LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

10 April 2013

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Uranium Equities Limited ( Uranium Equities or the Company ), I am pleased to invite you to participate in the Company’s non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer of 1 New Share for every 3 Shares held at the Record Date of 5.00pm (ACST) on Wednesday, 24 April 2013, at an Issue Price of 2.5 cents per Share ( Offer ).

The Offer of approximately 88 million New Shares is intended to raise approximately $2.2 million before the costs of the Offer.

It is currently proposed to use the net proceeds from the Offer to further progress our key Nabarlek Project and for general working capital requirements.

Eligible Shareholders (other than Directors and related parties of the Company) may also apply for Additional Shares over and above their Entitlement at 2.5 cents per Share.

The Company controls 673km[2] in one of the world’s best endowed uranium provinces, the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field ( ARUF ) in the Northern Territory. The Company’s landholding in the ARUF incorporates the Nabarlek Mineral Lease and several surrounding granted and pending exploration licences which collectively comprise the Nabarlek Project.

In addition, the Company continues to develop the PhosEnergy Process for extraction of uranium as a by-product of phosphate fertiliser production with the funding and business development support of Cameco Corporation ( Cameco ), one of the world’s largest uranium producers.

On 5 March 2013, Cameco committed US$4 million for further development of the PhosEnergy Process bringing their total funding to date to US$16.5 million. It is anticipated that these funds are sufficient to carry the project through to completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study. Uranium Equities now has an interest of 27% in the PhosEnergy Process with Cameco having an interest of 73%.

Each of the Directors, including myself, intends to fully participate in the Offer.

On behalf of my fellow Directors I would like to express my appreciation for your ongoing support of the Company.

Yours sincerely

1. DETAILS OF THE OFFER

1.1

The Offer

The Company is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 3 Shares held at 5:00pm (ACST) on Wednesday, 24 April 2013 at an Issue Price of 2.5 cents per New Share.

Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a New Share, that will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share.

Your Entitlement under the Offer is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Details on how to accept the Offer are set out in Section 3.

1.2 Size of the Offer

As at 10 April 2013, the Company has on issue:

  • (a) 264,646,294 Shares; and

  • (b) 6,475,000 Options (which carry no entitlement to participate in the Offer without the Options first being exercised).

On the basis that no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, approximately 88,215,431 New Shares will be offered under the Offer to raise approximately $2,205,386 before the expenses of the Offer are taken into account.

1.3 Use of Funds

Completion of the Offer will result in an increase in cash in hand of up to approximately $2.2 million (before the payment of costs associated with the Offer).

It is currently proposed to use the funds raised under the Offer to further progress the Nabarlek Project and for general working capital requirements.

On 5 March 2013, Cameco committed US$4 million for further development of the PhosEnergy Process bringing their total funding to date to US$16.5 million. It is anticipated that these funds are sufficient to carry the project through to completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study.

The funds raised are intended to be allocated as follows:

Description Total (maximum)
Exploration and working capital requirements $2.15 million (approx.)
Costs of the Offer* $0.05 million (approx.)
Maximum funds raised under the Offer $2,205,386
  • Excluding any fees paid to brokers on placement of any Shortfall Shares (see Section 1.9)

1.4 Opening and Closing Date

The Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on Tuesday, 30 April 2013. The Closing

18424594v6 STIN

8

Date for acceptance of your Entitlement is 5.00 pm (ACST) on Tuesday, 14 May 2013.

The Company reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to extend the last date for receipt of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or to delay or withdraw the Offer at any time without prior notice, in which case all Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as practicable.

1.5 Entitlements under the Offer

The Offer is non-renounceable, and therefore the Entitlements are not transferable and cannot be traded on the ASX or any other exchange, or privately transferred. Shareholders will not receive any value if they do not take up their Entitlements. Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will have their percentage interest in the Company diluted.

As described in Section 1.9, any New Shares not taken up by an Eligible Shareholder by the Closing Date will form part of the Shortfall.

1.6 Entitlements and acceptance

The Entitlement of Eligible Shareholders to participate in the Offer will be determined on the Record Date. Your Entitlement is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance form accompanying this Offer Document.

1.7

No underwriting

The Offer is not underwritten. However, Directors, accounting for approximately 16.4% of total Shares on issue, have committed to fully take up their Entitlements in the Offer.

1.8

No cooling off rights

Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your Application once it has been received.

1.9 Shortfall

Eligible Shareholders (other than Directors and related parties of the Company) may, in addition to taking up their Entitlements in full, apply for any number of Additional Shares in excess of their Entitlements by using the Top-Up Facility. Additional Shares will only be available where there is a shortfall between Applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Offer. Any Additional Shares issued, will be at the Issue Price of 2.5 cents per Share. Details on how to apply for Additional Shares are set out in Section 3.3. There can be no guarantee that there will be any Additional Shares.

Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors will exercise their discretion in determining allocations of Additional Shares applied for through the Top-Up Facility. It is an express term of the Offer that Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional Shares are bound to accept a lesser number of Additional Shares than applied for, or may be allocated no Additional Shares at all, in which case excess Application Monies will be refunded without interest.

The maximum number of New Shares which will be issued by the Company pursuant to the Offer (which includes any Additional Shares) will be 88,215,431 Shares.

If any Shortfall remains after applications for Additional Shares under the Top-Up Facility are considered, as set out above, the Directors reserve the right, subject to the

18424594v6 STIN

9

Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to place any further Shortfall (other than to Directors and related parties of the Company) at their discretion within 3 months after the close of the Offer (at a price not less than the Issue Price of 2.5 cents per New Share). If the Shortfall is placed through a licenced broker, fees not exceeding 5% of the funds raised from the placement will be paid to the broker.

1.10 Issue and despatch

The issue of New Shares offered by this Offer Document is expected to occur on Monday, 20 May 2013. The New Shares will be traded on a deferred settlement basis, commencing 15 May 2013.

Confirmation of the issue of the New Shares will be made in the May 2013 holding statements which will be despatched in early June 2013. Applicants should contact their broker or the Share Registry on 1300 556 161, if they require the issue details prior to receiving their monthly holding statements.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the allocation prior to trading in the New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares without making such determination do so at their own risk.

1.11 ASX listing

The Company has made an application for official quotation by ASX of the New Shares offered under this Offer Document. If that permission is not granted by ASX, the Company will not issue any New Shares and all Application Monies received (without interest) will be refunded in full to the Applicants. The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares.

1.12 CHESS

The Company will apply to ASX to participate in CHESS for those Shareholders who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Shareholders who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, Shareholders will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Document. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (HIN) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

1.13 Ineligible Foreign Shareholders

This Offer Document and Entitlement and Acceptance Form are only being sent to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand on the Record Date of Wednesday, 24 April 2013.

The Offer is not being extended to any Shareholders whose registered address is outside Australia or New Zealand. In accordance with the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to Ineligible Foreign

18424594v6 STIN

10

Shareholders, having regard to:

  • (a) the number of Ineligible Foreign Shareholders;

  • (b) the number and value of New Shares to be offered to those Ineligible Foreign Shareholders; and

  • (c) the cost of complying with overseas legal requirements in those jurisdictions.

Accordingly, no Entitlement and Acceptance Forms will be sent, and no offer will be made, to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. This Offer Document will be sent to them for information purposes only.

The Offer contained in this Offer Document to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (New Zealand). Members of the public in New Zealand who are not existing Shareholders on the Record Date are not entitled to apply for any New Shares.

To the extent that a person holds Shares on behalf of another person resident outside Australia or New Zealand, it is that person's responsibility to ensure that any acceptance complies with applicable foreign laws.

The Company reserves the right to reject any Application that it believes come from a person who is not an Eligible Shareholder.

1.14 Rights and liability attaching to New Shares

The New Shares issued under the Offer will be on a fully paid basis and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours. You may also contact the Company Secretary by telephone on +61 (0)8 8110 0700 for a copy of the Company's constitution.

18424594v6 STIN

2. EFFECT OF THE OFFER

2.1 Effect of the Offer on the capital structure of the Company

The total number of New Shares to be issued under the Offer will be approximately 88,215,431 (the exact number depends on the rounding up of individual holdings).

The table below sets out, for illustrative purposes only, the existing capital structure (before the Offer) together with the impact of the issue of the New Shares under the Offer. It assumes that no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date and that all New Shares are issued under the Offer or placed after the Offer.

Shares Number
Existing Shares as at 10 April 2013 264,646,294
Maximum number of New Shares issued pursuant to the
Offer
88,215,431
Total issued Shares following completion of the Offer 352,861,725

The effect of the Offer will be to increase the number of Shares on issue in the Company and increase the cash held by the Company by up to $2.2 million (before taking into account the expenses of the Offer).

Expenses of the Offer are expected to be approximately $0.05 million (excluding any fees paid to brokers on the placement of any Shortfall Shares).

2.2 Potential effect on control of the Company

Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlements in full should not have their interest in the Company diluted by the Offer (subject to immaterial movements as a result of rounding of Entitlements).

The potential effect the Offer will have on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including investor demand. However, given the structure of the Offer as a pro rata issue and the absence of any existing holders with voting power of greater than 20%, the Offer is not expected to have any material effect or consequences on the control of the Company.

The potential effect of the Offer on the control of the Company is as follows:

  • (a) If all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Offer, then the Offer will have no significant effect on the control of the Company.

  • (b) If some Eligible Shareholders do not take up all of their Entitlements under the Offer, then the interests of those Eligible Shareholders will be diluted.

  • (c) The proportional interests of Ineligible Foreign Shareholders will be diluted because those Ineligible Foreign Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Offer.

  • (d) Shareholders that apply for Additional Shares under the Top-Up Facility may increase their interests beyond their Entitlement. This could result in the dilution of holdings of those who failed to accept their Entitlements in full and those who failed to apply for Additional Shares.

18424594v6 STIN

12

  • (e) All Directors intend to fully take up their Entitlements in the Offer and may increase their interests beyond their Entitlements if no other Shareholders participate in the Offer and the Directors do not issue any of the shortfall under the Offer.

  • (f) If no Eligible Shareholders other than the Directors take up their Entitlements under the Offer and the Company issues the shortfall under the Offer to only a limited number of new investors, this may potentially result in a new investor having a substantial interest in the Company.

18424594v6 STIN

3. ACTION REQUIRED BY SHAREHOLDERS

3.1 What Eligible Shareholders may do

The number of New Shares to which you are entitled (your Entitlement ) is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you do not take up your Entitlement, then your percentage holding in the Company will be diluted (refer to Section 2.2).

As an Eligible Shareholder you may:

  • (a) take up all or part of your Entitlement (refer to Section 3.2 below);

  • (b) allow all of your Entitlement to lapse (refer to Section 3.4 below); or

  • (c) take up all of your Entitlement and apply for Additional Shares under the Top-Up Facility (refer to Section 3.3 below).

As detailed in Section 1.13, Ineligible Foreign Shareholders cannot take any of the steps set out in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.

3.2

Applying for New Shares

You may take up all or part of your Entitlement by completing the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and attaching payment to reach Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited ( Share Registry ) by no later than 5:00pm (ACST) on the Closing Date or by paying by BPay[®] .

The Issue Price for each New Share accepted under your Entitlement is payable on application. You have the following payment options:

  • (a) By attaching to your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form a cheque, bank or money order in Australian currency for the amount of your application money to “Uranium Equities Ltd” and crossed “Not Negotiable” .

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies. If the amount of your cheque for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your Application will not be accepted.

  • (b) If paying via BPay[®] :

  • (i) Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment and it is the responsibility of the Applicant to ensure that funds are submitted through BPay® by the date and time mentioned above;

  • (ii) you must follow the instructions for BPay® set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;

  • (iii) you do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make each of the statements and representations on that form; and

18424594v6 STIN

14

  • (iv) if you subscribe for less than your Entitlement or do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are taken to have accepted your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.

3.3 Top-Up Facility

As detailed in Section 1.9 above, Eligible Shareholders (other than Directors and related parties of the Company) may, in addition to taking up their Entitlements in full, apply for Additional Shares in excess of their Entitlements.

If you wish to subscribe for Additional Shares in addition to your Entitlement, then you should nominate the maximum number of Additional Shares you wish to subscribe for on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and make payment for your full Entitlement plus the Additional Shares (at the Issue Price of 2.5 cents for each Additional Share).

If your payment is being made by BPay[®] :

  • (a) you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make each of the statements and representations on that form; and

  • (b) if your payment exceeds the amount payable for your full Entitlement, you are taken to have accepted your Entitlement in full and to have applied for such number of Additional Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.

Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional Shares may be allocated a lesser number of Additional Shares than applied for, or may be allocated no Additional Shares at all, in which case excess Application Monies will be refunded without interest.

3.4 Entitlements not taken up

If you do not wish to accept any of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything. The number of Shares you currently hold and the entitlement attaching to those Shares will not be affected should you choose not to accept any part of your Entitlement.

3.5

Entitlement and Acceptance Form is binding

A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form constitutes a binding offer to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Document and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly, it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Directors’ decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final.

3.6

Brokerage

No brokerage is payable by Shareholders who accept their Entitlement. No stamp duty is payable for subscribing for an Entitlement.

3.7

Queries concerning your Entitlement

If you have any queries concerning your Entitlement please contact the Share Registry on 1300 556 161.
