and “geologic resource” which the SEC guidelines generally prohibit United States companies from including in their filings with the SEC. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC reporting standards as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. U.S. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into SEC compliant reserves.  We also reference in this presentation a historical “reserve” estimate. This estimate does not refer to proven or probable ore reserves under SEC reporting standards. Under SEC reporting standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our latest reports and registration statements filed with the SEC, which may be secured from us, or from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that Texas Rare Earth Resources expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as the potential development of the Round Top Rare Earth-Beryllium-Uranium project, estimates of mineralized material, the potential positioning of the Company to be a leading, global low-cost producer of rare earth minerals, the potential ratio of heavy to total rare earth minerals present at the Round Top project, the number of metric tons of Rhyolite contained at the Round Top project, the potential market for rare earth minerals, the potential in-place quantity of mineralized material of specific rare earth minerals, and other such similar matters are forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, the words “potential,” “indicate,” “expect,” “intend,” “hopes,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “if, “anticipate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Texas Rare Earth Resources to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such factors include, among others, uncertainty of mineralized material estimates, risks relating to completing drilling and metallurgical testing at the Round Top project, risks related to project development determinations, risks related to fluctuations in the price of rare earth minerals, the inherently hazardous nature of mining-related activities, potential effects on Texas Rare Earth Resource’s operations of environmental regulations, risks due to legal proceedings, risks related to uncertainty of being able to raise capital on favorable terms or at all, as well as those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Texas Rare Earth Resource’s latest annual report on Form 10-K as filed on February 8, 2011, as amended, April 19, 2011, and other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Although Texas Rare Earth Resources has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

CRITICAL NATURE OF RARE EARTHS…

China’s handling of this issue poses

a threat to both the economic

security as well as the national

security of the United States.”

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE REE MARKET

8

China controls 100% of Heavy Rare Earth production, and > 95% of Light Rare Earth production

China has signi!cantly lowered both production and export quotas, restricting supply to the world

Rare Earths projects outside of China that are at, or near production, are primarily focused on LREEs

Industry data indicates China will be a net importer of REEs in 3-5 years

BERYLLIUM AND URANIUM

Beryllium and Uranium occur at lower contact of Rhyolite

In 1988, Cyprus Minerals performed extensive development drilling, underground exploration, trial mining and process design resulting in a feasibility study

This historic feasibility study performed by Cyprus Minerals established a mineral resource of 11 million pounds of Beryllium Oxide at a diluted grade of 1.9%*/**

In 2008, TRER found 1.09% Uranium value in the mine heading

* See Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

** This is a historical feasibility study and the “reserve” does not constitute a Guide 7 proven or probable reserve.

FOOTNOTES

1. 1.6 billion potential tonnes/65,000 tonnes mined per day = approximately 65 years potential mine life.

2. The quantities of metal oxides presented represent in-place kilograms and are based upon a report published by the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology personnel and others (this technical paper is available upon request), as well as assay information set forth in previously disseminated press releases (copies of which are set forth on our website). These quantities re!ect potential in-place mineralized material only and do not re!ect estimated economically and legally recoverable quantities. See Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors.

3. Prices per kg found on various metal pricing websites including www.metal-pages.com. There can be no assurance that these prices will re!ect future prices or the price that we may achieve from any such sales.
