not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of uranium, the estimation of mineral resources, the realization of mineral resources estimates, the timing and

amount of estimated future production, costs of completing recommended work programs, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of the deposits,

success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, ability to continue as a going concern, competition, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional

capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, outcome of legal proceedings, political instability, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title

disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such

as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or

variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-

economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; risks related to international operations; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of

reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of uranium, grade or recovery

rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: This presentation uses the terms “Measured”,

“Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States

Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their

economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian

rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume

that all or any part of Inferred Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Measured or Indicated Resources or into Mineral Reserves. United States

investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

Definitive Feasibility Study Results

Based on a milling rate of 3,500 tpd the mine will produce an average

of 3.0 million lbs of U3O8/yr over a 15 year life.

The project assumes a U3O8 price of $65 per lb and an initial capital

cost of US$333 million which generates a net cash flow of US$909

million.

The project has an IRR of 29.1% and an NPV of US$288 million,

assuming a 10% discount.

Initial capital cost is US$333 million

The operating cost is US$58.26 per tonne or US$23.22 per lb U3O8
