participating investors is a powerful endorsement of the Etango project and our corporate strategy.”
“This capital raising resolves the last funding hurdle for Bannerman as we move towards a Final

ABOUT BANNERMAN ENERGY (ASX:BMN, NSX:BMN, OTCQX:BNNLF)
Bannerman Energy Ltd is a uranium development business listed on the Australian and Namibian stock
exchanges and traded on the OTCQX Market in the US. Its flagship asset is the advanced Etango Uranium
Project located in the Erongo Region of Namibia.
Etango has benefited from extensive exploration and feasibility activity over the past 15 years. The Etango
tenement possesses a globally large-scale uranium mineral resource1
. In December 2022, a Definitive
Feasibility Study (DFS)2
was completed on the Etango-8 Project, confirming to a definitive-level the strong
technical and economic viability of conventional open pit mining and heap leach processing of the Etango
deposit at 8Mtpa throughput (for average annual output of 3.5 Mlbs U3O8). In March 2024, a scoping study3
demonstrated the capacity to expand annual production to 6.7 Mlbs U3O8.
Etango’s advanced credentials are further highlighted by the construction and multi-year operation of the
Etango Heap Leach Demonstration Plant, which comprehensively de-risked the conventional acid heap
leach process to be utilised on the Etango ore. All environmental approvals have been received for the
proposed Etango mine and external mine infrastructure, based on a 12-year environmental baseline.
Bannerman was awarded the Mining Licence for Etango in December 2023 and is progressing all key project
workstreams towards a targeted positive Final Investment Decision (FID) in parallel with strengthening
uranium market fundamentals.
Namibia is a premier uranium investment jurisdiction, with a 45-year history of uranium production and
export, excellent infrastructure and support for uranium mining from both government and community. As
the world’s third largest producer of uranium, Namibia is an ideal development jurisdiction boasting political
stability, security, a strong rule of law and an assertive development agenda. The Bannerman team has
ample direct experience in the development, construction and operation of uranium projects in Namibia, as
well as extensive links into the downstream nuclear power industry.
Bannerman has long established itself as an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) leader in the
uranium and nuclear energy sector. It is also a leader within Namibia on social development and community
engagement and exercises best-practice governance in all aspects of its business. This was recognised
with receipt of the 2023 African Mining Indaba’s ESG Award for Community Engagement.
