The information in this PRESENTATION that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr K Lines who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Lines is an employee of Eromanga Uranium Limited. He has more than five years of relevant experience in the style of mineralisation and types of deposit under consideration and consents to inclusion of the information in this report in the form and context in which it appears. He qualifies as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. exploration targets

Exploration Targets are reported according to Clause 18 of the JORC Code. This means that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and that considerable further exploration, is necessary before any Identified Mineral Resource can be reported. It is uncertain if further exploration will lead to a larger, smaller or any Mineral Resource.

suPlejaCk

  • The Suplejack Project consists of a single Exploration Licence of 168 sq km over Proterozoic basement rocks prospective for both uranium and gold.

  • Basement sequence is covered by a thin veneer of more recent Gardiner Sandstone and Antrim Plateau Basalts preventing conventional geochemical exploration.

  • Geology shares many similarities with the rocks which host the Callie Gold Mine to the south, and unconformity uranium deposits of the Alligator Rivers region.
