The company’s mineral resources as at March 2, 2016 are classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’s “CIM Definition Standards - For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves” in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects" (the Instrument). Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reflect the company's reasonable expectation that all necessary permits and approvals will be obtained and maintained. (1kg/t eU3O8=0.1% eU3O8). The “e” symbol denotes that resource estimation is based on spectrometer data obtained in the field and confirmed by a smaller number of samples by laboratory chemical analysis.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have to demonstrate economic viability. Mineral resources are subject to infill drilling, permitting, mine planning, mining dilution and recovery losses, among other things, to be converted into mineral reserves. Due to the uncertainty associated with inferred mineral resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to indicated or measured mineral resources, including as a result of continued exploration.

The Mineral Resource Statement was prepared by John Arthur, FGS, CGeol (CP) and Peter Gleeson FAusIMM (CP) of SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd, both are Qualified Persons as defined by the CIM Code.

* Underground Mineral Reserves for M&M and MSNE-Maryvonne are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.60 kg/t eU. Cut-off grades are based on a price of USD 50 /lb of U3O8 and uranium recoveries of 89.3%, without considering revenues from other metals. Note Mineral Reserves include both Measured and Indicated Resources.

**Open Pit Mineral Reserves are reported within a designed pit shell at a cut-off grade of 0.3 kg/t eU. Cut-off grades are based on a price of USD 50 /lb of U3O8 and uranium recoveries of 93.0%, without considering revenues from other metals. Note Mineral Reserves include both Measured and Indicated Resources.

The Qualified Person responsible for the declaration of Mineral Reserves is Tim McGurk, Corporate Consultant (Mining). Tim is a full time employee of SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd, a Fellow of the IOM3 and has the required experience in reporting Mineral Reserve statement relevant to the Madaouela Project.

Notes:

  • Mineral Resources have not been constrained by pit shells, however, almost all of the mineralisation occurs within 125 m of surface with uranium grades which are, in general, considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction by open pit mining.
  • The cut-off grade used for reporting the Mineral Resource is 100 ppm U3O8, which is applied directly to block model cells.
  • No U3O8 ppm cut-off is applied to block model cells for reporting the Mineral Resource. However, the outer limits block model was constrained within a 100 ppm U3O8 wireframe used for geological modelling.

Notes:

  • CIM definitions were followed for classification of Mineral Resources
  • Reported above a cut-off grade of 0.03% U308, based on a uranium price of US$75/lb
  • Bulk density is 2.65 t/m3
  • Numbers may not add due to rounding

The company’s mineral resources as at October 26, 2015 are classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’s “CIM Definition Standards - For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves" in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects" (the Instrument). Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reflect the company's reasonable expectation that all necessary permits and approvals will be obtained and maintained.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have to demonstrate
