The Republic of Niger – Uranium Country World’s 6 th largest uranium-producing nation 50 years of uninterrupted uranium exports on highway across GoviEx tenements 2011 Presidential Election lauded by independent observers and the EU President Issoufou, elected on platform of job creation, mining background Cominak Mill & Somair Mine near Arlit, adjacent to GoviEx’s Madaouela Project Mining accounts for 50-70% of export revenues, national priority for job creation Well established infrastructure Mining Code encourages FDI 3

GoviEx Licenses in Niger’s Mining Heart 4

Partners for the Future Partners for the Future 2007 – Commenced operations focused on building local team 2008 – Signed Strategic Partnership with Cameco Corporation 2009 – Expanded exploration program at Madaouela, close to Arlit 2010 – Completed Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) 2011 – Surpass 400,000m of drilling and updated resource estimate 2012 – Signed Strategic Financing and off-take agreement with Toshiba 2013 – Completed Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 5

Uranium resources (millions of pounds) $85 million raised to fund acquisitions and exploration $25 million raised (historical resource) $40 million strategic financing with Toshiba Corporation What We’ve Done - So Far… 537% increase in resources 122M lbs U308 6

Madaouela Project Licenses Renewed Madaouela 1, 2, 3, 4 and Anou Melle permits in Nov 2012, extended for a further 36 months Agal and Era reapplied for in Nov 2012, issuance expected Q

Madaouela Project “Pearls on a String” Marianne-Marilyn – sub horizontal tabular body 5km by 2km in plan, thickness 0.2 to over 2m (average thickness ~ 1m). Mineralization depths 30m to 120m Maryvonne - smaller body similar in depth and thickness to Marianne-Marilyn MSNE – Sub horizontal tabular body spans approx 2km by 2.5km, occurs at depths from 120 to 160m with an average thickness of 1 to 2m Miriam is a tabular body approximately 1.4km by 0.7km. Mineralization thickness is approx 20 to 25m at depths from 60m to 80m 10

Summary of the classified mineral resources in accordance with CIM guidelines for Madaouela Project using cut- Off: 0.4 kg/t eU March 14, 2013 *On November 22, 2012, GoviEx submitted to the Niger authorities a license application covering certain portions of the original Madaouela I and IV licences surface areas that were excluded from the renewed licences granted on November 2, GoviEx has been advised that the two applications for the excluded areas of Madaoula I and IV will be approved, but is awaited at the time of writing its applications, and hence has not adjusted its resources to account for any potential changes. However, it should be noted that resources associated with MSEE, and La Banane would be materially affected, and to a limited extent Miriam’s resources would be affected should GoviEx not be successful in its application.

Ore reserves CIM mineral reserve statement (June 7 th, 2013) for the Madaouela deposit * * Open Pit Mineral Reserves for Miriam are reported within a designed pit shell at a cut-off grade of 0.41 kg/t eU. Cut-off grades are based on a price of USD 70 per pound of U 3 O 8 (USD 154 /kg U 3 O 8 ) and uranium recoveries of 84.4 %, without considering revenues from other metals. Note Mineral Reserves are based on both Measured and Indicated Resources. Underground Mineral Reserves for MSNE-Maryvonne are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.48 kg/t eU for MSNE-Maryvonne. Cut-off grades are based on a price of USD 70 per pound of U 3 O 8 (USD 154 /kg U 3 O 8 ) and uranium recoveries of 84.4 %, without considering revenues from other metals. Note Mineral Reserves are based on both Measured and Indicated Resources. Underground Mineral Reserves for Marianne Marilyn are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.60 kg/t eU for Marianne Marilyn, higher than the estimated cut-off grade 0.48 kg/t eU. On November 22, 2012, GoviEx submitted to the Niger authorities an application covering certain portions of the original Madaouela I and IV licences surface areas that were excluded from the renewed licences granted on November 2, GoviEx has been advised that the two applications for the excluded areas of Madaoula I and IV will be approved, but is awaited at the time of writing, and hence has not adjusted its reserves to account for any changes. However, it should be noted that to a limited extent Miriam’s resources and hence reserves would be impacted should GoviEx not be successful in its application. Ore reserves are mlb U 3 O 8 Accounts for dilution, mining losses and stope design losses Based on June 2013 IDP cash costs, still to be revised for lower Sept IDP costs 14

Mine Designs Mining units above cut-off grade for Marianne-Marilyn at a minimum mining height of 1.8 m (conventional mining) Miriam final pit shell and block model (Green measured, Blue Indicated) 15

Two optimization options were analyzed with potential to be applied to the base case process design improving project economics: Ablation to upgrade the leach feed material by removal of associated feed waste material resulting in higher grade and lower mass of leach feed Cyanex 600 solvent to improve molybdenum and uranium separation and recovery at lower pH, enabling removal of IX plant Project Optimisation 16

Ablation Testwork Pre-Ablation material (crushed, screened) ROM mm Post-Ablation material fraction post ablation 17

Ablation Results Mesh Size 18 Completed three large scale bench tests on Miriam ore Recovery of 93% of contained Uranium in 36% of the total mass Molybdenum recovery of 71% Secondary recovery optimisations to be reviewed

New solvent extraction approach developed for copper industry to remove molybdenum and uranium Testwork focussed on a sequential strip to produce separate molybdenum and uranium streams at high acidity/low pH Results indicate two stage strip for both molybdenum and uranium Forecast recovery of 99% for uranium and 99% for molybdenum IX plant no longer required Saleable molybdenum oxide by-product produced (< 50 ppm U) Cyanex 600 Solvent 19

Modifications to IDP Circuit: Improve milling circuit post ROS to ensure p80 < 5mm and screens at 20 microns Insert three stage Ablation unit with screens post ROS Two stage acid leach circuit reduced in size by 64% Remove Ion Exchange circuit Increase Solvent Extraction circuit to have five strip streams Precipitation, drying and packaging plant for molybdenum oxide Precipitation, drying and packaging plant for uranium oxide Total Uranium Recovery 83.0% vs 84.4% in IDP Smaller simplified plant Process Updates 20
