This presentation may contain forward-looking information including expectations of future production, operating costs, commodity prices, administrative costs, commodity price risk management activity, acquisitions and dispositions, capital spending, access to credit facilities, income taxes, regulatory changes, and other components of cash flow and earnings. Attendees are cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information may prove to be incorrect. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the company. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with the mining industry, commodity prices and exchange rate changes. Industry related risks could include, but are not limited to, operational risks in exploration, development and production, delays or changes in plans, risks associated to the uncertainty of reserve estimates, health and safety risks and the uncertainty of estimates and projections of production, costs and expenses. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information.

Attendees are further cautioned that the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Estimating reserves is also critical to several accounting estimates and requires judgments and decisions based upon available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data. These estimates may change, having either a negative or positive effect on net earnings as further information becomes available, and as the economic environment changes.

• Uranium City produced approx 77 million lbs from 1954 to 1982; average grade = 0.250% (5 lbs per ton).

• The camp was closed due to poor economics not due to an exhaustion of ore. “Due to economic restraints throughout the history of operation, many of the best

exploration targetswere shelved.” (D.M. Ward, Senior Staff Geologist, Beaverlodge Mine Closure Report, Eldorado

NuclearLimited, October 1982)

• Operating costs in Uranium City are low due to existing infrastructure.

• 18 million pounds U308 of un-mined resource sitting under Government of Saskatchewan Crown Reserve within meters of Red Rock ground.
