Etango Heap Leach Demonstration Plant

Proposed Etango Dynamic Heap Leach Approach

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 9am (AWST), Tuesday, 10 January 2017 Unit 1, 2 Centro Avenue, Subiaco, Western Australia

Bannerman Resources Limited NOTICE OF MEETING

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Bannerman Resources Limited ( Bannerman or the Company ) will be held at Unit 1, 2 Centro Avenue, Subiaco, Western Australia at 9am (AWST) , Tuesday, 10 January 2017.

12 December 2016

Dear Shareholder

In October 2016, Bannerman successfully completed a A$4 million placement to institutional and sophisticated investors, to fund internal and external engineering designed to assess and quantify opportunities to reduce Etango project operating and capital cost estimates that have arisen from the Company’s Heap leach Demonstration Program. The Board wishes to thank those participating in the raising for their endorsement of Bannerman’s strategy to further enhance the Etango Project’s early mover advantage.

In order to retain the flexibility of the Company to raise further capital by issuing equity securities without the delays involved with seeking prior Shareholder approval, the Company is asking Shareholders to ratify the prior issue of Shares pursuant to Items 1 and 2. Item 3 is seeking approval from Shareholders for the participation of Resource Capital Fund VI L.P. in the capital raising, with a placement of 16,666,667 new Bannerman Shares at A$0.03, raising A$500,000.

On 15 August 2016, Bannerman announced the appointment of key advisors, Nuclear Fuel Associates and Fivemark Partners to strengthen Bannerman’s strategic, uranium marketing and project financing

capabilities. These appointments will continue to build on the marketing and financing initiatives that commenced this year and together bring a depth of experience in uranium marketing and economics, corporate finance and capital markets strategy. These initiatives have already provided Bannerman with the greatly enhanced insights into the nuclear fuel cycle and confidence in an abrupt and sustained recovery in the uranium price to levels that will enable profitable development of the Etango Project.

Bannerman continues to focus on streamlining activities to reduce costs, including successfully completing an unmarketable parcel share sale facility and delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange. This focus has enabled Bannerman to reduce cash outflows whilst attracting well qualified expertise and supporters of Bannerman through the issue of performance rights and options. The Company is asking shareholders to ratify these prior issues of performance rights and options to enable this focus to be maintained, pursuant to Items 4 to 6.

On behalf of the Directors of Bannerman Resources Limited, please find enclosed the following documents which relate to the Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM ) of the Company:

  • Notice of Meeting for the EGM, including the Explanatory Notes; and

  • Proxy Form and return envelope.

I encourage you to carefully read the attached Notice of Meeting and either attend the EGM in person or lodge your vote using the enclosed Proxy Form.

If you have any questions, please contact the Company Secretary of Bannerman, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

In the face of growing demand for uranium and with the strong support of existing shareholders Bannerman continues to advance the Etango Project, which remains one of the very few globally significant uranium projects that can realistically be brought into production in the medium term.

Yours sincerely

Bannerman Resources Limited EXPLANATORY NOTES

ITEMS 1 and 2 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES

Background

On 28 October 2016, the Company announced that it has successfully raised A$4 million through a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors and existing shareholder, Resource Capital Fund VI L.P ( RCFVI ) through the issue of 133,333,333 new Bannerman shares at A$0.03 per share ( Placement ).

The Placement was split into two tranches. Tranche 1, of approximately 116.6 million shares, was issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A ( Tranche 1 Shares ). The shares subscribed for RCFVI are the subject of Item 3.

On 3 November, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Shares. 99,520,918 of the Tranche 1 Shares were within the Company’s annual capacity to issue equity securities equivalent to 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities, under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 15% Capacity ). The remaining 17,145,748 of Tranche 1 Shares were issued with the Company’s approved additional 10% capacity, under Listing Rule 7.1A ( 10% Capacity ).

Purpose of approval

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company must not issue more than the 15% Capacity and 10% Capacity within a 12 month period unless a specified exception applies or the issue is made with prior Shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue made by the Company (without Shareholder approval) to be treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A, provided that:

  • it is subsequently ratified by Shareholders at a general meeting; and

  • the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A at the time it was made.

Approval of Items 1 and 2 will provide the Company with greater available capacity to raise further capital by issuing equity securities, without the delays involved with seeking prior Shareholder approval.

The Board will only undertake further issues of equity securities if they consider it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.

Board Recommendation – Items 1 and 2

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Placement.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Items 1 and 2.

Key terms of the Shares

The Tranche 1 Shares issued under the Placement were issued on the same terms and for the same purposes, as set out below:

Terms of The shares were issued on the same securities terms and conditions as the Company’s existing ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with all other ordinary shares on issue

Issue price of A$0.03 each Share

Use of funds The funds raised from the issue are intended to be used internal and external engineering designed to assess and quantify opportunities to reduce Etango project operating and capital cost estimates that have arisen from the Company’s successful Heap Leach Demonstration Program, and for general working capital.

Allottees

The shares were issued to professional, sophisticated and institutional investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act, and including clients of Morgan Financial Limited and Patersons Securities Limited.

Voting exclusion statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Items 1 and 2 by a person who participated in the issue and any of their associates.

However, in respect of Items 1 and 2, the Company need not disregard a vote if the vote is cast as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote:

  • in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

  • the Chairman of the meeting in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

ITEMS 3 – PARTICIPATION OF RCFVI IN A PLACEMENT

Background

On 28 October 2016, the Company announced that it has successfully raised A$4 million through a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors and existing shareholder, Resource Capital Fund VI L.P ( RCFVI ) through the issue of 133,333,333 new Bannerman shares at A$0.03 per share ( Placement ).

The Placement was split into two tranches. Tranche 2 of the Placement, the issue of16,666,667 shares to RCFVI, is subject to Shareholder approval.

Purpose of approval

Listing Rule 10.11 requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval to issue, or agree to issue, securities to a ‘related party’ (which includes RCFVI) unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply to the proposed issue of Shares to RCFVI.

Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval under Item 3 for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, to issue 16,666,667 Shares to RCFVI ( Tranche 2 Shares ).

Key terms of the Shares

Subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, each of the Tranche 2 Shares will be issued on the same terms and for the same purposes, as set out below:

Issue date As soon as practicable and in any event within one month of the Meeting.

Issue price of A$0.03 each Share

Terms of The shares are to be issued on the same securities terms and conditions as the Company’s existing ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with all other ordinary shares on issue.

Page | 5

Bannerman Resources Limited EXPLANATORY NOTES

Use of funds The funds raised from the issue are intended to be used internal and external engineering designed to assess and quantify opportunities to reduce Etango project operating and capital cost estimates that have arisen from the Company’s successful Heap Leach Demonstration Program, and for general working capital.

Amount paid for the Tranche 2 Shares

Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained, the Tranche 2 Shares are to be issued to RCFVI for the consideration of A$500,000.

Listing Rule 7.1

If Shareholder approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (as is being sought under Item 3), additional approval will not be required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in order to issue the Tranche 2 Shares. Accordingly, the issue of Tranche 2 Shares will not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity.

What if Shareholders do not approve the issue?

If Shareholders do not approve the issue of Tranche 2 Shares to RCFVI, the Board may consider whether it should place any of the Tranche 2 Shares to alternative placees.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires shareholder approval where a public company seeks to give a “financial benefit” to a “related party” (unless an exception applies).

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, RCFVI are considered to be related parties of the Company and the placement of the Tranche 2 Shares may constitute a financial benefit.

An exception to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E applies where the financial benefit would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and RCFVI were dealing at arm’s length.

The Board (other than Mr Burvill whom is the representative of RCFVI), considers that the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares satisfies this exception and constitutes arm’s length terms.

In reaching this conclusion, the Board has had regard to a variety of factors including that the Tranche 2 Shares were

placed on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Shares offered under the Placement.

Voting exclusion statements

In accordance with ASX Listing Rules the Company will disregard any votes cast by or on behalf of (including by proxy) RCFVI and any of their associates;

However, in respect of each of Item 3, the Company need not disregard a vote if the vote is cast as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote:

  • in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

  • by the Chair of the meeting in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

Board Recommendation – Item 3

The Board (other than Mr Burvill, who are unable to make a recommendation) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Item 3.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Item 3.

other limited situations, such as where a
resolution is passed approving the disposal of
Bannerman’s main undertaking or on a winding
up of Bannerman.
Vesting on
change of

condition immediately vest and are received or
become exercisable by the participant in the

pursued (such as a scheme of arrangement,
selective capital return etc) which results in the
bidder acquiring voting power to more than 50%

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Signing Instructions for Postal Forms

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.

Attending the Meeting

Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the help tab, "Printable Forms".
