PROJECTS UPDATE

2012 Slide 10

NON CORE PROJECTS

Royal exited the Pilbara on the basis of the stranded nature of the

prospects and the lack of size potential

The Warriedar Iron and Gold JVs were exited for a total consideration of

$8 million, alleviating the need for capital raising during the year

Successfully finalised the disposal of the bulk of our US uranium assets to

TSX listed Aldershot Resources Ltd

Buyers are being sought for the Fields Find and Water Tank tenements in

WA, with only minor field work been undertaken during the year

Drilling on our NT uranium tenements did not return any significant

results with work now being curtailed going into the wet season
