The processing and analysis of theMedusa airborne radiometric data for both the Folakara and Makay tenements began in late 2007 and
continued in 2008. The base line data was reprocessed to produce colour images of the uranium channel and
stacked profiles of the uranium and uranium / thorium ratio. From this data, a total of 29 anomalies at
Folakara and 21 anomalies in the Makay tenements were identified as being of interest for field
investigation. Two periods of helicopter supported field work were undertaken. This programme involved
conducting initial ground radiometrics and spot surface sampling on the identified anomalies at Folakara and
Makay that were identified from the airborne data. The programme at Folakara was successful in locating 28
(of the 29) identified targets. Ground traversing with a spectrometer was undertaken in the vicinity of the
anomaly, indicative assays taken with the spectrometer and in several cases grab surface samples collected.
Outcomes of this work include: several additional sites of potential mineralisation have been located
warranting further testing; the mineralisation is more widespread than previously understood; the assays
(spectrometer and laboratory) of the areas of interest highlight a strong correlation with vanadium and low
levels of thorium which is characteristic of uranium deposits; the work supports the earlier thesis of
mineralisation (deposits) at a grade of several hundred ppm U3O8. The programme at Makay was successfulin locating 16 (of the 21) identified targets, as a mechanical failure with the helicopter required the premature
cessation of the programme. The same process as undertaken at Folakara was carried out at Makay.
Outcomes of this work include: a large area of potential mineralisation is indicated by 5 sites in thenorth-east of the tenements over an area measuring approximately 50km x 10km, each of which has the
potential to host small/medium sized uranium deposits; mineralisation is of the right type with low thorium
and high vanadium; the occurrences are outcropping oxidised sandstones that lie above the water table; the
current assay results supports likely grades in the range of several hundred ppm U3O8.The Group advanced $1,998,311to UMC Energy plc (which holds an 80% interest in the project) under loan
facility agreements, to assist that company to meet its working capital requirements. The loan bears a 3%
drawdown fee, interest at 15% per annum on funds drawn, is secured by a negative pledge over UMC
Energy’s equity interest in the Morondava uranium project and is repayable within 60 days following a
demand by the Group.
As there is currently no clear expectation that the cost of the investment incurred to date will be recouped
through the sale or successful development of the project, the directors have taken a prudent view and
impaired this asset, giving rise to a total expense of $5,408,057.
