RCR March Quarter Featured Company Summary


AUSTRALIA
Company Code Comment
Alliance Resources Limited AGS Advanced Exploration
Uranium production at the 32mlb U3O8 Four Mile Project (AGS 25%) is possible in January
2010, at initial 3mlbspa – environmental and mine permits are pending. Independent
scoping study and resource upgrades expected 2Q09. Exploration target 50kt U3O8
(109mlbs).
Aura Energy Limited AEE Advanced Exploration
At the Storsjön Project (Alum Shale, Sweden), AEE has a resource target of 330mlbs-
1,200mlbs U3O8. It is advancing uranium projects in Australia and West Africa, with
promising grassroots exploration results from Mauritania. CY09 exploration majority funded
by JV partners.

Berkeley Resources Limited BKY Feasibility Study


BKY awaits Spanish Government approval of its Dec '08 JV deal with ENUSA, which has a
uranium mill at Salamanca and State Reserve historic uranium resources – target 75mlbs
U3O8. Completed Bankable Feasibility Study expected within 18 months of approval.

Black Range Minerals Limited BLR Scoping


A new agreement between BLR and Uranium One (TSX:UUU) could see joint development
of the Taylor Ranch and Hansen uranium deposits. Taylor Ranch high-grade zones total
23.5mlbs U3O8 (at 0.12%) - resource expansion expected 1Q09.

Deep Yellow Limited DYL Advanced Exploration


Cashed up DYL is on track for a 100mlb U3O8 resource in Namibia by mid 2009 (current
46mlb), and producing encouraging results from Mt Isa (QLD) U3O8 exploration. Shares
look undervalued with target A$0.30/share if Namibian resources valued at modest
~US$1.50/lb.

Energy and Minerals Australia Limited EMA Resource Definition


Initial JORC resource for the Mulga Rock Deposits (Jan '09) is 54.4mlbs U3O8, including
24.1mlbs grading 0.1%. Infill drilling will continue through 2009, with a scoping study, met.
results, Ni-Co resource and expanded U resource all expected in 4Q09-1Q10.

Energy Metals Limited EME Advanced Exploration


Bigrlyi (NT) revised resource expected April '09. 4Q08 drill results include 5m @ 0.48%
U3O8, 0.48% V2O5 (from 80m) and 6m @ 0.26% U3O8, 0.79% V2O5 (from 37m). PFS
expected 3Q09. Cappers (NT) initial drilling 4Q08 (500m) confirms shallow, widespread
uranium over 5km strike.

Energy Resources of Australia Limited ERA Producer


Significant resource expansion at Ranger announced (Jan '09) - up 128% to 115kt U3O8 on
lower cut-off (0.02% U3O8) and Ranger 3 Deeps (34kt U3O8). ERA continues to explore
and evaluate opportunities to expand, extend and accelerate output. Final year end dividend
A$0.20/share.

Extract Resources Limited EXT Advanced exploration


EXT has been a standout sharemarket performer with its stock up by >200% since the
announcement (Jan '09) of a 108mlb U3O8 resource at Rossing South Zone 1. With total
resources of ~250mlb expected by 3Q09, and RIO now holding 15.5% the shares still look
undervalued.

Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited GGG Advanced exploration


A Pre-Feasibility Study is under way at the Kvanefjeld uranium and rare earths deposit in
Greenland, results expected from late 3Q09, including mine plan and process flow sheet.
JORC resource 223mlb U3O8 and 2.6mt REO, upgrade scheduled for 2Q09.

Paladin Energy Limited PDN Producer


PDN is integrating the stage II expansion at Langer Heinrich taking production to 3.7mlbspa
U3O8 (from 2.6mlbs); and expects first production from Kayelekera March '09 (3.3mlbspa
U3O8). Solid project pipeline: Skal resource upgrade expected March '09; Mt Isa PFS April
'09.

AUSTRALIA (cont.)
Company Code Comment
Toro Energy Limited TOE Advanced Exploration/Resource Definition/PFS
The 3Q09 release of an optimisation study for the Wiluna (WA) calcrete project (24mlb
resource) and an imminent scoping study for Napperby (NT) - on track for 13mlb resource -
will be crucial to changing a sceptical market overly influenced by short term spot price
trends.

Uran Limited URA Mid-Advanced Exploration


URA targets uranium deposits in or near areas of historic production. The underexplored
Grants Ridge Project (New Mexico) includes previously mined high-grade mineralisation, in
a district that has yielded >340mlbs U3O8. Sampling under way, drilling 2-3Q09.

Uranex NL UNX Advanced Exploration


UNX is currently focused on completing the Manyoni PFS (Tanzania) - expected 4Q09. The
project, while low grade (15mlbs U3O8 @ 0.015%) is near surface with good regional
infrastructure. Resource upgrade expected 2Q09. Thatcher Soak (WA) scoping study
expected 1H09.

White Canyon Uranium Limited WCU Development


WCU is on the verge of underground uranium production at Daneros (Utah) – high grade
core >0.2ft.% U3O8. Mine permit expected Apr '09, first ore sales to Blanding Mill (Denison)
possible in late 2Q09. Combined project target 10mlbs U3O8.

Investment Points Company Comment


The company's main project is a 25% stake in the Four Mile Overview: AGS changed its name in Oct '03 from Alliance Energy Limited (listed ASX 1994). The company
has a 25% interest in the near-production Four Mile Uranium Project (SA, Quasar – 75%). It also has gold
advanced uranium project in SA, adjacent to the Beverley assets in Victoria and an exploration projects in SA and western NSW.
ISR uranium mine. Four Mile Project (SA): Situated 8km from the existing Beverley ISR uranium mine, operated by Quasar, an
affiliate of Heathgate Resources. The prospect consists of two tabular sandstone uranium mineralised areas,
Inferred JORC resource at Four Mile West (FMW) is 32mlbs 1-8m thick at a depth of ~150-210m. Current JORC inferred resource, for Four Mile West (FMW), is 3.9mt @
0.37% for 15kt (32mlbs) U3O8. There is a JORC qualifying Exploration Target Range at Four Mile East (FME)
grading 0.37% U3O8. Upgrade expected 2Q09 along with 2
of 14-22kt (30-47mlbs) U3O8 grading 0.2-0.3%. Known mineralisation covers 2.9km at GT contour >0.15m%
initial Four Mile East (FME) resource. U3O8. Total project resource target is 50kt (109mlbs) U3O8. An internal Quasar/Heathgate feasibility study
(Sep ’08) included a non-JORC resource estimate for FME and showed it is amenable to ISR. Quasar’s
Independent scoping study expected 2Q09 to verify internal permeability studies and process refinements are ongoing. A decision to mine at FME was made by Quasar in
Sep ’08, after which AGS (previously free carried) started pro rata contributions to JV funding. Environmental
feasibility study of JV partner Quasar Resources Pty Ltd. approvals and a Mining Permit are pending. An independent Scoping Study, commissioned by AGS to verify
project viability is expected 2Q09 (subject to data disclosure by Quasar), as are an initial JORC resource for
FME production planned Jan '10 at 3mlbspa U3O8 after ramp- Four Mile East and an upgrade for Four Mile West. If approvals are granted, construction will progress
through 2009; first production is planned for Jan ‘10. Initial capex ~A$90m (AGS A$22.5m), including a
up, opex US$25/lb, project development A$90m incl. remote
satellite RIX plant. Downstream processing could be at nearby Beverley. Quasar has already spent $40m on
ion exchange plant (RIX). Mine permit pending. the project. Expected recoveries ~70% (and as high as ~89%). Opex is ~ US$25/lb U3O8 for the planned
3mlbspa production. Potential to increase rate if initial production targets are achieved. The JV’s ongoing
AGS will require capital raising to fund A$22.5m share of exploration budget for the whole 1248km2 tenement package (plus 150km2 application) could be ~A$3-4m in
development; cash Mar 09F A$12.3m, no debt. each of 2009 and 2010; AGS is free carried outside the immediate Four Mile project area.
Maldon (Au; Vic): 30km SW of Bendigo, the Alliance South reef system was discovered in 1997. AGS
tenements cover the majority of the Maldon Goldfield with historic gold production to 1926 of 1.7moz grading
Maldon (VIC) gold project on care and maintenance. 28g/t. Potential production 20kozpa Au through existing CIL plant. The project has been prepared for
underground trial mining but was placed on care and maintenance in Nov ’08 to conserve cash for Four Mile.
Warrina (Au; SA): Gawler Craton. IOCGU exploration targets with coincident magnetic and gravity
anomalies. Previous drilling has found Cu to 0.17% from 475-486m, and magnetite-rich host rocks with minor
AGS - Alliance Resources Limited brecciation and haematite-carbonate alteration. Assay results from 4Q08 core samples expected in 2Q09.

East Lake Frome (Au,Cu, base metals; NSW): 1,038km , located north west of Broken Hill in NSW.
1.60 Exploration in 2009 could include drilling based on a 4Q08 regional gravity survey.
Investment Comment: The process route and economic potential of the Four Mile project have been largely
1.40 established and uranium production in 1Q10 appears likely, if a mining permit is granted. Alliance will require
a capital raising, probably by equity placement, to fund its A$22.5m share of initial capex. We calculate NPV
Share Price ($/Share)

1.20
for AGS to be A$140m based on the current Four Mile resource and 3mlbs/yr U3O8 production at the current
1.00 spot price (US$42.5/lb), rising to A$214m at a hypothetical 4mlbs/yr and with exploration upside to 50kt U3O8.
Our mid-term share price target for AGS, based on the latter, is A$0.80. If AGS gains independent marketing
0.80 rights to its 25% of uranium and can establish an offtake agreement at long-term contract prices (currently
0.60
US$70/lb U3O8), the share price could move upwards of A$1.10.

Investment Comment:. With market cap approaching A$1bn, EXT has recently been added to the ASX

opportunity to potentially more than double its ~US$20bn Rossing uranium reserves? Current EXT price

Share Price ($/Share)

values the potential resource at US$2.30/lb (200mlb) or US$1.50/lb (300mlb), which would be a steal for
3.50 RIO. Given the FSY takeout at US$7.50/lb, EXT (with RIO accumulating) looks very undervalued. Our 6
3.00 month target (anticipating Zone 2 JORC statement) is A$5.00-A$5.50/share (~US$3/lb valuation). 12
months could see A$7.00. Still an excellent risk/reward investment despite recent huge gains.

Overview: TOE listed on the ASX in March 2006 and is now the pacesetter in advancing calcrete style
100% uranium focus. Expl. + eval. budget A$6m pa, cash
uranium projects in Australia, with one at PFS stage and the other the subject of a scoping study.
A$9m. Potential production 2012 (2 projects). Wiluna Uranium (WA): Lake Way and Centipede uranium deposits TOE’s most advanced project.
Wiluna PFS: The GRD Minproc PFS was released in Sep ‘08. and reviewed in our Dec Quarter Report.
Most advanced is Wiluna project (WA) - 24mlb JORC The PFS Option D assumed 1.5mtpa, ore grade 503ppm (through grade control), total ore processed
resource (target 28mlb) - PFS completed 4Q08. 16.3mt for 15.1mlb production over a 12 year mine life. Capex A$247m, opex US$39/lb, base case
project NPV @ 12.3% (nominal) an uninspiring A$78m, using long term U3O8 price of US$80/lb and
A$/US$ of 0.75. Project NPV is highly sensitive to grade and long term U3O8 price. Two processing
Critical Wiluna optimisation study (due 3Q09) for enhanced options are being considered in the current Optimisation Study (OS) to enhance project economics. The
economics, BFS to start 4Q09. OS will focus on mined head grade improvements (PFS indicates +30-40% is possible), improved
recoveries and process optimisation, complete mid 2009, then BFS to commence, with possible
production late 2012. Further resource drilling will target 28mlbs U3O8 (resource upgrade 2Q09).
Japanese utilities proposed vend-in to analagous Lake Lake Maitland (“LM”) Transaction: In Feb ‘09 Mega Uranium Ltd (TSX:MGA) announced a MOU to
Maitland (WA) is positive for calcrete projects. sell 35% of the LM project to Japanese power utilities and Itochu for US$49m. This has strong
significance to TOE - LM is a similar surficial calcrete deposit to Wiluna (~90km from TOE’s project),
Resource drilling at Napperby, NT (13,000m 2008). JORC similar total resource (23.7mlb) and similar grades. The proposed transaction values LM at US$140m
(A$212m) or US$5.90/lb for existing resource. Underpins long term value of these energy projects.
resource 7.4mlb, on track for 13mlb.
Napperby Project (NT): 150km NW of Alice Springs, TOE recently announced a more than doubling of
the JORC inferred resource to 7.4mlb U3O8 over ~7km strike of a total 14km. Importantly, the revised
Napperby scoping study complete end 1Q09. resource grades are 359ppm, up from 305ppm in Jul 08. This puts TOE on track to confirm the 13.2mlb
non JORC historic resource (Uranerz) over the 14km strike length. The calcrete hosted deposit is near
Active exploration pipeline in well positioned surface (<8m depth), easily mined, low strip ratio. Next key step is the imminent release of the Napperby
scoping study (late Mar 09). Option payment to DYL (min A$57 cash/shares) is significant.
greenfield/brownfields uranium portfolio in WA, NT,SA and Other Exploration: Extensive greenfields/brownfields U exploration portfolio (budget A$2mpa). Priorities
Namibia . are Lake MacKay (WA) palaeochannel and IOCG, Iwupataka (NT) sandstone and unconformity,
Radium Hill (SA), palaeochannel targets. Also Namibia - potential palaeochannels, prime area.
Our medium term target is A$0.15-0.20/share based on Investment Comment: TOE’s considerable pedigree of uranium management experience will be crucial
to bring Wiluna and Napperby into production in 2012/2013. TOE’s drifting share price indicates a short
positive (3Q09) optimisation study results for Wiluna. term market view more focused on current weak spot prices and uncertainty re: OZL 51.7% stake.
Surprisingly, no reaction to bullish Lake Maitland transaction. Critical factors for TOE’s immediate
TOE - Toro Energy Limited prospects are a positive outcome of Wiluna optimisation study and imminent scoping study for Napperby.
If these are positive, we see a med-term target share price range of A$0.15-A$0.20/share.

Toro has a strong uranium project pipeline from extensive grassroots and brownfields exploration projects
in highly prospective uranium ground in Australia and Namibia, to its two advanced development projects
(Wiluna and Napperby – total resource target 41mlb) aiming to be in production in 2012.

TOE valuation is strongly geared to Wiluna uranium project economics. Current optimisation study for
improving Wiluna head grades (mid 2009) and Napperby scoping study (1Q09) will be key to driving the
share price to our A$0.15-0.20/share (medium term) target.

Investment Points Company Comment


2009 exploration budget ~$4m - 100% uranium focus. Overview: Uranex listed on the ASX Oct '05 as a spin off from Goldstream Mining (ASX:GDM, renamed
IMX Resources; ASX:IXR) which holds a 39.5% interest. IMX has substantial global exploration interests
and has Anglo American as its major shareholder. UNX is focused on uranium, pursuing unconformity
Manyoni key UNX focus. Economics enhanced by good style targets in Australia (NT), and calcrete and sandstone palaeochannel targets in Tanzania and WA.
regional infrastructure and at, or near, surface Tanzanian projects: (30,100km2) Manyoni (4,600km2) tenements cover an extensive closed drainage
mineralisation (<10m). PFS expected 4Q09. BFS 2H10. system and include 5 proximal large playa deposit systems. Potential for proximate (~10km) multiple
satellites, from shallow deposits (3-8m) with low cost, free dig mining and centralised processing.
Mineralisation occurs as a surficial schrockingerite zone 1m thick underlain by carnotite to 5m to 10m
Manyoni: Playa deposits (A,C,E) - JORC resource depth. Manyoni (C1,A,E) – C1 resource is the highest grade and largest of the 3 playa deposit resources
15.3mlbs U3O8 @ 0.015%. Further resource statements announced to date (8.6mlbs U3O8) and would be the initial production focus. Anticipated resource
expected 2Q09 (D,F). High potential for new discovery. statements 2Q09 are likely to include infill drill results at playa deposits A,C and E and initial resources at
D and F. Metallurgical studies are underway. Mkuju shares characteristics with the nearby Kayelekera
(PDN, 44mlbs U3O8) sandstone hosted deposit. Uranium mineralisation is confirmed and radiometric
Thatcher Soak JORC 14mlbs grading 0.022% U3 anomalies identified over a large 16km x 2km trend. Trenching (60 pits) and auger drilling (70 holes)
(100ppm cut-off). SS expected 2Q09. BFS 2011. completed 4Q07. The Kalulu prospect is adjacent to Mtonya (WMT) and testing the same radiometric
anomaly (Grandfather). Mantra (ASX:MRU), has had strong results at Mkuju, driving its market cap to
Mkuju - 3 extensive trends with confirmed mineralisation. ~$135m (UNX market cap ~$15m). Preliminary results from UNX’s 4Q08 drilling suggest a potential
anomalous trend 6km by 1km. Downhole probe e-values awaited. Further drilling expected 2Q09.
Potential for early discovery - adjacent to WMT's Mtonya Thatcher Soak (WA): (Surficial calcrete). Two separate mineralised zones extend over a combined strike
prospect. length of 7.7km with widths of 0.2km to 1km and thickness of 1m to 6m to ~ 20m in depth. The initial JORC
resource of 14mlbs grades 0.022% U3O8 (100ppm cut-off) or 11mlbs grading 0.029% U3O8 (150ppm)
Drilling diary 2Q-3Q09: Manyoni (5,500m), Mkuju (5,000m) cutoff. Eleckra Mines (ASX:EKM) holds the other significant portion of the deposit - initial JORC resource
(Sep ’08) 6.2mlbs U3O8 (100ppm cut-off) or 4.5mlbs U3O8 (150ppm cut-off). The combined UNX/EKM
and Bremer (1,000m). Mkuju results from 4Q08 (6,502m) resource is ~20mlbs U3O8 (100ppm cut-off). There is potential tonnage upside at Dog-leg – a 2km by
drilling expected 2Q09. 400m target adjacent to the current resource and regional exploration upside.
Investment Comment: UNX is positioned to advance 2 near surface projects (Thatcher Soak and
Manyoni) to development stage – valuation will be strongly influenced by ability to secure long term offtake
UNX - Uranex NL agreements and attract strategic partners. Mega Uranium’s announced deal (Feb ‘09) with Japanese farm-
0.60 in and JV partner (JAURD) for a 35% interest in Lake Maitland (WA) confirms the potential of smaller/mid
size projects to attract strategic investment. The 35% stake in the project (23.7mlbs U3O8 @ 0.03%) is
valued at US$49m or US$5.90/lb (~A$9/lb U3O8). The deal price also suggests that project valuations are
0.50 discounting the long term uranium price (currently US$70/lb). UNX has prospective greenfield projects
though is prioritising advanced projects in the current market. UNX has A$5m in cash.
