The Growing Demand for Nuclear Energy
==> picture [125 x 27] intentionally omitted <==
3
Affordable and Safe Clean Energy
==> picture [12 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Nuclear energy is the cheapest source of long-term baseload energy.
==> picture [12 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
In France, nuclear power generates 75% of electricity.
- Reducing electricity costs by 15% in comparison to EU average.
==> picture [12 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
One fifth of electricity produced in the US is from nuclear energy.
- Delivering at half the cost that Australians pay for electricity.
==> picture [12 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
Nuclear energy is one of the safest and cleanest sources of electricity.
==> picture [12 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Importantly, nuclear power generation technologies continue to evolve.
==> picture [12 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
New nuclear technologies will continue to provide efficient and safe ways of producing clean electricity at lower costs.
==> picture [125 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Significant Growth in Nuclear Demand Expected
==> picture [12 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Globally 20 new reactors scheduled to be connected by 2020.
==> picture [12 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Increasing demand supported by aggressive reactor construction in China.
-
Considerable growth in 15 years from 3 operating reactors to 45 today.
-
Aggressive growth to continue with ~8-10+ reactors scheduled for construction annually from 2020 – 2030.
==> picture [12 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
If China adopted the Paris target of limiting global warming to 1.5 ° C, 25% of energy consumption will require nuclear energy.
-
Between 65,000tU - 90,000tU required annually by 2050.
-
This requirement (even at the lower limit) is equivalent to the total current global nuclear fleet consumption.
==> picture [12 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
India, Russia and Middle East also undertaking ambitious nuclear reactor construction programmes from 2020 – 2040.
==> picture [12 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
Growing acknowledgement Solar and Wind as renewables have severe limitations able to supply electricity on average for only 6 hours per 24 hour day/night cycle.
- International targets for climate control require zero-emission nuclear capability in partnership to provide reliable baseload power, lower prices and grid stability.

Targeting 120Mlb – 150Mlb U308 in palaeochannels.
-
In the grade range 300-500ppm eU308.
==> picture [322 x 319] intentionally omitted <==
- The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature, and that there has been insufficient additional exploration to estimate an expanded Mineral Resource at the date of this presentation and whilst additional exploration is planned, it is uncertain if this will result in the estimation of an expanded Mineral Resource. Following a complete review and evaluation of calcrete associated mineralisation already identified on the Company’s tenements (Refer ASX Announcement 19 January 2017), the Company has a greater understanding of the stratigraphy of the palaeochannels which host mineralisation. This work provided renewed confidence that mineralisation is likely to be identified in targeted but contiguous areas on our tenements. Targeted tonnage/grades are based on results and understanding from work carried out over past 14 years in this region.. The exploration targets are regarded as valid being confirmed by the exploration carried out since then. Work is continuing forwards achieving the resource targets as stated
