Corporate Disclaimer Some of the statements contained in the following material may be "forward-looking statements." All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that Tasman Metals Ltd. (“Tasman”) believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek," "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and statements that an event or result "may," "will," "can," "should," "could," or "might" occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of Tasman based on information currently available to Tasman. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of Tasman to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on Tasman. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, failure to successfully complete intended financings, capital and other costs varying significantly from estimates, production rates varying from estimates, changes in world metal markets, changes in equity markets, changes in laws or regulations, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, equipment failure, unexpected geological conditions, imprecision in resource estimates, success of future development initiatives, competition, operating performance of facilities, environmental and safety risks, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals from government authorities, and other development and operating risks. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Tasman disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Mineral Resources and Reserves: In this presentation, the definitions of “mineral resources” are those used by the Canadian securities administrators and conform to the definitions utilized by CIM in the “CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves – Definitions and Guidelines” adopted on August 20, 2000 and amended December 11, 2005. The standards employed in estimating the mineral resources referenced in this presentation differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the resource information reported may not be comparable to similar information reported by United States companies. The term “resources” does not equate to “reserves” and normally may not be included in documents filed with the SEC. “Resources” are sometimes referred to as “mineralization” or “mineral deposits.” While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. The terms “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as may be amended from time to time by the CIM. These definitions differ from the definitions in the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the Securities Act of 1933. As such, information contained in this presentation concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies in SEC filings. The estimation of measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned (i) not to assume that measured or indicated resources will be converted into reserves and (ii) not to assume that estimates of inferred mineral resources exist, are economically minable, or will be upgraded into measured or indicated mineral resources. It cannot be assumed that the Company will identify any viable mineral resources on its properties or that any mineral reserves, if any, can be recovered profitably, if at all.

Tasman’s Corporate Vision “To provide the foundation to a long lived and sustainable European rare earth element supply chain” REE’s provide the ideal material properties for modern society …..… Efficiency enhancement Weight reduction Access to E - mobility Emission reduction Miniaturisation Durability Performance ..….. a European supply chain will be sustainable, secure and have a low environmental impact, so REE’s can be engineered for generations to come.

REE’s – What Are They ? Rare Earth Elements (REE’s) are 15 metals that occur naturally in the environment ; They have unique chemical characteristics that place them in demand for green technology, energy efficiency and medical applications ; 97% of REE supply is currently from Chinese mines ; REE’s are often classed as HEAVY or LIGHT based on chemical characteristics ; HEAVY and LIGHT REE’s have markedly different prices due to availability, cost of production and demand ; REE’s do not occur in nature in same ratio they are consumed. There is no one single market for all REE’s ; RE - Oxide REO Price ($/kg) Light REO Lanthanum (La) $ 8 Cerium (Ce) Praseodymium (Pr) $ 75 Neodymium (Nd) $ 70 Samarium (Sm) $ 20 Heavy REO Europium (Eu) $ 1200 Gadolinium (Gd) $ 49 Terbium (Tb) $ 1100 Dysprosium (Dy) $ 600 Holmium (Ho) N.A. Erbium (Er) Thulium (Tm) Ytterbium (Yb) Lutetium (Lu) Yttrium (Y) $ 28 Source: Metals Pages, May 2013

Determining What is Critical In 2011, US Department of Energy researched supply risks for metals essential to clean energy; The HEAVY REE’s Dy, Tb, Eu and Y, and the LIGHT REE Nd were determined to be at serious supply risk for next 15 years ; Dy, Tb, Eu, Y and Nd are described as the Critical Rare Earths due to restricted supply and low substitution potential. These metals may become unavailable to western industry, regardless of price ; The critical nature of HEAVY REE supply has arisen due to strong consumption growth and a generation of under investment in mineral exploration ; The “barrier to entry” for REE miners/suppliers is significant due to processing and market risks ; Importance to clean energy Supply risk Importance to clean energy Supply risk

REE Price History 2010 - 2013 “REE prices will stabilize, reflecting a “new REE paradigm”. This new paradigm shall be based on industrially acceptable pricing, and incorporate the environmental costs of the Chinese REE industry, whilst placing value on a secure REE supply chain.” Source: Metals Pages, 2013 Long Term $2 - 8 Long Term $60 - 100 Long Term $20 - 50 Long Term $600 - 800 Heavy REE pricing is stabilizing at 100 – 300% above 2010 prices. No Western world supply anticipated before 2016 ; Light REE pricing is stabilizing at lower levels, due in part to stable supply from Lynas Corp (11,000 tpa) and Molycorp (19,050 tpa) ; The price peak/scare of 2011 was short-lived, when consumers relied upon stockpiles. Some permanent Ce and La market was lost due to a greater investment in REE recycling in the glass polishing industries ;

Application of REE Permanent Magnets Jack Lifton, REE Industry Commentator : “Norra Karr is the most important deposit in the western world for permanent magnets” Hard Drives Automotive Wind Turbines Air Conditioning Cellular Phones Domestic Medical Power Aeronautical 10 – 30 g REE magnets per unit 500 -1000 kg REE magnets per unit Long term low cost supply has lead to the intensive use of REE magnets

REE Permanent Magnet Market REE Permanent Magnet Market Growth – Historical and Forecast US$8.6 b US$17.0 b Source: US Magnet Materials Association, Roskill, Bernecki et al 2010, IMCOA Tonnes REE Magnets 2012 REE permanent magnet production was some 70,000 tonnes, consuming approximately 22,500 tonnes of REO ; 96% of the market is NdFeB magnets, with 0 – 9% Dy content depending on application ; 3% of the market is SmCo magnets, for high temperature applications; 1% of the market is SmFeN magnets, for bonded applications ; REE permanent magnet growth is forecast at 7 - 10% per year ; Ferric magnet market remains 10 x larger by weight than REE magnet market, but less than half the value ;

Magnet Use Growing 10% Per Year REE Permanent magnets “made their market”. Commercialization and price stability has lead to rapid uptake ; Principal traditional markets include: hard drives and CD/DVD drives, automotive applications, electric bicycles, wind turbines, MRI machines ; Chinese production and consumption remain critical due to strong involvement in raw material supply and magnet technology ; Near tear market drivers dominated by existing consumer technologies. +2016 market drivers are dominated by e- mobility and hybrid vehicle uptake, and further adoption of wind energy ; Source: Roskill,, 2012 Wind Turbine Adoption Stable pricing of rare earth elements is considered key to the greater penetration of permanent magnets. ; Access to dysprosium is seen a critical to many emerging magnet applications. technologies. Dysprosium allows REE permanent magnets to operate at higher temperatures without de-magnetization ; Hybrid vehicles and wind turbines are large consumers of Dy-bearing magnets with between 9% and 4% average Dy. Wind turbine installation has grown at 36% in the past decade, with 60% of turbines now permanent magnet bearing. 2012 consumption of Dy-oxide approximated 1,500 tonnes. Wind turbine forecasts alone require an additional 850 tonnes of Dy-oxide pa by 2020 Tasman’s Norra Karr project can supply 20% of the current Dy demand for more than 50 years ; Magnet Bearing Units Installed - Units Magnet Demand - Tonnes Source: JLMag REE Co, November 2012

REE – A Complex Landscape Confused discussion over Heavy vs Light vs Critical REE’s ; Small market with significant stockpiling ; Opaque pricing causing seemingly volatile pricing ; Chinese “overhang”, what shall they do next…? ; Not commodities, not interchangeable ; Higher technology risk than the rest of mining industry ; No Western “working model” of processing ; Supply can appear 5 x in excess of demand ; Fear of another REE “bubble” ; Lack of discrimination of “real” projects. Comments surrounding “Rare Earths aren't Rare” couldn’t be more wrong ; Market strength lies with the consumers therefore revenue not equally distributed along the supply chain ; Market is highly asymmetric – small emerging Western companies vs Chinese State Enterprises ; Little recognition beyond China/Japan/Korea that “Supply Chain Security” has both a value and a cost ; Over estimates of the role recycling can play and its true energy cost ; Major projects are owned by junior mining companies with no cash flow – creates a significant financing hurdle to proceed ; “When the critical metals are considered, non-Chinese industry does not have secure access to the materials it needs, regardless of price”

Steps to REE Production Stage Comment 1 Discovery and Drill Out Many REE-bearing prospects and occurrences are known world wide Few proceed past surface prospecting and warrant the investment of drilling 2 Understand the Deposit Mineralogy More than 200 minerals are known to host REE’s. Commercial extraction is impossible for most REE’s in only one or two minerals is preferred, as the subsequent process flow sheet is simplified 3 Resource Calculation Once the discovery is confirmed, extensive drilling is required for NI43-101 or JORC standard resource calculation. Independent professional review is essential 4 Preliminary Economic Assessment (+/- 30%) Once resource calculation and bench scale metallurgical characterisation is complete, a PEA may be completed for the project The PEA tests the project viability and justifies future investment decisions The opacity of REE pricing ensures a large variation in financial models 5 Pilot Plant Metallurgy Metallurgical testing must increase in scale, to refine flowsheet and produce “near final” product 6 Pre-Feasibility Study Once the resource has been upgraded to Measured + Indicated and metallurgical testing scaled up, a PFS may be completed on the project The PFS captures more robust capital and operating cost information, and provides a more robust view of project economics Technical, engineering, legal, social and environmental impacts need to be considered 7 Strategic Partnership & Off-Take Industrial and financial partners need to receive REE-product to determine value Partnerships and off take agreements are key to the success of the project 8 Bankable Feasibility Study A BFS is required to justify the final investment decision, and must be based on full technical, legal and commercial data to a high standard BFA shall incorporate metallurgical optimisation data, and reserve-stage deposit information 9 Permit Application A wealth of data is required. Environmental and social impact statements must show adverse impact is small and can be managed, and the project is of benefit to the jurisdiction 10 Financing Debt and equity financing of the project must be sought, often in conjunction with industrial partners 11 Engineering, Procurement, Construction As REE projects are sophisticated, skilled EPC consultants are essential to ensure the project is successful Construction is envisaged to take 1 – 3 years 12 First Production Production scales up over time as the project is commissioned

Norra Kärr : Very Low Radioactivity “Tasman’s Norra Karr project is unusually low in radioactivity, well below even the level of agricultural fertilizer sold in Sweden. The rock is clean enough to be considered for domestic building materials. By-product markets are being considered.” IAEA “Usually Unnecessary to Regulate” = < 1 Bq/g Swedish Fertilizer = 0.7 Bq/g Alum Shale = >1.6 Bq/g Norra Karr = 0.2 Bq/g Becquerel per Gram

Standing out from the Crowd Canadian company focused on “high-tech” metals in particular Rare Earth Elements (REE) in Europe ; Tasman owns 100% of the only NI43-101 REE resources within the European Union ; Flagship project is Norra Karr. 4th largest heavy REE deposit in the world. One of the highest percentage of HREE to TREE at over 50%. Will supply 300 tonnes of dysprosium oxide and 2000 tonnes of yttrium oxide annually; Secondary project is Olserum, with a simple mineralogy supporting a well established flow sheet ; Projects have excellent on site infrastructure with power, roads and water on site as well as rail within 20km. Sweden is a mining country ; Norra Karr has a 40 year mine life or more. Deposit remains open at depth. Recently published very positive PEA – NPV of $1.5 billion with conservative metal pricing ; Norra Karr gives Europe the opportunity to be the leader in HREE from 2016 ;
