TORONTO, May 3, 2012 — Innovation Metals Corp. ("IMC"), developers of the world's first independent, centralized rare-earth element separation facilities, today announced the debut of two new local-language websites for Chinese and Japanese audiences.
The Chinese-language website can be found at http://www.innovationmetals.com/zh-hans, and the Japanese-language site at http://www.innovationmetals.com/ja. The localized websites can also be accessed via language selectors on each page of IMC's main website at http://www.innovationmetals.com.
"The majority of the world's demand for rare earths comes from the Chinese and Japanese markets," said Patrick Wong, CEO of IMC. "We felt it important that we be able to communicate our vision and strategy directly to end-users of rare earths and other interested parties in China and Japan."
"The current issues faced by the rare-earth supply chain are global in nature," commented Gareth Hatch, President of IMC. "In addition to working with industry participants in North America, where we plan to build our heavy-rare-earth separation facility, we anticipate working with producers, end-users and government stockpile managers in Asia and in Europe as well."
Additional local-language websites are planned for launch later in 2012.
