in such statements.

All historical resource estimates were completed prior to the implementation of NI 43-

the resource or reserve, they should not be relied upon or considered a defined

Certain of the technical information contained herein is derived from the September 15,2015 report entitled “Technical Report on the Preliminary Economic Assessment of the

Patterson Lake South Property, Northern Saskatchewan, Canada” (the “PEA”) – a copy of which is filed on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Readers should

be aware that the PEA is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to

them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. The PEA considers the PLS

project as a stand-alone mine and mill operation, which includes development and extraction of the R00E and R780E zones (Triple R deposit) and that the PEA study is based on a number

of qualifications and assumptions including the following (all values in C$ unless otherwise noted):

Physicals:

• Three years of pre-production and 14 year mine life, processing nominally 1,000 tonnes per day (350,000 tonnes per year)

• Total Tonnes Processed: 4.8 million tonnes at 1.00% U3O8 average grade; open pit mining of 1.56 million tonnes at 2.21% U3O8

• Underground mining of 3.25 million tonnes at 0.42% U3O8

• Process recovery of 95%, supported by metallurgical testwork

• Production of 100.8 million lbs U3O8; an average of 13 million lbs U3O8 per year for 6 years, followed by an average of 3 million lbs U3O8 per year for 8 years

Revenue:

• Long term uranium price of US$65 / lb U3O8

• Exchange rate of 0.85 US$ / C$1.00

• Gross revenue of $7.71 billion, less Saskatchewan gross revenue royalties of $556 million

• Less product transportation charges of $34 million

• Net revenue of $7.12 billion

Operating Costs

• Average OPEX of $16.50/lb (US$14.02/lb) U3O8 over the life of mine

• Unit Operating Costs of $346 per tonne processed. Combined Mining $154 per tonne processed

• Processing: $114 per tonne processed

• Surface and G&A: $78 per tonne processed

• Operating cash flow of $5.45 billion

Capital Costs

• Pre-Production capital costs of $1.1 billion

• Open pit mining $363 million (includes dyke, slurry wall, and overburden removal)

• Process plant $198 million

• Infrastructure $117 million

• Indirects $209 million

• Contingency $208 million

• Sustaining capital costs of $189 million (includes completion of overburden stripping, all underground mine capital costs, and tailings dam lifts)

• Reclamation and closure cost of $50 million

• Cash flow from operations of $4.12 billion

Indicated 81.1M lbs at 1.83% U3O8

Inferred 27.2M lbs at 1.57% U3O8

Early Days at PLS: Triple R Deposit & New Zones

“The length is now 2.63 km, well beyond that of even Cigar Lake (1.95 km) or McArthur

River (1.70 km) – such a lateral extent to us underlines the magnitude of the strength of

the mineralizing system at PLS.”
