DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007

Your directors submit the interim financial report of the consolidated entity for the half-year ended 31 December 2007.

Directors

The names of directors who held office during or since the end of the half-year:

  • Mr Robert Michael Kennedy (Chairman) Director & Chairman since 29 March 2006

  • � Mr Kevin James Lines Director since 29 March 2006 � Dr Kevin John Anson Wills Director since 29 March 2006 � Mr Ewan John Vickery Director since 29 March 2006 � Mr Adam Bannister (Alternate for E J Vickery) Alternate Director since 22 May 2006

Review of Operations

The Board of Eromanga Uranium Limited are extremely pleased with the positioning of the company at the end of 2007. All the significant milestones targeted by the company in its first year of operations have been achieved and the overall quality of the exploration portfolio has been significantly enhanced.

Over 22,000 line/km of airborne EM surveys have been completed with full coverage achieved on our major projects at Marree, Abminga/Abminga East, Billa Kalina and Kingoonya. These surveys have already identified new palaeodrainage systems at Marree and Abminga and have validated a critical element of the company’s exploration approach. Initial orientation drilling has been completed at Marree and the first phase of drill testing of the expansive palaeodrainage system at Atlas/Baco will commence early in 2008. In-house processing of EM data is continuing in Adelaide and this significant investment by the company in regional geophysical data is proving to be of great strategic value.

The company’s Northern Gawler Craton Initiative has led to the securing of granted tenure over the exciting IOCGU targets at the Welbourn Hill and Nicholson Projects, in the Marla region of far northern South Australia. Deep diamond drill testing of Welbourn Hill will commence in early February 2008 with an initial program involving two holes to 800m depth. In parallel with the Welbourn Hill drilling the company has contracted for the completion of a detailed ground gravity survey over the Nicholson anomaly in mid-February 2008.

The company is well positioned to undertake an extensive exploration program throughout 2008. Eromanga Uranium continues to maintain a very strong focus on exploration within South Australia and the Northern Territory where we believe that the exploration potential is excellent and the opportunity to benefit from discovery success is greatest.

Overall the foundations laid by the company in 2007 have positioned Eromanga Uranium for a very dynamic 2008.

Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, Grant Thornton, to provide the directors of Eromanga Uranium Limited with an Independence Declaration in relation to the review of the half-year financial report. This Independence Declaration is made on the following page.

TO THE MEMBERS OF EROMANGA URANIUM LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Report on the half-year financial report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Eromanga Uranium Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled (the consolidated entity), which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2007, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, a description of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration. The consolidated entity comprises both the Eromanga Uranium Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled during that half-year.

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of the consolidated entity are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including the Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagement ASRE 2410: Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2007 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF EROMANGA URANIUM LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES (cont)

Auditor’s responsibility (cont)

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Eromanga Uranium Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including :

  • a Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2007 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date.

  • b Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
