Bannerman Reports Further Drilling Results at the Etango Uranium Project

PERTH, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 15, 2009) - Bannerman Resources Limited (TSX:BAN)(ASX:BMN)(NSX:BAN) ("Bannerman" or the "Company") is pleased to report further drilling results at the Oshiveli and Onkelo Prospects within the Etango Uranium Project in Namibia, southern Africa. A full report complete with details of this recently completed drill program including supporting tables and graphics is available on the Company's website, www.bannermanresources.com; ASX, www.asx.com.au; and SEDAR, www.sedar.com.

Bannerman CEO Len Jubber said: "These new infill and extensional drilling results reflect the contiguous nature of the Etango deposit and the potential to ultimately extend the proposed open pit from Anomaly A to Onkelo. Importantly, the drilling program is achieving the objective of adding additional near-surface resources along the 6 kilometres of strike length."

An additional 35 reverse circulation ("RC") drillholes at the Oshiveli and Onkelo Prospects have returned further consistent results, with much of this mineralisation being at shallow depths. These drilling results are from the continuing program at the Oshiveli and Onkelo Prospects and are directed towards the completion of a further mineral resource estimate as part of the ongoing feasibility study work for the Etango Project. Highlights include:

Regulatory Disclosures:

Bannerman Resources Limited ("Bannerman") manages its drilling and assaying activities in accordance with industry standard quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures. Samples are collected by Bannerman personnel and prepared in accordance with specified procedures at the relevant assay laboratories. The primary assay laboratory is SGS in Johannesburg Laboratory site reviews are undertaken. Assay QA/QC involves the use of assay standards (sourced from African Mineral Standards (AMIS) in Johannesburg, made from Bannerman pulp rejects and cross-checked through umpire laboratories for which the round robin reports are available), field duplicates, blanks and barren quartz flushes. A third party "umpire" laboratory (Genalysis in Perth) is used to cross-check and validate approximately 5% of the assay results in accordance with standard procedures. Sample coarse rejects are retained and approximately 5% of samples are re-submitted for further assay verification. All sample pulps are retained at a storage facility in Johannesburg and half-core and rock-chip samples are retained at site.
