DIRECTORS’ REPORT

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011

During the period the Company completed the initial metallurgical test work study and an Independent NI 43-101 report. The maiden indicated resource of 16.2 million tonnes at 373.4 ppm (using a 300 ppm cut off) for 12.1 million pounds (lbs) Rare Earth Elements (“REE”) and an inferred resource of 112 million tonnes at 371 .5 ppm (using a 300 ppm cut off) for 83.5 million pounds (lbs) REE was announced.

The total resource currently stands at 128.2 million tonnes at 371.5 ppm for 95.6 million pounds (lbs) REE.

Further, preliminary test work to date is most encouraging, with overall TREO (“Total Rare Earth Oxides“) recovery of 68.1% after concentration to an average grade of 1248 ppm.

A second stage metallurgical study commenced and a second phase diamond drilling programme commenced in the December quarter. Results of these studies and the drilling are pending and we expect to receive them in the first quarter of 2012.

2. Continued to advance the Company’s uranium projects.

During the half year an Independent NI 43-101 report was completed at the Rio Puerco uranium project. The comprehensive report confirmed the inferred resource of 11.3 million pounds grading 900ppm using a 300 ppm cut off, identified potential to increase the current resource and confirmed potential for insitu recovery (“ISR”) mining.

Other work performed during the quarter on the Company’s uranium projects included exploration and permitting work completed at Lone Star JV as well as continued project and property evaluation undertaken in Texas.

3. Advanced the San Marcos gold project.

During the period a second phase, 5 hole, 878 metre diamond drill programme and an Independent NI 43-101 report was completed.

4. Continued to advance the White Picacho specialty metals projects.

During the period a number of samples were sent to SRC for metallurgical/extractive test work which will commence this quarter; and a detailed report on the sampling programme carried out at the White Picacho property in 2011 has been prepared and is currently being reviewed by the Company.

5. Continued to pursue the strategy of seeking a North American listing.

During the period the Company advanced its efforts to be listed in North America in addition to its ASX listing. The Company is now trading ADR’s on the highest tier of the OTC market, OTC.QX–New York; (ticker: MNOMY). Leading market agency Standard and Poor’s has commenced coverage of the Company.

Subsequent events

On 3rd February 2012, the company announced it has signed a term sheet to raise new capital for the company totaling up to $3,420,000, consisting of;

1. A placement of ordinary shares priced at the then market price (5.8 cents),

2. Placement of unsecured convertible notes; and

3. A commitment to purchase ordinary shares for a 12 month period

The investment is provided by The Australian Special Opportunity Fund, LP, an institutional investment fund managed by The Lind Partners LLC; a New York City based, alternative asset Management Company. The facility will provide a maximum of $3,420,000 of funding to the company over 12 months.

An initial issue of 862,069 ordinary shares at A$0.058 per share was issued on 2 February 2012 to ASOF on execution of the term sheet. On 29 February 2012, the Company announced that it had issued a further 536,308 ordinary shares, 600,000 options exercisable at A$0.0595 per Option into Ordinary Shares on or before 1 March 2015, and a A$300,000 Convertible Security on signing of the final executed agreement. As a result, the initial tranche of $350,000 was received by the Company at the beginning of March 2012.

The funds will enable the company to continue the development of the La Paz Rare Earth project located in Arizona as well as the other company assets which include the White Picacho specialty metals (Li, Ta, Ni, Rb & Cs) project in Arizona, it’s various uranium projects and the San Marcos gold project, all located in mining friendly jurisdictions in the USA.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011

The company also announced that regrettably, it has temporarily suspended its pursuit of a TSXV listing. The company has spent 12 months and considerable time and effort attempting to dual list on the TSX initially and then on the TSXV and received conditional listing status for the TSXV in December 2011 but continues to experience delays in gaining a full, unconditional listing.

As a result of these delays coupled with a falling share price the Company made the decision that rather than incur the uncertainty and ongoing costs of continuing this process, we will instead focus on developing our assets.

The Company will reassess the situation in a few months when hopefully market conditions have improved and we have received positive results of the test work study on our La Paz REE project; both events which should lead to an improved share price and market capitalization of our company.

Some consolation to this is the Company has recently gained admission to commence trading on the OTC.QX in New York, therefore fulfilled its goal of having a North American trading platform for investors from this region.

The Company also announced that Simon Jackson and Greg Barns have retired from the Board of Directors. The Board of the Company formed the view that faced with on-going difficult market conditions and no immediate TSXV listing, the size of the Board needed to be reduced. In addition to these Board changes Nerida Schmidt will step down as Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer. This role will be filled by the Executive Chairman Jim Malone. We thank Nerida, Simon and Greg for their contribution to our company.

The Company recognizes that it needs to reduce overheads whilst continuing to develop projects as we head into uncertain times in 2012. We have recently managed to bring about changes to the budget resulting in a reduction in the Company “burn rate” to approximately $100,000 per month by March 2012 going forward and these measures, in conjunction with the new funding provided by Lind Partners, will enable the company to operate throughout the 2012 year and beyond whilst continuing to develop our highly prospective resource projects.
