Energia Minerals Limited

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder

Energia Minerals Limited – non-renounceable pro-rata rights offer

On 31 October 2012, Energia Minerals Limited ( Company ) announced a ( Capital Raising ) to raise up to approximately $2.3 million.

The purpose of this Capital Raising is to provide immediate funding to satisfy short term requirements and expand the current exploration program at the Company's flagship Nyang Uranium Project in Western Australia, as well as to progress investigations into its Gorno zinc/lead projects in northern Italy and for working capital purposes.

The Capital Raising comprises:

  • a placement of 16,425,000 shares to UEQ Investments Pty Ltd ( UEQ ), a wholly owned subsidiary of Uranium Equities Limited ( Uranium Equities ), at an issue price of $0.035 per Share to raise $574,875 ( Placement ). The Placement is scheduled to complete on 2 November 2012; and

  • a non-renounceable pro-rata rights offer to be conducted on the basis of 2 New Shares for every 5 Shares, at the same issue price as the Placement, to raise up to a further $1.76 million before costs ( Rights Issue ).

In evaluating the most effective structure for the Capital Raising, the Company considered the timing of required funding and the strategic benefits that can be realised through the introduction of Uranium Equities (through its wholly owned subsidiary UEQ), an entity with significant expertise in the uranium industry, as a keystone investor in the company.

This Offer Document provides you with the opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue. This offer is being made to Eligible Shareholders on the Company’s register as at 5.00pm (AWST time) on 9 November 2012 ( Record Date ).

Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their initial entitlement under the Right Issue, apply for additional shares up to a maximum of $5,000 per shareholder. Applications for additional shares will be satisfied out of any New Shares for which applications have not been received from Eligible Shareholders before the closing date of the Rights Issue ( Shortfall ). Further information regarding the application process for additional shares is provided in this Offer Document.

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by Blue Ocean Equities Pty Ltd ( Underwriter ). This means that the Company will receive the full amount of $1.76 million before costs under the Rights Issue, even if some Eligible Shareholders don’t subscribe for their Rights, unless the Underwriting Agreement is terminated. The Underwriting Agreement includes a number of termination events customary for agreements of this nature. Further information regarding the Underwriting Agreement is provided in this Offer Document.

UEQ has entered into a priority sub-underwriting agreement with the Underwriter pursuant to which it will subscribe for up to $500,000 (or 14,285,715 shares) of any Shortfall. The implication of this on the control of the Company are set out in Section 3 of Part E of the Offer Document.

This Offer Document contains important information concerning your potential participation in the Rights Issue, including:

  • the key terms of the Rights Issue;

  • instructions on 'how to participate' should you choose to do so; and

7743775/1 Offer Document – Non Renounceable Rights Issue

Energia Minerals Limited

  • a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which details your Rights, to be completed in accordance with the instructions provided.

To participate in the Rights Issue, you must ensure that applications for New Shares are received in accordance with the Entitlement and Acceptance Form on or before 5.00pm (AWST time) on 28 November 2012 . Otherwise, your Rights will lapse.

If you have any doubt as to whether you should participate in the Right Issue, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant, financial or other professional adviser.

B Details of the Rights Issue

1 The Rights Issue

Eligible Shareholders are invited to participate in a pro-rata non-renounceable Rights Issue of up to 50,370,003 New Shares. The Rights Issue will be conducted on the basis of 2 New Shares for every 5 Shares (2:5) held at 5.00pm (AWST time) on the Record Date, at an issue price of $0.035 per New Share, payable in full on application.

Your Rights to subscribe for New Shares is shown on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Offer Document.

The Rights Issue is non-renounceable, which means that if you do not accept all or part of your Rights, you will not be able to trade your Rights and they will lapse.

New Shares will rank equally in all respects with Existing Shares.

The Rights Issue is being undertaken by the Company under section 708AA of the Corporations Act without a prospectus.

2 Purpose of the Rights Issue

The proceeds of the Capital Raising will be used to satisfy short term funding requirements and expand the exploration program at the Company's flagship Nyang Uranium Project in Western Australia, as well as to progress investigations into its Gorno zinc/lead projects in northern Italy and for working capital purposes.

The Rights Issue has the additional benefit of allowing Eligible Shareholders to participate in the Capital Raising at the same price as Shares are issued under the Placement.

3 Who is eligible to participate

The Rights Issue is being extended to Eligible Shareholders (which is all Shareholders on the register as at 5.00pm (AWST) on the Record Date). For further details on Eligible Shareholders, refer to section 1 of Part E.

4 Issue Price

The Issue Price is $0.035 for each New Share representing a 7.8% discount to the price of Shares ($0.038) prior to entering a trading halt to finalise the terms of the Capital Raising.

7743775/1 Offer Document – Non Renounceable Rights Issue

Energia Minerals Limited

6 Opening and Closing Date for applications

The Rights Issue opens for acceptances on 13 November 2012 and all Entitlement and Acceptance Forms and payments of Application Money must be received by no later than 5.00 pm (AWST time) on 28 November 2012, subject to the Directors being able to vary the Closing Date in consultation with the Underwriter and in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

7 Applying for Additional Shares out of the Shortfall

Any New Shares not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to their Entitlements will form part of the Shortfall.

Eligible Shareholders (other than UEQ who, because of its priority sub-underwriting right, will not participate in the Shortfall made available to Eligible Shareholders) may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for Additional Shares up to a maximum of $5,000 per shareholder, regardless of the size of their present holding, by specifying the total amount of New Shares they wish to apply for (including the Additional Shares) on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Applications for Additional Shares may be satisfied out of the Shortfall.

As permitted by the Listing Rules, the Directors reserve the right to issue the Shortfall at their discretion.

In processing applications for the Shortfall and allocating the New Shares under the Shortfall, the Directors will:

  • (a) give priority to applications for Shortfall Shares by existing Shareholders other than the Underwriter and sub-underwriters; and

  • (b) before issuing Shortfall Shares to the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, endeavour to satisfy all Applications by existing Shareholders other than the Underwriter, subject to ensuring no other Shareholder becomes entitled to more than 20% of total Shares on issue (in order to ensure no Shareholder breaches the requirements of the Corporations Act).

In the event applications for Shortfall Shares by existing Shareholders exceed the total amount of the Shortfall after processing Applications, the Directors will allocate the available Shortfall on a pro rata basis having regard to Shareholders’ interests on the Record Date.

Accordingly, the Company cannot guarantee that you will receive the Additional Shares you apply for in excess of your Entitlement.

It is an express term of the Rights Issue that Applicants for Additional Shares will be bound to accept a lesser number of Additional Shares allocated to them than applied for. If you do not receive any or all of the Additional Shares you applied for, any excess Application Monies will be returned to you without interest.

As the Additional Shares are limited to a maximum of $5,000 per shareholder, and other than as disclosed elsewhere in this document, the application for Additional Shares will not have a material effect on control of the Company.

Energia Minerals Limited

D Risk factors

Prior to deciding whether to apply for New Shares under the Rights Issue, Eligible Shareholders should read this Offer Document in its entirety and review all announcements made to the ASX in order to gain an understanding of the Company, its activities, operations, financial position and prospects. The risks included in this section are specific to the Company and its operations and are not exhaustive.

As the risks described in this section may impact upon the Company’s future performance, the Company and its Directors have taken steps to safeguard the Company from, and to mitigate the Company's exposure, to these risks.

1 Exploration

Exploration, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate success depends on the discovery and delineation of economically recoverable mineral resources, establishment of an efficient exploration operation and obtaining necessary government approvals. The exploration activities may be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, geological conditions, seasonal weather patterns, technical difficulties and failures, availability of the necessary drilling rigs, technical equipment and appropriately skilled and experienced technicians, adverse changes in government policy or legislation and access to appropriate funding when required.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration activities, or any other projects, tenements or databases that the Company may acquire in the future, will result in the discovery of any significant mineral resource. Even if a significant mineral resource is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

2 Financing

The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including the results of exploration programs. An inability to obtain additional funding (if required) would have a material adverse affect on the Company’s business and the price of its Shares.

3 Approval Process

The approval processes for uranium mining are more rigorous that for the mining of other metals, as both Federal and State Government legislation must be satisfied in order to commence mining of uranium. There is a risk that, should economic deposits of uranium be discovered by the Company, the necessary government approvals may not be granted or may be significantly delayed.

4 Government policy

Mining activity in Australia (and uranium mining in particular) is regulated by Federal and State governments. Complying with the relevant laws and regulations for exploration

7743775/1 Offer Document – Non Renounceable Rights Issue

page 12

Energia Minerals Limited

and mining in general and specifically for uranium may increase the costs of exploring, drilling, developing, construction, operating and closing mines and other production facilities.

The Federal Government currently permits the mining and export of uranium under strict international agreements designed to prevent nuclear proliferation. The export of uranium if tightly controlled by the Federal Government through its licensing process and Australian uranium can only be exported to those countries who undertake to use it for peaceful purposes.

In Western Australia, there is no legislation prohibiting uranium mining and the current State Government supports the development of uranium mining. However, a change of government may reverse the current position.

The Queensland State Government’s policy currently opposes the mining of uranium but does not prevent exploration for uranium. However, on 22 October 2012, the Queensland State Government announced that it was convening an implementation committee to oversee the recommencement of uranium mining in Queensland. While the Company is not prevented from exploring for and evaluating any uranium deposits in Queensland, the development of any uranium deposits is dependent upon the implementation of this change in the Queensland Government’s policy.

South Australia and the Northern Territory each allow the mining of uranium provided strict conditions are adhered to, and such mining requires both State or Territory (as applicable) and Federal approvals.

In relation to the Company’s Projects in Italy, the granted tenements at Gorno and Val Camonica are subject to an application for renewal and the Gorno, Novazza and Val Vedello applications have not been granted. The Company cannot guarantee if or when these applications will be granted or the licences renewed.

Future changes in governments, regulations and policies affecting any of the areas in which the Company has projects may have an adverse impact on the Company.

5 Title and transfer

In relation to those of the Tenements that are exploration licences, some or all of these may be the subject of applications for extension in the future. If a Tenement is not extended, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to discover and/or develop any mineral resources on that Tenement. In addition, the Company cannot guarantee that those tenements that exist will convert to mining tenure and therefore convert to productive mining operations.

6

Commodity price and demand, and exchange rates

The demand for, and price of, uranium is highly dependent upon a variety of factors, including international supply and demand, developments in alternative energy sources, actions taken by governments, global economic and political developments, exchange rates and the proper functioning of debt markets. In the event that the Company achieves exploration success leading to uranium production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by

7743775/1 Offer Document – Non Renounceable Rights Issue

page 13

Energia Minerals Limited

many factors beyond the control of the Company, including supply and demand fluctuations for uranium, technology advances, forward-selling activities, debt markets and other macro-economic factors. Further, the international prices of various commodities, including uranium, are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are, and will be taken into account, in Australian dollars. This exposes the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the exchange rate between the Unites States dollar and the Australian dollar, as determined in international markets.

7 Competitive power generation technologies

Nuclear power generators produces negligible carbon dioxide compared to power sourced from the burning of fossil fuels including coal, distillate and petroleum gas and is therefore a potentially important source of energy as the emphasis on carbon reduction increases.

However, the successful development of technologies to reduce the cost of, and improve the reliability of supply of power from alternative sources including tidal power, solar energy wind farms, underground coal gasification and others could reduce the demand for uranium. Further, technologies are being developed to capture carbon emissions before they enter the atmosphere which, if proved commercial viable, could reduce demand for uranium.

8

Export restrictions

There are no nuclear power stations operating within Australia as at the date of this Prospectus and therefore all material quantities of uranium produced from Australian mines is exported. Federal legislation currently restricts the export of uranium to countries which are signatories to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and have a bilateral nuclear safeguard agreement with Australia.

9

Dependence on key personnel.

The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon key management personnel, as well as other management and technical personnel, including those employed on a contractual basis. The loss of the services of certain personnel could adversely affect the Company and its activities.

For a further outline of the risks the Company faces, refer to the Company’s Prospectus dated 17 November 2009 and other ASX announcements.

If any of the option rights to take up shares in the Company are exercised, then both UEQ's and Carbon Energy Limited’s percentage shareholding would decrease. In the event that UEQ's voting power in the Company exceeds 19.9%, it will be relying on the exemption in section 611(item 10) of the Corporations Act.

Shares currently on issue (including 125,925,005 Shares issued under the Placement) Maximum number of New Shares offered 50,370,003 under the Rights Issue Total Shares on issue on completion of the 176,295,008 Rights Issue, assuming the maximum number of New Shares that are offered are issued
