Quarterly Activities & Cashflow Report Ending 30 September 2015

Activities Report for the Quarter Ended 30th December 2008



Quarterly Activities Report

For the Period Ended 30 September 2015


SUMMARY

  • Marenica is intent on piloting the disruptive U-pgradeTM process

  • First Stage Testwork programme on Toro ore completed, producing better than expected results

  • Marenica confidence in application of U-pgradeTM to Western Australian calcrete ores grows

  • Funding and partnering discussions with potential investors continuing


DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY

The U-pgradeTM process is a major breakthrough for processing surficial uranium deposits. The continued low uranium price is becoming more of a problem for much of the uranium industry, with many of the world's uranium producers reporting a loss at current spot prices. In these difficult times for the industry the time is right to be innovative and embrace disruptive technology like the U-pgradeTM process.

Marenica believes that the application of U-pgradeTM to surficial uranium projects provides a means for them to be developed and operated at significantly lower costs than would otherwise be the case, and potentially well below current development incentive prices allowing these projects to beat competing supply onto the market and enter the market in time for the expected recovery in uranium prices. Also U-pgradeTM provides an opportunity for existing producing mines to lower their costs and improve their margins, as well as make adjacent satellite deposits viable.

The Company considers the best approach to de-risk the U-pgradeTM process and build industry and investor confidence is to build and operate a pilot plant. The Company intends to build and operate a pilot plant on ore samples either sourced from its own Marenica deposit in Namibia or an alternate ore source pending outcomes from discussions with resource owners.

The potential application of U-pgradeTM to surficial uranium deposits is the Company's primary objective.


TESTWORK ON WESTERN AUSTRALIAN CALCRETE ORES

The testwork programme on the Toro Energy Limited ('Toro') ore sample continued during the quarter producing some outstanding results. The second stage produced excellent recoveries and rejected a large mass of gangue, and work on the third stage has generated sufficient data to suggest that a high grade concentrate could be produced from further testwork.

The testwork programme has now reached a natural pause point with an internal Marenica cost estimate being produced to demonstrate to Toro the expected benefits of U-pgradeTM. Discussions were in progress at the time of this report to determine the most suitable approach to progress this application of U-pgradeTM.

'The Toro U-pgradeTM testwork programme produced results beyond our expectations, dramatically increasing our confidence level in the application of U-pgradeTM to Australian calcrete uranium resources.

There are many of these, but up until now, there has been little incentive to explore for, or develop them.' said Murray Hill.


  1. GRADETM COMMERCIALISATION UPDATE

    Discussions are in progress with several other resource companies on how U-pgradeTM can be applied to their respective resources and the most appropriate platform to progress application of U-pgradeTM. The Company is also in discussion with investors on the structure of investment in U-pgradeTM and the Marenica Project.

    The Company has several corporate initiatives being developed that could potentially play an important role in the structure of subsequent funding stages. The pilot plant funding package will be finalised following the outcome of these initiatives.

    'The Company is looking forward to the events that could unfold during the next quarter, but notes that the current economic climate for resources could lengthen the process.' said Murray Hill.

      What is U-pgradeTM?

      Marenica has developed this potentially disruptive technology on ore samples from the Marenica Project in Namibia. The Company has demonstrated in bench scale testwork that it can concentrate the uranium from its low grade calcrete hosted uranium deposit in Namibia (Marenica). In summary, on that ore, U-pgradeTM has demonstrate that it;

    • Rejects ~98% of the mass prior to leaching

    • Concentrates the uranium by a factor of 50

    • Produces a high grade concentrate in a low mass of ~2% (leach feed)

    • Rejects acid consumers

    • Reduces operating costs by 50-70% and capital costs by 30-50% compared to conventional processing
