Why Uranium? Why Now?Why Uranium? Why Now?Why Uranium? Why Now?Why Uranium? Why Now?

• Supply/demand imbalance results in higher prices

• Reactor demand growing as new plants being commissioned

• Expect uranium pricing to continue increasing in the short term

• High prices enable low grade deposits to become viable

• 439 operating reactors

• 34 new reactors in construction

• 93 reactors planned and 222 reactors proposed

• Reactors consuming 30,000 t U per year more than mining produces

• Supply-demand imbalance has led to higher prices

Leader in Uranium Leader in Uranium ProductionProduction

Leader in Uranium Leader in Uranium ProductionProduction

• 30 years of uranium mining operations

• Richest ore bodies in Africa. Comparable to Australia, but lower grade than deposits of

Canada’s Athabasca Basin

• 2006 production: 3,434 tonnes – 7 million lbs (ranked 4th in world production.

• Produces 12% of the world’s supply from two mines

• Two operating mines, managed by Areva

Agelal ConcessionAgelal ConcessionAgelal ConcessionAgelal Concession

• 33 Recon holes drilled in 1977 by Cogema

• Previous work was successful in identifying a broad 10 km long paleochannel with highly anomalous uranium values

• Favourable channel geology extends from Arlit mine area towards Agelal concession

• Potential for Arlit-type mineralization or larger tonnage, low grade deposit

• Initial 2008 drilling intersecting gamma log values up to 0.31% eU3O8 from 68 m depths
