Australia

• Significant producer with largest known resources • Long history of uranium mining but highly political issue • History of anti-uranium policies: “no new mine policy” • Queensland & WA recently lifted production moratoriums • Production moratoriums still in place in NSW & Victoria • Aboriginal issues a consideration

U.S.

• Production from 1 conventional mill and several ISL operations • Consumes 50mm lbs / year, produces 5mm lbs / year - HEU

well for related policy • Moratoriums in Virginia, Navajo Reservations, Grand Canyon

Good 4.6mm 3.0% 4% 100

Africa • Production concentrated in Niger and Namibia • Strong political support in Namibia • Recent extremist activity in Niger places uncertainty on supply • Typically large, low-grade deposits

es Supply-side impact of post-Fukushima uranium price weakness has really begun to rear its head

− Until recently, planned development projects have been main victims - Trekkopje, Imouraren, ODX, etc. − However, late November saw significant reduction of production guidance form existing mines – Kazatomprom,

ARMZ/Uranium One, Energy Fuels, etc. − Continued supply management and growth curtailment will be a prevailing theme in current price environment

Anemic mining equity capital markets also contributing to supply-side uncertainty − Delayed projects being pushed back further − Juniors' ability to progress exploration and development projects severely impaired

Forecasted supply deficit starting in 2017 and growing rapidly − Deficit widens to 16mm lbs by 2020 and 52mm lbs by 2025 − Further mine closures and recent events could see forecasted supply deficits being brought forward to 2015 or 2014

− Incident at Rio Tinto’s Ranger Mine could lead to prolonged or indefinite closure − Potential for Kayelekera and Rössing to fall victim to current price environment

Japanese inventory reduction and timing on reactor restarts remains the main near-term issue Source: Raymond James, Kivalliq
