Marenica Energy strengthens Management Team

Marenica Energy is pleased to announce a number of important changes to its Management team.

Murray Hill has been appointed to the Board of Marenica Energy Limited as Managing Director effective immediately. He was appointed Chief Executive Officer in May 2012 and is the principal architect in the development and design of the Company's proprietary Uranium concentration process, U-pgradeTM. His remuneration will remain the same following this appointment to Managing Director.

Murray very effectively manages and applies the technical advice from the team of independent experts on the Technical Steering Committee in the ongoing development and application of U-pgradeTM. The Company is well served technically.

The Board consider it is time to strengthen the financial and commercial management of Marenica in the quest to commercialise U-pgradeTM. To this end it has appointed two experienced people to the management team, John Sestan as Chief Commercial Officer, and Riccardo Vittino as Chief Financial Officer. Their roles are part time and tailored to meet the Company's day to day needs while maintaining its low cost and flexible business model. The appointments are timely with increasing interest in U-pgradeTM being evident from resource owners and potential investors.

"I believe we now have in place the technical and commercial expertise to help realise Marenica's vision to commercialise U-pgradeTM and earn its fair share of the value add that U-pgradeTM can deliver to resource owners." said Doug Buerger Chairman.
