Bannerman Resources Limited Quarterly Activities Report For the Period Ended 30 September 2014

PERTH, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - Oct 30, 2014) - Bannerman Resources Ltd. (ASX:BMN)(TSX:BAN)(NAMIBIAN:BMN) ("Bannerman") is pleased to announce highlights from its September 2014 Quarterly Activities Report released today. The full report is available on Bannerman's website at www.bannermanresources.com and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

During the September 2014 quarter, Bannerman Resources Ltd. (ASX:BMN)(TSX:BAN)(NAMIBIAN:BMN) maintained its focus on cash preservation and activities that will enable fast tracking a commitment to the development of the Etango project in a rising uranium price environment.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Award of major contracts to construct and operate the Etango Heap Leach Demonstration Plant.
• Commencement of construction activities at the demonstration plant site post quarter-end.
• Uranium price increased by approximately 30%.
• Bannerman's cash balance as at 30 September 2014 was A$4.7 million.

On 22 September 2014 Bannerman announced award of the major contracts to construct and operate the Etango heap leach demonstration plant. Activities at the site commenced in early October and construction is scheduled for completion in early 2015. Award of the major contracts followed completion of a competitive tendering process, as well as receipt of the Environmental Clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. The capital cost is estimated at A$1.4 million.

Operation of the plant for at least 12 months will enable demonstration of the heap leach design at a larger scale, as well as provide input data for detailed engineering of the processing plant. First results are expected in the June quarter, 2015.

Bannerman's Chief Executive Officer, Len Jubber, said:

"Bannerman's commitment to the Etango heap leach demonstration plant program, with the support of our major shareholder RCF via the investment from its Fund VI, will enhance our early mover advantage and ability to fast-track the development of the Etango project in a rising uranium price environment."

"It is noteworthy that the spot price of uranium has increased approximately 30% to a high of US$36.50 per lb U₃O₈ in the past quarter, from an 8 year low of US$28.25 per lb U₃O_8."

"The long awaited restart of Japanese reactors took a significant step forward on 27 October 2014 with the granting of approval by the local authority concerned for the restart of Sendai 1 & 2 reactors."

"There is general investor awareness that a looming supply shortfall will require a higher spot price to incentivise supply. There is less awareness that a key contributor to the impending supply deficit is the number of years it will take to bring new significant projects into production, due to the lengthy technical, permitting and construction timeframes involved."

Bannerman's advanced Etango Project remains one of the very few globally significant uranium projects that can realistically be brought into production in the medium term.

Mineral Resources that are not Ore Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Bannerman Resources Ltd. ("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. Drill samples were analysed for uranium by the Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Swakopmund, Namibia. Bureau Veritas is an International Laboratory Group with operations in 140 countries, including Ultratrace and Amdel in Australia. 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, half-core and rock-chip samples are retained at Bannerman's Goanikontes Warehouse Facility (GWS) on site.
