Why West Africa? Established mining region and culture Highly prospective – minimal exploration for uranium Good access and infrastructure Stable economic and social environment Ability to secure large tracts of exploration acreage Increasing levels of international mining investment

Republic of Mauritania – Key Advantages Numerous historic uranium prospects within Reguibate Massive –part of West Africa Shield Availability of recent airborne geophysical data and geological maps from World Bank’s “PRISM 1” project Uranium anomalies identified from digital airborne data and processing radiometric line data interpreted in Sweden 10 “group 4” uranium exploration permits issued covering 13,195km 2 Radiometric logging from initial drilling returned grades of up to 18,280ppm eU 3 O 8 (1.83%) Potential to secure additional exploration licences

Bir En Nar Region episyenite French drilling early 1980s 200 km Mauritania - Bir En Nar Region 4,000m drilling programme Dec 2007 Up to 18,280 ppm eU 3 O 8 from downhole radiometric logging. Resource drilling planned for H

Mauritania - Bir En Nar Region World-class high grade opportunity. Results of December 2007 drill programme include: Drill Hole RCSection From (m) Intersection Thickness (m) eU3O8 (ppm) BNR ,750 BNR ,180 BNR ,250 BNR ,060 BNR ,280 BNR ,310 BNR ,100 BNR ,500 BNR ,100 BNR ,140

Republic of Guinea Eight Uranium Prospecting Permits over three separate concession areas: –Firawa –Bohoduo –Sesse Bohoduo: anomaly extended a further 12km initial drilling completed July 2008, awaiting assays Firawa: encouraging assay results from initial drilling in May ,000m resource drilling program commenced October 2008

Republic of Guinea – Firawa Prospect Previous exploration using detailed ground spectrometry, EM, magnetic measurements and soil geochemistry by Davy McKee Field visits confirmed 25-year-old deep pits and trenches Identified anomaly extends over 5km Initial drilling completed in May 2007, further 4000m diamond drilling commenced October 2008 aiming to delineate initial JORC compliant resource in H Encouraging assay results received. Awaiting further analysis to assess optimal methods of uranium extraction

Republic of Guinea – Firawa Prospect Resource drilling programme currently underway

Republic of Guinea – Firawa Prospect Results of May 2007 drilling programme include:

Republic of Guinea – Bohoduo Prospect 700m long anomaly identified from previous work Limited diamond drilling and extensive ground work completed historically Uranium mineralisation confirmed in 2006 site visit Airborne geophysical data indicates a 12 km long extension to the east 1,000m initial drilling completed July 2008, awaiting assay results

Republic of Guinea – Bohoduo Prospect Initial 1,000m drilling programme completed July 2008

Australian Projects Maroochydore JV Copper Project - WA Millenium Copper Project - Queensland

Maroochydore Copper Project 50% JV with Aditya Birla Minerals Limited – project operator Scoping study completed by Aditya Birla JORC Code compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 41.2 million tonnes at a grade of 0.8% copper and 0.04% cobalt 0.33 million tonnes of contained copper and 16,500 tonnes contained cobalt (at a 0.5% Cu cutoff) Reviewing options to realise value

Millennium Copper Project Historic mining leases 35km north-west of highly prospective Cloncurry mineral province Recent independent geological review Copper and cobalt potential Reviewing options to progress exploration

Outlook – 2008/09 Focus on West African uranium strategy Cooperation Agreement with Areva to accelerate uranium exploration & development in Mauritania. Aim to delineate 60-80Mlb U 3 O 8 resource within 2 years then consider entering JV agreement Major uranium exploration programmes continuing: –Mauritania: initial drilling at Bir En Nar completed December 2007, downhole logging results up to 18,280ppm eU 3 O 8, follow-up drilling planned H –Guinea: initial drilling at Firawa completed May 2007, 4000m follow-up drilling at Firawa underway, initial drilling at Bohoduo completed July 2008 –JORC resources: aim to identify initial JORC resources at Bir En Nar and Firawa during 1 st half 2009 Continue to expand West African uranium portfolio Assess options to realise value from Australian copper assets Other strategic acquisition/joint venture opportunities

Disclosure DISCLOSURE NOTES The information in this report that relates to exploration results in West Africa is based on information compiled by Mr. Bosse Gustafsson, who is a member of the European Federation of Geologists a Recognised Overseas Professional Organisation (“ROPO”). Mr Bosse Gustafsson is a full time Technical Director of Forte Energy NL and is responsible for exploration activities in Mauritania and Guinea. Mr Gustafsson has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and the type of deposit under consideration and to the activity, which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve’. Mr Gustafsson consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears. Down hole gamma logging/probing of drill holes provides a powerful tool for uranium companies to explore for, and evaluate, uranium deposits. Such a method measures the natural gamma rays emitted from material surrounding a drill hole out to around 0.5 metre from its centre - the gamma probe is therefore capable of sampling a much larger volume than that which would normally be recovered from a core or RC hole. These measurements are used to estimate uranium concentrations with the commonly accepted initial assumption being that the uranium is in (secular) equilibrium with its daughter products (or radio-nuclides) which are the principal gamma emitters. If uranium is not in equilibrium (viz. in disequilibrium) – as a result of the redistribution (depletion or enhancement) of uranium and/or its daughter products – then the true uranium concentration in the holes logged using the gamma probe will be higher or lower than those reported in the announcement. Total count gamma logging does not account for energy derived from thorium and potassium but is calibrated on the uranium band and factor applied to account for the average effect of thorium and potassium and thus the result is expressed as an equivalent value or ppm eU308. The logging programme was undertaken by Poseidon Geophysics (Pty) Ltd utilising an Auslog Logging System using instruments calibrated at Pelindaba, South Africa, an IAEA accepted and approved standard facility. Data was converted from raw counts per second of natural gamma rays to eU3O8 using the calibration constant obtained from measurements made at the Pelindaba calibration borehole. Poseidon Geophysics carried out regular checks to validate the accuracy of probe data using a test hole, BNR14, located on site. Uranium mineralisation grades through this report annotated with a sub-prefix ‘e’ have been reported as uranium equivalent grades derived from down-hole gamma ray logging results and should be regarded as approximations only. The information in this report which relates to the Mineral Resource for the Maroochydore project is based on and accurately reflects reports prepared by Mr Geoff Bullen (MAIG). Mr Bullen has the necessary experience relevant to the style of mineralisation, the type of deposit and the activity undertaken to qualify as a ‘Competent Person’ under the JORC Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (2004 Edition). Mr Bullen has given his consent to the inclusion of the material in the form and context in which it appears. Mr Bullen is an employee of Aditya Birla Minerals Ltd.
