Uranium Equities Adds to NT Uranium Portfolio

Consolidates dominant land position in globally significant Alligator Rivers Uranium Field

Highlights:

  • UEQ more than doubles its land-holding in the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field to 5,140km[2] with the purchase of Arnhem Minerals Pty Ltd, holder of 7 Exploration Licence Applications covering 2,096 km[2] in West Arnhem Land.

  • New land position includes tenements located adjacent to a significant high-grade uranium discovery by Cameco Australia at the Angularli Prospect (20.2m @ 5.2% U3O8[(1) ] in WRD0084).

  • Acquisition consolidates the Company’s position in a globally significant uranium province .

  • 5,000m RC drilling program has commenced at the Nabarlek Project and the West Arnhem Joint Venture to test a number of drill-ready targets. Including following up the 6.8m @ 6.7% U3O8 from 75m intercept previously drilled.

Uranium Equities Limited (ASX: UEQ) is pleased to announce it has consolidated a dominant ground position in the world-class Alligator Rivers Uranium Field in the Northern Territory after reaching agreement to acquire an extensive and highly prospective tenement package.

UEQ has agreed to acquire Arnhem Minerals Limited (Arnhem Minerals) from Spectrum Rare Earths Limited (ASX: SPX) for a total of $625,000 in cash, payable in three tranches. Arnhem Minerals holds seven Exploration Licence Applications covering a total area of 2,096 km[2] in the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field (“ARUF”) and the broader West Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory (see Figure 1).

The ARUF is a world-class uranium province which is analogous to the Athabasca Uranium Province in Canada in terms of its uranium endowment and geological setting. However, in contrast to the Athabasca, the ARUF is at a relatively early phase of its exploration history, having received a fraction of the exploration expenditure of its Canadian counterpart.

The ARUF hosts the Energy Resources of Australia Limited’s Ranger Uranium Mine and Jabiluka Deposit and the historical Nabarlek Deposit. The Field’s mineral endowment, including mined resources, exceeds 500 million pounds of uranium (see Figure 2). The recent discovery of high-grade uranium by Cameco Australia Pty Ltd at its Angularli Prospect – where drill-hole WRD0084 returned intersections including 12.2m @ 1.1% U3O8 and 20.2m @ 5.2% U3O8[(1)] – has added to the prospectivity of the region.

Exploration Potential

The focus of the Company’s exploration activities in the ARUF is on the discovery of additional high-grade Nabarlekstyle uranium deposits. UEQ believes that there is outstanding potential to discover more of this style of mineralisation in the region, and has been actively involved with exploring the West Arnhem area in Joint Venture with Cameco Australia Pty Ltd since 2007.

Recently released information regarding Cameco Australia’s Angularli Prospect, located approximately 65km to the north of Nabarlek, displays a similar lithological and structural regime. Buried beneath Kombolgie Sandstone cover sequences, this Nabarlek-style structural quartz breccia zone is strongly mineralised adjacent to the unconformity position with some mineralisation extending into overlying sandstones.

The discovery of significant uranium mineralisation at Angularli greatly expands the area which UEQ considers to have excellent prospectivity for the discovery of further uranium resources (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Combined Ground Position and Uranium Endowment[(2)]

The geology, physiography and exploration history of the four Arnhem Minerals licence areas to the north of Nabarlek are very similar. All are located on gently undulating, readily accessible sandy plains, often with thin remnants of weathered Cretaceous sediments or localised outliers of Kombolgie Sandstone on the northern boundary of the McArthur Basin. There are numerous high tenor radiometric anomalies on these tenements that have not been adequately tested.

Underlying basement sequences consist predominantly of Palaeoproterozoic Nimbuwah Complex gneiss, migmatite and granitoids. The exceptions are EL25385 and EL25386, which lie within areas of the Myra Metamorphic terrane and may include domed Archaean sequences similar to those found in the vicinity of Ranger – Jabiluka and adjacent to Caramal.

In light of the recent Angularli discovery and UEQ’s own investigations in the West Arnhem region, all areas will now be re-examined through systematic exploration work. The Company believes that the newly acquired application areas could potentially yield significant uranium resources following a sustained exploration effort.

Key Transaction Terms

In consideration for the acquisition of all the shares in Arnhem Minerals Pty Ltd, Uranium Equities will pay a total of $625,000 in cash to Spectrum Rare Earths Limited in three tranches as follows:

  • 1) $325,000 by 20[th] June 2014 (First Payment);

  • 2) $175,000 following the grant of ELA25384 (see Figure 1) (Second Payment); and

  • 3) $125,000 following the grant of ELA25389 (see Figure 1) (Third Payment).

The transfer of the Shares in Arnhem Minerals will take place following the First Payment. If either the Second Payment or the Third Payment (subject to the grant of ELA 25384 and 25389 respectively), or both, is not made by Uranium Equities, the shares in Arnhem Minerals Pty Ltd must be transferred back to Spectrum Rare Earths Limited for no consideration with all prior payments being non-refundable to Uranium Equities.

Next Steps

The Company will continue discussions with the Northern Land Council and Traditional Owners of the areas under application with a view to finalising land access agreements. Once agreements are in place the Exploration Licence Applications can be granted.

Uranium Equities is currently planning a 5,000m RC drill program to commence mid-June on its Nabarlek Project. This program will test the Company’s priority, drill-ready targets on both the 100% owned Nabarlek Mineral Lease and West Arnhem Joint Venture ground (40% UEQ: 60% Cameco Australia), where UEQ is earning 100%.

Targets include an area of elevated radon anomalism adjacent to the U40 Prospect where diamond drilling previously intersected exceptional uranium and associated base and precious metal intercepts including an interval of 6.8m @ 6.7% U3O8 from 75m including 5m @ 9.11% U3O8 (refer to table 1 in Appendix A).

Additionally, drilling will test other significant structural and geochemical targets throughout the region. Deeper drilling on the Nabarlek ML beneath the historical Nabarlek Pit will test the Company’s ‘Nabarlek Deeps’ Concept.

Yours faithfully,

Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips,
or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down
hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These
examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Exploration drilling at the U40 Target consists of reverse
circulation (RC) drilling and follow-up diamond drilling. RC
samples were split using a riffle splitter at the drill site. Diamond
drill core was geologically logged, with samples cut on geological
intervals (between 0.4m and 1.0m), with half core samples sent
foranalysis.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used
Diamond core was used to obtain high quality representative
samples that were logged for lithological, structural, geotechnical,
density and other attributes. Sampling was carried out under
Cameco’s protocols and QAQC procedures as per industry best
practice.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information
Reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m bulk samples.
These were riffle split to produce a ~3kg sample which is sent for
analysis at independent laboratory (NTEL Darwin). Selected
intervals of the diamond core were sampled on geological
intervals (between 0.4m and 1.0m), with half core samples sent
for analysis. In both cases, samples were pulverised and
analysed for a multi-element suite.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary
air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).
Reverse circulation drillholes were completed utilising a face
sampling drill bit/hammer. Diamond drilling consists of standard
NQ diamond drilling with some orientation work attempted but
frustrated by the highly broken and altered core.
Downhole surveys were completed using a Reflex EZ-TRAC tool
with surveys taken at ~50m intervals.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed
Reverse circulation bulk samples were collected on 1m intervals
and set out in a regular manner at the drill site for geological
logging and sampling. As part of this process, recoveries are
logged and recorded. Core recoveries were recorded during the
logging process. Overall recoveries were reported as good and
there areno significant samplerecovery problems.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples
Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs. Depths are
checked against the depth given on the core blocks and rod
counts are routinelycarried out bythe drillers.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Both RC and diamond drilling provide good recoveries and was
done to provide a good – excellent representation of the drilled
geological sequences. As dust suppression techniques were
used during the RC drilling, there is a very low possibility of
sampling bias.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Reverse circulation drilling provides a good representative sample
that can be geologically logged however only basic geotechnical
information can be collected. The diamond drilling was
undertaken as it provides greater geological and geotechnical
information. The quality of both drill types is deemed appropriate
for initial Mineral Resource estimation, mining and metallurgical
studies. Additional diamond drilling will be required to definitively
provide detailed geotechnical information.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging of drillholes at Nabarlek recorded lithology, mineralogy,
mineralisation, alteration, weathering, colour and other features of
the samples.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections
logged
All RC and diamond drillholes were logged in full.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
Dill core was cut and half core sampled.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
Reverse circulation bulk samples were collected on 1m intervals
and set out in a regular manner at the drill site. Selected intervals
were riffle split in the field from the initial bulk sample utilisinga

7

3-tiered splitter. Riffle split samples were forwarded to the
independent laboratory for analysis. A significant majority of the
samples were dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of
the sample preparation technique.
The sample preparation of both RC and diamond core samples
will follow industry best practice in sample preparation involving
oven drying, coarse crushing of the half core sample down to
~10mm followed by pulverisation of the entire sample (total prep)
using grindingmills to a grind size of85% passing75micron.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
Samples to be forwarded to the lab involve the use of certified
reference material as assay standards and barren blanks. The
insertion rate of this material is approximately1 in 25.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of
the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field
_duplicate/second-half sampling. _
Duplicate samples were also collected during the riffle split stage
and submitted to the lab as part of the QAQC.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate to correctly
represent the interval drilled. Approximately 3kg samples
submitted to the lab, with the process of riffle splitting the bulk RC
samples providing some homogenisation of the submitted
sample.
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
The proposed analytical techniques to be used will be a four acid
digest multi-element suite with ICP/OES or ICP/MS finish (50g
FA/MS for precious metals). The acids used are hydrofluoric,
nitric, perchloric and hydrochloric acids, suitable for silica based
samples. The method approaches total dissolution of most
minerals.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments,
etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including
instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors
_applied and theirderivation, etc. _
Cameco utilises a field scintillometer and downhole gamma
logger to detect possible anomalism in the drillhole. While this
data is recorded, only independent laboratory assay results are
reportedhere.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards,
blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
Sample preparation checks for fineness were carried out by the
laboratory as part of their internal procedures to ensure the grind
size of 85% passing 75 micron was being attained. Laboratory
QAQC involves the use of internal lab standards using certified
reference material, blanks, splits and replicates as part of the in
house procedures.
No external (third party) laboratory checks have been completed
to date.
Certified reference materials, having a good range of values,
were inserted blindly and randomly into the sample sequence.
Results highlight that sample assay values are accurate and that
contamination has been contained. Repeat or duplicate analysis
for samples reveals that precision of samples is within acceptable
limits.
Verification of sampling
and assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
Company policy is that a Director and/or the Company Secretary
of Uranium Equities to independently verify any reportable
significant intersections as compiled by the Geology Manager –
Exploration.
The use of twinned holes. NAD7492 is a diamond drillhole planned to twin or replicate the
initial significant mineralisation encountered in RC drillhole
NAR7389. The diamond drillhole provides a better quality
sample.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Primary data was collected using a standard set of drill logging
forms using lookup codes. All data was validated and
incorporated into the Company’s drillingdatabase.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. There has been no adjustment to assay data.
Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes (collar
and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other
locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Collar locations (including RL) for all holes were surveyed by
using a portable DGPS. Expected accuracy is ± 2m for easting
and northing and ± 5m for elevation coordinates.
Downhole surveys were collected during the course of the drilling
atregular(~50m)intervals.
Specification of the grid system used. The grid system for the Nabarlek Project is MGA94, Zone 53. All
co-ordinates based on portable DGPS readings (expected
accuracy is ±2m for easting and northing and ±5m for elevation
coordinates).

Quality and adequacy of topographic control. All co-ordinates based on portable DGPS readings (expected
accuracy is ±2m for easting and northing and ±5m for elevation
coordinates).
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Drillholes are targeting individual drill targets at various spacings.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
_classifications applied. _
Results to date are not appropriate for any sort of comment on
potential geological and grade continuity.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. No sample compositing has been done.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling
of possible structures and the extent to which this is known,
considering the deposit type.
Targets were drilled with angled drillholes and don’t adequately
reflect extent of mineralisation.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported
if material.
No orientation based sampling bias has been identified.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Company staff collects all laboratory samples. Chain of Custody
is managed by Cameco with samples submitted to the laboratory
transported and delivered byCompanystaff.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and
data.
Regular internal review and comparisons are made utilising
QAQC samples to confirm validity of sampling techniques.

Mineral tenement and land
tenure status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint
ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests,

The Nabarlek Project is located in the Arnhem Land Aboriginal
Reserve and is freehold Aboriginal land. Permission to explore
over Aboriginal freehold land is gained via Exploration
Agreements with the relevant Traditional Owners under the
Commonwealth Aboriginal Land Rights (NT) Act.
The Project is centred around the historical Nabarlek Mineral
Lease (MLN962) held 100% by Queensland Mines Pty Ltd, a fully
owned subsidiary of Uranium Equities Limited. In addition, the
Project includes 3 granted exploration licences (EL10176,
EL23700 and EL24371) and one exploration licence application
(ELA24878) held in the West Arnhem Joint Venture (WAJV)
between Cameco Australia Pty Ltd (60%) and GE Resources Pty
Ltd (40%), a wholly owned subsidiary of Uranium Equities
Limited. UEQ has an agreement to acquire Cameco’s remaining
60% interest in the WAJV by spending $2m on exploration by
31/08/2016. Uranium Equities currently has management of the
Project.
Uranium Equities has an approved Mine Management Plan
(MMP) with attached environmental security bond over both the
Nabarlek ML and the WAJV areas with the Northern Territory’s
Department of Mines andEnergy.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. The general area the subject of this report has been explored in
the past by various companies including Queensland Mines
Limited and Cameco Australia Pty Ltd. Uranium Equities has
reviewedpast exploration datagenerated bythese companies.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation The focus of exploration within the Nabarlek Project is the
discovery of additional high grade Nabarlek-style uranium
deposits. The Nabarlek Mine is one of the world-class uranium

9

deposits of the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field (ARUF) with other
similar deposits including Ranger and Jabiluka. Classically
known as Unconformity-style uranium deposits, they occur within
Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks of the Pine Creek Orogen,
within fracture/fault and breccia zones in proximity to
unconformable contacts with overlying platform cover
sedimentary rocks.
Recent developments suggest a strong structural control to
mineralisation may also be apparent.
In addition to uranium, significant gold, platinum and palladium
resources are present at existing uranium occurrences within the
Alligator Rivers Uranium Field (Ranger, Jabiluka, Koongarra and
Coronation Hill/South Alligator Valley-style deposits) suggesting
that economic mineralisation of gold and PGE’s (Platinum Group
Elements) associated with economic or sub-economic uranium
may also be presentwithintheProject area.
Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following
information for all material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.
Refer to Table 1.
Data aggregation methods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
_stated. _
Assay intercepts reported are calculated using the weighted
average grade, with a lower grade cut-off of 200ppm U3O8and
the interval may contain up to 2m of internal dilution. No top-cut
has beenapplied to theintercepts.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be shown indetail.
Where sub-intervals of higher grade (>1% U3O8) are contained in
an intercept, the higher grade portion is also disclosed in Table 1.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting exploration
results.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drillhole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole
_length, true width not known’). _
All intercepts are downhole lengths, true widths are not known.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being
reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view
_of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. _
Refer to figures in body of announcement.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
The outcome of all drillholes completed targeting the U40
Prospect is listed in Table 1.
Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
There is no other meaningful or material exploration data that has
been omitted from the report.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive
The report advises that further exploration results from additional
drilling completed at other mineralised zones is pending, and that
a follow‐up stage of step-out drilling in the area is warranted.
