BAN Gives Torque to Uranium Prices

MIKE KOZAK, Cormark Securities Inc. (12/02/2010)
"Bannerman Resources is advancing its 80%-owned Etango open-pit uranium project forward in Namibia. The 213.0 MMlb resource still has room to grow, and we envisage the project ultimately producing up to 7.0 MMlb U3O8 per annum. That said, at 193ppm, the grade of Etango is comparatively low, and the economic viability of the project is dependent upon sustainably higher long-term uranium prices. . .Yesterday, Bannerman provided an update on the feasibility study at its Etango Uranium Project. The operation is expected to produce between 5 Mlbs and 7 Mlbs of U3O8 per annum over a +20-year mine life. Estimated average life of mine cash costs are $42/lb U3O8. . .Through H2/10, BAN identified two new satellite deposits close to Etango and drill targets immediately to the north of the Swakop River. Maintaining Market Perform Recommendation. . .[Etango] offers the greatest leverage and torque, relative to the rest of our uranium coverage universe, to higher commodity prices."
