Apply strict criteria:
==> picture [16 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
Grade:
-
~300 ppm U3O8 for palaeochannel and sheetwash calcretes
-
~400 ppm U3O8 for hard rock open pit deposits (alaskites)
-
~1,000 ppm U3O8 for potential underground deposits
==> picture [16 x 17] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [16 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [16 x 17] intentionally omitted <==
Minimum 18 Mlbs U3O8 per deposit with upside (15 yr mine life) Minimum production profile ~2.2 Mlbs per operation No refractories
==> picture [16 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
Resource inventory ~ 100 Mlbs U3O8 – enables offtake agreements
More attractive economics allows us to concentrate on deposits and discoveries with a real chance of success

INCA deposit – unique uranium and magnetite mineralisation
-
Tubas Red Sand deposit – surficial red sands with uranium mineralisation
– recently proven physical beneficiation upgrading process

– concentrate over 80% of uranium in 20% of volume, with low carbonate Current JORC Compliant Indicated and Inferred Resources
- 28.8 M tonnes at 288 ppm eU3O8 for 18.3 Mlbs eU3O8

Consistently good high grade drilling results (500-600 ppm U3O8 )
-
Maiden JORC Resource imminent
Prefeasibility Study by SNC-Lavalin , interim results released in January: Production rate 2.2 Mlbs U3O8 per annum commencing in 2014 Targeting resources to provide a minimum 12 year mine life INCA open-cut mining for 80% of plant feed Tubas Red Sand simple surface mining and physical beneficiation for 20% of feed Conventional processing plant:
-
crushing, grinding, sulphuric acid leach and solvent extraction
-
followed by uranium precipitation, drying and packaging to produce yellowcake
